First 10 Days Of Server:
This guide is for experienced players only, it requires decent game knowledge, play on past age 2 servers and a Facebook account.
I have put up the goals for each day, what order they are done in is completly up to each person. This is NOT a step by step guide, some commen sense and own thinking is needed ( We all do have a brain, use it!)
I welcome questions though!
As already stated this guide is for EXP players. It is tested and tweaked and calculated. It has worked for me, so i wish you all the luck!
The key to a good start is coming out of BP a little early, having a decent army and getting the promotions needed.
It is NOT about prestige, being in the rank 1 alliance or being the player everyone talks about. It's about being able to defend yourself in all situations even at the beginning of the server, gaining fast control over your area and later on getting into a strong, established alliance.
