Idle Army Base: Tycoon Game is a strategy based combat game. It offers extensive contents and resources for players to interact with. And the connection between those resources and players are usually the in-game currencies, which are mainly the gold and stars. In general, in-game currencies are used for army base development, expansion and upgrades. This guide gives detailed information on the functions of gold and stars, as well as the sources of both two currencies.

Gold can be consumed on the expansion of occupation for training bases; it can also be spent on the increase of harbor leveling. There are five major sources of gold. 1) players are awarded with gold when the training of individual cadet is complete, and they graduate from the alumni camp. 2) sending soldiers to the battlefield also awards players with gold. 3) wining the war. 4) successful fulfillment of in-game objectives and achievements. 5) watching adds. It should be noted that there is another way of gaining gold. Namely, when running the game offline, cadets are still training and making profits for the camp, which can be claimed when players are online again. However, this method generates gold fairly slowly. It is therefore suggested that players run the game online.

Star is another important and potent in-game currency. Stars are often used on upgrades, new equipment such as ships and other power-ups. Likewise, there are also five methods of gaining stars. 1) to accomplish each game achievement; 2) winning the battlefields and wars; 3) purchase extra stars with real money from the in-game store. 4) watching five consecutive ads within 24 hours awards players with 5 stars. 5) alternatively, staying online for five consecutive hours within 24 hours also wins 5 stars.

To conclude, in-game currencies (gold and stars) are the major engines for army base expansion and troop upgrades. Players should try to balance their income and spending of both currencies; at the same time, they should also try to diversify their sources of currencies.
