If you are looking for a Guide to Warpath then this might just be what you are looking for.
Warpath is an online strategy game where players battle each other to reach the top. Warpath has various units you can use for your war effort.

Home Display Navigation


In the Bottom There are 6 Icon

(From left to Right)

  • Campaigns - If you tap on the Campaign Icon it will take you to the campaign map. Playing Campaign could grant you Rewards so make sure you all ways finish campaign levels.
  • Alliances - If you open the alliances tab it will take you to the alliance screen where you could create or join an alliance,
  • Supplies - Is where you could see what items you currently have.
  • Officers - This is where you could see your officers. You can check their level here and promote them using Strategy Books.
  • Units - This is where you could see what Units you have, this is also where you could level up, equip parts and modify them.
  • Systems - Currently who could only access Camp Rank in the System tab


Above the 6 Icons are the units that you currently have equipped you can also see there numbers of stars, level and How many troops they have each.

Above the Currently equipped units in the right is the select all button which you can use to select all your units. And next to that is the army button if you press the army it will take you to the army page which is where you can assign officers to each units and this is where you can recruit new units if they got destroyed in battle.

In the Left Bottom side above the currently equipped units are three buttons the Chat button which will take you to the chat screen, the second button above the chat button is the take me back to base button if you are viewing parts of the map and its a pain to keep swiping your camera back to base. And above the Second button is the Mission Button you can view your missions here.

In the right side of the screen above the Select all and army buttons is the Mail and Collect all Materials Button.

Now in The Top of the screen you could see your Profile, Power and Coordinates in the bottom of power(In the top left corner)Next to those are your current Resources(From left to right) The Military Funds, Steel, Crude Oil, Reserve Troops and Gold.

Below the Profile there are three buttons The Search Button which you can use to search for Raven's, Farms, Mines and oil Fields. And below the Search button is the Airlift Button which you can use to move your base to far away places. Airlift uses Transfer Instruction which you can obtain in the alliances store or rewards from events. And below the Airlift button is the Resource collection tab here you can check the status of your collection convoy.

In the Top Right Corner below the Gold There are Three are Tabs the Chest tab where you can draw New units. I suggest when Draw when for units saved the ticket for 10x draw since you have more chance of drawing better units there. Below the Chest tab is the Event tab where you can see what events are currently happening. And below the Events is the Supremacy where you can Find the black market and Buy gold. In the Black Market I suggest buying all items that uses the resources Military fund, steel and crude oil to purchase items do not use gold to purchase items in the black market.

Now if you press in the middle of your Base Five tabs will appear The upgrade, Relocate, Garrison, Emoticons and Airdrop.(Not included in the upper image sorry.)

  • Upgrade - to upgrade your Command Center.
  • Relocate - To move your base via Ground Transport which is ideal for short distance moving.
  • Garrison - Command your Units to garrison on your base.(If your going offline its best to garrison your units because they act as added defense to your base.
  • Emoticons - Use for using emoticons and text.
  • Airdrops - airdrops are box airdropped near your base the content of the box are random. The Number of airdrops you can do depends on the level of your command center.


The Building with the red roof is the factory where you can produce materials for leveling up your base .This is also where you can find the disassemble area where you can disassemble 3 star units to make them into gears for modifying, you can also revert your high level units here to back to level 1 and all resources used to level up that units will be taken back 100% and you can also disassemble unused parts here.

The building with the blue roof is the research building where you can research new tech. This is where you can also find Assembly.

And the Building with the tower and runway is the airport which houses planes which you can use to uncover fog which covers the map in the start of the game.

Tip in uncovering Fog: Uncover first the outer Fog once you have uncover a square shape of the map send your scout to uncover the corner of the map. which the scout will move to uncover other fog in there way to reach the corner of the fog.(Sorry I can't provide images for the tip since i have uncovered all fogs in my map.)

Basic Units Movement


Now if you select your units and press on an empty Hex Two Commands will appear The Go commands which tells your units to go to that hex and the Auto Attack command which tells your unit to attack identified enemy automatically.
Now when you tap on a raven unit on the map two commands will appear the attack and the converge.(Sorry again not included in the photo)

  • Attack - Basically tells units to attack
  • Converge - Tells units to attack but not randomly they wait for other units to arrive and what's good about converge is the raven units will target your toughest units which could be a heavy tank, a super heavy or a Infantry with a bunker.


UNITS


There are Different types of Units in the game and all have some advantages and disadvantages to them.

  • Infantry - Can activate Bunker to tank damage coming from enemies when attacking make sure the bunker is activated. Infantry is good against Anti-tank guns and Tank Hunter.
  • Light Tank - Fast but has weak armor High mobility tanks is unique and can only be found in Camp Liberty. Light Tank is good against Anti- Tank gun, Howitzers and Tank Hunters.
  • Medium Tank - Has balanced performance has good armor and firepower. Good against Light Tank and Tank Hunter
  • Heavy Tank - Has strong armor but low mobility. Good against Medium Tanks and Light Tanks.
  • Super Heavy Tanks - Has very strong armor But has low mobility good for tanking damages. Good against Heavy Tanks.
  • Tank Hunters - Has high mobility and penetration but has low armor. Good against Heavy tanks.
  • Anti - Tank Guns - Has high penetration but has no armor. Good against Super Heavy Tanks.
  • Howitzer - Good for destroying Bases and Infantry.
  • Launcher - Has high mobility and good attack power. Good against Infantry.


The number of troops on each units depends on the level of your Barracks, So make sure you level up your barracks if you want to have more numbers of troops.

Tip: When attacking make sure to use your infantry with bunker or Heavy tanks to take the damage to make sure they are the target make the infantry or heavy tank to attack first since raven units and base defense attack the unit that attacks it first.

Officers

Officers are put on a unit to command it officers bring unique skill in to the battlefield and can give your units the edge to when battles. Currently there are only 9 officers in the game


Officers are equipped on a unit to give the unit buffs if you equip the officer with a certain type of unit it has greater buff to give to the unit as seen on the image above the skill Knight of Valor has those units symbol below it it means that that officer skill can only be activated when the officer is in command of the right unit.


Assembly Workshop


Assembly Workshop can be found if you press on the research building here you can combine units to make them more powerful. The number of star found on each units represents how far it is in the evolution of the units.
To Evolve a units to its next phase you must have a unit from the same camp with the same number of stars.

Research
Doing research will help you get stronger it can help you gain new max level for your troops and unlock more collection convoy and make them efficient.


There are three Categories in research
The Industry which can help you have faster and efficient collection speed and unlock more levels of resource collection points on the map.
The Military which gives some buffs to your units and unlock more max levels for your units since they have level capacity.
And the City Honor which the research it gives can contribute to the points collected for the arms race in the the daily arms race.
In doing research its up to you if you want to focus in Industry so you can collect resources efficiently, military so you can have stronger units or have a balanced research both on industry and military so you can have both benefits.

Alliances

When Joining an alliance make sure that the members are active and contributes to making your alliance stronger.

When Creating an alliance make sure that you can recruit members cause if you can't recruit members its better if you just join an alliance.

When recruiting members make sure that you have a nice message to them that will make them join your alliance and make sure that they are active and helping your alliance.

Also make sure to make some allies with other alliances near you cause if you have other alliances as allies you can support each other if some other alliance attack your alliance or your allies.

When building or burning villages make sure that the road is connected to your territory otherwise it would be invalid.

and make sure no other alliance members bases are in range of the village cause if there is the building of turret or CC(Central Command) would be invalid.


Also make sure that when Military zone opens take control of it immediately since other alliances wants it cause it gives benefits to your members. And if it your alliance is the first one to capture the zone you will get First time Capture Rewards.

Transport Node


If your alliance manage to capture a transport node then you are lucky you and your alliance can move to a higher level cities since you started in a level 1 city capturing a transport node can get you to other level 1 cities or level 2 cities which has more resources and has more powerful raven units.


When the transport node are open you and your alliance members will need to have Entry Permit to move and enter to other cities and since you don't have territory to the city your moving to you will just be relocated and end at a random location at the city that you move into, but if you have a territory in the city that you are moving to you will end up in your alliance territory.
Tip for alliance who has no transport node: Join the alliance that holds the transport node temporarily once you made it to the other city rejoin your former alliance and build a CC(Central Command) in that city so your members can also move to the other city. In doing this its better if an officer of your alliance does this cause only officer and the leader can build turrets and CC once the officer rejoins the alliance promote him to R4 fast so he/she can build the CC.
In promoting members to R4 or Officers make sure they are active and always help the alliance to be strong.

Alliance Research

In alliance research its better to research tech that benefits you and your whole alliance. So its better to read each description of the research so you know what to research.
and when contributing wait until you have the full 20 times to contribute cause the more you contribute in those 20 times there is a multiplier.

Communicating with your alliance during an attack or defense
To have better communication during attacking another alliance or defending it is better to use Discord voice channel so you can talk with your alliance member on what to attack next?, who will attack first?, who will be the vanguard of the attack? without opening the in-game chat room.

Units Composition


When thinking of what units to equip you need to think about what unit your up against? or what units might survive longer?

When equipping units you need to have a unit that can take damage this could either be an infantry unit or a heavy tank, and you must also have some counter against heavy tanks so equip a tank hunter and also equip a launcher to deal with enemy infantry and the last two units could either be two medium tanks since they are good all around tanks or add another heavy tank to have more damage takers and one medium tank.

Tips for Beginners

  • Don't attack other players since you could not get resources from them.
  • Don't use rush when the research time is only 1 hour or five hours use it when the research time is more than 6 hours
  • Do the daily mission so you could get more gold and resources
  • Don't use gold use them when you really do need to use them.
  • Don' t buy items in the black market that uses gold, instead buy the ones that uses resources.
  • Reach VIP 4 cause the VIP daily chest contains 1 universal ticket in VIP 4.
  • When Drawing Units wait till you get the 10 tickets so you could do the 10x draw cause you will have better chance you drawing 4 or 5 star units.
  • When attacking Raven Bunker when the raven units comes out attack them first cause they can destroy your units.
  • When leveling up officers using officer mission assign them to the 30 minutes mission cause multiple times of 30 mins mission gives more exp to officer than the 7 hours mission.
  • Do Campaign to get the rewards.
  • When moving the base short distance use to relocate via ground transport found when you tap on the base and not the airlift.
  • When collecting resources collect inside the territory of your alliance since you can get crates.
  • Do not get your units get destroyed when attacking since when you are recruiting units you use reserves troops which is only limited.
  • Use your Material Rush to get materials.
  • Prioritize researching in the industry part of tech research so you can collect resources faster and efficiently so that you can upgrade buildings.
  • When attacking make sure the infantry is in bunker mode and make them attack first since Raven units target the once who attack it first.
