There’s no reason to have Rogue Hideouts unless you will occasionally want to dabble in Guild vs Guild, or Player vs Player fighting. (Keep in mind to keep a reserve of unattached units of the last age so you can fight off sieges, when needed) For the Defensive minded Alcatraz Owner: If you find that you still have a healthy amount of Rogues in reserve, then you should delete the military buildings from the age you were targeting, and start building units from other ages that you plan to use in the near future. If so, you should start back at step one. When you are finished with your days or weeks of battle, you should be able to look at your troop count and evaluate if you need to build up a Rogue reserve again, or other units. 3.) War:Īfter following the above guide, you should be in good shape to go to war on your preferred map. *note: You will continue to accumulate a few unattached rogues each day during this phase. (Remember you never need to build more than 2 or three units for any specific age) Once you have 50 to 100 of the two or three units from that age that you normally fight with, you can move on to phase three. Pick a specific age that you want to target for fighting, and then build enough military buildings of that age to skew the results when collecting from your Alcatraz to produce those specific age units. Once you stockpile the amount of Rogues you believe you need you can move on to the 2nd phase. I personally aim to have a reserve of at least 1,000 Rogues at any given time. The length of time you spend in this phase largely depends on your Alcatraz level and/or how depleted your unit reserves are. This does not mean destroy premium event buildings like Champion’s Retreats, But keep in mind you should always make sure you will have more Rogue Hideouts then other premium event military buildings so that your Alcatraz during this phase will make more rogues than any other units. 1.) The Build Phase:įirst you must delete or sell all military buildings except for your Rogue Hideouts. There are essentially three stages to maximizing the offensive potential of an Alcatraz. I’m writing this guide because I realize most people who have an Alcatraz fail to maximize it’s offensive and or defensive potential.
