Keeping cash growing
Tips
Your base earns cash continuously, including while you are logged out. That means every time you come back, you have a pool of cash ready to spend on more buildings or weapons. Reaching one million dollars earns you the Capitalist badge.
- Place new buildings every time you log in to keep compounding your income.
- Hitting 25 placed buildings unlocks the Empire Builder badge.
- The Capitalist badge requires earning one million dollars total.
Attack and defense — keeping the balance
TableDestroying enemy buildings cuts their cash income, giving you a competitive edge. At the same time, a base with weak defenses can be torn apart by other players. Alternate between strengthening your offense and shoring up your defenses as your cash allows.
| Offense | targeting enemy buildings directly reduces their cash income. |
| Defense | defensive structures absorb incoming attacks and protect your income buildings when you are not online. |
| Missiles | launching 50 missiles earns the Missile Commander badge. |
| War Criminal badge | destroying 25 enemy buildings in battle marks real offensive progress. |
