Switching devices/apps w/o syncing can fuck you (lost daily and clan).
You can join a battle and then also join the clan war, the battle will keep going in the background.
A new clan request replaces the old one.
Free caches are very random but are based on rate.
If you know your request is filled, sync to get your armies, faster.
Multi-level kind of sucks, can only get Clan requests on one map. Can only use active artifacts on one map.
aaq is default used in battles, no use upgrading aq.
You can get a higher Clan request by clicking a few times, the max is about 1.93 hours of current rate, so good time to use supercharge army camp.

Most of the time, the battle ends before CW game starts, anyway. And you still have at least 3min boot time

If this thread wasn't titled "tips and tricks", my first guess would have been that this is a rant. Because most of your points can easily be read as complaints about "bugs" in idle (although different parties might have different oppinions on whether these are bugs or not, but mostly I would say these are bugs). ;)

Sorry if it came off negative, I just like knowing how the game works. I guess a lot of the time I take note it was something to be carfull of.

Hey, everything's fine. In fact there are some things on your list that I include in some of my posts as well if applicable (mostly the sync-related stuff). Because the game is certainly "special" in some regard(s).

Don't use auto conquer unless you have an excessive amount of armies to complete the whole map

I set it up so every territory gets effected by JS and then activate AQ

I've wondered whether it's worth not leveling up auto conquer because I want it to take the cheap territories that I just don't feel like tapping automatically.

Well I play alot of battles so I need 50%AQ

That's a good point, it is good at high level for taking territories as you go but maybe not so good for taking territories when you get the 10x inspire mercenaries

espacially then because you have like 1t armies to spare

Auto conquer is great when you have 2x the number of armies as your min hospital saved: just let it get rid of all the territories you skipped on the way to the markets and hospitals.

I didn't know AAQ was what was used in WZIB. I accidentally clicked on AAQ and basically stopped playing idle so much as it's just terrible (and can't do WZIB)

I think Cryptic meant 20x. And they are right Auto-Conquer is a terrible feture most of the time, but a great click saver. Just never advance it past 5%, until you are ready to super ascend and looking for a Battle win (and AAQ is better now fo rthat anyway).

Sitting at 5% it is reasonably easy to manipulate it as a click engine to take territories that hospitals have made 'free'.

No, I meant 2x. If you snake through to get markets and hospitals and have min hospital saved as 1B, then you set up 2B armies with 50% auto conquer and it will take a lot of territories.. it will go up and down with army cache, but it's much better than clicking. Have market vis of 7 and save the maps from browser as a pdf or screenshot when you're done as the hospital locations don't change or even from normal to hard (I think copper creed hard is missing one hospital that normal has). I really only cared about WZIB, so max auto conquer, max army upgrade, etc

Clan requests don't show in total armies earned. This makes it so sometimes I have more armies than it shows I have total earned.

Clan requests don't add to the draft pool.
