"Rome wasn't built in a day"

This page will document my second attempt to play Funzio's Modern War.
While my first stab at the game is decent: 90% Win percentage and 98.5% success rate in Raids,

I have the urge to play it again; more conservative and calculated this time.
Like the first, this would be a gold-less quest for world domination.

Taking it slow would allow me to build and upgrade my buildings at the early stages so I can defend my base from rivals who buys mercenaries that are valued in gold.

"A handful of aircraft and tanks does not make a Luftwaffe and Panzer Division"

I'm currently on my third day, Level 5.
In my opinion, Levels 4 and 5 are the best STAGING AREA prior to launching a blitzkrieg.
Current Levels of Buildings:
Armory: 4
Command Center: 3
Storage Silo: 3
Barracks: 2
Guard Tower: 2
Oil Derrick: 2
Storage Silo: 2
War Factory: 2
Wind Farm: 2
Supply Depot: 1

I have not built Munitions Stockpile yet.
I feel my current defense is still low for Munitions Stockpile raiders.
My priorities are to fortify my defense and to construct 'attack free' buildings such as Air Field and Shipyard.

My Experience level is rising because there are players trying to attack me and lose.
Two more attack wins will move me up to Level 6. :(

My stats tells the whole picture. I am currently not attacking so I buy units and equipment that are defensive in nature such as  Engineers, Hum-Vee, Drone Spy Plane and Sea Transport.

When you go up to the next level, you are granted 3 Skill points. I hedge them to Defense and Energy

Yes, this stage of the game is boring. There's very little thing to do except collect money and fortify defenses. Keep your sanity intact by looking ahead. You will be more successful in your attacks with a well prepared army.




Day 7:
"It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it"
- General Douglas MacArthur

With my defense up at 130, I began to build Airfield and Shipyard while simultaneously leveling up my money buildings.

There had been numerous attacks against me.
I won in all of them but that caused my experience to increase and level up to Level 6.

I increased by defense to 150 before I started building Military Market and Munitions Stockpile.
Money is starting to flow.
Below is the current state of my base.

Current Levels of Buildings:
Armory: 4
Command Center: 3
Storage Silo: 3
Barracks: 2
Guard Tower: 2
Oil Derrick: 3
Storage Silo: 3
War Factory: upgrading to 4
Wind Farm: 3
Supply Depot: 2
Military Market: 2
Munitions Stockpile: 3

Day 23:
June 20, 2012
"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass"
- Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto

The attack on my base is constant that I  earn experience points enough to move me to Level 7.
Failed attacks on my base yield some monetary incentives as well.

Current Levels of Buildings:
Airfield: 3
Armory: 4
Barracks: 6
Command Center: 5
Guard Tower: 3
Military Market: 3
Munitions Stockpile: 5
Oil Derrick: 5
