metoo1000 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hey, Welcome to The Fast MA Guide, the best way to get fast MA ranks. Here i will be Explaining the Quick and Easy way to Achieve the fasted MA games possible. This method is known to the highest ranked players in MA. Our Clan Chat is "Fast_ma" and our IRC channel is #fastma The spill over clan chat is fastest_ma ease read all of this before you come. To find out what world or if you need help getting started, we are always in one of the chats and we have plenty of people there willing to help. Fast MA Welcome to Fast MA, We are a group who aim to get ranks in Mobilizing Armies as fast as possible. First you will need to join either the Fast MA clan chat or the IRC channel. Clan chat = Fast MA, IRC = #Fastma. If you have joined the clan chat, look at what world the majority of the people are in, this will be the current world. If you have joined the IRC channel, type !Maw this will make the bot tell you the current Fast MA world. Now that you have the Fast MA world, log into it and go to the special units table and purchase 5 cannons. Now go to the unit recruitment building and purchase 10 light elves, the reason we use light elves is that they are faster at moving and have a low amount of health. Ok, now that you have all of your troops go to the stairs located to the south of the area in between the rewards building and the recruitment building. When you try and enter, a box will come up, Click Siege, choose your formation (it doesnt matter what you use), click next. Ok on this page you can choose how much to invest into the fight, the more you invest, the more reward credits you will get (The amount you invest does not affect the rank you gain). Once done, click finish and you will be sent to the waiting room. You can also use your mini map to move your squads around this seems to be one of the fastess way to get them moving. To show youre in the Fast MA team, stand on the south wall and just wait until you get into a game. Once in a game, the teams determine what you will be doing. This is how you lure your squads so they don't get stuck on the wall. For yellow aim your squads to the location on the picture below before trying to attack the south wall. For green aim your squads to the location on the picture below before trying to attack the south wall. YOU MUST LURE YOUR SQUADS FIRST OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET STUCK BEHIND THE TOWERS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE CASTLE. This should be the final location where your squads should be attacking the south wall. Red ,Yellow and Green Once in the game, send all 10 of your troops to collect rocks, this is so that you will defiantly get a rank point for doing at least 10 commands. The red team now has the easiest thing to do, they tell all of their 10 squads to attack the south wall. The Yellow and Green team have to click 6 squares south of the wall however, this is to stop their troops getting stuck on the west and east wall. Once all 10 troops are 6 squares south, click on the south wall to attack it. If everything has gone to plan, there should be 30 squads attacking the wall. One thing to remember, there are 2 parts of the south wall that can be attacked, attack the west part, it is one square to the left of the door. Now you will wait until the timer in the top right corner changes to 26 minutes remaining. If you die before this, you will not get any rank. Once the timer hits 26 minutes, use your cannons to hit all of the teams, the easiest way to do this is from the east or west of the teams. A combined total of 15 cannons should be more than enough to kill all 30 squads. Blue The blue team has an easier job in the game. Once spawned, send 1 squad to collect wheels, another to collect wood, another to collect rope and another to collect metal. Use your remaining 6 troops to collect rocks. Now you will have a fully functional catapult, you will also have done 10 commands. You can choose to either wait or continue to collect rocks to stop you from getting bored. Once the timer has hit 26 minutes, put your camera on the other squads, if not all of them have died, use your cannon to kill them. Quick list of things to always remember. ~Its always better to invest 10k per round because you always get 8-13k credits back from playing a game also this helps to save for higher lvl robes such as lord marshal witch cost about 800k. ~If their happens to be a crasher please use the QC option Run Away to inform everyone of the crasher in the game. ~Bring 5 cannons, DO NOT FORGET THESE. ~Always hit enter + A once a game stats to ID yourself as a friendly and not a crasher. ~lvl 1 light elfs have the least amount of HP so they are the best way to go. ~DONT forget to wait till the clock hits 26 mins left to cannon DO NOT CANNON BEFORE!

Lowgravity Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Great guide I have been using fast ma a fair bit today and it's great, can't see anything you can add to your guide other than the investment stuff such as 5.5k being the minimum amount to put in if you want reward points, you could also make a vid? :P Lowgravity, I want to be just like you. But...I never will be as 1337 as you. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaaps1 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 A few things: 1) You can use the minimap to move your squads. It makes life a lot easier for the green and yellow teams 2) Mention that for those who are going for Lord Marshal, investing 10k per game during this saves ~5 hours compared to ranking to 250 and playing the last ~40 games normally. 3) Oftentimes, blue teamers will send all but 4 squads to explore. This is a good idea because it gets them out of the way. Usually, it also places about 2 squads near the south wall, so you can attack the squads down there to assist the cannons. EDIT: 4) Also mention the QC codes, eg. "Run away!" to signify there is a crasher ~It's Super Effective!

I suppose, but either way you should get 6 squads out of the way. 4 is all you need to do it effectively. And you can also get some nice things, like red topaz. Some of the stuff is worth banking. Plus, if you do get junk, you can drop it on the way to restock cannons. Also, very rarely do your squads die doing this. They will get caught, but they won't take enough damage to die. I guess it's goes down to opinion. ~It's Super Effective!

Danqazmlp Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Add mind runes to the chart at the bottom, same price as fires and same invest. I'll see how much body runes invest for, as they are cheaper than both minds and fires. Want to be my friend?

Zaaps1 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Btw when I talk to the guy and ask him for a prefix, he says he has given me one, and so does the game (eg. in the chatbox it says "Your rank is now: Sergeant"). However, that prefix never appears before my game when I speak, or in the chatbox, or (as I am told) before my name on-screen. Do you know how to fix this? ~It's Super Effective!

Zaaps1 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Ah. Thanks, why'd they change that though? Seems like a pointless change. ~It's Super Effective!

Carl Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Ah. Thanks, why'd they change that though? Seems like a pointless change. posting.php?mode=quote&f=180&t=802205&p=6793099 It was causing some issues I believe. I think it's only a temporary removal? I'm not sure. Also, the Qc code for someone attacking is "I'm about to be defeated!", that should get everyones attention. ;) I really don't think there's anything else of importance to add in, and there's a video on You Tube already. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghxhr3Jn68g (Sorry, I don't remember how to embed!) I'm not sure who of us that is with Fast Ma made this, either. RIP Michaelangelopolous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiyno Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Nice guide, I'll definitely use this method for rank 300. I'm currently satisfied with my dragonstone ring. Do you guys do this with lvl 1 squads? Do you know if you get more ranks when using lvl 2 or higher squads? 2819th to reach 99 agility - June 30, 2009Rare Drops: Champion Scrollx13, Shield Left Halfx2, Dragon Plateskirt, Dragon Spear43rd Member of XV Champions Club - 2/07/11 http://www.runehead.com/clans/ml.php?clan=xvchampions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
