This guide is most effective for teaching newer players the basics to creature creation and a few basic strategies to teach them to play. If you happen to have any other tips of your own, feel free to comment down below.

------------------------

Not all of the things you see here are accurate. The guide will be changing quite frequently now that I have some more freetime. As I have said and will say a million times, don't be afraid to share your ideas and strategies to me. I'm still learning, too.

------------------------

With that said, please share this guide with your friends and favorite it, I'd like to see as many players of this game as possible begin to learn what a gem this game is.

Hopefully you know how to build structures. BUT, there is some more that you need to know about building structures that you might not know already.

• Holding the SHIFT button and clicking while placing buildings allows you to place more than one without constantly clicking back
  
• Use the quickbinds to quickly find a building and throw it down

A simple starter tip is to create bramble trenches, by simply placing brambles down 1 space apart. This allows your henchmen to run in between them to repair structures or move to another location without taking damage from non-ranged units.

Another tip is to place AA and SB towers in the center of a bramble X. This way, they will be hard to hit, but easy to repair.

Don't jump straight for generator upgrades. You could be spending that coal on more important things like research or defensive buildings!

A good army is one that suits your own play-style. If you're defensive, then create some ranged creatures with good damage and health. If you are offensive, make something you can spam but can take and deliver a beating in combat. If you don't know what to start out with, here are some simple armies to start from scratch with:

Lvl. 1 - Armadillo / Mountain Lion
Lvl. 2- Lobster / Mountain Lion
Lvl. 2 - Frog / Zebra/Ant OR Electric Eel
Lvl. 3- Komodo Dragon / Rattle Snake
Lvl. 3 - Lioness / Dolphin
Lvl. 4 - Horse / Rattle Snake
Lvl. 4 - Killer Whale / Coyote
Lvl. 5 - Lobster / Elephant
Lvl. 5 - Baboon / Sperm Whale

Lvl 1: Coyote / Dragonfly
Lvl 2: Cheetah / Termite
Lvl 2 (Ranged): Chimp / Bombardier Beetle
Lvl 3: Ram / Scorpion OR Lobster
Lvl 3 (Ranged): Chameleon / Polar Bear OR Grizzly Bear
Lvl 4: Rattlesnake / Horse OR Tiger
Lvl 4: Cheetah / Snapping Turtle OR Panther / Anteater
Lvl 5: Moose / Lobster OR Wooly Mammoth / Dragonfly

Armies don't have to be one set type, however. Create the army that suits you best, and feel free to comment down below your favorite army.

NOTE: All of these armies come from this forum site[forums.relicnews.com], so please, give them credit. Not me.

No two people play the game the same way. Everybody does something different from the last. Players can play off of three main play-styles, Offense, Defense, and Support.

OFFENSE:
An offensive player is designed to rush early-mid game with powerful creatures, and able to destroy entire teams at late-game. These players usually use a lot of coal and electricity in this process, however, and are vulnerable during one of their assaults.

DEFENSE:
A defensive player can defend themselves, while doing a little damage to the enemies as well. Usually situated around their home base, these players are more focused on building than creating creatures. They can be found at their weakest during early-mid game, when their coal and electricity levels are low.

SUPPORT:
A supporting player assists their teammates by supplying them with coal, electricity, and even a little backup during a fight. Since they're too focused on defending their allies, they can be wiped out quite easily in mid-late game.

This is all information I've found within my time of playing the game. Feel free to add whatever you want in the comments. I'll update based on new information I receive from both you guys and myself.

Also, if you guys submit something, I'll gladly tag you for the info. I also plan on adding pictures after Christmas break.

I do apologize for not updating this list very often. Once I get the last couple of upgrades for my PC I will finally get myself back into playing this game. I could start playing it now, of course, but I just want to have my computer problems out of the way.
