| Avilyn Quote | Reply | | How does this sound? posted on: 7/1/2003 12:21:38 AM This is what I am aiming for at 2000 Acres. Buildings Homes: 27% Farms: 7% Factories: 12% Ore Mines: 2.5% Diamond Mines: 22% Treasuries: 14% Lumberyards: 3% Towers: 5.5% Docks: 2% Incoming: 5% (Yes, I like to account for this) Just started building up factories. If I stay on schedule, I should have 3 times as many boats as I need when/if I convert, which should protect me from being sunk (I hope). The Treasuries were built mainly to protect against early round plat theives. No more will be built. Military 3000 Grunts 0 Underlings 10000 Beasts 10000 Overlords 0.5 Wizard Ratio 0.7 Spy Ratio Grunts would be used for clearing the occasionally inactive so my atacking realmies don't have to. My defense may be breakable, but there should be much better targets to be found. Improvements 8% Science 15% Keep 0% Towers 0% Forges 10% Walls 10% Irrigation I'll start focusing on Irrigation as my population begans to soar. Keep, Walls, and then Science in priority after that. Technological Advancements Farmer's Growth Miner's Refining Going for bankers foresight at 2250. At 3000 acres I plan on converting to masonries. Buildings Homes: 33% Farms: 7% Factories: 12% Ore Mines: 2.5% Diamond Mines: 27% (800) Lumberyards: 2.5% Towers: 5% Docks: 2% Masonries: 9% Masonries will grow from the Diamond Mines. By now I will have decided whether or not I want to convert to attacking, and will either drop the docks or the factories (if I'm attacking factories aren't as good, and as fun as they are, docks aren't that good for explorers). Military 3000 Grunts 0 Underlings ~21000 Beasts ~21000 Overlords 0.5 Wizard Ratio 1.0 Spy Ratio Certainly, from this far off, I won't be able to tell how much DP I'll need at 3000. I based these numbers on what I had last round. I feel the spys are important, as people continue to try and steal from me constantly. Improvements (by order of investment amount) Keep Irrigation Walls Sciece It's hard to say how high they will be since there are many factors that influence how fast I grow. Technological Advancements (the new one) Caravan Leader (If I choose to explore the rest of the round) Commander's Insight (If I choose to attack) I don't think that aiming for the 5% pop bonus is going to be very benifitial. I have yet to get that high in land in my previous rounds. Also, I have such high pop bonuses already (should be at least 60% I think) that the extra 2% and then 5% won't make that big of a difference. At least not when compared to the platinum I would save on exploring and troop loses. So what do you think? Are there any areas that seem like they could use improvement? If you do suggest something, please give me an explanation as to why. I want to become a good player; not a good follower. Thanks! |

replied on: 7/1/2003 11:31:08 AM I like the fact that you are building troops to clear inactives. So many explorers could do so much better OOP if they had just a couple hundred spec attackers. If you're an active player, I don't think you'll need the treasuries in the beginning. People can't steal what you don't have.  Why convert at 2k acres? Why not explore for another 2 days, get your 10% plat bonus, then convert? I think you're probably right about the pop bonus tech. Unless you plan to explore all round that is. Otherwise, it looks like you've put much thought into it. Good luck!
