The Daily Player
Some people don’t have the opportunity or the inclination to
play the game more than 1 session a day. Here is a short guide to becoming a
Daily Player.
A MORALITY TALE?
The game gives you several resources based on the passing of
time. They are:
- 1 Energy every 5 minutes. That’s 288 per day.
- 1 Stamina every 5 minutes. That’s 288 per day.
- Hourly property income. You get 24 of these a day.
If any of those resources won’t fit into your “bucket” it
will be wasted, and will not help you. It’s like throwing away food or money,
your parents will yell at you. Your friends will look at you like they think
that you are not to be trusted to borrow their car. Don’t waste resources, in
the game or real life, so you can be likable and live a long and happy life.
STATS
Many players advise beginners to get their E and S up to
100. That’s fine advice, if you’re going to check in every 8 hours and burn
down these supplies. “Burn down” is a slang term, meaning to use them up,
preferably in some constructive manner. But if you’re a Daily Player, you will
only get 100 of the 288 available stam every day. The other 188 will splash out
of your bucket and trickle down the street. Don’t be that guy.
Get E and S to 300. Waste not, want not. If you do this to
start the game, it will take you until about level 125, which takes frequent
players about 3 weeks. Whether you want to be strong and level up slowly, or
weak and level up quickly, you should wait to act on this decision until you
have a bucket big enough to match your playing style. The daily player needs a
big bucket.
PROPERTY
Once your property fills your safehouse, you only get 10% of
your property income until you collect it. Let’s say that you get $10,000 per
hour in property income. In 24 hours, you’d get $240,000. But if your safehouse
only holds $150,000, you’d stop getting $10,000 at that point, and only get $1000
for the next 9 hours, or $159,000. That’s a loss of $81,000 (or 1/3 of the
potential cash for the day).
Get a 25-hour safehouse. Or a 30-hour safehouse. You have to do some math. Some
milestones:
Income of $5,000 / hour requires Safehouse Lvl 3, which
costs $240,000 and protects $150,000. You should buy this just as soon as you
can afford it. When you reach $5,000, start working on Safehouse Level 4, which
costs $960,000 and protects $320,000.
EMPIRE
Some empires want you to play several games a day. But there
are plenty that don’t stress it if you are playing at least once a day. Look
around for an empire that suits your playing style, once you know what your
playing style is.
GIFTING
How hard would it be for you to send out gifts once a day?
You’re gonna want to start a Skull King boss someday. Wouldn't it be nice if
you had friends who sent you gifts? Gifting is broken, but it still helps to
try.
THE DAILY CHECKLIST
- Join an empire battle. When you’re out of ammo, leave the battle and …
- Burn down your energy. You may need to shuffle your LT’s, to level up the right ones, get the benefit of their skills, etc.
- Burn down your stamina. I do boss jobs, but you can battle if that’s your thing.
- If you level up, return to step 2.
- Collect your property income.
- Donate
to your empire. If you have
- Buy new property, if you have the money.
- Buy lots of FP, use it on Crates, Scratchers, and Refills. I skip this step.
- Put the balance in the bank. If it’s more than a million dollars, seat Charmaine first.
- Pay respect to the faction of your choice.
- Set up your LT’s for battle. Return to the empire battle. Use up all your tokens.
- Return to your happy Real Life.
There isn't anything the Constant Player does that a Daily
Player can’t do. You might get there slower, but Daily Players are nothing if not patient.
