But still relevent.
The best things to do at this game is to attack. Attack every day with 2 fleets.
Times. Their are certain times in the game that are the best for attacking, mainly when europe sleeps so about 3am GMT - 5am GMT is generally some of the best times as thats when most alliance defence is at it weakest.
Value. Try to attack the biggest players you can with regards to value.
Losses. Try not to be put off by losing ships somtimes the end justifys the means and losing a few ships today will put you in a better position tomorrow.
Rescorses. Horde your res throughout the day till just before landing then spend them all. This lowers your value and thus gives a larger XP jump than you would have previously had.
Calc. Always calculate your battles before you launch, also even if theirs defence dont be put off till you calculate a worste case scenario it might not be as bad as it looks.
Help. Try to always attack in groups so that you can cover a whole galaxy with incoming this reduces the chances of ingal eta 5 defence.
The last tactic thats very very usful fleet catch thy enemy. But i dont want to be responsable for explaining how this is done as its an evil tactic and should only be learned by losing your whole fleet.
Im not sure how much this will help people or how much is secret tactics but was somthing to do when im bored if i tink of anything else i will add it in.
excuse my spelling
