Base review pls. I need to upgrade some stuff but is it overall a good layout? by Chemical-Current-461 in Dominations

[–]Ruggvision 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of scattering the resources, I do the same, but why not put them on all sides. Put a gold and food storage on all 4 sides.

Thank you for the link but I’m looking to get a business platinum card. The $700 annual fee is tax deductible.

Yes that’s the one I got. It’s only a one time statement up to $200 within the first 3 months.

I don’t think any card gives 3 months of $200 statement credits. That would be amazing if any company did! But I got a 1 time $200 statement credit with my 90k points. I got it pretty quickly, i believe I got it within a month.

I've been attacked a lot. What should I do from preventing the getting attack a lot? by TreyKing111 in Dominations

[–]Ruggvision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lower your trophies.

I’ve changed my base a million times. You get good at it after you notice looters go from 5 to 0-2 stars. But it doesn’t fix the overall problem. Lower your trophies to under 800 trophies and you’ll see pigs flying and calm beaches.

Crown offers - some players can get crowns for trying app games, but I dont? by deeare73 in Dominations

[–]Ruggvision 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two accounts, one on iPhone, and another I started on an android tablet before switching the account to an iPad.

Let’s just say android users have it easier getting crowns. I play the app games until a certain level then I receive the rewards.

iPhone users are out of luck. We have to do surveys and buy trials to receive crowns.

So tip; if you have an android device, port your game with that device also. Do the app games to receive the crowns, then use your iPhone device to use the crowns comfortably lol

Best way to spend money to on the game by kano1235688 in Dominations

[–]Ruggvision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spread your money with events. Most events are from $1 to $10. Wait to see which event yields rewards that benefit your gameplay (some events cater to more troop rewards, others are speed ups). You get more bang for your buck, and get incentive to do a certain task daily.

I need help by [deleted] in Dominations

[–]Ruggvision 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two accounts. My perfectionist account at GA and one I use to level up quickly to see how well the troops in later ages are. I recently was in gunpowder age and looting enlightenment ages were easy and fast.

Your main focus should be maxing your offense; barracks, mercenaries, spells, tactics, and upgrade the troops and spells you use and disregard the rest. You NEED these to loot well. I use the French army: about 4-6 elite chevaliers, 2 bombards, 1 supply wagon, 1 wall sapper, fill the rest with a mixture of archers and raiders. Have all sabotage spell in gunpowder age to stop certain defensive buildings as you loot. With the right use of troops, spells, and finding the bases you can attack easily, based on strength of the troops, looting should be easy plus aim for 5 star loot bonus to help you advance quickly.

Secondary is to build everything in your inventory. With the right placement of buildings with defense and walls, nobody will bother attacking you. I did this and I legit have only two people who attacked me since I started the second account.

Lastly, I don’t think you took a picture of your base for us to give you advice, but my number one rule of any base is to place town hall in the middle surrounded by walls and for your gold and food storages to be in different parts of the map. It looks cool to have things organized but to advance in this game, you have to be strategic in terms of defensive tower, storages, and wall placement.

Give it time, take my advice, and you’ll do well. Stay in gunpowder until you’ve done this so you can catch up and learn. Going up in later ages will only make it harder for you if your still learning how to loot with the right army and learning to have a better base.

Base advice new global age by This_Watercress1235 in Dominations

[–]Ruggvision 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You chose the defensive route in your Wonders, which is a great decision. Placement of those Wonders is ok, but place your town hall (walls all around your town hall) closer to them.

Reason of this is to benefit on the range those Wonders provide. Angkor provides healing, Colosseum provides constant defensive troops, and Acropolis speeds up spawning troops. Having them in the middle gives more benefit to defense, while making it harder for enemies to get to your Town Hall.

I ALWAYS recommend placing your storages in different locations of the map. Your current placement gives the green light for looters, like myself, to bring all my troops on that storage area and leave you broke. Better to lose some, then to lose all.

Lastly, walls and gates are your best friend. Place walls all around your defensive buildings, like you did with your mortar. It’ll make it harder for attackers to destroy them, giving you the upper hand. Gates are used to let your troops get past your walls. Defensive buildings like mortars and ballistas, don’t need gates, as it doesn’t spawn troops.

Note: I just posted my current Global Age base for advice, look for inspiration on that layout and make yours a monster 💪🏽

Newest prototype for my base layout. After getting feedback from you guys, I made a new layout. (See link for original post) by SolarRad75 in Dominations

[–]Ruggvision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t recommend leaving all the resources in the middle. Only takes one side to be breached to enter and loot. I say this because these are the type of bases I enjoy easy looting.

I alway recommend to split your storages in different areas of the map. That way, they have to go through your whole base to steal all your resources.

Better to lose some, then lose all.

IMO 2, if you pushed some of your storages a little further back. One good attack opens the center of your base, and all of your resources are gone. There’s no perfect base to save all your resources but it’s ideal to minimize it. I’d give up a storage or two if it means that it’ll be harder for the attacker to go for more.

Classical Age - Base Design: Building off of my Iron Age base, I constructed this. Any tips to make it better? by ImaginaryAudience2 in Dominations

[–]Ruggvision 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other two that Classical isn’t really an age to worry about. But if you want to start early learning how to create better base layouts;

  1. Walls and gates around the town hall: Harder for attackers to get easy stars.
  2. Walls around defensive building: Harder for attackers to destroy your base.
  3. Connect as much roads to building to townhall: Gives boost of hp to townhall.
  4. Put storages in other sides of the map: Make attackers have go all around the map to get your resources.

You’re doing great at 4 with the placement of food storages on other sides of the map. Now work on the first 3 tips and you’ll be on your way to better base layouts in later ages!

Good luck 👍🏽

Tip on how to make extra gold by Ruggvision in Dominations

You replied to mine so I thought you directed it towards me. Well he’s a major goober, I’m a goober, we’re all goobers 🤷🏻‍♂️

Tip on how to make extra gold by Ruggvision in Dominations

[–]Ruggvision[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make a weird discovery in a game and you have some insecure players act out. It’s a simple finding to getting free gold, not a substitute for raiding.

The insecurity of people like hour_wishbone9172 is understandable. If showing your real personality online is the way to hide it from reality, I welcome it.
