If you want to be a very effective warrior you need to use mobiles there are many techniques you can use that l will explain What is a mobile? - It is a town that you are not planning to build & then upgrade into a full sized town, you use it then delete & rebuild in another location. How do l get a mobile? - You upgrade your Palace, each level of the palace give you ability to build 1 more town, the good part about having mobiles is you don’t really have to worry about upgrading the Governor’s Residence to cover the corruption it causes as normally they are not planted for long periods. How many mobiles should l have? - It is a question of balance, on one hand mobiles won’t make you money on the other hand the more you have the more options you have during war & non war periods - I personally think 2 mobiles is very effective, one is helpful but cuts down your options, three is great but you are now earning much less gold meaning you can’t have as big an army or you have to spend more time in gold mode Uses of mobiles 1. Non War Pillage locations – During non war periods it is great to build up your towns & your gold supplies. A good way to do this when you have emptied local pillage locations is to drop a mobile near an inactive player that is on the out skirts of the map(especially if no other players in this area) normally you will find huge stockpiles of resources. So you drop your mobile & move over troops & small amount of resources to start construction, as you are not planning to keep this town you just build:
Upgraded enough to cover the amount of resource coming in, you can either stock pile in mobile & ship home as you need or find a player that would like to buy large amount of resources at discounted prices you can even deliver to them for more profit. Example – In a 3 week period made 72 million profits, many players are happy to buy but don’t want the effort of pillaging seek these players out to help you both 2. War Wonder cool down reduction – This in my opinion is the number 1 advantage of the mobile, as per my wonder guide the more number of towns with temples on a specific wonder will reduce the cool down of that wonder
Sneak attack of an enemy town – It is very important when attacking an enemy you give them little time to react, the less time the have the more chance they will panic or be offline
Once mobile ready move troops & fleet to your town, once they have arrived get you troops to attack non alliance town & send you fleet to occupy port of your enemy. Once you occupy his 1st port you can now attack his other town quickly & using his own AP to wave, troops can attack once you occupy non alliance town use the AP in town wave correct troops. *** Important choice you have to make is what happens if l get hit colossus where do l want my troops to go, all the way home where could be safer or to my little mobile. You need to think about how many enemies in the area, how many l expect to fight, how far my main towns are away & do l have my own colossus? Normally once l occupy the non alliance town l would go to the drop down box under the Military view in that town & change my home town to one of my closest full sized towns(as troops travel fast), my fleet l keep attached to my mobile. If you get colossus or just too many enemy flee battle & they will move back to your mobile (1 hour pull penalty & travel time), usually the enemy will come and occupy your port once you fleet return you can hit colossus & then move you fleet to safety or to re attack Pillage mobile/s – Wars based on total damage using a mobile can win you the war
First you start with sneak attack, drop mobile (send 1250 wood), once mobile drops build barracks (Cue up 39 spears) & trading ports, then send 4-5 k wood over, troops & fleet. Over the next few hours build up your trading ports to about level 4 for both ports. Now once troops/ fleet arrive move out as discussed in sneak attack then once you secure some ports & towns in enemy area go to your barracks and dismiss 40 spearmen or other troops (you need 1250 wood & 40 population to build new mobile), then go to the island you want to move to and drop mobile don’t send extra resources for now you can do that later. Should only take about 30min to load then travel time to new location. Now you have a mobile on the island you want to pillage this cuts down pillage travel times, you can do this frog jump back & forth all over the place in a short time very good when you are far from home & is very cheap usually l use wood l pillage from the enemy to do & you will only loose a few population each drop.
