Drone Command Center

The Drone Command Center is a 3 x 3 x 3 bonus decor that increases the area of your invasions for 15 minutes.  As a result, you will be able to receive more resources from invasions.  This decor's item code is BB27.

The Drone Command Center needs to be crewed in order to be activated.  Once activated, it cannot be reactivated for another 24 hours.

Quotes from the game:

• Build the Drone Command Center to increase invasion area and yield a larger volume of resources from each attack.
• Hire neighbors to operate a fleet of Drones that will increase the area of your invasions. Pillage more with every attack!
• The Drone Command Center will increase the area of your invasions for 15 minutes.
• The Drones have headed back to the Command Center. You can reactivate it in 24 hours.
• Staff the Drone Command Center everyday with friends who will operate the Drones.

For now, the Crimson Copter is the most powerful unit in Empires & Allies.  Watch out for more Tier 9 units to come.

Buildable Tier 8 Units

New, buildable Tier 8 units are coming soon!  These can be built in the Barracks 4, Shipyard 4, or Air Hangar 4.

Hint: Pestonia is a less wealthy, very backward country that shares a huge chunk of border with you and they often take advantage of that.

Quest Hook: Your corrupt neighbors require a bit of pacifying. Previous attempts at peace have failed so be prepared with a back-up plan.

Quest Pop-up: This shaky political relationship we have with our neighbor needs to stabilize. We're constantly facing threats of terrorism. I suggest one more round of peace talks and if that doesn't work, well... we'll see.

Farm Camp

The Farm Camp is a 2 x 2 x 1 bonus decor with a medium area of effect (2 cells).  Like the Prison Camp, it is activated by capturing prisoners.  Capturing 5, 10, or 15 prisoners give speed-ups of 15%, 30%, or 45%, respectively, to farm production.

The Farm Camp's item code is DB11.

There is a quest associated with the Farm Camp called "A-Farming We Will Go".

Quotes from the game:

• Collect these parts to complete your Farm Camp. Once completed, you can capture prisoners and put them to work to speed up your Farms!
• 5, 10, and 15 prisoners will give you a boost of 15%, 30% and 45% respectively. They will be released after serving 3 days in the Camp.
• I've just set up a Farm Camp to accelerate my agricultural production the old fashioned way - with manual labor.
• Grow crops faster! Speed up Farms with the help of prisoners you capture.

The Scion

The Scion will be the next and 14th Tier 8 unit to be released.  It is an Artillery unit with base Strength of 1300 and comes fully upgraded with 1560 Strength--the same as for the Kilowatt (Battleship) and higher than the other existing Tier 8 units.  The Scion's item code is UM83.

The Scion is the strongest Artillery in Empires & Allies now.  It is tied with the Kilowatt for being the strongest military unit in the entire game.

Trivia: Scion is a line of cars made by Toyota.

Bubble Safari Cross-Promotion

Zynga has been cross-promoting Bubble Safari in its other games, including Empires & Allies.  What better way to popularize a new game than to entice the millions of players from your existing game portfolio?

The image above was sent to players of E&A.  It reads:

Wage War in Bubble Safari and Enjoy the Spoils

Go on a wild fruit blast with Bubbles the Money.  Pop 'till you drop!

Conquer Region 3 in Bubble Safari to earn:

• 15 Energy
• 15 Element Z
• 1 Tactical Nuke

in Empires & Allies.

The Kilowatt

The Kilowatt will be the next and 13th Tier 8 unit to be released.  It is a Battleship with base Strength of 1300 and comes fully upgraded with 1560 Strength--higher than any of the existing Tier 8 units.  The Kilowatt's item code is UT49.

The Kilowatt is the strongest Battleship in Empires & Allies now, being the same Tier as the Poisedon USV but having 44.4% higher Strength.  It is also the strongest military unit in the entire game, beating out the Beacon, Nimitzern, and Venom by 8.3% in Strength.

According to Wikipedia:

The kilowatt is equal to one thousand (103) watts. This unit is typically used to express the output power of engines and the power consumption of electric motors, tools, machines, and heaters. It is also a common unit used to express the electromagnetic power output of broadcast radio and television transmitters.

Limited Edition Unit Factory Hack

[June 4, 2012 - Several sources claim that this hack has been patched.]

The Survival Mode Hack, as we knew it, was patched on May 3, 2012.  Since then, a couple of working, alternative hacks have been spreading.  One of them uses the Limited Edition Unit Factory (LEF).

The LEF Hack can be done using Charles or Cheat Engine.  The hack is very simple to execute using Cheat Engine, and this article will explain this approach.  I assume you know how to use Cheat Engine well, and will not go into as much detail as I did in previous articles.

Flagged Accounts

No matter what hack you may attempt, there is an issue you need to keep in mind.  As many of you know, Zynga took away Tier 8 units from many players who did not purchase them.  Zynga has also been flagging accounts for abuse of Tier 8 units.

The set of players who have been flagged is probably almost the same as the set of players who lost Tier 8 units.  Players who were flagged might not be able to use hacks of any kind to produce Tier 8 units (there may be exceptions for technical reasons).

So if you can't seem to make Tier 8 units using this hack or any other hack, either you did something wrong or your account is flagged.  In the latter case, be happy with hacking other units (like Super units) or try making Tier 8 units in a virgin account.

Steps to LEF Hack

Step 1 - Preparation

Have a Limited Edition Unit Factory built.

Have all the parts collected for one of the units.

As an example, I will convert a Hind (U113) to a Venom (UB52).  Look up the codes for other LEF units here:

Codes: Limited Edition Factory Units


Step 2 - Set Up

Open up the Limited Edition Unit Factory.

Open Cheat Engine and attach the process belonging to the browser your Empires & Allies game is running on.


Step 3 - Convert

Scan for text "U113" including quotes.  Replace with text "UB52" including quotes.

Press the button in the game to build the unit.  Place it into a depot.

Refresh the game to see your new unit in the depot.
