– A boss battle energy cost is half the boss level, the player level is irrelevant.
– Smuggle missions energy cost is 1 point for each shield.
– Smuggle mission rewards do not scale up with player level.
– Enemy AI does not have fog of war. That is why you get shoot by artillery or other arc fire units without him spotting you with a scout.
– To find a friend to add him to your friends list type in any chat room @xxxxxx where “xxxxx” is your friend’s name.
– Mystery boxes are awarded every 2 levels and there is no other way to get them. I suggest you open them at a level between 7 and 12, the reward from this region are decent and will help you a lot.
– The rankings page is updated every 24 hours. It happens at 4:00 or 5:00 AM CET time, not sure which one exactly.

– There are 3 heroes present in the game, you get the third one from one of the trader missions.
– You receive 24 point of energy when you level up. Take note that the pool cannot grow over 24 energy so when you are close to a new level try to spend all your energy.
– When you buy an energy drink there is no need to spend all your energy before because the pool will grow over 24.
– The deploy size of your army is affected by your hero level. If you use a hero with a higher level you will have a bigger deploy pool. This is why it is best to focus and level up faster your “war” hero.
– At level 5 the heroes get a secondary ability.
– Harald hero does not have any weapon, he is a smuggling truck hero.
– If you do not end a battle without a limited time it will count as a loss. I am not sure but i think it is 48 hours.
– Each smuggle mission lasts 6 hours and when you are attacked the time stops. The time will resume after you have completed the battle.
– You can receive only 1 attack during a smuggling mission.
– Bosses start attacking players over lvl 5
– The boss system uses so-called attack-me-points to keep track of who to attack. You start getting them at level 4, they reset to 0 when you are added to a boss party, and you start getting them again 72 hours after your latest boss died. Only if you have 5 or more attack-me-points, will bosses be able to spawn for you.
– The trades mission are spread each for 1 player level up to level 10. In case you have locked ones level your player up to get them. For example trader mission #7 requires a level 7 player.
– The old shield system is back. 1 shield means enemy will be 1-2 levels lower than you, 2 shields is the same level as you and 3 shields is 1-2 levels above you.
