IF you miss a day it will start over at day one again.

You earn one social currency heart each time you help out a neighbor by visiting their base and putting out fires or other repairs. You will start the game with 2000 gold coins. These can be collected until you have completed a set. Once you complete a set you can sell it for coins and then collect the set again. You can use this currency to purchase special objects that will give you advantages during missions, buildings that pay out larger amounts and you can use them for instant completion of building construction or to skip certain quests and earn instant rewards. You can access the currency menu in the shop or when you try to purchase something there is a prompt for it. Gold coins can be purchased as well in bundles. The more you purchase the less you will pay overall. The larger the bundle you purchase the better overall rate you will receive. Each time you go on a mission it will cost you at least two barrels of oil. As you level up you will need to place these buildings as your oil needs will increase in battle especially once you have a lot of machines, aircraft and ships in use. If you do not have enough you will have to add energy buildings until you have enough. You will see an oil drum icon over the building when it is ready and you must tap on it to collect. It will not produce any more oil until you collect from the building. You can increase electricity by placing power plants, wind turbines and other types of buildings on your base. These are expensive and you can purchase them with gold coins or gold star currency. Once they are fully constructed they will add a certain amount of electricity to your base which will allow you to build other structures that produce items such as oil or machinery. As you level up more will unlock for your purchase. The game will alert you if you need more. You can tap on an income building at any time to see how much time is left before it pays out. When you tap on these they are moving into the collections menu. Once you complete and sell a collection you can complete and sell it again indefinitely. This will take you to the menu shown in the image above. Once you have collected one of every four items in a collection you will be able to sell it for coins and oil. They can be purchased using gold coins, gold stars, or social currency in the game shop. Then you may need to place an energy building first. Tap on this area to activate it and from this on it will work for you in whatever capacity it is intended. In this mode you can tap on any item to highlight it and then move it to a new location. Items purchased with gold stars will be sold for coins only at a fraction of their original value as well. You will also see the cost to purchase the expansion in coins and in gold stars. Tap on the option you wish to use then you will see the area highlight for a certain amount of time. Once this is over the area will highlight in green. Tap on the green area to activate it and you will now see any grassy area turn to a paved area and you will be able to build on this. Missions will pay out a very large reward once all the battles within them are completed. If you want to go directly into the campaign map tap on Campaign in the Tools menu. Tap on the icon on the red map to go into battle. Each mission has five battles to complete and each one must be completed successfully five times so twenty five battles to win the mission. Tap on Execute to begin the battle. Each successive payout is also much larger. Only six units can be deployed on the battlefield. In later levels it will cost more as you have more machines and aircraft with you. Note your oil indicator at the top of the screen and make sure you are always producing oil in your oil wells and other buildings. The units will target and shoot opposing forces automatically. If you tap on the crates they will explode and kill more of the enemy. If it appears on your side and you tap it you will get an advantage of some sort. Tap on any item on either side as soon as they appear. Be sure you are producing them in buildings on your base and that you are producing enough oil from your oil wells and towers to power them and go to battle.

The game will explain this to you. The item could have a positive or a negative effect depending on what it is. Tap on these items when you see them to activate or prevent their effect. If you miss the chance to tap on the item it will be wasted. Remember you can have your current game level times five as your maximum number of allies. If you use the distress call this will add an additional unit to your army for the duration of the battle phase. If you have no allies left or have used up all distress calls you can hire a mercenary with gold stars. Once the battle is over a defeat or victory message will appear showing you the stats. You can use gold stars to purchase back killed military men if you have one of a great value you would like back. Tap on Hire for the mercenary menu. These can only be purchased using gold stars and these will be available for a specific number of battles. These mercenaries will be sent on all missions until they run out and represent different numbers of soldiers. These are a great way to increase your odds of winning a mission and should be used in higher levels. These are also known as units in the game. These will allow you to purchase any machine or aircraft outright using gold star premium currency. If you do this the item will be instantly added to your inventory. You can purchase special buildings and construct them on your base. Tap on these buildings and a menu such as the one pictured above will appear allowing you to purchase these items using coins, lesser amounts of gold stars and sometimes social currency which is earned by visiting and helping your friends in the game. Once you choose an item via this option you must wait a specified amount of time before the item is ready and added to your arsenal. They strengthen your army significantly and allies can send you daily gifts of ammunition and machines you can use against enemies. Tap on their name and a menu will appear. If they choose to be friends from then on you can send gifts to each other and help each other out. So if you are at level seven you are allowed to have thirty five friends or allies in the game. Each time you level up you may invite five more people to be your allies. This will earn you social points hearts that can be spent on various items in the game. You may send one gift to each of your allies once every twenty four hours. They may also send gifts to you. A countdown clock will appear once a gift is sent. Any enemy with a bounty is displayed prominently on the map for others to see. You can collect rewards after the enemy is defeated. Bounty rewards are stackable and can be set multiple times. You can only put up what you have as bounty on an enemy player and no more. Place power plants and other buildings to increase this number. Visiting friends and helping them out earns you social currency hearts which can be used to purchase special military ranks, machines and aircraft to use in missions. Your allies can also help you battle against others once every twenty four hours by adding an extra unit to your army during battles. If you need to place large buildings look for land without trees to expand with. They also increase the look of your base and increase the payout of any income buildings they are placed directly next to. Use this if you really need it or save it for highest level battles. You may only use one distress call per battle and each ally provided you with one every twenty four hours. Each time you level up go into the social menu and invite five more people to be your ally. You can check your inbox to accept invitations and gifts daily. You can play once every twenty four hours for free or my purchase premium or gold level items with gold stars if you wish.
