Beginning Goals

The game has 4 major phases of player growth. If you are a new player, your goal should be get to phase 2 as soon as possible, the game is much more fun after that. Then Phase 3 to really be player. The numbers below refer to the power of your troops, not your total house power which is much larger. Also they are rules of thumb.

Phase 1 - Newbie. Your total Troop Power is less than 1.5 Million. You are vulnerable to being wiped out in one hit by any player above Keep 26.

Phase 2 - Vulnerable when rallying. Your total troop power is less than 5 million. Any time you join a rallies, your troops at home may be less than 1.5 Million power and again you are vulnerable to any single hit. You will need reinforcements when joining rallies often. Realistically it’s hard to get here without T7 Troops.

Phase 3 - Player - safe to join rallies. Even after joining 4 rallies, you have more than 3Million troop power left over. A single march from a T10 Won‘t do much damage. This means your total troop power is > 7 million.

Phase 4 - Painful to Zero. Your total troop power is over 25 million. If a big player with a big dragon sends his best boosted march against you, he will loose all his troops, even if you have 4 marches out in a rally. If 5 T10s rally you with dragons you will win the first several battles. You are as safe as it gets. You can however still be rallied and Zeroed if your enemies want to loose enough troops. 40M power players get zeroed, not often but it happens.

Generally speaking - concentrate on getting to (T-7 Troops) as fast as you can. $300 can you get you to T7 in under 1 day with speed ups.
