[1.16 High-Level Construction]

Hello. Amazing update.so Ty!!

Just a question I have a non PvP enabled player in my large land. He has guard towers. Then I try to use capture land. All I get is the 'player has attack structure' and it blocks my capture so I can not get the sentries or anything. And being non PvP there is nothing I can do.

You'll have to attack the AI (The automatic player, Force of Terror) and destroy that land. Then you can expand your land.

[What happens after reducing a land to level 1?]

Yup, that you can!

To prevent losing your captured lands due to an "overly competitive" neighbour the possibility to destroy other players' lands has been removed: using an army to attack a level 1 land with no defences or defenders will result in its capture (at the end of the combat round). The land will not advance your base further (it doesn't count as experience), but will be possible to upgrade and build on until it is merged with any other land or its original owner decides to take it back.

Thanks!

Also, what if an enemy land is just beside our land? Can we still level up our land? Or will we have to defeat the enemy first?

[Super magnets: What does 'charges: 5' mean?]

8 hours ago, Mr. D said:

Well, the charges do refer to 1 press of the "hand"/"flag" button resulting in at least one resource collection.

Oh, so that's what it does! At first I had assumed it meant we could use a super magnet five times. I know, that would make them super overpowered. Assuming that, I used all my super magnets.😅 Silly me.

I'm afraid Force of Terror lands cannot be captured, only destroyed!
I.e. if your army defeats all of the land's defenders and structures the land will disappear, awarding you with Peacekeeping Points that you can spend on new perks.

It's not possible to capture Ai-created lands as that slightly undermines the whole objective of the game: going outside to capture new lands (it gets way too easy to expand with the Ai constantly spawning new territories around you).

Yeah, that makes sense.

Also, can we capture the lands of other players? If yes, how?

[What happens after reducing a land to level 1?]

If I defeat a land belonging to the Force of Terror, what happens next? Can I control that land? If yes, how?

[Super magnets: What does 'charges: 5' mean?]

The super magnets' descriptions say they have five charges, yet they disappear after one use. What's up with that?

[Personnel not being collected]

If I remember from earlier conversations there is a bit of a pixelation of the circle near the edges and while it may look like a circle on the screen, items just inside the circle may actually be outside the border for the software. You sometimes have the opposite effect when you're trying to set up a new base just outside the range of your existing bases

I know, that happens too, but this was clearly different. It was completely inside the border, even on zooming in. It got resolved only when I leveled that land up a lot more.

[Bug Abuse Punishment: Matteo The King]

All Money and Supplies accumulated by "Matteo The King" have been reset and the account is now placed in debt (-10,000 Money and -1,000 Supplies to repay until the resource counter becomes positive again).

That, in my opinion, is the best way to punish such behaviour. Public punishment of such offenders will hopefully curtail any more such acts.

[Effect of using multiple power-ups.]

1 minute ago, Mr. D said:

Super Magnets stack with any other items, yes: your example about the magnet and a bullhorn is correct (400m total collection radius would be achieved for personnel only).

No other items stack though: if you activate 6 Bullhorns and 10 Metal Detectors you will still have a collection radius bonus of 600m for Personnel and 1km for Money, even though the largest circle (Money) will be displayed on the map.

Let me know if that doesn't make sense or if you have more scenarios in mind.  

Yeah, that makes sense. So the distance stacks for each resource individually. 

Also, you must've broken a record right now, answering my question just a couple of minutes after I asked it. Such responsiveness is rare in a forum for an app! This really makes playing much more enjoyable, knowing that the creator is always ready to help and keeps in touch with the community.

 

Also, as this is a GPS-based game, what are your thoughts about Google making its Google Maps data open?

[Effect of using multiple power-ups.]

If we use multiple power-ups, like two super magnets, a super magnet and a bullhorn or two bullhorns, do their effects add up? Like, will a super magnet and a bullhorn mean a 400m extra collection radius for personnel and 300m extra for the rest? What about the other above-mentioned combinations? Thanks in advance for answering.

[Base exposure during A.I. attacks]

1 hour ago, Mr. D said:

But that is very likely to change in the future, as there's just no avoiding the AI.

So they'll be able to attack our base anytime?! Don't be so cruel, please. 

Those guys are pests.

[Personnel not being collected]

Hey, I just leveled up the land again and it was collected this time. I don't know what happened, but thanks anyway!

[Personnel not being collected]

The small flag on the tooltip window. Usually, when a land levels up and its area expands this way, any resources now in its area are automatically captured. This is the first time it's happened to me.

[Personnel not being collected]

There is a personnel resource (1 personnel) in one of my lands, but it isn't being collected. 

The attached picture is a screenshot of that land. The personnel in question is encircled in blue.

 

 

[Use of tracking satellite]

I guess it wouldn't really be a GPS-based travel game otherwise!

True that. 😁

[Use of tracking satellite]

7 minutes ago, Mr. D said:

Whenever you upgrade any of the lands or capture a new land any resources existing on their territory are indeed picked up straight away.
But if in the future any resource appears on any of your captured lands and you're not near enough for collection (within 500m of the upgraded land) you won't be able to pick the resourcesa up unless you use satellite, which collects all resources on all of your captured lands within 100km from the satellite's base.

I.e. you may not even see some of your lands that far, but any resources located within will be picked up by the satellite.

Does this make a bit more sense?  

Yeah, thanks!

Man, you can't do a thing in this game when you're not less than 500m away from something, huh?

[Use of tracking satellite]

I read the description of the tracking satellite in the construct tab but I don't quite understand what it does. Don't we automatically collect anything in the radius of one of our lands?

[Code of Conduct]

9 hours ago, Mr. D said:

No problem, I appreciate the honesty!
You don't need to delete the app from the other device; you can simply logout and the inactive account should become invisible in 7 days.

Okay, thanks!

[Code of Conduct]

Uh, I broke one of these rules (I used multiple accounts for bonus resources) but now I feel bad. So should I delete the app from the other device (both my accounts are on different devices) or is there a way to delete the account?

[Can we have multiple bases?]

If yes, how?

[Cannot find other players]

Hey, I started playing this game and just finished the tutorial. I can't see any other players except for the Force of Terror (AI) in my city. Does that mean no one else plays in my city? Also, can we see flags of players outside our 10km radius?
