Abyssal Ambush questions

  • @ Ikariamer,


    I haven't seen any rewards yet for my accounts that participated. What rank did you finish at?

    Turmoil's in the air

    Hold your breath be deadly calm

    Make a final prayer

    Don't forget what you have done

  • It seems not only did the end game crash the servers..it messed up the rank notification & rewards got stuck in a que...GF are in an emergency meeting about it.

    This is only notified on discord, not on the board apparently.

  • I finished 1st and got all the rewards. I had 12738 damage done to the hydra. The servers were laggy for the first 30-40 minutes after the end of the event.

    How many stages did you get through? I wonder if the number of stages also influences the reward.

  • We were on the 6th level. All servers have hydras with adjusted health based on the server maturity. I saw servers that have hundreds of thousands of health, while in my server for instance level 5 had 22k life.

    Did you spend any ambro? And how much did you spend on troops?

  • we hit 8 on (US) beta just shortly before the end


    be curious to see how the ranking shake out on rewards, the resources don't seem worth it but the inventory items are nice, I wonder how fast it trickles off beyond 1st-3rd

  • The recourses seem to be the same for everyone participating. One guy on 13th spot received the same ratio of resources. The difference for the top 3 is the premium items and for rank 1 the title and city animation with the sharks. Thatยดs all there is to it as far as I see. I wasnยดt spending ambro, because as I mentioned I am on very young server (I am 2nd with 35k total score), so it was not possible to produce enough units to attack the hydra non-stop. I was sending attacks like every second hour or so.

    Sometimes the reward is the friends me made along the way <X

    I think it depends on how you play it. If the resources rewards are points*28 for all servers as in Ikariamer server, is not that bad if you played cost effective.

    With 200 Hoplites you can get up to around 950 points. The resources you get in this case are around 4* more than the resources you spent for the Hoplites. And there are another 4-5 troops classes and 3-4 ships classes that are very cost effective and you can switch between rounds depending on units damage percentage.

    Of course if someone throwed most expensive ships there, probably the resource gain is negative.

    IMO finding the combinations with most points every round regardless the cost if good only if you try for the first 3 positions. If you are pleased with just resources reward, the cost effectiveness is the way to go.

  • I just waited for it to show slingers and speers 100% or better and just sent waves of those.. had to fire 14k of them this morning. :S

    I thought it ran the rest of today.. ;(

  • I think for this calculation, even with the hoplites (cost-effective troops), are the 4 resources extra per troop worth the gold you loose for converting a citizen into a hoplite and the wine you lose for maxing out the tavern consumption? Also, if there are people who dish out ambrosia to get top 3, no chance you would get there with hoplites alone or by using only cost effective troops.

  • Yes, but look at how much population you have to sacrifice to throw 200 hoplites at it.


    20 wood, 15 sulfur x 200


    4,000 wood 3,000 sulfur


    13 wood, 2 wine, 3 marble, 1.5 crystal, and 8.5 sulfur


    12350 wood 1900 wine 2850 marble 1425 crystal and 8075 sulfur


    That's profitable at least, but I'm not sure how long it takes to rebuild 200 pop.


    If you have 300 happiness, it takes 54h to fill 200 people? Obviously, that doesn't count burning extra wine to speed it up. This also has a gold loss of ~17k


    That seems about right, 200 bonus is 4 / hour.

  • Considering the event is just 2 days, the gold lost may be worth it, and it's not that much. You can gain around 500k resources or even more if you are active in the event.

    If we are even having an argument about it, it means that itยดs not that much worth it. I feel bad for the guys in the thread that spend thousands of ambrosia on it. It really is a shame.

  • Makes sense, didn't bother calculating myself. Actually the gold loss is compensated by the gold gain. I forgot to write it, but you also get 2.5 gold per damage as you can see in the screenshot, so it looks better already.
