Welcome to West Game II

Howdy, Boss! Welcome to the wildest, most lawless patch of dirt this side of the Mississippi. Danger's thick as thieves, and if you ain't tough, you're dust. You'll be wranglin' a band of legendary Heroes and brave Townsfolk to raise your town and fend off them ruthless varmints that plague the frontier.

As the top dog in your settlement, you gotta put the unique talents of your Heroes to work protectin' your folks from notorious gangs like the Daly Gang. Build strong defenses, rustle up powerful allies, put up vital buildings, and manage your grub and gold. Time to tame this wild frontier, where only the bold get to drink from the well!

Here’s some of the things you’ll need to get started on right off the bat:

• Build Your Town - Stake your claim and start adding to your Town, ‘cause it’s your home here in the west.
• Round Up Your Heroes - There’s a lotta interesting characters that you’re gonna meet out here on the range. You’ll need to recruit ‘em and upgrade their skills to put ‘em to work for you.
• Train Your Posse - You’re gonna come across other settlers that may not be so peaceful… Bandits that’ll try to swipe your resources. To protect yourself and your people from these ne’er-do-wells, you’ll need some fightin’ forces.
• Join an Alliance - Link up with other players to share resources, keep each other safe, and participate in great events.

Basic Tips for the Tenderfoot

• Fix your gaze on your Town.
  • First thing's first, you gotta upgrade that Town Center. It's the key to unlockin' better buildings and fancy abilities.
  • Keep your backbone buildings sturdy: Quarry, Lumber Mill, Hospital, Diner, Infirmary, Cabins, Farm, and Furnace.
  • Before you hit the hay, make sure your folks are buildin' and gatherin' resources. Don't let good time go to waste with idle hands!

• Rope in those Daily Tasks and Bounties — they're a goldmine for resources.

• Join an Alliance quicker than a rattlesnake strike.
  • Alliances are your posse—they'll lend a hand with resources, research, buildin', and keep the varmints from raidin' your hideout.
  • Once you're saddled up with an Alliance, ride hard in Alliance Events like Wyatt’s Redemption and the Fiercepaw Besiege. The rewards are usually mighty fine.

• ABR - Always Be Researching.
  • Start with the development Research first; that'll put a rocket on your Town’s progress.
  • You'll have time later to worry about combat Research. Hold your horses until your Town is standin' tall.

• Don't be a greenhorn. Head over to the West Game II Web Store every day and snag your Free Daily Gift. It’s the easiest thing you’ll do all day!
