Empires & Allies Cheats and Tips: A Power-Ups Guide

Empires & Allies Cheats and Tips - Who knew that combat in a Facebook game could actually be interesting? Well, Zynga has arguably achieved the impossible in Empires & Allies with a turned-based combat system that relies on brief strategy and lots of explosions to keep players engaged. But another engrossing aspect of combat in E&A is Invasions, more specifically the Power-Ups earned from them.

As players invade their friends or visit them to help, their Infamy or Honor will increase, respectively. At certain milestones, power-ups are granted to the player that cost Empire Points to use, but boy are some of them worth it. There's just something about clicking that big green button during a battle and watching the explosions that's simply satisfying. Without any further delay, here is everything you need to know about every Power-Up in the game:
