Dignfight Strategies

There isn't much to do tonight, so I'm going to talk a little about game theory in DignFight.

Just like chess, there's an opening, mid-game, and end game.

The opening in DignFight is difficult because:

• You probably don't know how to play the game and you might quit before it get's interesting
• The forums and websites are probably a little too complicated for you to understand
• When you look at the Top 50 players, you think it's impossible to get that high

Things to remember about the opening:

• Look around you when you first start, there are tons of other low-level Keepers
• The most important thing in the game is GOLD. It can be profitable to attack, but it is much easier to dig for gold
• Exploring is fun, recruit different kinds of creatures, research spells and traps, tinker doors and traps when you can

Once you get into the single-digit thousands (rank 9000 and higher) you're in the midgame (this number varies on different servers). The mid-game sucks because:

• You are going to run into Devilers, Dark Elves, and Black Riders here
• You will probably attack a Keeper and they will make it their goal in life to get revenge, even if they steal nothing and have to constantly heal their own creatures

The mid-game also rocks because:

• Now you understand most of the forum posts (and this blog)
• This is the area when you will find the richest Keepers with the worst defense
• If you take your time and train your creatures, you can build a strong army and stay low in the High Score List

The end-game is from about rank 300 and up. It can suck here because:

• All of the Keepers here are the same, you can't run from the bullies anymore
• To climb higher, you MUST deal with high-level Black Riders (lvl 12+)
• If you haven't trained your creatures to at least level 8, you're not going anywhere. Level 10+ is preferable, and a HIGH coverage helps too
• You need to wait forever for your creatures to level up (3 days or more)
• Black Riders will cost at least 10k gold to train without using any premiums
• Most Keepers don't attack much in the Top 100

The end-game is cool because:

• Being in the Top 100 of anything rocks!
• Other than that...I dunno
