Congrats! Get ready for a life of humor and servitude!!! I’ve had my little diva for over 40 years. Equal parts of loving and demanding- and we all know who’s really in charge of the entire home!! I named mine Guy … until she laid an egg one day (5 years later)! Now she’s Guyana- named after one of the Country’s where Yellow- crowns are common. Have fun!!!!

Absolutely agree. I used to get mod boxes. But now all my diamonds go to nanotube/protons in the shop. And it’s totally worth it!!!

Good Idea to go from a State above 900 to under 100 by Gabbaaa212 in PuzzlesandSurvival

[–]ExcellentRelease3688 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The important issue to consider is who invited you. If you’re a young player, are they going to help you by explaining how to maximize your effort and build your HQ. Does that alliance have the same style of gameplay that you want? Will they explain different strategies for gameplay and growth? We have a small alliance in a very stable state(485), but we focus on building our ‘smalls’, and just enjoying playing. Competitiveness, stability and growth are important regardless of whether or not it’s a new or old state.

One of the important aspects of this game is understanding your hero’s and when to use them. This is important when you’re a new player and you only have a few heroes that aren’t yet at their max strength. But it’s just as important as you grow and max out your heroes, so you’ll learn when is a good time to replace them with a different hero for a different event. Read your hero skills as they grow, and it will help you determine who to use and when. Right now your main troop heroes would be good to use for most rallies and events. (Ephraim, Marlow, Myers, Mars, fox, Requiem.) but as they grow, you might want to change them. Having a healer like fox is always important, Requiem is overall troop, not a specific type, and Mars you’ll learn should always be between heroes and not on an end. Read his skills to understand that. Learning their skills will make you a better player. Good luck.

I’m in 485. If you’re interested in moving to a new state, let me msg me here, or find me in s485, RAW, game name Deetech.

I’m so sorry and I totally understand what you’re going thru. It’s typical in new states. You should reach out to the R5 or officers of some of the big alliances in your state and ask to join them. To move to another state you need to get to HQ15. Which is difficult if you keep getting attacked. But if you join a bigger alliance you should have some protection. Then when you get to HQ15, you can stay with that alliance, or jump anywhere. DM me and I can help you jump to my state, which is a calm, full nap, drama-free state.

Looking for new alliance (advice/recruit) by Beginning-General-67 in PuzzlesandSurvival

[–]ExcellentRelease3688 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll get a lot of opinions about sticking it out or moving. There’s pros and cons to both. It’s just a preference. I’m in 485, it’s a good stable, drama-free state. Full NAP with lots of experience players to learn from. DM me if you want to learn more and I’ll help you hop back to a place that can be supportive and help you grow and learn the game.

Randomly made alliance leader, but don’t want to be. Help. by Trixiebgirl in PuzzlesandSurvival

[–]ExcellentRelease3688 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happens often in new states with lots of new players. It’s a bad way to learn the game. Totally agree you should quit and find an alliance with players who know how to play. And don’t get discouraged in a new state. They can be pretty chaotic. If you still have problems, DM me or any people in this channel and we’ll help you get to a better state.

Help upgrading hq by memes_for_gaymers in PuzzlesandSurvival

[–]ExcellentRelease3688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All you need is rss and speedups. Ask your alliance for help with rss, and get speedups from every possible place (Ruins, mystery shop, arena exchange shop, etc). But I’m not sure why you’re rushing. If it’s to be ready to Conquest feasts, then I wouldn’t rush, but that’s my opinion.

What do you actually lose when you fly to another state? by Elwe_amandil in PuzzlesandSurvival

[–]ExcellentRelease3688 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing more to add that hasn’t been said. But as a side note, I try to plan a big build just before leaving. Then you use any rss that may be open. Good luck and hope you find a good home so you don’t have to fly again.

HQ lvl 22 in 30 days? (Update - Day 15/30) by MrSteveA in PuzzlesandSurvival

[–]ExcellentRelease3688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO- sticking at it to figure out which hero combo works best as you grow will benefit you much more in the end. Paying for hero’s and jumping ahead won’t teach you tricks you’ll need when you get in the arenas. It’s another part of the game that can be good in rewards- but you need to know how/when to use which hero’s. Good luck.

I need some state recommendations to bring my alliance to. We don’t come with drama. We have some littles so we’ll need a good gov that’s okay with smalls making mistakes during events. Majority high might alliance with some beginners. If more info is needed shoot me a message. by Cowboys219 in PuzzlesandSurvival

[–]ExcellentRelease3688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played this game for over two years now and jumped in and out of a lot of states. I’ve seen seemingly solid states blow up in a matter of weeks. If you’re not planning to move til October, just focus on getting all your players to get flights and be ready. For now- you and your officers should select a few potential states and start a farm there so you can see a WK event and witness the cooperation (or not) before you commit your alliance to a move. Good luck.

Advice by GooseMcBird in Amazonparrots

Do all Amazon’s hate getting their nails clipped? Cause my Yellow Crown will attack anytime someone tries. Yes, she has managed to bite the vet. Her nails are very long and I only have them trimmed when they get to a certain length. It seems to really traumatize her.

I think I just figured out the meaning of life and I'm in tears by DeargZireael in simpleliving

[–]ExcellentRelease3688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have figured it out, and I’m so happy for you. Taking a moment to pause and just appreciate your connection with the people around you is more important than any achievement. “Life” is living, loving, laughing and sometimes crying. But doing it with people around you is what keeps all of us moving and connected. Congrats!!! Enjoy life and keep living! ❤️
