HOVER WITH MOUSE ABOVE NAMES
In the game, hover with your mouse above the names you don't know, so that an explanation will appear together with advice and details.

ARMY DISTRIBUTION
The recommended army distribution is 5% attack units, 5% defense units, 5% spies, 5% assassins and 80% civilian units (farmers, workers and miners)

UNIT PRODUCTION AND INCOME
The most important in this game is unit production, second most important income.
Unit production increases your population, income increases the amount of Kuwal (Aderan Wars money) you have.
Income can be stolen, unit production is rather safe if you keep training your units or selling them.

You should keep increasing your unit production even if it is above 10.000.

You should always train all your untrained units, or sell them.

You increase your unit production by researching it on the RESEARCH page,
and increase income by training untrained units into farmers, workers and miners in the TRAINING page

Having workers and miners involves the risk of having them all killed if a player destroys your defenses
and then sends his strike forces on 10 to 50 invasion missions. Each mission will kill 1% of your miners and 0.3% of your workers.

Your farmers cannot be killed

Once your unit production grows above 960, you should build CONSTRUCTION YARD LEVEL 1 in the CONSTRUCTION page and after it is completed,
build more TRAINING FACILITIES so that your units train faster.

ATTACK UNITS AND STRIKE ACTION
You attack other players with attack units to steal their unprotected kuwal, untrained units, destroy their defenses or kill their workers or miners.
To increase your attack action, you have to train more attack soldiers (training attack supers is recommended)
and you should arm each soldier with 1 attack weapon in the ARMORY (arm your troops with the best weapon you have).

You can research better weapons in the RESEARCH page
And research attack technologies after you build a RESEARCH FACILITY.

Strike Mission => Attack
Use this mission if you want to steal the unprotected kuwal of a player.
If your strike is stronger than enemy defense, you will succeed and steal roughly 95% of enemy kuwal.

Strike Mission => Raid
Use this mission if you want to steal the untrained units of a player.
If your strike is stronger than enemy defense, you will succeed and steal 1%-1.5% of enemy untrained units.
If you build a RE-EDUCATION FACILITY, a successful raid will give you 1.5%-2.5% of enemy untrained units.

Strike Mission => Assault
Use this mission if you hate someone so much that you are willing to spend a lot of resources to destroy the defenses of your enemy.
If your strike is much lower than enemy defense, you will have much more losses than kills.
IF your strike is similiar to enemy defense, you will have more losses than kills
If your strike is much stronger than enemy defense, you will loose much less units than you kill.

No matter how weak the enemy, if you have a huge strike you will have huge repair costs even if the enemy has tiny defenses.

The assault mission is the most efficient mission at crushing enemy defenses.
Once enemy defenses are crushed, his/her assassins, workers, miners and attack units are at your mercy.

Strike Mission => Hunt Assassins
Use this mission if you have destroyed enemy defenses and wish to kill enemy assassins.
Your attack units will kill 3.5%-4.5% of enemy assassins in each attack.

Strike Mission => Invasion
Use this mission if you have destroyed enemy defenses and wish to kill enemy workers and miners.
Your attack units will kill 0.75% miners AND 0.3% workers in each attack.

Strike Mission => Destruction
Use this mission if you have destroyed enemy defenses and wish to kill enemy attack units.
Your attack units will fight with 100% efficiency, enemy attack units will fight with 70% efficiency.

DEFENSE UNITS AND DEFENSE ACTION
Defense units protect you from enemy attack units, who want to steal your kuwal, untrained units, destroy your defense or kill your civilian units.
To increase your defense action, train defense soldiers and arm them with best defense weapons.

You can research better weapons in the RESEARCH page
And research defense technologies after you build a RESEARCH FACILITY.

SPIES AND COVERT ACTION
Spies protect you from enemy spies, who want to destroy your attack or defense weapons.
To increase covert action you have to train spies in TRAINING page and research new spy training in the RESEARCH page.


Covert Mission => Reconaissance Mission
Use this mission if you can see the army size and the amount of kuwal a player has.
If you see many question marks (?????), most likely your mission will fail and you will loose 75% of all of your spies.
If you don't see any question marks your mission will always succeed and you will see some information about the target (some info may be hidden with ?????).
You can repeat the mission to find out more information about your target.

Covert Mission => Sabotage Mission
Use this mission if you want to destroy some of enemies attack or defense weapons.
If you succeed, you will destroy roughly 5% of enemy weapons and loose 5% of the spies you have sent
If you fail, you will loose 75% of the spies you have sent.
You will succeed if the covert action of the spies you have sent is stronger than the covert action of the enemy.
If you send all your spies, your covert action in this mission will be as high as you can see in your BASE page.
If you send 10% of all your spies, it will be 10% of your total covert action
You should always first use reconaissance mission before sabotaging an enemy to find out how strong enemy covert is,
and how many weapons you can destroy with each attack.

Example: If enemy has 2.300.000 covert action and you have 30.000.000 covert action (you have 15.000 spies).
You will succeed if you send 1.500 spies, since your covert action will be 3.000.000, more than the covert action of the enemy

ASSSASSINS AND ASSASSIN ACTION
Assassins protect you from enemy assassins, who want to kill you attack units, defense units, spies or assassins.
To increase assassin action you have to train assassins in TRAINING page and research new assassin training in the RESEARCH page.

Assassin Mission => Target Offense
Use this mission if you want to kill enemy military units (attack units, defense units, spies or assassins).
If you succeed, you will destroy roughly 5% of enemy unit type you have chosen and loose 5% of the assassins you have sent
If you fail, you will loose 75% of the assassins you have sent.
You will succeed if the assassin action of the spies you have sent is stronger than the assassin action of the enemy.
If you send all your assassins, your assassin action in this mission will be as high as you can see in your BASE page.
If you send 10% of all your assassins, it will be 10% of your total assassin action
You should always first use covert mission => reconaissance mission before sabotaging an enemy to find out how strong enemy assassination power is,
and how many units you can kill with each attack.

Assassin Mission => Target Defense
Works same way like Target Offense but kills defense units

Assassin Mission => Target Covert
Works same way like Target Offense but kills spies

Assassin Mission => Target Assassins
Works same way like Target Offense but kills assassins

COMMANDERS AND OFFICERS
When you start the game you have no officers and no commanders and produce 110% of your unit production.
You can make a player your commander to increase your income
You can let other players make you their commander to increase your unit production

If you join a player by making him your commander, you will produce 120% unit production AND automatically sell 20% of your unit production to your commander
at the price your commander has chosen. If the commander pays a fair price, both officer and commander benefit from this cooperation.

If a player joins you by making you his commander, you will receive 20% of his unit production and pay him for that.

Commander offers can be seen on the BULLETIN BOARD

The following page shows you how much you earn from your commander and how much you pay to your officers
http://www.aderanwars.com/incomedetails.php

ACHIEVEMENTS
You can receive over 30 medals and awards for various deeds or achievements. There are 4 levels: Iron medal, bronze medal, silver medal and gold medal.

Try to receive as many medals as possible, preferrably gold medals.

If you receive a supreme award, you will get bonus points which you can distribute to boost your stats.

You can see the colorful sidebar on the left hand side and below it, the white infobar.
The infobar shows DATE, RANK, ATTACK TURNS, SUPPLY TURNS, COVERT TURNS, KUWAL, BANK, NEXT TURN, INBOX

DATE: Server time / Gametime
RANK: If you reach rank 1, you dominate the game! You can reach it by having the highest attack, defense, covert and assassin power.
ATTACK TURNS: You need them for farming and massing, you gain them with each turn and you can buy them from others after you purchase SS.
SUPPLY TURNS: They are needed especially for massing, you gain them with each turn, they cannot be bought nor sold.
COVERT TURNS: Like Attack turns, but used for covert activities and assassination missions.
KUWAL: The amount of Kuwal currency on hand. It can be used to train units, research tech and purchase weapons.
It can be stolen by others if you don't deposit it into the bank.
BANK: To deposit Kuwal you have to click on the bank, select the amount you want to deposit or withdraw and confirm. Money in the bank cannot be stolen by others,
but cannot be used until it is withdrawn.
NEXT TURN: Shows how much time is left till everyone receives their income and turns.
INBOX: Private Messages (PM) you have received from others.


BUILDING YOUR ECONOMY
The most important factors in an aderanwars economy are Unit Production (UP) and Income

-1- UNIT PRODUCTION
The most important way of increasing your population is by researching higher unit production.

(1) To increase your unit production you have to click at RESEARCH.
(2) Now you have to click at the Kuwal value next to "Upgrade" in the "Upgrade unit Production" section.
(you can type in 100 to repeat the research 100 times, or any other value)
(3) If you had enough Kw in the open, it will be deducted from you and your unit production will grow.
If you didn't have enough money, you have to click on BANK in the infobar and take out the requested amount
and then upgrade your uu production.
(4) If you click on BASE you can look at your current uu production rate. It will say something like:
Unit Production Raw 300 (Total 330) per Day
It means that you will gain 330 untrained units per day.

You can also increase your population manually by voting in the VOTE page. By voting you support Aderan Wars and help more people find our game.
As a sign of gratitude you will receive untrained units each time you vote on each page in the Voting section once per day.

You can also accept players to join you as officers. You will give them a pay you set and they will give produce a 20% boost of untrained units for you.

-2- INCOME
To increase your income you have to train farmers, workers or miners, by training untrained units. They will produce income every turn.
(you can increase the growth of your untrained units by researching unit production)
It is Recommended to train farmers as long as you have untrained units. Each farmer costs 5000 Kuwal to be trained.
(If you train workers or miners, your income will grow faster, but if you make an e)

(1) Check if you have at least 5000 Kuwal by looking at the infobar and adding "KUWAL" value with "BANK" value.
If you have enough money in the bank, click on the bank and withdraw as much as you need so that you have 5000 Kuwal in the open.

(2) Click on TRAINING in the yellow sidebar, scroll down to the place it mentions "FARMERS 5000 Kuwal", change the value from 0 to 1 and click on TRAIN
Now 5000 Kuwal will be deducted from your Kuwal in the open and one untrained unit will become a farmer.

ADVICE: You should not forget to train all untrained units into farmers, workers or miners to maximise your income and protect yourself from raids.

One Farmer produces 50 Kuwal per turn, so 50x48=2400 Kuwal per day
Untrained units produce only 20 per turn (960 Kw per day)

DEFENDING YOURSELF FROM ENEMIES
As you produce income it will stay "in the open". The more will be in the open,
the more attractive it will become for other people to steal it from you.
There are 4 basic strategies how to prevent others from stealing Kuwal from you

-1- Deposit your income frequently
When someone attacks you to steal Kuwal, that person will loose Attack turns. Since each person has only slowly recharching Attack turns,
they will only hit the people with the highest amount of Kuwal that have a smaller defense than their attack.
If you bank often, they won't attack you for Kuwal

-2- Build up your defenses
To prevent others from hitting you for Kuwal, you should build defenses. In the beginning you will have 20 soldiers.
10 for defense and 10 for attack. Currently they are unarmed and are of no use. Don't untrain them though, because that costs money!
To make them efficient fighters you have to arm them. Before you arm your soldiers for the first time, you will have to research new weapons:
(1) Click on RESEARCH in the sidebar
(2) Click on Research weapon technologies. If you had enough kuwal in the open, you will gain access to a new weapon.


This is how you will build up your defense:
(1) Click on ARMORY in the sidebar
(2) Type in how many weapons you want to buy (Each knife costs 1000)
(3) Select "Defense Weapons" to buy weapons for your defenders
(4) Click at "Process Order"

-3- COVERT ACTION AND SPIES
TRAIN SPIES to protect you from enemy spies and increase your covert and hide data about you from others and
If your covert is a multiple of the covert of an enemy, he/she will not be able to see how much Kw you have in the open.
This will prevent other people from hitting you, if they don't want to risk attacking someone with higher defense or with no Kw.
(1) Click at TRAINING
(2) Select amount of Spies (don't bother about the 45.000 cost. You don't need to pay that in the beginning)
(3) Select "Train for Free!"
(4) click at "Start Training"

-4- ASSASSIN ACTION AND ASSASSINS
TRAIN ASSASSINS to protect you from enemy assassins and increase your assassin action.

-5- JOIN OR CREATE AN ALLIANCE
Members of powerful alliances don't need to fear others as much as those who are all alone.
As a member of a ranked alliance, others will consider first if stealing your Kuwal is worth risking getting into trouble with your alliance.
Alliances are a great way for players to boost their strength and reputation and rise through ranks.
If your alliance prospers, you will most likely prosper too.

(1) To join an alliance you have been invited to, click at BASE and then scroll down to the "Pending Alliance Requests" section.
You can "JOIN" or "REJECT".

If the alliance you want to join isn't in the pendin alliance requests, you have to:
(1) Click at ALLIANCE
(2) Click at "See list of current alliances"
(3) Write the alliance name in the box and confirm to request to join that alliance
(4) Wait until your offer is confirmed or rejected by the alliance leader.



REPAIRING YOUR WEAPONS

If others have attacked you (usually they attack when you sleep, evil vultures!), your weapons might be damaged.
(1) Check if they are damaged by clicking at ARMORY.
(2) Take out the money you need from the bank
(3) Select how many point you want to repair
(4) Click on the "XXX Kuwal per point" button

ADVICE: You should try to always have all of your weapons repaired.
Damaged weapons are less effective in combat and once all points are lost, the weapons will be destroyed.
People who are pissed at you might try to destroy your weapons by initiating a massing attack.
Fortunately in this game massing other players costs a lot of supply turns and repairs are expensive.
If you are new to this game, you should try to prevent other people from getting mad at you.

They will usually get mad if you insult them or steal their Kw too often.


STEALING KUWAL FROM OTHERS

To steal Kw from others, you should first train some spies until you have enough to see how much Kuwal in the open people have.

(1) Click at TRAINING
(2) Select amount of Spies
(3) click at "Start Training"

If you click ATTACK you can see 30 aderanwars users, you can click yourself through the pages and find all active members here.
If your covert is high enough, you can see how much Kuwal they have. Go over the pages to lower ranks.
They will have less spies and you will see how much kuwal they have. This is how you can get to their Kuwal:

EASY WAY:
(1) Click on the player who has enough kuwal in the open (the more the better)
(2) Look at "Defense level:"
(3) If it says: "Defense level: Low" select "Strike mission"
(4) Click "attack!" beside the Attack mission.
(5) Repair your weapons in the ARMORY
(6) Spend or deposit your kuwal.

ADVANCED WAY:
(1) Click at the user who has enough Kuwal in the open (the more the better)
(2) Click at COVERT MISSION
(3) Click at "Send all spies" button in the "Reconaissance Mission" section
(4) You will see enemy stats and you can check if their defense is smaller than your strike
(5) If enemy defense is larger than your attack, you should either find a different target, or increase your strike.
(6) You can buy more attack weapons in the Armory, repair your weapons after each attack.
(7) If you have more weapons than attacking soldiers, you should train more soldiers or sell surplus weapons
( Once your strike is higher than the defense of the enemy, you can click at "STRIKE MISSION".
(9) Click at "Attack!" in the Attack Mission section to steal his/her Kuwal.
(10) Repair your weapons in the ARMORY
(11) Spend or deposit your kuwal.

(If you click at Raid mission, you will steal 2.5%-3.5% of his untrained units if he has more than 30 of them.
You must first build Reprogramming facility, if you want to steal other people's untrained units.)

ADVICE: Deposit Kuwal in the open as soon as possible, otherwise someone might see it and steal it from you!

OFFICERS AND COMMANDERS

If you want to increase your unit production, on the BASE page you can make a setting that you accept officers
and decide how much you will pay them per untrained unit (uu). Commanders pay anywhere between 50.000 and 150.000 kuwal per uu. Usually 100.000
The more you offer, the more likely a player will join you as their officer.
You can also place an offer on the BULLETIN BOARD, to attract attention of players to join you.

At the same time you can be the officer of a commander. Click on BULLETIN BOARD and choose which player you would like to join.
Click "MAKE THIS USER MY COMMANDER" to join them.
