Summary

Invasions

  • Every so often, there is a chance that a new opponent will appear on your Archipelago.
  • This chance is affected by the number of bases that you already have on your map.

  • Mercenary Bases: These bases are other players' home bases, so unlike Blackguard Bases, they have restrictions on what kind and how many Defensive Buildings they can have. The loot available varies by how many Resources the player's vault did not protect at the time you scouted their base.
  • Blackguard Bases: These bases are computer generated. They generally have fewer Buildings than a Mercenary base. You can read more about Blackguard Bases by clicking here.
  • Resource Bases: These bases can be taken over from other players by destroying the base's Outpost (similar to the Headquarters). When they are under your control, they deliver Resources to your island on Resource Boats. You can read more about Resource Bases by clicking here.
  • Boss Bases: These bases can be found in specific locations on your map. Here, you destroy bases belonging to members of the Blackguard for lucrative rewards. These bases never respawn once you defeat them. You can read more about Boss Bases by clicking here.
  • Event Bases: Every day there is a special event to play. Learn more here.
  • Tribe Islands: Once you have unlocked a Tribe by fully exploring the region that they cover, they will be ready to help you. On these islands, you can interact with a tribe to upgrade it or utilize its boost. You can read more about Tribes by clicking here.

Other Points of Interest

Chest
  • Chests: Small golden chests will sometimes appear when you explore a new section of the Archipelago. They have been known to contain from 1 to 30 diamonds and a Victory Point. These chests reappear every so often around your Archipelago, but these new ones will not contain a Victory Point.
Dive Location
  • Submarine Dive Points: These are locations where you can send your Submarine to dive for treasure. They look like yellow buoys with a red flag. You can read more about dive points here.

Activity Log

  • When the map is open, a button at the top left corner with three lines will be there. When tapped, the Activity Log appears which you can use to view your Attacks or enemy activity.
  • Activity Log Entries include:
    • Village activity (when you lose a village, either to an NPC or another player)
    • Home Base activity (when you defend your base, or it is successfully raided)
    • Resource Base activity (when you defend one, or one is taken over)
    • Daily Report (showing how many times you have been scouted, attacked, and raided within a 24-hour period)
    • Dive Location Spawns (when a new Dive Location appears)
    • Dr. T activity (when he appears on either his Tropical or Volcano base)
    • Lt. Hammerman activity (when either his fleet appears or his Imitation Game appears)
    • Colonel Gearheart activity (when her War Factory appears)
ActivityLog
  • Tapping on an entry in the log will take you to the corresponding location.
    • For example, tapping on 'Resource base defended' will take you to the Resource Base that was defended.
  • Each entry has an arrow pointing to the map. A white arrow means you can interact with that island.
    • A "Village lost" slot with a white arrow means you can attack that base. Once you conquer that island, the arrow on the Activity Log will not be white anymore.
    • A white arrow next to a "Home Base Raided" or "Home Base Defended" entry, as well as an image of a diamond, means that you have a reward to claim from it.
  • Tapping on entries relating to Home Base or Resource Base defenses, whether it be by players or Lt. Hammerman, will also show information about the attack. This info comprises of:
    • Name, Experience level and Victory Point count of the attacker (in the case of Lt. Hammerman, the latter will not be shown).
    • Resources lost (in the case that you fail to defend your home base or resource base against another player) or gained (in the case of a successful defense against Lt. Hammerman)
    • Troops deployed and destroyed:
      • The number of troops deployed is shown next to a red flag denoting the number of that type of troop deployed.
      • The number of troops destroyed is shown next to a skull denoting the number of that type of troop destroyed in the attack.
      • If no troops are deployed, a message will simply say "No troops deployed."
    • The offensive Statue boosts of the attacker at the time of the attack. From left to right, the icons represent Troop Damage boost, Troop Health boost and Gunboat Energy boost.
      • These Statue boosts will not appear if no troops were deployed in the attack.
    • In the case that the home base was attacked by another player, the amount of Diamonds and Intel received, if applicable.
      • If the defenses did not destroy enough enemy troops, the message "Destroy more enemy troops to receive Diamonds and Intel" will appear instead.
  • Tapping on the Daily Report will show you further details on the daily report. These further details tell you exactly how many players performed a particular action on your base for that day.

The My Attacks Sidebar
  • By clicking on the arrow on the top-left, you will be shown the Logs available for you to see: one is the Activity Log (see above) and the other is the My Attacks Log.
  • The My Attacks Log show your most recent attacks.
  • My Attacks Entries include:
  • Similar to the Activity Log, tapping on an entry in the log will take you to the corresponding location.
    • For example, tapping on 'Destroyed Dr. T stage 6' will take you to the location of Dr. T at the time of the attack.
  • You will also be shown information about the attack:
    • Troops Deployed
    • Troops Lost
    • Rewards (if the attack yielded any)
    • Your offensive Statue boosts at the time
      • Note that the Statue boosts will not appear if no troops were deployed in the attack.
