If you haven't heard, referrals no longer take a 5% cut out of your gains and will be a bonus to the referral. While I was unable to get an explanation of how I was told by the team having someone referred will benefit both parties.
Unfortunately, the referral link didn't work and many people didn't get credit for their referrals. You are able to go into your account and elect someone as the one who referred you. You can only do this for the next 7 days by going into help and entering in the referral in this box.
If you found out about the game through my post, you can use themarkymark as your referral. You are free to choose whoever you want but after the next 7 days you will no longer be able to choose a referral and it will only work through the referral link.
If you haven't tried the game, it is a lot of fun and is basically a clone of the old Mafia Wars game that was extremely popular in the '90s. By playing the game you can earn Steem by increasing your drug production or providing drugs for the daily heist.
The current prize pool for Sunday is over 6,000 Steem!
Strategies
I recommend upgrading evenly and not just focusing on drug production. While this is not the most efficient for short term gains, over the long term it will allow you to purchase more troops or get more upgrades for free.
You are able to play without spending any Steem, but by spending 50-200 Steem you will dramatically increase the rate your character snowballs. This is important for increasing your drug production quickly in comparison to other players.
You will want to upgrade your storage as soon as possible, you are only protected for up to 10% of your maximum storage, so the higher your maximum capacity, the more protection you have.
Clans
Clans are being added to the game and will be announced soon. From what I understand it will be a very large part of the gameplay and very central to the game mechanics. No further details have been released but I believe will be announced in the next major update.
Battles are currently disabled and will be re-enabled for the next update with a 24-48 hour heads up.
If you want to use my referral link to sign up, you can find it here:

You can also just use themarkymark if you are already signed up.
See you on the battlefield!

Awesome post mark! So Far I'm progressing somewhat well for myself. Some buildings level 4. Wish I could Just Instant upgrade my drug production a tad bit thou to keep up with demand. 170k Would be pretty dope
It gets expensive really quick. The first 2-3 tiers are efficient, then after that, it gets very inefficient.
Yeah, I was a little disappointed in that. But I know it can't be too too good.

I think the referrals only didn't work for some people. I just checked mine, and it says @acidyo. So mine managed to work.
I don't really get why they wouldn't be able to script in a fix for anyone that wasn't referred correctly. The URL should be in the server logs. Well...if there server has logs... Okay...maybe they didn't set up their server to take a log of the incoming URL for some reason.
I agree with you about the spending in the beginning. Though now, after playing it for a bit, I wish I had thought more about the percentage with upgrades and focused more on the high level buildings. With battles disabled, now is the time to save up for the highest level buildings you can get, unless you do the math and figure a lower one will get you more upgrading now than waiting.
I know of 4 people (one of my alts) and 3 others who know for sure they used my referral and none of them showed up as a referral. The devs said this is a known problem and nothing they can do about it now but allow you to specifically choose a referral for a week.
It's hard to get some of the higher buildings without upgrading storage pretty high due to the caps, so if you are saving up make sure you check your storage limits, but you have at least 24-48 hours before you are at risk of an attack, so it's pretty safe to save up.
Keep in mind though today's daily is 5% heist and 5% daily, so depositing Drugs is five times more rewarding than normal.
Yeah, I have been upgrading my silos for when battles are re-enabled. Guess that's lucky, because the bigger building require HUGE amounts of resources.
Depositing drugs doesn't pay off that well compared with keeping them normally to upgrade a building, so I wonder how much it will help now with the bonus.
There you go since I seen your post about the game first!

Yeah it’s pretty cool game. Im happy their making more improvements and it was smart to stop the battles for a certain time. I don’t understand how some people got so many units so fast.
I wonder if anyone even tried my referral link when I posted. Guess I’ll never know now. 🤣 Thanks for bringing it up to get it fixed at least.
