Introduction
Available from level 35, just as any other kingdom the player has a castle, but has some buildings already in it. The islands 'refreshes' every month, by a moon storm and resets everything in the kingdom including player castles, cargo points, etc.
In Storm, a player can acquire Aquamarine i.e. the kingdom resource (kingdom resource as in ice we have charcoal and sands we have olive oil) and can -
i) exchange it for units, tools, equipment, etc from Luna's trade boat (individual)
The various things which can be exchanged for aqua -
ii) use it for making cargo ships (alliance oriented)
Level 1 cargo ship which costs 150 aquamarine gives 50 cargo points, these cargo points go to your alliance's total cargo points.
For reaching a certain amount of cargo points, the alliance gains rewards ranging from Alliance funds such as rubies and coins to Titles which give various of bonuses for the holder.
The alliance with the most cargo points at the end of the month wins the event, and the leader gains the 'Storm Lord' title and he/she can assign other titles to his/her alliance members.
How to acquire Aquamarine:
Two ways, three if you include attacking players -
1) Storm forts
Like the robber barons in green and barbarian towers in ice, they are the towers of storm and can be defeated to acquire aquamarine.
2) Aquamarine Islands
These are islands which can be captured to acquire aquamarine, they are two kinds -
i) 6 hours of occupation time which give 11,500 aquamarine and
ii) 18 hours of occupation time which give 52,000 aquamarine
Once defeated and captured, the player has to hold the island for a certain amount of time depending on what kind of island he/she defeated, if he/she captured a 18 hour island, he/she has to wait for 18 hours for the aquamarine in the island to return to their castle, after the occupation period the island sinks and reappears after a period of time, again depending on what kind of island ; a 6 hour aquamarine island after sinking reappears after a day ; an 18 hour aquamarine island reappears after 3 days, in the same place.
How to defeat a 6 hour island:
Left Front Right
Wave 1 : Range - 30 mantles and ---- Range - 30 mantles and 10 ladders 10 ladders
Wave 2 : Range - 30 mantles and ---- Range - 30 mantles and 10 10 ladders 10 ladders
Wave 3 : Range ---- Range
Note: 3 waves are generally enough, a range commander with at least 40-50 range power is needed plus courtyard gems, the more the better.
How to defeat a 18 hour island:
Left Front Right
Wave 1 : Range - 22 iron mantles and; Same as Left ; Same as Left 10 ladders
Wave 2: Range - 22 iron mantles and; Same as Left ; Same as Left 10 ladders
Note: a 70-80 range commander with some good travelling speed. (15 shield walls at either flanks can also be used instead of the iron mantles) (NOTE: after occupation time they appear in the same place after 3 days)
People usually go for capping aquamarine islands than attacking storm forts, as they are a bit tough to defeat and the loot may not be worth it if you don't use the right commander.
How to make Cargo Points - the most efficient way
How your storm castle should look -
The top priority here is building cargo ships, so we need to conserve space as much as possible.
-Start with demolishing these pre-existing buildings- Woodcutter, Stonequarry, Defense and Siege workshops, Sawmill, Stonemason, Marketplace and Dwellings. After demolishing your castle should look like this: (adjust the buildings as shown below)
-Upgrade your keep, storage, barracks and space extensions to the maximum level.
-Start building Cargo Ships, not until you have filled your prepared castle with level 1 cargo ships only then start upgrading them.
Resource Islands (stone and wood)
Just as aquamarine islands, two types with the period of occupation ranging from 4 to 8 hours.4 hour islands give 20,000 resources i.e either wood or stone and 8 hours give 40,000.
How to defeat a 4 hour resource island :
Left Front Right
Wave 1 : 1 soldier (dummy) ---- 1 soldier (dummy)
Wave 1 : 1 soldier (dummy) ---- 1 soldier (dummy)
Wave 1 : 1 soldier (dummy) ---- 1 soldier (dummy)
Wave 4 : Range - 20 mantles and ---- Range - 20 mantles and
10 ladders 10 ladders
If you haven't unlocked the 4th wave yet, you can use the formation used against a 6 hour aquamarine island.
It isn't recommended to capture 8 hour as they are as strong as a 18 hour aquamarine island, and the loot isn't just worth it.
Aqua multiplication
(no actual calculations made, numbers are an approximate value)
Imagine two players - mit and rocky
How this works is if, mit has 35k aquamarine at his storm castle and
rocky attacks him, he gets the 35k aqua, but if rocky uses a 70%
loot commander, and gets the alliance bonuses for war loot, i.e another 100%,
plus if possible any legendary bonuses the loot (these bonuses are crucial for the method to work)would be around 70-80k while mit loses 20k aqua at his castle.
Now rocky with his, say 80k aqua at his castle, mit (with all the same loot bonuses rocky had) attacks him and gets initial loot that is, say 20k as the bonuses are applied after the initial loot, so the total loot mit gets is 70k, while rocky loses just 30k at his castle.
Players worldwide use this method to double their aqua stock.
That's it fellas, happy hunting.
