$100 or $1000/mon to be competative?

You could have easily went into war refuse!!
Also I've only spent around 60$ usd on
The game and I'm a level 19 in 11th place on a merged server. To spend 100-200 $ a month on any game is ridiculous in my opinion. But to be competitive in this game all you have to do is be active. After all thT is said, I will have a very hard time getting in top 10 without buying more coins but I won't, at least 2 banned members in top 10 so as long as I stay active it will happen. Also armies stated above are small and I'm assuming your playing in an un merged server, if you think your struggling now with 100-200$ a month spending you will really struggle after merge

was ranked msomewher in top 100 with playing for 30-60 min per day.... no coins, but expert coins, but most of them i spent to get my alliance equipment. @ legit.... í had a 500k inf army;)

without coins, i was sustaining 90k cavs, and 20k cats. i know its not as impressive as a lot of Uranos' armies, but its a lot better than 10... 20... 30.. even 40k inf.

I spent $20 on s7 over a year ago.

Since then I've gotten almost 3k coins for FREE on that server, and currently have about $100 worth sitting on that account right now, but I get my coins from referrals and pvps and comps (sadly I spent my 1k coins from thunderball on a new server, then got bored, still got like 1.3k coins on that one too :p)

But I reckon my total free coin count is at 2 $100 packages and a $50 package right now in all my servers total lol hahaha

Learn how to get free coins, and then act like a big spender (granted, it's not a TON, but with hard work and a few coins you can easily get top 50 in a merged server, top 20 in a non)

You dont need a big wallet to have a big army. If you want to be higher ranked... get a bigger army. You get pp from the building, and maybe you will spend 40 coins here and there porting your citys around targeting bigger hits on bigger opponents.

If I spent 100 dollars a month on this game I would be in the top 5, not the top 15.. I havent spent money on this game since the crash really. Was abled to build about 8 times what your army was.

Least you army wasn't that big

now, rico, from what ive heard, youve had some REAL experience with large armies. lol. did you spend coins on them>

and i mostly play for the strategy, and the chat.

Basically, the only thing keeping me on is the chat :P I dont really like the game, if it was ONEPLAYER IT WOULD SUCK MAN!!!!!! But, I dont buy coins at all... Which is why I am only level 11 with 99755 prestige :P I have met a lot of freinds.. This game is awesome!!!

I can't really give any advice at all but I have seen many people that easily hack thousands of coins whenever they so choose

Spent like $200 total and was in top 5 ranks for like 3 months straight. It isnt how much you spend but how you spend it. Plus we didn't have the whole enhancement system back then which really kills your coins
