Is there going to be a Help section for the army game, because there are some things I do not know what they are, ex: "Siege Technology" what is this? and how do you do the "Sabotage Mission" it confuses me. Also I haven't been getting minerals for attacking anyone anymore, is it because I am not upgraded enough or what? please help me out. Thanks in advance

"Siege Technology"
Note really sure either what it is, but it's most likely just your attacking potential (just as the Fortification Covert skill levels). Helps your offensive capacities.

"Sabotage Mission"
You can spy on your ennemies, to see what weapons/armors/tools they have and then send a(some) spi(es) to try and find the thing you want to sabotage. My first guess is that it drasticaly reduces the object's "HP" (xx/xxx) or it just destroys it, which is unlikely. I tried it a couple of times and it was useless

Unless you have extremly high covert skills and well-trained spies, you won't do it.
Also, you will only get minerals by attacking someone that has alot of minerals (100++). If you're lucky, you'll get somewhere near 1 or 3 minerals. I do believe the number of turns you use also have something to do with that.
don't play armies just quit armies and keep on spaming till you get lots of money!
Yes. Keep spamming. So I can fine the crap out of your minerals.

I beg you plzzzzz don't hurt me i'm just a kid

Hmmm, Siege Technology increases your attack power. Say you buy a weapon with power of 100. With the first siege technology it might do 125. 2 of the same weapon would do 250, etc.
Sabotage is simply destroying weapons and armor, that's it.
Last time I played armies, the amount of turns I used did not affect the damage I caused or the money I earned. This time I'll wait until I have like lots of cash then come in and destroy everyone! Har har har har... I'll just increase unit production till like 15/day, and surpass all of you!
If you do that we or you won't even able to engage battle...
Felagund: I'm already doing that.
NO one had beat my army since like 3 weeks and I got a bunch of money saved up so I think someone already beating everyone(me).
Anyways yes army is very easy to play. Someone should make a new tutorial like the one Coko made.
Maybe I'll make it in my free time...
Sabotage is very usefull.
Heres a tip:
Sabotage the dude that you are going to attack to make his defenses weaker.
Thats the purpose of sabotage.
Yea right Beer... You wouldn't even be able to kill someone that's in 150th position right now.
Just checked, you have a pathetic 129 attack potential. You aren't owning, you're turtling.
Psst... SP don't tell that to anyone...
I could kill your army if I used all the minerals I have right now...
Well you aren't.
I could beat you if I didn't use up all my money into these pathetic pets -.-
Well, I'm owning 50%.
It's all part of a strategy I made up a couple of weeks ago.
Step 1: Get 2k minerals and start heavy defense. [Complete]
Step 2: Get 2x-3xHigher Defense than everyone's attack. [Complete]
Step 3: Get #1 Rank. [Complete]
Step 4: Get Highest Spy and Sentry Rating [I'm quite near as I'm currently #18th]
Step 5: Start Pumiping out Attack Rating and no one can hurt me [Not Started]
You see it's quite simple, yet very effective.
[sarcasm]Step 6: Get enough power so that Mods/Admins can't see my stats with their power.[/sarcasm]
As Yoshi once said, SCArmies is a strategy game and therefore I have planned my strategy a long time ago.
You'll be happy to know I'm the #1 Covert Ops guy

Attack rating?? wtf...
Strike Bonus my bad.
I'm still used to the old system. But you know what I meant by Attack Rating so it dosen't matter.
Wait a second: Attack rating is D2!

No I didn't know what you meant... From what I could understand, you basicaly don't need any men, since weapons and armours does all the work.
Technology just helps you out.

Feel free to do it anytime you think so moose.
Anyways, the armies system is an external module made by someone else. All I did was make images and changed some coding. I never actually looked at the calculations that take place.
Is there any chance you will look at the calculations and like tell us how many mins you have to have for everything and stuff?
Attack the new people who join and have 300+ minerals for easy minerals. Its the easiest way to do it. Seige technogoly enhances your attacking power.
Yea, but you need somewhere near 15 men and 4 upgrades to have a signifiant difference there...
I could maybe try and take a look at it while I'm there ;P
Know if it would be too hard to see the calculations, Mike?
What the hell does the Senties do in the army system?
