About 3 weeks ago, I found a web blog talking about the benefits of putting certain buildings next to specific buildings for better boost. Now as I can't back it up for factual proof, I dub this post the "The Controversial Building Post" Here are some screen shots from a few mates from my alliance. The 2 above are from a fellow alliance members account. as you can see it is al stacked together in groups to easily access everything so you don't have to scroll around to much. nothing wrong about it. I'm sure we all made similar setups in the past with other builder fortress games. Below Is my personal fortress Nothing to special about pic 1 above. the only thing i will mention is that when you go into your fortress or leave the subway, the game automatically brings the camera to the top left corner of the fortress, so for military advantage I put my hospital in this corner so i can 1 tap enter the fortress and quick heal my troops. Also I put my herbs next to my hospital so it takes max 3 seconds to get new herbs to my hospital cause I also have a workstation right next to it to deliver super fast. Next frame above, Nothing special, I like to build in rows as just my prerogative. I also keep my barracks next to my training center so when I am training troops and cap out the quantity, the barracks are right next door and i can just upgrade a few to get more room for training more troops. Here starts the first controversial point. I put the power plant next to the generator cause the plant uses coal. So I did this to decrease the time to deliver coal to the plant. Next to the plant is the storage center, and next to the storage center is the research facility. only reason is the research takes Power and when I am doing research and need more power it is right next door to do a quick 3 rapid burns on the power plant and do another research. Controversial point 2.. I heard from a player in my second week from gaming that if you put the mint next to a Iron mine it will get a small production boost. I haven't found the proof for this yet but just incase I put all my mints next to my Iron mines for just in case. also it takes 5 seconds for Fernando to move RSS to the mint cause I have his workstation in the middle of all 4 iron mines. Above the iron mine where the "select the facility you want to relocate" banner is is my storage. this way NATE doesn't have to travel far from the mines to drop RSS. he has only so much load. this way his trips between mines to the storage is 8 seconds max before he unloads and goes back for more. Lastly based on all the matching buildings I have heard about. i decided to put my wheels and traps together on the bottom. before i moved them, I noticed all the gophers were hanging out at the bottom of the map when it was empty, so i moved the traps down there and they have been full 24/7 and consequently, I moved the wheels down as well thinking they will make gopher replacement faster cause they are so close. These are not proven facts, just what i remember from players in the early days of my playing the game. hope this helps you decide your bunker layout. But your account is your own, I just want to share the resource material to help your creativity come with your own ideas. happy gaming Survivors.

Time is money as they say, so lets get down to business on making 1 million Hero EXP in 5 minutes or less. First lets get our bench mark. As you can see above. we have spent all we can and are left with a measly 22,500 EXP for hero's. depending on your level, it is enough for a few or nothing at all. Personally I need 1 mill EXP per level to grow at my current level, so lets get some for free. Our go-to for this operation is going to be the NEXUS Satellite, come on lets take a look at what we have on the screen. If you are new to the game this can be confusing, but fear not, Ol' Mephisto will help you get caught up on the facts. First if you have read some of my post you will know about the hero ascending and the colors with there meaning. If not I will post again for your friends: Green Uncommon Blue Rare Purple Elite Orange Epic Red Masterwork Yellow/Gold Legendary The same applies for the intel findings. The rarer the color the bigger the zombie and bigger the prize and "Visa Versa" Next lets go into what each symbol means and what they offer. First on the list today are the Endless Zombies Legion. We call them endless cause after you kill one it will respawn immediately and can be attacked again indefinitely. They are also special as the prize you wins changes each time you attack them, But 3 Rare hero skill shards are quite common for these Zombies. Also since they keep respawning, they make leveling up the Nexus very doable, just need to grind out the kills. Next is the star of the show today. The EXP intel drops. these range on EXP per your NEXUS level and the rarity of the drop. as you can see, this one is worth 357k EXP. lets look at the others and we will come back to this later on. This las one is a reminder to check all your intel drops. Occasionally you will find a skill badge with EXP instead of a Hero Skill shard. Below will be a list of images and a brief explanation of what it is. Above Common hero skill shard drop Above Uncommon Z coin drop Above Rare Z coin drop Above Uncommon hero shard drop Again, the level of the NEXUS dictates the drops and level of quality. Aright back to the beginning, lets go get our Hero EXP. Choose your drop and click "GO" After that, you will come to this screen on what ever you choose to go after. You will see the prizes again and the choice to deploy. If you change your mind just click anywhere in the territory to close the window. Sorry for the bad Picture, But for your information, You don't use truck power for these intel drops. Some of them do, but endless zombie and these EXP do not take your trucks. After disposing of the Zombie you will be able to claim your prize back at the NEXUS. Send multiple trucks and get your EXP faster. Coming back to the Subway we can see we made over 1 million EXP in 5 min today. Good job! Keep an eye out for when the intel updates and adds more drops. Pay attention to what is offered each time to maximize your hero growth. Last but not lease... well maybe the lease LOL these guys are the workers that you can rescue to put in your fortress mines. The more you upgrade your mines the more people you can put in the mines. The more people, the more RSS you can make at home base. Hope this helps for todays tips, please message me if you have any questions or have an idea for a future post. I look forward to hearing your ideas.

Spending money to play a game sucks, I know but there are some packs that really do help you get into the game and play more comfortably. I don't know about you but have you ever played at an arcade ? im sure the answer is yes and the fact is right in front of our noses that yes, we pay to play the arcade that last for 1 to 2 minutes tops depending the game and then we would spend more and more to keep playing. This is the same principle except the money is greater and the value of the money spent goes exponentially farther then the arcade game takes us. Below are some packs that are HIGHLY recommended to buy as they are 1 time permanent boost to the game and will take you from playing the game to enjoying the game as well. The first pack is the Development fund you get offered as you turn on the game for the first time. I don't know about you but I was very excited to give my money over for this pack. Starting from lvl 2 all the way to level 20 this pack pays out far more value then you pay for in any other pack. This pack starts at 27 Euros for me it was 25 USD and other countries slightly different but from the conversion it is all about the same worldwide. So let's look into what we get for the first 25 dollar initial purchase. 1. Diamonds Lets look at the diamonds. how many diamond will we get for completing all the way to level 20. When we get to level 20 we will have acquired 16,000 diamonds. Now at any point in the game if you want ot buy diamonds the pack shop biggest pack is 4,000 diamonds for 100 USD. so for a quarter the price for 4k diamonds we can get 4 times that with this pack. 2. Faction tickets. Faction tickets are what you use to recruit hero's from a specific faction. this pack gives us plenty lets do the numbers now. With lvl 20 completed we will have gather 50 faction tickets, Mind blowing. Currently a pack of 30 faction tickets will run you 100 USD. All you need is elementary math to know that is a great deal. 3. Coupons This is new to me as I have never seen a game offer coupons to use on almost any pack available. bronze I believe is for packs 4.99 or less and you will save 2 dollars. Silver offers 10.99 saving on packs over 9.99 and gold offers 29.99 saving on packs over 29.99 (I will post a picture to clarify this 100 later on when I get another coupon) These gifts from the Devs really come in a pinch to save you wallet and boost your goring capabilities and 100 percent useful. Don't knock it till you see the saving and benefits of these wonder full gifts. 4. Pearson This under ratted hero is the most crucial of your production hero's for 2 reasons, his first 2 skills offered. A) Skill "All for one, One for all" With this skill you can put 6 workers on 1 construction. lets elaborate, if you are upgrading you fortress and it takes 4 days, with Pearson you can put 4 hero's on that at 1 time and it will get done in 1 day or 24 hours.(while not using speed ups) if you want you can put 6 hero's on the 4 day build. now it will take 6 hero's 18 hours to do a 4 day construction with out using speed ups. can you see the money growing in your pocket now ? B) Skill "Simple battering Ram" this skill directly increases your troops destruction might, if you see the destruction hero guide in the post you will find all the info need enlighten your self. 5. Next is everyone's favorite little worker, NATE. Before NATE if you wanted materials and food gathered from production you have to click on the farm or mine and select a hero to go get the RSS and take it to the store house or the kitchen. This takes your workers time and prevents them from working on upgrading. When you purchase NATE, you will never have to manually gather RSS from inside your fortress again. This is the hardest working packs you can buy as little NATE will never stop working his circuits off to make you stocked to the max. 6. Tikka is the next hero who gets an honorable mention. she is valuable but not as impressive as NATE and Pearson. She has skills that increase the food stores and another skill that affects the mood of the residents with her food. Before the first season this will be useful, about 1 month of game play. but after you get auto cooking and level up food production to 30,000 per hour it will be not as important cause you will end up with a mass surplus off food. But this can affect your first month when you are trying to gather workers for the mines and keeping people in your fortress.

Here is the Basic Info for season 1 *Many of these pics were taken from the game, Last Fortress: Underground official YouTube page. please be sure to stop by and visit their channel and help support the community. Season 1 will start with a countdown in the season events screen. You will know and have time to prepare for the gate to open Season 1. After the countdown is done, you can re-login and start your new season of the game. You will lose your alliance territory and troops stationed out side or gathering will be returned. Upon entering the new season, all players will be relocated to a whole new area. all players will be grouped together in the alliance with extra players spread out in near by territories. You will be placed out in the outermost circle on a level 1 territory. Players will be able to go straight ahead and attack their first city. After the first city is captured, you can make your way attacking blocks to move to the next city. there are 2 types of blocks. One is a land block, and the other is a city block. Above is a land block. If you want to capture a land block you will need to capture land blocks adjacent to one you have already captured. Next are cities. If you want to capture a city you will need to capture the city blocks around the city first. When you go to capture another city, you will only be able to capture cities next to the cities territory you have captures first. Meaning the lands need to be connected still. Now there are only a limited number of block you can build at first. so you will need to level up your block buildings and do research to get more blocks to expand your territory. Hubs increase the blocks you can have available. Clinics increase the immunity of your troops. Field centers increase troops ATK stats Supply base increase the troops DEF stats. To upgrade the facilities you will need red and blue ore, the new material in the game after the season begins. Before you go into a frenzy for resources, you will have to fight for them before you can mine them. Now take notice to the level of the resource mine and the defending troop power requirements to defeat it. This mine is a level 1. This mine is a level 5, not very difficult to beat even a level 5 but pay attention to the requirements as game progresses. In capturing both blocks, you will have immunity requirements from your hero gear I will talk more about that further below. Below is a quick game guide for season 1 to use as reference. Hero gear immunity explained: If you look back at the red and blue mine, you will see the immunity requirements. lvl 1 is 50 while lvl 5 is 480. Depending on the gear and level of your gear you will need to level up gear much more to take on bigger mines to move forward in the city capture. Below are a list of gear that offer immunity boost after upgrades. notice that the higher level gear, such as orange, purple , the better boost you will get from upgrading it. do not waste your tin on lower level gear that doesn't give immunity boost or you wont be able to take the higher level mines. I have already started making upgrades on some of my gear and i will make a post in the future about best hero gear for increasing immunity and taking blocks.

Please come take a look at the new in-depth alliance duel post, updated today, to streamline your progress to the "W" please enjoy and good luck with your Duels. have a good day everyone.

How do you get around a game with no ports? we have to walk or travel 1 march at a time. but his doesnt have to be the only way. lets talk about the Zombie Highway. Above we can see a nice Iron RSS that is 3:31 away. there is a faster way to get around. but it depends on zombies and 1 little feature. Take notice to the "Attack" button and directly below it is a little black box with a green check in it. Ticking this box allows your troops to stay stationed outside your city and can then move to attack another Zombie, Player, or gather RSS. If you divert your eyes to the "Deploy" button you will see the travel time is 1:02. Now if you compare the regular march to the RSS it was 3:31. you now can save 2 min of your time. After the fight is over your troops will camp out in the exact location like this. Then from your station you can go onto collecting RSS. in the end we saved a total of 2:19 from the original straight march to the Iron. Remember you don't have to use this technique for gathering RSS only. you can do many many things with this form of travel. Tip: Remember to save 1 last Zombie highway to march back home in a speedy fashion. or you may end up waiting for a while.

check out the new guide for Eden season 0. If you haven't got all cities unlocked. make sure you read and share with your alliance

Yup you hear that correct this is Eden season 0, the capture before season 1 starts and all cities will be reset. this guide will be to in for you of what is expected and what is really happening in the game and why Season 0 changes for every server. In the beginning it is easy and simple. Most likely someone in your alliance will be able to solo the first level 1 city. YOUR TROOPS WILL NOT DIE FROM ATTACKING THE LVL 1-3 CITIES. They will cost your truck 20 fuel points so make sure everyone is fully recovered if you have a small alliance. As you can see the level of hero's, tier troops, and walls are all shown. After the city is destroyed you will have to recover the city to fully capture it. only after the city is restored will you get the city buffs. In the picture you can see the capture buffs but that is not all. you get a third buff after you recover each city and you only find it after it has been fully restored. After a few weeks, depending on how fast everyone in your state is leveling up. The Oasis will open after 2 or 3 weeks. Here we will enter the lush green lands of lvl 3-5 resources, higher lvl zombies and cities that will now start killing your troops. That's right no more injured soldiers, troops will die depending on the city. Prepare your team. Also take note on the level 4 information pages. You cannot stack buffs, only the highest level will apply and the rest is wasted. But you will still get the influence points just no extra added Atk or Def boost. Congratulations on capturing your 6th city. this one is pretty tough based on your current level. but in a week or 2 you will not have problem with this level again. No its time to take Eden herself. Most likely the top 6 alliances will have found some agreement by know as how this will go or it will be a complete war for the city. there are only 6 territories around Eden so only 6 alliances will make it to Eden. This is where the battle will get interesting. When we fought Eden in server 61, there was only 5 garrison, 5 lvl 60 legendary minutemen with T6 troops. we destroyed the garrison in 1 rally and 8 trucks later the walls of 2000 were gone. In my state the whole server got together and created a super alliance and took it out together. we asked the developers about why it was so easy and they said its because we wanted you to fight over it. As a veteran State of Survival player and Game of War: Fire Age. I understand the whole battle for control, so be prepared for a possibly very easy Eden battle. So Eden is only captured when it is fully restored. The Dev's wanted 6 alliances to have a long battle for control. If you are the last truck to break the walls, your alliance wins the Eden. but most likely if your server is at war there will be 50 other truck coming at same time. so if your alliance doesn't garrison fast enough and other trucks hit the Eden, and beat your line-up. then you will lose Eden and they will have it. Until 1 alliance fills Eden up with 50 garrison and defends it until the city is fully restored, it can be captured over and over again. Also Eden is special to restore. It takes 500,000 to fully restore it. I will give another guide on how to manage troops when restoring cities. later on

Lets go over some tips to get better scoring in the alliance duels. Alliance Duels are a 6 day event usually ending on a Saturday and consists of various daily events to compete in. Each events is based around Fortress improvement . It is highly recommended to save the items you get all week long and use this for the duels. The way the game makes money is that users tend to use there items as soon as they get it so when the event comes they have to buy more. If your alliance wins you will get a prize even if you didn't make many points. Work hard and some simple planning can make your alliance a winner. Lets talk about Boost, if you direct your attention to the blue 50% and purple 100% card. these are buffs that boost your score for "1 HOUR ONLY". Note that these cards only work 1 hour and do not stack. you can only use 1 at a time. Below is the recommended time for the use of boost cards. Event 1 Gather Resources: In this event the points are added only when your trucks return home with RSS. so using a boost while gathering will waste the effects. since using a boost for the 5 minutes you are returning home for points still waste 55 remaining minutes, The use of boost in this event is not recommended. Event 2 Expand the Fortress: In this event you get points for speedups used, diamonds purchased and construction power increase. This is an event where you want to have saved up al RSS and speed ups and can wait for 15 people online to get your assists. then you can use a boost and maximize your points with assists and all your speed ups. Event 3 Research Technology: This event makes points and is about the same as day 2 whit the exception of research and not construction. same technique applied for this event as day 2. use your boost for 1 hour and use your power and coins, plus all your members assists. Event 4 Recruit Hero's: Here is another event that doesn't require assistance from members. This is the recruit event. Hopefully you saved all your faction recruitments, blue , purple, and green recruit shards, and your Solari recruit cards. Go ahead and boost and then get all the hero's you can muster. Event 5 Train Troops: This event is another solo event, hope you saved some Iron and speed ups. go ahead and boost and train all you can. points are obtained on speed-ups used, level of troops trained, and diamonds spent. Event 6 Enemy Elimination: In this event you will be randomly paired with another alliance in the server you have been competing with all week. The game will pic a random city for you to port 2 and then capture that city first. after the first city is captured you can port around and capture another city, to a max of 4 cities. After which you can sit around and attack people and cause trouble as you see fit. Most likely your leader will have some plan for you to attack and defend territories. Points are acquired from killing troops and capturing cities. (You do not need to restore city after captured, just take down the wall and the city will bubble and be complete) A separate guide for server battles will be made in the future for more information on battle and "the red cans" and how to use and make plans. Below are the research that opens right before your first alliance duel. make sure to do these up to "Bonus Rewards 1" this will allow you to have access to prizes 4, 5, and 6.

Use these hero's when gathering or farming another player account. just remember to have killed all troops first before sending a farm attack. Mario is a hidden hero with Iron gathering buff. Iron is critical in troop training and major constructions.
