It's been a while since I've last updated this. I started getting really busy and stopped updating, after a while I just completely forgot this blog existed.<br />
<br />
Now that I'm going to start blogging again, I'm wondering if people still play this game and want more information. I'm not sure how useful my guides will be since I've stopped playing. I'm thinking I might start playing again if people are reading this blog.<br />
<br />
So let me know in the comments below! I might even do a "over the shoulder" kind of walk through on youtube or something.<br />
<br />
It's been great talking to you guys again. Hope to get some feedback soon. Thanks guys!<br />
<br />
EDIT: So I cleaned up a bunch of the spam in the comments. If your comment got deleted on accident I apologize. Feel free to comment again to see if we can answer your questions.GarHarHarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18176361829200243188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852567740886095738.post-50569238601116116072013-05-19T12:21:00.002-07:002013-05-19T12:21:27.925-07:00How to Quit Your Alliance<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Go to your embassy and there is a box that has your alliance name in it as well as your alliance's message.

I think the last update may have changed the calculations and we may need to use more troops now. Not really sure why or what the new calculations may be but I'll try my best to get them. It won't be anytime soon though so I apologize for that. I've been overwhelmed with work and school lately and it's really killing my time.<br />
<br />
Thanks everyone for visiting my blog and thanks for all the replies and contributions. You guys really help the community with all the input and content!GarHarHarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18176361829200243188noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852567740886095738.post-5591709971870966692013-02-02T20:34:00.000-08:002013-02-02T20:34:41.938-08:00News on updateThe recent update implemented "Fearless Cave". It basically adds another difficulty to the Misty Cave. In order to access it you must complete all 10 levels of Misty Cave and then you can choose to do Misty Cave.<br />
<br />
I've been working on the Misty Cave calculations. Sorry it's going so slowly guys! Unfortunately I'm limited on the number of times I can actually do the cave levels and I'm testing each cave level with each level of upgrades. The good news on that is that there will be a much more comprehensive guide because of the method I'm testing.<br />
<br />
Anyway that's it for now. Thanks for visiting guys!GarHarHarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18176361829200243188noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852567740886095738.post-42302040851158725732013-01-31T22:14:00.002-08:002013-01-31T22:14:38.343-08:00Conquering High Level Resource NodesThere's a technique floating around on how to get high level nodes while minimizing the cost of your losses. I haven't gotten to really test this out as much as I'd like to but it seems to work most of the time at least. What you need is a god that does a good skill that deals damage. Heaven's Lightning seems to work well as it deals damage to each enemy units. Next you need to use one of each troops type of any you can spare. This means one sword, spear, axe, archer, cav, lancer, and axerider. If you don't want to use the higher cost units then using only infantry can work but it takes more time. They shouldn't get killed though, they'll end up returning to your base.<br />
<br />
Basically you send army which is made of one of each troop type and send your god. Your god will do damage to the enemies in the high level node and your troops get sent back because you are by far outnumbered. If you keep attacking you'll notice that the power of the resource node starts going down slowly.<br />
<br />
What happens is that the each round has a chance for the god to appear. Sending one of each troop type allows the god more chances of appearing and dealing damage. This is because it forces the fight into more and more rounds.GarHarHarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18176361829200243188noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852567740886095738.post-9612643708677556762013-01-29T19:23:00.001-08:002013-01-29T19:28:15.826-08:00Sorry!Hey guys!

<br />
You can find 3 star gods by farming the cave. So far I think you can only get 4 star by using pearls.<br />
<br />
You can buy the god in items under the combat tab. <br />

<br />
Remember guys that when you attack Misty Cave and use the recommended power levels the strengths and weaknesses still apply. If you attack lancers and axeriders with archers you'll end up losing a bunch of archers. If you attack infantry with cavalry you'll lose a lot of cavalry. Be sure to read <a href="http://spartanwarsguide.blogspot.com/p/mystic-cave-part-2-math.html">Misty Cave Part 2: The Math</a> to get more info on it.GarHarHarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18176361829200243188noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852567740886095738.post-15044066924380497832013-01-21T16:39:00.000-08:002013-01-27T19:07:41.218-08:00ArtifactsSince I started over I decided to save my pearls and not buy the second city deed in since you can just use artifacts. I just started being able to farm the level 5 cave and just got 1 artifact from it. Of course you need 100 artifacts to be able to build a second city or win the deed in the daily chance. If not from those options you need to spend 250 pearls. It seems as though you can only get them from level 5 and up. Not sure if you can win them from players or not yet.<br />
<br />
-EDIT-<br />
<br />
I just confirmed that you can indeed earn artifacts when attacking other players. You receive artifacts in a blue package when you attack enemy cities. You can also earn artifacts in the cave.GarHarHarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18176361829200243188noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852567740886095738.post-56548501161139778752013-01-17T16:37:00.000-08:002013-01-22T12:02:29.334-08:00Misty Cave Part 4: Recommended Power<br />
<div>
All power level's are rounded up to even numbers. You may still have some losses if you don't use the units strong against the particular level, not enough happiness, or forget to use a god. Try to get your upgrades to level 10 at least.<br />

It seems that the totals end up being the same. The only change is the units in the cave, but each respective power level seems to remain in the same range. If you're looking for the recommended attack on each cave level you can just use the listed totals above and multiply that by 2. That will be the recommended power to conquer the cave level. But remember to take into account the particular cave levels units and use the unit that's strongest against the units in the cave. There's a simple tutorial about it in the "Mystic Cave Part x" in the pages section on the site.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'll be doing one more day of calculations just to be sure. Then I'll make a page on recommended attack levels.</div>

Looking at the misty cave today it seems that the sum of each individual level is around the same numbers every day. Updates on it as soon as possible.GarHarHarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18176361829200243188noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852567740886095738.post-63252326186586101252013-01-14T09:35:00.002-08:002013-01-17T16:30:08.835-08:00Misty Cave Day by Day Calculations: Day 1I've been calculating the total power levels that have been coming out of each of the Misty Cave levels in order to see if there's a pattern. I've been noticing that it seems that no matter what each level will have approximately the same amount of power day by day. So today is the first analysis for that. All I did was use the number of units times the power level of that specific unit and if applicable I summed up the two units in the cave. Here's the formula<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
(number of unit x ) x (power level of unit x ) = total power of unit x</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
and if applicable</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
((number of unit x ) x (power level of unit x )) + ((number of unit y ) x (power level of unit y )) = total power level of individual cave level</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are my findings:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Day 1</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. 21 axe = 1176 total = 1176</div>
<div>
2. 42 axe = 2352 total = 2352</div>
<div>
3. 147 spr = 4998</div>
<div>
89 axe = 4984 total = 9982</div>
<div>
4. 294 spr = 9996</div>
<div>

Rather than trying to defend myself and waste time building up troops I decided it would be better to just start fresh since I wasted pearls on pretty much useless things. By the way save your pearls for high star gods. It'll be more worth your time that way.<br />
<br />
Anyway while I was trying to farm the cave I realized that the math from the Mystic Cave Part 2: The Math was slightly off. When I was taught that math it hadn't accounted for the fact that you didn't have any upgrades to your soldiers. The math does start to work better at later games but early game is when you really feel tight on money. So I think you should multiply by 2.5 instead of 2 for the power of the needed attackers and that's what you should be using to attack so you don't lose any troops to be sure. At least during early game.<br />

<br />
It seems as though its possible to obtain higher star Gods from higher levels in mystic cave. These gods are exponentially better than single star gods and provide very large boosts to your army as well as economy. However you will need to be able to clear mystic cave level 7 for a 2 star god and level 9 for a 3 star. The only way to obtain a 4 star god is by using pearls. Because of this I recommend using your pearls on getting the 4 star god. You can always find the second deed in a chest and it seems you can obtain a second city with artifacts that you get from Misty Cave. More on this when I find out though.GarHarHarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18176361829200243188noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852567740886095738.post-45322046253906579672013-01-06T18:55:00.005-08:002013-01-06T18:56:40.510-08:00Providing Coordinates<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">The game doesn't really provide an integrated way to see where you're getting farmed from but there is a way. After you get attacked check your battle report and tap on the revenge button. From there you'll be prompted to select how many troops you want to use. You can use however many you want, but if you just want to see the coordinates just send 1 swordsman. Your march queue will show where you are attacking to. That way you only lose one swordsman.</span><br />

The amount of faith you get is determined on the power level of the city you attack. The less the power level the less faith you get. If you are farming for faith you should be attacking cities with at least 30k power. You can attack cities with less but the amount of faith you receive really diminishes. It's really inefficient to farm a city that gives you 1 faith every attack when you can simply attack a city that will give you 10,000. When I farm for faith I try to go with cities over 200k power that aren't in alliances.<br />
<br />
You only really need as much faith as you have for gods, but it's nice to try to get some for your alliance's Zues statue as well.GarHarHarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18176361829200243188noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852567740886095738.post-17893313623592647332013-01-02T23:38:00.003-08:002013-01-03T21:31:24.973-08:00Upcoming posts!First of all thanks Melcockles for commenting and having great questions to ask!<br />

I'll quote the question in this post so I can give a proper answer on how the attack sequence works. It's really confusing to watch the replay on attacks and sometimes end up with more questions than answers. Here's the question from a comment posted previously</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"when you send mixed units, how do they actually fight? For example, if there is only axemen you're fighting, if you send all 3 infantry and archers, do they all participate, or just the most powerful one (i.e. the one in the front)? I've noticed only the one in front losses units, which makes me wonder if the others even participate. Alternitively, if you sent spearmen and swordsmen against axemen, but the spearmen were first, would you not even get the bonus from the swordsmen?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Asked by Melcockles</div>
<br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">The answer is no the other troops won't make a difference at all. Only the first troop you send will actually make an attack on the axemen.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">When you send mixed units the first one to attack is your strongest troop, followed by the second, followed by the third and so on. The troops keep attacking until completely defeated.</span><br />
<br />
Let's use the above question as the first example<br />
<br />
The enemy troop has only axemen<br />
You attack with spearmen first because they have the highest power, followed by swordsmen, axemen and archers.<br />
<br />
Round 1 Your spearmen make the first strike, the enemy axemen take damage but survive<br />
Enemy Axemen retaliate and take out some spearmen<br />
Round 2 Your spearmen strike again and finish off the remaining axemen<br />
<br />
In this case because spearmen are weak against axemen you suffered losses.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">Your other troops won't do anything. Attacking with them would be pointless unless all of your spearmen are also killed off</span><span style="text-align: justify;">. In which case Round 2 would be your swordsmen attacking instead of your spearmen, but you may have also had swordsmen losses as well. It would probably look something like this</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
</div>
Round 1 Your spearmen make the first strike, the enemy axemen take damage but survive<br />
Enemy Axemen retaliate and take out some spearmen <b>and some swordsmen</b><br />
Round 2 Your <b>swordsmen</b> strike and finish off the remaining axemen<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">But let's say your enemy has mixed troops, there will be additional rounds. For example:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The enemy's line up is swordsmen then axemen</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Your line up is axemen then spearmen then swordsmen</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Round 1 Axemen make the first strike and eliminates the swordsmen</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The round ends</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Round 2 Your Axemen attack his axemen but doesn't kill the axemen</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His Axemen retaliate and take out some of your axemen. The round ends</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Round 3 Your Axemen attack his axemen and eliminates the axemen</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The round ends</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Battle ends in slight victory</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again your swordsmen didn't do anything. In fact the spearmen didn't do anything either. The reason is that your troops stay in battle until they die. They you end up losing a certain amount of troops. You can't lose more than half the troops though. Technically you're losing the battle but the troops are retreating in time to return home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's a little complicated but you can avoid all this if you attack with only archers. Which is what I would suggest.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Special thanks to Melcockles for this!</div>

When you get a victory you get to take the resources from the city you plundered. But when you plunder you won't always get the resources you were hoping to get. Sometimes you get a little of each resource but every time you'll get at least a little gold. Why is that?<br />
<br />
The reason for this is because of storage buildings and their protection limits. When you plunder a city you can't collect any amount of resource that is lower than the city's protection limit. Let's say you scout a city and you see that the city has 100,000 gold, 50,00 food, 50,000 wood and 50,000 stone. You decide on an attack because this is a nice haul and the city has a low power level but your troops come back with 100,000 gold and nothing else. What your scouts didn't report back is that the city has 100,000 protection on each resource. If you had sent more scouts you would have seen the resource report that looks something like this.<br />
<br />
Gold 100,000 Food 50,000(100,000)<br />
Stone 50,000(100,000) Wood 50,000(100,000)<br />
<br />
The numbers in the parenthesis is the protection limit on the said resource. if the city had 110,000 of each resource you would have only received 10,000 of each resource plundered.<br />
<br />
Scouting is a helpful way to see if sending your troops out will actually be worth your time. Personally I tend to only really target other players that have 100k power minimum though.GarHarHarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18176361829200243188noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852567740886095738.post-48635211744162427342012-12-28T09:49:00.003-08:002013-01-02T15:04:38.444-08:00Update Version 1.0.2(5640)Spartan wars was just updated today.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Major change is that there is going to be a 3rd city soon so the interface was slightly changed when accessing the city button. You can now scroll to the <u style="font-weight: bold;">right</u> to scroll through your cities. This means that if you are on your second city you will need to scroll to the RIGHT in order to access your main city. I thought this probably wasn't the best option but I guess they're going for uniformity on this.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also on the city button are the teleport options.</div>
<div>
Tactical teleport allows you to choose where you will teleport to.</div>
<div>
Tactical retreat allows you to teleport anywhere randomly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It seems that players with alternate accounts are now able to move all their bases in the same place and dominate a certain area. I'm hoping this doesn't disrupt the balance of the game. I can see how it's going to affect new players and those who don't have alternate accounts. If you're thinking of making an alt account soon would be very helpful to you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another thing to note - When you're on the 'Slaves' Menu for any resource building you can now see the raw amount of resources you will be earning from the amount of slaves in the building. This number doesn't reflect any bonuses that you have. If you want to see the total amount of resources you will have to tap on the actual resource bar. Yeah it doesn't look tappable. It is. I didn't know either.</div>

I happened to post on the formula for the mystic cave but the math will also work for plundering. BUT REMEMBER that the formula doesn't factor research bonus's, crit rate and any other factors. The formula's for that would be much more intricate and very hard to accurately calculate. BUT here's the answer to "how many archers will it take to kill one swordsman?"<br />
<br />
Let's start with the basic formula<br />
<br />
(Number of Units) x (Units Power) x 2 = Total Power of your forces<br />
<br />
(Swordsman) x (Swordsman Power) x 2 = Power of Archers Needed<br />
<br />
SO lets plug in<br />
Swordsman = 1<br />
Swordsman Power = 20<br />
<br />
(1) x (20) x 2 = Power of Archers Needed<br />
40 = Power of Archers Needed<br />
<br />
Archers have 94 Power so you only need <b><u>1 Archer to kill 1 Swordsman.</u></b><br />
The thing is that it doesn't always seem to work. I don't know the math behind it but if anyone has insight on how it works PLEASE shoot me an e-mail or message me at GGk723@gmail.com<br />
