Confused: you can't upgrade unless you get Draco 5's, but you can't get Draco 5's unless you fight front guards, but you can't fight front guards unless your 4th grade, so it's a conunundrum.
Can't be done.
This game is not user-friendly, it is only fun for the 2 power alliances, newbies and not as powerful players are left in the dust, they attack every time you build an outpost. There is nothing to encourage a player to continue. Once players build their 45 buildings, they abandon the game and move on. Sad really.
Pity there isn't some other way to "earn" luxury objects, besides attacking and killing things, which you actually don't do, you just watch some computer sim shoot arrows, or throw spears. There is really not much involvement personally or any control in this game....not much incentive to keep going.
Keep seizing for dye...but no dye turns up. Why is that? Why does it say dye can be obtained by warring, but it doesn't end up in the coffers? Doesn't make sense.
Got badge 2 before the time has run out....it's still not a satisfying "free" game....so now that one knows how to play, they go onto a different server and start over again and again....wonder how many "abandoned" towns are taking up room on all the servers?
