All of the above… We have a state defense alliance that we use for WK. The week of we use a Google doc for everyone to sign up with their troop type, March size and rally size and shit preference (we schedule two 4 hour shifts) for each turret and the hub. The capt goes first and initiates super reinforce and all assisting players send designated amount of troops w/o heros. I prefer second shift so I’m free at the start to port over and attack if we try to take the state or hit any unshielded sancs filling the mud. Troop building: as stated above fill infirmities with taxis (cheapest to heal) then launch attacks on the opposing hub or turrets. You will 120% of mite lost for all dead troops and those in deep healing from the comeback fast buff. Comeback fast allows you to cook troops at 300% spd. But once you get to T9s this becomes very expensive on your RSS. So I only do when I’m moving up to the next troop tier and I’m going to promote my shooters. I’ll typically use a combo of troops from my T8 swamp to suicide for increase mite loss/buff. Otherwise I just rack up my points hitting tiles and sancs filling the mud when their bubbles pop (FYI this can be a grind) especially if the other state doesn’t fill their mud. Point strategies: Setting traps-You can send your first March to gather in a tile and hope that a weaker player hits you without scouting first. Note* this can be dangerous if a bigger player finds you and wipes out your march. Also you can place a trap sanc in the mud and reinforce it. For this I’d suggest a 22-26 with a maxed out Alliance hall that can hold at least 100k in reinforcements and then send T10s or 11s to reinforce. Using anti scout will be helpful where so they can’t seem the reinforcements but may also give it away if the other player is savy to the strategy.
