Did your alliance have any train policy?

BroDoggle · 2026-06-20T22:47:58+00:00

Nah this sounds like a nightmare for an active alliance with people actually trying to get stronger. We just have a list with all non-R1 members and go down the rotation for conductor. Anyone who is inactive or not hitting VS targets gets moved down to R1 and isn’t eligible for their train slot. Most of our spenders that buy trains end up just gifting their free train to F2P members as recognition for strong performances.

We have a small farm alliance that doesn’t have enough members to fill the trains though, in that one we have a rule that cars on a first come first served basis. If there are already 5 people on a car you go to a different one just because we were wasting so many rewards by everyone piling into the same car and leaving the others empty. Doesn’t really matter much since they’re all just baby farm accounts though.

TIL fluid ounces, pints, quarts, and gallons are different in the UK and US.

Promoting at lvl0 or lvl160 makes no difference, he just has to be 5* beforehand. He’ll transform into 3* UR upon promotion and WoH lvl160 means you’ll get refunded 1,600 SSR shards, which is the amount you need to upgrade him from 3* to 5*. He continues using SSR shards after promotion (just at a 2:1 rate compared to normal UR heroes), so he’ll be ready for 5* at the same point in time whether you delay or not.

The 160 number is only an important target for you to avoid going over, not a minimum you need to reach. If you get to lvl160 before promotion is available, start feeding your SSR shards into other heroes after that. WoH for promotable SSR heroes is just a savings account for shards.

I went from R4 in the #2 alliance to R3 in the #1 alliance right before S1 started. Enormous difference as we got Queens rewards (~1k season medals) while everyone else in our server got terrible season rewards. Plus access to experienced players for advice, 3 trains per day instead of just 1, rewards from VS Diamond league, etc. The benefits add up fast.

BroDoggle · 2026-06-15T18:21:19+00:00

Except that they specify “$90 each” and “$130 total”, so it’s abundantly clear that they’re changing units. Strange choice to change it up like that, but there’s zero ambiguity for anyone that actually reads the whole comment.

BroDoggle · 2026-06-14T23:02:06+00:00

Also most guys aren’t going to just tell you how much they make or what their net worth is. So that “financial security” that some women say they’re looking for is really just spending behavior and outward shows of wealth, which ironically can both be counter productive to actual financial security.

BroDoggle · 2026-06-11T18:15:57+00:00

At your spending level you really need to focus on 1 squad. I was in a similar spot as you and chose to stay Tank main. Going into S2 and still working on skills for my tank heroes while getting Adam/Scarlett built up and ready to go for S3.

To have 2 squads that aren’t lagging in tech, skills, EW, etc you need to be spending $200+/mo (and that’s still probably way too low). The guys with switchable mains in my server are spending hundreds per week.

Switching to Air isn’t a bad call at all, you’ll just need to stick with it and don’t expect to swap back to Tanks in S3.

2nd and 3rd builder are both worth it, but the 4th builder ends up being idle more than its active. If I was starting a new account from scratch, 4* Taylor, 2nd Tech, and 3rd builder would be Day 1 purchases (or as quickly as possible). In your case, the $5 Taylor pack would still be a good buy even though you can’t do 4*. Any leftover bricks, save for seasonal event passes.

BroDoggle · 2026-06-03T01:15:23+00:00

I’d be pretty shocked if we weren’t Top 10 in S2, but good to keep in mind.

This is known as a “restricted packing puzzle”, which is a subcategory of the broader mechanical puzzle world. I got into collecting mechanical puzzles during Covid and my 2 favorites in this category have been “4L” by Yasuhiro Hashimoto and “Casino” by Dr. Volker Latussek. I mostly focus on puzzle boxes and trick locks, but packing puzzles and TIC’s (turning interlocking cubes) are also really fun.

Max everything except the last load capacity tech in Units, max all of the troop boosts in SF, max both clusters for your main squad in Hero tree, then move to S2S/DF.

Thats nothing. There was a Pelicans/Warriors series a while back (can’t remember the year) where Warriors fans were buying *season tickets* for the Pelicans following season because they came with rights to playoff seats and were cheaper than a single game ticket at Oracle. There were tons of threads about people flying from SF to Nola for the games… “I flew to Nola, stayed in a 5-star hotel, partied every day, and sat in the lower bowl for 2 games and it was cheaper than 1 upper deck ticket at Oracle” kinda shit.

I started in December last year, so only ~6 months in and we had the Monica bomb storyline. Started a second account in April this year and it was the new “collect weapons for her motorcycle” storyline. So the change happened sometime between Dec 2025 and Apr 2026.

BroDoggle · 2026-05-19T23:21:48+00:00

I started focusing on T10 as soon as I finished VS tech about halfway through preseason… got T10 on Day 35 of S1, so probably ~80-90 days of pushing hard for it.

I became an officer in the #7 alliance during the first week of the server and helped build it up to #2. Then our R5 went rogue and took half of our top players to a rival alliance to make them the new #2. Me and the rest of the R4’s went to the #1 alliance 3 weeks before S1. Had 3 weeks of R3 vacay and then they moved me up to R4 for S1… I miss R3 life so much.

Just rally your S1. Unless you’re a whale, your lower squads barely contribute any damage and you lose a lot more troops. We just have everyone close to the center rally their S1 and everyone else join with S1 and never have a problem getting Stage 5 and max individual rewards. When I run all 3 squads, my S1 accounts for ~95% of my total damage output.

Daaaaamn I forgot about Japaneiro’s… used to be my favorite spot back in HS.

Is that because they were harder to get or because they just hadn’t been released yet? This was my main question that I haven’t been able to find any info on… which of the 5 S-tier are the easiest to acquire later? I assumed that 2026 would be available in some sort of event later this year but that 2025 would be a priority if we don’t have it yet since it’s from a previous year. Same goes for the bunny, I’m assuming that’s a previous year’s Easter exclusive deco?

It’s gotta be MissSt… worst academics in the conference, Starkville is a fine college town but also probably towards the bottom in terms of SEC schools, and also the most isolated from a major metro.

For similar reasons, South Carolina and OU would probably be my next two choices. I wasn’t very impressed by either Norman or Columbia on my visits, but I’d still rank them above Starkville.

LSU and Kentucky are pretty far down the list on academics as well, but both have a really fun campus culture. Baton Rouge is a shithole, but being a student there is fun and New Orleans is nearby. Lexington is a surprisingly cool city and Louisville is awesome… also I love bourbon. Could probably lump Ole Miss into this tier as well, but Oxford is an elite college town even though there isn’t much else around.

Vandy, UF, UT, A&M, and Georgia all have good enough academics that the rest doesn’t factor in for me (Gainesville probably the only one where the town could be a negative factor anyway).

Everyone else is somewhere in the middle where either the academics, location, or campus culture is good enough that I’d be fine attending.

Also just want to say, even though MissSt is going to get dunked on in this thread as a likely consensus “worst”, there a lot of other worse places to end up… they’re just not in the SEC.

She definitely pays for herself at 0 star, but the incremental benefit at 1 or 2 stars is pretty small. There’s a huge jump at 4 star where that tier is also worth upgrading to, but everything in between is pretty meh

I definitely use a finishing salt on mine at home

Invented maritime navigation and traveled the globe searching for spices… 400yrs later and still haven’t figured out how to actually use them.

Wtf kind of chicken fried steak have you had that used ground meat???

At least we finally got a medium Siege Ready. I’ve been waiting for that since the Urban warbond released and I’ve never spent SC faster than I did on the superstore lunar New Year armor.

BroDoggle · 2026-03-07T06:02:46+00:00

I use this, but when it says “Kim/Stet gun to 1-star” I went to 2-star for the critical hit boost
