how do I get a higher rank

to get a higher rank you need to have a higher score

you can get score from workers, conquers, and your army and crystals
have more workers you get more score
more conquers= more score too
bigger army= more score
more crystals= more score

so try and get those things then you can have a higher rank

or if you play M3, relocate near me, remove your protection and I promise I'lll protect you from any other attacks from other players!

Dont do that.He just wants to conquer you.He is trying to trick you.

BTW,That trick is mine.I used that to conquer a guy with 7 crystals.He thought I was a gal and wanted me to be his GF.I said I would if he relocated next to me.Je did and I got 7 more crystals.

manipulators...
(i would've done the same too though...)

25 workers = 1 power
1 conquer = 1 power
10 soldiers = 1 power

1 infantry = 1 soldier
1 vehicle = 2 soldiers
1 tank = 3 soldiers

1 power = 10 score
1 crystal = 20 score
1 relic = 1000 score

I hope this help =)

lol, do it anyways, Pbleebait can't do anything about it.

Like the others said, conquers, crystals, relics. population and army size all contribute to rank. I would suggest raising your rank through army size (build units) and population (don't rush units and don't build unnecessary outposts) first, as they are the easiest.
