War of Mercenaries Game Guide

War of Mercenaries is a Facebook empire building game similar to Kixeye's Backyard Monsters. Players have a base that they need to develop to fight other Facebook players. The game has three basic resources including wood, iron, and stone. There's an iron smelter, stone grinder and lumber blade which you need to get your resources. There's also another resource called might which you need to produce in the game. It takes game time until these are full. Players can recruit mercenaries in the hiring quarters and then the units are stored in the barracks. The game features a map where you can attack other Facebook players.

War of Mercenaries Game Guide - Attacking

You can either attack NPCs in the game or other game players. It’s a good idea to attack the NPCs as you build up your base so you can test each one of your units. Make sure you upgrade them using the training chamber when you have free resources available to you. Attacking other bases will also show you how the towers and other defense work so you can build up your own base to meet the challenges thrown against you. Make sure you have good resource production coming in before you start attacking because you want to be able to build up quickly. It’s not worth it to attack until your making thousands of resources so build those up first as resources are critical to games such as this one.

Resources

Make sure you build a stockpile as this will allow you to hold more resources. Stone, iron, and wood are used for constructing buildings you’ll need might for your units. As you upgrade you’ll get more resource building slots so keep upgrading to unlock everything. Make sure you click on each resource building to get your resources once they are full. You can also get resources when the structure isn't full as well.

Tips

• Build resources first. Forget about military units in the early stages your first units are too weak to do anything. You need a ton of resources to do anything so get your production up.
• Fight NPCs first to get a feel for the game and then attack other players. Just remember you'll be attacked back so get your defenses up.
• use the training chamber to increase the statistics of your units.
• You may attack a few low level basses to get a fee for combat.
• Follow the quests on the left hand side as you'll get rewards for completing them.

War of Mercenaries is a new game on Facebook so there's no doubt that more content will come. This is a basic game guide to get you started. The game isn't complicated and it's fun so give it a try. Just remember to get the resource production up as soon as possible because you simply can't do anything substantial in the game without tons of resources.
