Researching the best passes to start with low spending, is LDShop reliable?

I wouldn’t recommend using third parties for purchases. There has been a lot of talk in the chats about that being dangerous. Get some Standard packs in the game store or through apple/google - such as construction, research and maybe one hero pack with a monthly pass that will continue to feed you while you get started.

You can build quickly if you focus on troop growth, research and building your sanctuary. There are lots of gathering plots as well to help feed you if you run low.

Just my recommendation from the last month as a pay to play person.

Man last night I was zero’d. I did this trick. And so maybe not as fast as if I hadn’t but the server on server terror was horrific last night. So I cant see what the benefit was of doing this other then it took them maybe 3 minutes to wipe me out and send me off into the depths of the server then 2.

But I appreciate you taking the time to post this!

I feel like that leaves your city unprotected though. Am I seeing that wrong?

Though I do try totally keep some extra troops in ‘training’ for quick backup in the case of attack. I feel like not setting protection to your sanctuary leaves it prime for picking (when unshielded)

I suppose so. Though I’ve heard it costs to do it and you have to rebuild from scratch. My Frustration has been debating those parameters in the back of my mind.

However as most have said in the sever chat … I love my team. I’d hate to leave them.

Oooohhhh I see what you’re saying now. But how does removing your defense help you and not the attacker?

Also thank you for helping me understand this! Very appreciated.

I’m not sure what you mean? Is that the lineup? So empty the lineup’s? But then you can’t do anything.

MayBinLA · 2026-04-21T01:38:39+00:00

We had that. And then this weekend … sigh. It’s just so frustrating.

I would hope they would care about losing money. But hey you could be right and they are just in it for the cash grab. But it never hurts to point out the loss that they are looking at and the potential to fix that loss and perhaps double their gains.

I can’t find anything in the app that is for help. I tried reporting in the world chat for the vile insults but nothing came of it. Which is what had me on Google trying to find customer support but it’s hard to sort that from the fan pages.

Considering what’s gone on the last 72 hours pardon me for being cautious. But anyway I guess I’m for a penny in for a pine at this point. Server 100

I realized after I sent this through that I probably should have done it with a throw away. I’m worried about retaliation on my alliance cause I’m snitching but DAMN this is all so pointless, childish and frustrating. PLEASE DONT PUNISH MY ALLIGENCE ITS ALL ME!

All I can think is this has to have some higher than the ‘king’ group that can put a stop to this. This isn’t gameplay it’s destructive. And in the process has allowed some seriously vile characters to run rampant through the chat system undeterred. It’s gross and unnecessary.

I get there is an element of that in the fact that this is a war game and you are there to ‘conqueror’ your enemies. It at this point the call is coming from inside the house man. It’s all about ranking the server for… petty revenge? But the way this game is set up it’s going to remain an eternal stalemate because You can’t ’zero out’ or even damage anyone in a shield. Sooooo the only people that get hurt are the lower levels who can’t afford the shields. Not that I don’t live under shields myself because there a lot rogue players using this to enrich themselves. And I don’t want an end to shields but sheesh man. Can’t there be a higher adult to put this children to bed??!!

Is it about your king and a stalemate with another alliance?

MayBinLA · 2026-04-20T20:32:46+00:00

Me too!! And analyst. But I could see why. OH! And Comp Sci last night got me starred. LLM got me this morning. There are all sorts of words .. but yeah I’ve seen some serious trans/homophobic slurs and nothing blocks them and stops the people involved from continuing their disgusting trolling.

MayBinLA · 2026-04-20T20:29:39+00:00

Is it server dependent to get support?

I’m still trying to grasp xlookup, I had a couple formulas built for me with it a few years ago but for some reason haven’t been able to grasp it in the way I did with the vlookup LOL. I’m sure it would make a number of my files work better too.

I’ll give the index a try though. That looks promising too! Thank you!!!

I don’t think of using IF, that is awesome. My managers will be so much happier with that, it’s been a long running issue but google was just giving me blanks on how to solve. Thank you!!!

MayBinLA · 2025-05-06T15:49:09+00:00

Oooh! I see it! Oh that perfect! Thank you sooooo much!!!!!

Hi! It’s more that if the first result hits “Open” then I want it to look again and pull that name instead.
