    I did not learn defense +5 for gunners & damage on gun towers for brutes. I cam seem to move up the skill tree. But is there a reason to learn those skill? I mean does the +5 for gunners help or they should focus on atks?

    A little more health is not a bad thing, but follow the tree the way that best fits you style of gameplay. I tend to just get everything, but I use skills as a way to dump off Grog when I leave the game (less attacks on me then).

    Imo gunners & brutes are your bread & butter troops when raiding. I keep mine maxed or always actively upgrade those first when grog becomes available.

    Yup. I maxed them for Acd 5, and I'll do the same for 6. 2 best troops for both farming and pushing IMO.

    Theres some upgrades that shouldn't ever be done. 2 toughness upgrades on WD for one.

    Take into consideration that the upgrades increase the recruiting cost and time. A new player should be mindful on with skills selects.

    Im upgrading WD on his lvl 3 upgrades now, looks to me that he will be 70k grog maxed out all skills. Unless the last 3 upgrades increase his cost by 20k each rather than 10k like it has been. 15 minute bake time too. Ouch.

    Unless the skill tree forks you really don't have much of a choice. Every academy tier there seems to be a must have skill in the middle or end of that upgrade section of the skill tree.

    Gimped units won't be effective in raids. My mortars are always maxed. I love retaliating on players that get sub 100k from me, so I can return the favor and wipe them out.

    I usually have a few bases that require my visit every morning. It's like a pirates way of having a cup of coffee and saying good morning!

    Last 2 are 25k each. Makes skipping the 2 toughness upgraded crucial imo. Costs you 50k grog and over 7 mins each to gain 8 toughness. Huge mistake.

    Was hoping that wasn't the case.

    WD is a good unit thou once you figure out how to use him. Can turn a loss into a win very easily. No 1 unit in the game can do that.
