Battleplans is a new real time battle strategy game for the iOS and Android platforms. You take control of a home base with a long list of heroes and your goal is to sail your turtles from place to place, freeing heroes who then help you in increasingly tougher and tougher battles. Read on for some tips and tricks for Battleplans!
Battle consists of entering a territory and dragging one of your teams of fighters (consisting of a hero and their troops) from current location to the location where you want them to go. If they come across a group of enemy fighters, a battle takes place automatically. You can’t pull them out of a battle after it starts; you have to wait until the battle itself is over.
Your best bet is almost always to merge all of your teams together, and then send them all on one path towards the crystals whose color they have to change. Strength in numbers is the name of the game, so fighting one battle at a time, using all of your teams against one set of enemies in each battle, is typically the most effective and surest way to win.
Push notifications are perhaps more useful in this game than they are in almost any other game in the App Store. Enable them and then go on an upgrading spree in your base. You can only upgrade one hero-related trait (troops or stats) and one island-related trait (I.E. gold collectors) at one time, so to minimize the time in between upgrades and maximize the speed at which you finish everything, set your push notifications.
As you go hopping from island to island, you can unlock more and more heroes, turtles, buildings for your base, and other goodies. Complete the final battle of a chapter as quickly as possible; if you can complete it right away, then skip every other battle in order to make it happen. Then go back for the other battles later if you see fit to do so.
Send your whole group towards enemies before you do anything else. Try to kill off all of the enemies on the screen as quickly as possible. Once you do that, then split the teams up again and send each one of them towards a different crystal, so that you can illuminate all three of them as quickly as possible.
