Optimal Research Order
1
Elite Troops
Badges: None (badge-free) · Do first
Foundation requirement — no badge consumption. Complete fully before moving on.
2
Hero Training
Badges: Low · Stop at Cockpit
Get to Cockpit level and stop. Extra attack tier isn't worth the badge investment at this stage.
3
Military Strategies
Badges: Low/Affordable · 40% minimum
Cheap but essential HP boosts (10-15%). Unlocks Peace Shield and Siege to Seize trees.
4
Peace Shield
Badges: Medium · Urgent Rescue priority
Essential Urgent Rescue branch gives 20% unit survival boost. Recharge Shield adds HP stacking.
5
Siege to Seize
Badges: Medium · After Peace Shield
Secondary HP stacking through Recharge Shield. Combined with Peace Shield = 35-40% extra HP.
6
Fully Armed Alliance
Badges: High · Luxury/Skip
Contains Annihilation 20/20 and Move Out. Non-essential luxury tech for whales with T10 troops only.
