Another easy offer on Swagbucks. Last week, Adgate was doing a 2x points special, and they had Warpath up for 1,920 SB. I had been eyeing this game on Revenue Universe and Swagbucks but those two both had low values.
Introduction
The game only recently came out, so there really weren’t any guides available. Thankfully, the learning curve was low. The offer requires you to reach Base Level 17 within 21 days.
I finished the offer in 5 days. I bought the starter offer for a dollar, which gives you an extra hero. There is a second offer for an extra hero, which goes up in price and value the higher your level. It was 0.99, then 4.99, and 19.99 eventually.
Your base buildings cannot exceed your player level. And you earn the player experience points exclusively from leveling up your buildings. So, to build the level 17 base you need to construct and level up all of the various facilities, except for maybe the airfield.
Overview
The game uses 3 resources: Cash, Steel, and Oil which can be harvested on the map. Unlike other games of the genre, you don’t have a city view separate from the map. Your base is managed directly from the world map.
Beyond the 3 main resources, you also have Construction materials like Wood Planks, Bricks, Cement, I-beams, and Concrete. These materials are used in conjunction with the resources to build out your base. You’ll spend most of your time in Gold Rushing Production to move things along.
Since the game is new, I received many player surveys, rewarding me with Gold for suggesting improvements to the game. I spent the bulk of my Gold buying VIP points to improve my economy. Most important was acquiring Energy replenishment items and speeding up the natural regeneration timers.
Tips
When defeating enemies (PvE), they drop building materials, but you need 10 Energy to pick up stuff; 30 Energy if it is a Bunker drop. Without Energy items, you are stuck picking up 10 items a day.
A big source of extra Gold is Plunder, which you will find spread across the world map. When you send out your Scout planes they will notify you of any Warehouses, Boats, or Crashed Planes which contain items you can retrieve without spending Energy. You will often receive Maps that can reveal large blocks of the map and further items and Plunder.
Strategy
You start with a single troop of soldiers and can expand your base to include 5 companies. You get an assortment of Infantry, Tanks, and Artillery units. Duplicate units can be combined (Assembly) at the Research Station to get upgraded units. You can also break down (Disassemble) Items you don’t want at the Production Facility.
Artillery takes out either Tanks, Towns, or Infantry, depending on specialty. You can change the Parts on the unit to alter what it is good at fighting. The same is true of the other units like, Tanks and Infantry. One of the Heroes you get early in the game has Grenades, which really make a difference against Tanks. Coupling her with the Field Medic hero makes for a strong company. Infantry can enter a defensive mode (Activate Bunker), which improves Durability, adds healing, and makes them really tough to kill.
There are 4 Tank types: Light, Medium, Heavy, and Super Heavy. I also saw the NPC enemies had “Tank Killers,” but I didn’t see those available except for Unit Parts, which altered the Damage Focus to Tanks.
Miscellaneous
The hero screen said Coming Soon on the Air Hero page, so you may see Aircraft combat at some point. Probably not important if you’re just doing the offer.
Completing base upgrades is instantaneous, so I don’t think joining an Alliance is really necessary. Certainly, in many other games, it makes a world of difference. Alliances in Warpath are entirely combat-centric. You can build a base and capture territory using Turrets located in Villages. The team works towards capturing and holding various Raven (NPC) bases, Train Stations, and Supply Posts. Each building type gives a Combat bonus to the holding team.
The first alliance I joined was destroyed by another alliance overnight. I logged in and everything was gone and I was prompted to relocate my base. In the second alliance, the leader stopped playing without setting any Officers, and there was no way of Usurping command. A common feature in casual smartphone games.
My third Alliance worked out, and we wiped out two other alliances and killed a mountain of independent players. You don’t lose any resources when your base is destroyed. But all Timers are stopped, so no resource collection, materials production, or research.
Completing the Daily Missions will get you tickets to redeem for extra units using the Chests option. I’d suggest saving up 10 tickets before using them. You can also get new units from the Airdrop function at your Base, in addition to the resources.
Final Word
I think this offer, with its current terms, could be finished in 3-4 days. That’s as long as they don’t alter the building material or resource requirements.
