Overview

This offer was pretty easy. FFXV (Final Fantasy XV) is another city builder clone. Since it only required 220k power, all you really need to focus on is training troops. Upgrading buildings and doing research does increase your power as well, but the amount is so little that it's not worth focusing too much on. For reference, 180k of my power came from troops and 20k came from buildings. The most important thing about this game is keeping a shield on so that you don't loose resources and troops.

I'm not sure if this offer requires 200k power or 220k power. The offer states 220k, but once it credited, it says it only needs 200k. I rushed from 140k to 220k, so I'm not sure which one it credited at.


Offer Name	Play Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire
Offer Wall	None, I found it on Swagbucks front page.
Device Used	I use Android. It says it works on iPad and iPhone, but make sure to follow the instructions on the page for it to credit properly.
Amount	$35 on Swagbucks
Time Limit	14 days
Time Spent	3 days. I didn't really start training troops until late in the 2nd day, and I wasted a ton of resources upgrading research I didn't really need.

Your city

I recommend getting your Citadel to level 11 or 12. I stopped at 11, but going to 12 would have resulted in less gold being wasted since each training set used ~450k food and took 5.5 hours. Since I bought food in sets of 500k and used two 3 hour speedups, I was wasting gold. When you first start off, only level up what is required for your citadel. You will quickly start running out of resources if you upgrade other things. Once your Citadel hits level 10, make sure to build an Armory and craft a broadsword and a pair of Goggles. If you are able to combine up your materials to get higher level ones, you should do that first. After that, focus on filling out your town and then slowly work on upgrading your Citadel after that.

For your resource buildings - Make 8 Mines, 3 Energy Extractors, 1 Farm, and fill the rest of the spots with Quarries. You only want 1 Farm because your troops will end up eating all of your food anyways. Level these buildings up to 10 or so. If you want to be efficient, wait until you craft equipment with -build time on it, and activate your VIP time.

For inside the town - Build one Hospital Ward, one Bank, and fill the rest with Barracks. Make sure to level your Barracks all the way up once your Citadel is 10.

If you have any leftover food from using a pack, it can be helpful to just upgrade whatever building or research item. Your troops will end up eating all of your food anyways, so you might as well get that small power bonus.

Research

You will want to unlock the following researches:

Monster Tactics Level 1 from the Hero category
Troop Training Time Cost Reduction from the Combat Category
One of the three Traps (Fire, Lightning, or Ice) from the Defense Category. You can only build so many traps, so wait until you unlock one of these three before building as many traps as you can. Traps are built from your Wall.
Hero Attack from the Adventurer category - The Adventurer category requires special shards you get from completing various actions in the game, so upgrade this whenever you get enough shards.
Training Queue from the Adventurer category - The Adventurer category requires special shards you get from completing various actions in the game, so upgrade this whenever you get enough shards.

Events

Early in the game, make sure to do as many of the events as you can. Those leadership rewards are great - you can get gold and resources. Pay special attention to the 4 hour events that have you level up your Citadel or your Hero - it is very easy to place on the leadership boards for those. A lot of 1-hour events only reward you with fragments to be used in research, so don't worry too much if you miss one.

Hero

Your hero gains energy fairly quickly in this game, so make sure to send them out and attack monsters regularly. Try to pair it up with an event if you can, but don't wait too long and waste energy. When your hero levels up, your energy will be fully replenished. It can be helpful to hold onto exp items for when there is a monster kill event, and take advantage of the fact that the MP recovers when you level up.

For his skills - dump everything into Quarry Production.

Troops

This is how you're going to get most of your power. Keep siege troops training every moment you can. Siege troops are a bit more expensive, but they give 3 power instead of 2 power and they take the same amount of time to train. I don't recommend trying to get tier 2 troops since the resource cost is high, and you can easily get enough power without them. It's best to save your speedups for when there is an event, since speedups are pretty rare in this game.

You should have enough of everything except for Food once you have all of the resource buildings upgraded to level 10.

Make sure not to buy too much more food than you can use at a time. It is more cost efficient to buy bigger packs of resources, but if your troops are going to eat all of the food then it will just get wasted. If you are going to buy a bigger pack, make sure you have enough gold to speed up the trainings.

Should you spend real money?

I wouldn't bother. I saw some people mentioning you can complete it with less effort by buying the daily packs for a few days, but with how easy this offer is, it feels like a complete waste.

Other tips/notes for this game:

Make sure to join a guild. You don't need to focus too much on finding an amazing one, but find one that is relatively active so that you can complete the guild gift events.
Make sure to check your item tab regularly. You will get a bunch of boxes to open and gold.

General tips for these type of city builder mobile games:

When you click the offer on the offer wall, download the app right away. As soon as it's done downloading, open the app right away and let it run for a while (play the game, make an account, let it sit, whatever). Do not navigate away at any point during the process. Taking too long or messing around while the game is downloading/installing may cause problems with it crediting later.
Make an account and confirm your email. This is required for most of these types of games, but it is never mentioned.
Never stockpile resources above your protected limit - and try to keep them as low as possible. Don't open resource items or other things until you need them.
Rename your city/character. You're more likely to get kicked out of an alliance and/or attacked if you have the default name.
Make sure to do your Daily, Alliance/Guild/Clan and VIP quests (if applicable).
Join an alliance asap. I always recommend aiming for a lower to mid-tier alliance. You want something that has a lot of newer players and a high turnover rate. This will allow you to get the much needed speedups from alliance helps. If your alliance isn't helping enough, join a new one. Don't bother teleporting to their hive - just stay where ever it puts you unless you start getting ganked. Alternatively, you could attempt to find a generous and friendly higher tier guild and ask for them to send you resources... but good luck with that.
Make sure to hit that Help Alliance button. Most games will give you an alliance currency that can be used to purchase useful items.
Make sure to turn off notifications - these will get really annoying.
Go into the Options and change the setting to warn you when spending any coin (if applicable). It is incredibly easy to misclick and needlessly waste gold.

Common Questions

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. I have had issues with Chrome opening links before. 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?!

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!

As always, 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. All advice is based on my personal experience and my playstyle.
