You’ll be given chances to speed up the construction of certain buildings, all free of charge, so don’t hesitate to use them when available. You can also take full advantage of being part of an alliance, having your allies speed up your city building by asking them to lend a helping hand. Just be sure to return the favor in order to stay in their good graces.
Upgrading, as any player of these types of games should know, is an integral part of these titles. And if you need help spotting something for you to upgrade, simply look for the green arrow pointing upwards. Upgrade your Tribal Hall if you somehow run out of buildings to upgrade.
Unlocking heroes in Island Raiders is quite simple. The first thing you have to do is to upgrade the tavern, then after that, you can scroll from the previous hero you had to the next one, and unlock them with your ore. Each hero has their own troops, which you can delegate to them at the Rally Point. However, keep in mind that this would cost you Recruit Points – it’s better to switch heroes or wait for the existing one to recover if you’re all out of Recruit Points.
You want your troops to be as near as possible to the heroes leading them, so that way they can benefit from the instant force multiplier. In addition, you can have your troops be as close as possible to the enemy defensive tower as another strategic move.
Pearls are the premium currency in Island Raiders, and we would advise you to use them to buy new cottages or upgrade existing ones. Upgrades reduce the time it takes for builders to finish their job.
Aside from upgrading cottages on your end, you can use super screws, which you’ll find in battle as an alternate way to level up the cottages you already have. In addition, you can buy super screws with the pearls you have.
