[Guide] War and Magic
Overview
War and Magic is a city builder game that is for the most part similar to King of Avalon, Rise of Kingdoms, etc. However, there are some additional aspects of the game that you wont find in other city builder games. There are additional items on the world map as well as a different, turn-based fighting method (which can be put on auto).
The offer I did was to reach a power level of 1 million. This guide should be useful for any power level offer though.
| Offer Name | War and Magic |
|---|---|
| Offer Wall | Available on multiple offer walls. I used RevU. |
| Device Used | I have an Android; don't know if it works on iPhones |
| Amount | $14.64 on Swagbucks on 2x RevU day. $15 on GG2U Gaming Offers wall. |
| Time Limit | 15 days |
| Time Spent | Around 10 days |
I personally completed the offer in 7 days and that was with trying to figure out the game as I went. You might be able to complete in less using this guide.
Increasing Power
The best way to increase power is by increasing troops. The higher the the troop tier, the higher the power. This should be your main priority.
Ways to Obtain Troops:
- Build and recruit at the 4 Training Facilities
- You can choose to train any troop type from any facility, but it is cheapest to train the specialized troop type from each facility (ex. guards from barracks)
- Build and recruit at the Void Gate
- Upgrade troops at the Rally Point
- If troops are assigned to a hero, they wont show up as available for upgrading. If no troops show as available, go to your heroes and dismiss lower level troops. They should then show up in the upgrade tab.
- Get captives from monsters (see dailies section)
- Hire mercenaries from tents (see dailies section)
- Get donations from alliance members
- In the alliance menu, you can request troops from your alliance via the Help button. I don't like doing this, mostly because I hate asking alliance members for help that takes away from their resources since I'm only in it for the short game. Although you could always donate troops back once you've completed the offer.
- Quests and events
- Sometimes troops wind up in your inventory bag. In generally I would recommend periodically checking your bag anyways.
What Buildings to Upgrade
- The tier of your troops increases as your training facility level increases. You can reach tier 3 by getting your buildings to level 10. Upgrade your City Hall to level 10 so that you can upgrade your training facilities to this level. I would not spend resources on upgrading your City Hall any father.
- I do not currently have information on the buildings required to get your City Hall to level 10, sorry. If I can get my husband to play this game, I will make sure he jots it down.
- Besides the training facilities, upgrade your military tents, sawmills, and farms. Make sure you have 4 of each of these types of buildings.
- The military tents will allow you to train more troops at a time, which is helpful for overnight or other times you need to be away from your phone.
- Resources felt a bit tight, so definitely get the farm and sawmill up to atleast level 8
- This plan will leave you with enough space for only 3 hospitals. This could be a problem if you think you might be attacked. I would re-evaluate this once you get into an alliance. If your alliance is weak and you fear you'll be attacked, I'd level up the hospitals enough to where you're more comfortable. Also keep in mind that alliance hoping to get into a stronger alliance is perfectly acceptable as well.
- Upgrade the Tulip Pub to level 8 to buy a 2nd hero
- You will need 200 soul stones to purchase your 2nd hero so make sure to save up on those. Your 2nd hero will be a big help for resource collection.
- Build Farm and Sawmill territories outside your kingdom on the map.
- If in an alliance, grouping territories together around a watermill could be helpful.
- Eventually you'll be able to build 4 basic territories, meaning you can choose how many sawmills vs. farms you'd like. I had more trouble getting food for a long run in the middle so I built 3 farms and 1 sawmill.
- If in an alliance, you can also upgrade your Embassy to increase the effectiveness of Helps as well as increase your reinforcement capacity incase you are attacked.
- There is a different guide on this game that says you need to upgrade your Hall of War. That is not true. The power level specified by the Hall of War is how much power you can rally, not your own max power. You do not need to worry about upgrading this building.
Research and Book of Magic
- Start out researching Governance > Rammed Earth for an increase in construction time
- Once construction time has been increased, focus on the Resource Science branch as you will need a lot of resources.
- You can also consider these for research:
- Governance > Scholars for increased research speed
- Governance > Wagons for increased troop load which is good for resource collecting
- At the end of my game play I did some Military branch research to see if that increased my overall power. Researching some of four lowest level skills in that branch with the help of speedups did not increase my overall power level. It did help me fight higher level monsters though, so it might still be worth doing.
- Don't neglect the Book of Magic! Learning these "spells" don't cost resources or time, so they are a good bonus. Go to Book of Magic > Learn. I would recommend the Wind Magic (first tab) page. The Harvest spell will provide X hours worth of resources when triggered, although the cool down is usually pretty high, like 18 hours or something. Its worth it though.
Heroes
- Level up your heroes by using XP, fighting monsters, and visiting the Rock of Ages (see dailies section)
- Make equipment for your heroes to earn buffs and to star them up (ie. promote).
- Equipment only costs Iron Bars and time. It doesn't take away from resources needed for training troops, so its definitely worth it.
- As your hero levels up, you can also level up their specialties
- When organizing your troops, I found that the "Autofill" doesn't always do the best. If all 5 slots are already assigned, it seems to just fill with any newly recruited or newly healed units of that same type and level. It wont switch them out for higher power troops even if available. Periodically I would dismiss all the troops assigned to a hero (select their circle below the hero and then dismiss), and then select Autofill again. I would see my hero's team's power level and load capacity jump every once in a while by using this method.
Dailies
There are a bunch of special items and buildings both on the world map and in your city that you should take advantage of every day!
- Visit 10 treasure chests for free items.
- I chose resources >> reputation >> material.
- Once you have a 2nd hero: Visit 10 mercenary camps to purchase more troops.
- The soul stones you use at the mercenary camps are also needed for purchasing heroes, so don't use them on mercenaries until you have your 2nd hero.
- Visit Rock of Ages 5 times a day to help level up heroes and beasts
- City Hall must be level 3 to visit
- Visit Totem of Fortune before going on a monster killing spree
- The totem will increase your chances of getting troops from a monster battle. The amount of increase depends on if you spend resources or gold to get the increase. The buff is a timed buff and I have always felt its been worth paying for it.
- Able to visit twice a day, so time it out for when you can go on a real spree
- City Hall must be level 6
- Visit Ancient Temple to heal troops before returning to your city
- According to the in-game guide, the temple will heal your troops for a decreased amount of resources. They will also be healed instantly so you can continue your monster hunting spree. I have read on a fandom wiki that that the cost is actually a higher number of resources, which makes more sense, so maybe the in-game guide is wrong.
- There is no City Hall level requirement or limit on number of visits.
- While on your monster hunting spree, you can visit the Fountain of Vigor to gain 15 stamina points
- Can visit 5 times per day once your City Hall reaches level 4
- Floating ship near watchtower will give free rewards throughout the day. Make sure to collect the current reward to start the timer for the next reward.
- Go to Market > Treasure for free items
- You get to open the Silver Chest for free 12 times each day, but you need to wait 5 minutes between each open
- You get to open Secret Treasure for free less frequently, I think the timer is 2 days
- Go to Alter > Wish for free items
- Go to Tulip Pub > Adventure for free items
- You need to "start" an adventure, which will then take about 18 minutes to run (passively, you can navigate away). Once completed you can collect rewards and start a new adventure.
- There are 6 adventure opportunities to complete. The adventures repopulate every couple hours (I think this is every 6 hours)
- Once Beast Lair is available visit Burial grounds 5 times a day for free rewards
- Need to wait 1 hour between each collection
- You also get 1 Advanced Summon less frequently, I think once a day
- Battle in the Arena 5 times a day to earn free rewards
- Need to wait 5 minutes between each battle
- Not necessarily daily but if you see a guy with a question mark above his head, click him! He will ask you a question. Whether you get it right or wrong, you will get rewards. I'm guessing you get better rewards if you get the answer right though.
- There is also a Maiden in the Tulip Pub that you can interact with a "go on dates" with. You can get buffs from it, so you should probably go, but why they would have that being the method of getting those buffs....no idea....
Common Questions
This section is basically copied from other game guides that can be found on r/beermoney. These guides are primarily written by u/Mikazah, so shout out to him!
Can I do this if I already completed it on another offer wall or played the game before on my own?
Generally, no. Almost all of these games state that it's for new users only.
What if I do it on another site?
No.
I don't see the offer! What do I do?
It's possible it simply isn't available for you. I'm from the USA, and many offers are not available outside the USA. If you are from the USA, try checking on the site I did the offer on or on a different site. Sometimes they're only on certain sites. It's also possible that the offer is no longer available.
What do I do if the mobile shortlink isn't working? What does ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED mean?
First off, try using a different browser. There have been issues reported with using Chrome to opening links. If you are still getting an error, it's likely that your device isn't eligible for this offer. Even if it might be able to run the app, sometimes the offers put in specific requirements for devices. In this case, the only thing you can do is try a different device.
I completed the task but I didn't get credit for it! What do I do?
First, wait 24 hours. Most of these games credit within a few minutes, but they may take up to a day sometimes.
Next, check to see if the offer has been completed through the offer wall. If it has not, you must contact the specific offerwall that you completed the task on. For example, if you do this task on Site-xyz through AdGate you have to contact AdGate. If the offer shows as completed but you did not get your points, then the points may have been held and you will need to contact the specific site.
This takes so long! Why would you waste your time for a couple bucks?!
This is a quote from the previous beermoney guides, but I am exactly the same way.
I play these games in between other work or on the weekends. I don't do them instead of better paying work, but rather along side it in my down time or while I'm watching TV. City builder games take a while, but most of it is just waiting around for things to finish building. I'm also a gamer, so I enjoy playing games.
Have any more tips? Let users know in the comments!
This is my first time playing this game. I have a lot of experience playing these sorts of games, but each one is a little bit different and its possible there are some minor aspects of the game I might still be missing. All advice is based on my personal experience.
