Good Evening, community! I just found this game on the Google Play Store, so my best friend and I just installed it. I'm still really new to it, thus I have some questions, if you all would be willing to share your wisdom with me, I would really appreciate it! 1.) Any tips/advice in general about the game? 2.) My best friend and I live fairly close, but when I try and track him, I can't see him on my map. I can only see my base, and some base belonging to a level 1815 Kellenasia dude. Should I be able to see his base? (We're in an alliance, and our bases are still fairly low level).
