I guess you're on a mobile phone then. Taking a computer with you on the walk could be a bit cumbersome!

Just the one and I try not to carry my laptop around the streets with me

I've never retreated in the game so far, I just get wiped out. Didn't know you could retreat as there's no place to hide!

That was how I got friends originally. I noticed which neighbours were most helpful and sent them friend requests so that they were still around when the neighbourhood changed.

There's a surrender button which you can use if it's clear you've got no chance left of winning.
DeletedUser118860
Yes thanks for that answer but I've found if you press the Auto battle button if you think you're losing sometimes the AI does better than I would have and I win so I won't ever surrender unless it meant you get to keep your surviving troops. (Does it?)

Yes if you surrender you keep what troops you have left

It's worth watching what the auto-battle does, if you find it's more effective at winning than you are, and learning from its tactics.
(Although the one tactic you don't want to imitate is rushing in to transform all rogues in the opposing army as soon as possible - it was a long time before I learned that if you avoid hitting them or letting them hit you, they die instantly once the enemy has no troops left.)
Embarrassingly, I'm still finding that under some circumstances in the Guild Battlegrounds the auto-battle is more likely to win than I am. I think it's because the AI has access to information that isn't available under the mobile app, like which order which enemy units are scheduled to attack in (there's no way to tell apart multiple units of the same type in the display ribbon at the bottom of the map) and precisely how far it can advance before breaking cover and which squares are definitely safe to hide in...

This bit you can do on the app. Press and hold the enemy unit and the hexes will be shaded red in the area it can hit
Please excuse the slightly dodgy screenshot, it's hard to do while pressing a unit. The one I'm pressing is off the bottom of the picture thanks to my phone

You can't have one, without risking the other!
Soft core! I never leave home without my EEATX full-tower strapped to my back, along with a 50 kg battery pack, VR helmet on the head, and a keyboard strapped to my wrists. For navigation, I use a seeing eye cat. I rarely end up where I want, and usually don't get very far. If you ever see someone in that getup, wandering the freeway or tangled in a tree somewhere, that'll be me.

Your neighbours are also good to borrow sugar or coffee and also let the cats out while your on holiday

I watched a few auto battles of my own and can’t for the life of me work out why the AI would position the Hovertank in an area where the stealth skill does not work, If you want to lose more units choose Auto battle or if you don’t Manual battle all the way and learn the different terrain bonus’s

Thanks CV now I won't be quite so reluctant to surrender if I see I'm losing.
DeletedUser118860
Thanks but that would be awkward as we only have 2 dogs. Could they let the cat out of the bag instead?Your neighbours are also good to borrow sugar or coffee and also let the cats out while your on holiday

Why are players, with no guild, punished with the fp cost on trades?
Is it part of the game mechanics, to force players into a guild?
DeletedUser110131
Only Inno knows the motives of Inno. My educated guess is "not exactly, but pretty close".
To elaborate: The word 'force' is inaccurate. It's perfectly possible to play without joining a guild. If Inno wanted to force players into guilds, they could just assign guilds, and make it impossible to leave a guild without joining another. In a game world, the designers are gods. To call it an 'encouragement' is far more accurate. They want guild membership to be obviously advantageous, so that players can discover the less obvious advantages of it. Inno's interest in this is that guilds contribute to the game experience; the players are enlisted to create content for each other. Guilds also create loyalty in a way that other types of content doesn't. It's a win-win, though, as players get content and community.
Just a guess, but I'd be surprised if I'm far off.

Yep, I discovered that bit (although, alas, in practice pressing and holding each and every enemy unit on the field before every move just doesn't happen...)This bit you can do on the app. Press and hold the enemy unit and the hexes will be shaded red in the area it can hit
What would be nice would be some way to distinguish between 'enemy unit I can target from the current position' and 'enemy unit that can be targeted, but only by moving forward one or more squares', a heavy cause of deaths (or of unnecessary caution) among stealth troops. And a way of distinguishing which squares definitely contain bushes/trees and which only look as if they do - the AI has access to the rear-end data, but I don't!

They are not punished. Players in a Guild are rewarded. Guilds are an integral part of the game. If you want to ignore that, fine, but why should you be rewarded? If you camp in IA you will never be able to use the ASD. Does that mean you are being punished, or are you just the victim of your own game choices?

The first thing the game encorages a player to do is develop friends. Therefore my first guild is my friends list.
Regardless of any future choices we make in the game ,that list remains the 1st list of communication whith other players in the game.
I totally support guild alliance's. As you stated they are an integral part of the game worlds.
I call it PUNISHMENT when a game design group and its management
personnel think they can control whom I associate with within the game ,by placing penalties on those actions.
OK! Had my say .
I will go back and play like a good little child.
