Jungle Heat (iOS/Android) – How to win without spending any money

Jungle Heat is a popular new MMO strategy game for the iOS and Android platforms. It’s a freemium game, so while it is a free download, there are times when you can spend money in order to forge ahead in the game. Despite the difficulty of the game, it’s actually very possible to win without spending any money. Read on to find out how!

You start off with a whole bunch of free diamonds. It’s tempting to use them to speed along your early progress, but try to save them if you can. It only takes a few minutes to train a good batch of about 25 troops early on, and there is most always something else to do. You can spend diamonds if you want, but be careful not to spend too many early on.

If you do run out of diamonds, you can get more of them in two ways. You can immediately get more diamonds by completing the various achievements listed in the Achievements tab, which is below your experience points counter. Later on, when you have the Clan HQ, you and your clan can enter in the regular tournaments in order to compete for diamonds. First through third place will win diamonds as a prize.

Diamonds can speed up training in the barracks, but there are better ways to do it. Maximize the number of barracks in your city, and upgrade them to the point where you can train all of your troops with all of your barracks. Distribute your training evenly throughout your barracks to multiply the speed of training. Keep training troops even while you are battling in order to have troops at the ready when you finish your battles.

Double up your resource getting by raiding players for resources and earning resources from your base at the same time. Maximize the amount of markets and oil rigs that you have, as well as the oil storage and gold storage, and build more storages as soon as you can unlock them. Unlock everything with upgrades to the Command Center (which you should be doing anyways because of the Barracks boosts and the Rally Point upgrades).

Most importantly, if you upgrade your Barracks consistently, eventually you will unlock the most powerful troops in the game (the Pyros, the Black Hawks and the Iron Storm). These troops are so powerful that there is literally no strategy required. Simply load up your rally points with as many of these three troops as you can fit, then send them in and annihilate the hell out of your opponents.
