Buildings you are proud of.

I still have the same 12 towns that I had before the raised levels of version 8.8. Now I would not have corruption in any of them were I to build #13 (i.e. all GRs/Palace upgraded), but I've found little sufficient reason to rush this. Plenty of useful levels to build on those 12 towns... The best island for mill/mine levels near me, one on which I already have 2 towns, is Wine, so I could produce even more of the 1 good I'm not short of for the medium term. So, a "watching brief"...

I'm finally corruption free in my 13th town and it's finally producing a decent amount of wood/crystal after nearly 4 months from when I first planted. You say you have a 13th town ready to go, corruption free? Well let me suggest a productive use for that town while you decide what to do. Use it as a mobile barbarian pillager.

Here's what you do. Plant a mobile on a nearby island where you don't have any other towns. Then from one of your main towns, pillage the barbarian village that's on that mobile island. Pillage it to whatever level you want, and you can reset it back to level 1 whenever you want just by removing the mobile and re-planting. The barbs will never attack your main town, only the mobile, which you're not using for anything anyway. And they can only siphon resources from the mobile island, which again, you're not using xD. Never have to worry about retaliation and you also never have to pay a cease fire. Reset it as often as you want.

I didn't think of this strategy until after starting my 13th town, but I fully intend to do it with #14. Pillaging them to level 39 is really easy even without a forge, and that puts an additional 1.7m resources in your coffers. Minus troop losses and upkeep, which is almost nothing. It starts to become a little more expensive after level 39 into the upper 40's, but the rewards get bigger too. I would avoid level 50 at all costs however, unless you're going for the achievement (defeat lvl 50 on 3 different islands). They start using balloons and gyros at level 50 and it turns into a bloodbath.

But you can rake in an extra 4.7m resources from level 1 to 49. Again, minus troop losses and upkeep. It's still a healthy profit.

Decent/clever strategy, thanks, but not for me. Too much like hard work! I don't doubt it costs in, though.

I don't put much stock into production buildings. If you do the math you get very little benefit, I'd say I'm most proud of maxing out all my reducers. These buildings will save you millions of resources up front and you don't need to wait 10+ years in order to get paid back like you would on production buildings.

Yeah the reduction buildings are a must, especially for GR upgrades. All 5 of them, level 50. By far the most important buildings in this game now, and they're relatively cheap. You're literally pissing resources and points away if you don't have them.

The production buildings are still good though. Yeah the return on investment is horrible, but the buildings themselves are worth a lot of points, and they increase your ability (albeit slightly) to make more resources/points. They're a better investment now than donating to the sawmills and mines. Build the reduction buildings first though lol. In my new 13th town, that's the first and only thing I did for 2 months, upgrade all 5 reduction buildings to level 50.

Quote from God_of_war

Right now my warehouses can hold 30m so those resource conversions we recieved go a long ways in making the necessary resource conversions to marble.

Indeed, I just converted a crap ton of wood/marble into the wine/crystal I needed for GR upgrades with my 30m resource warehouse. And with the freighters, it now doesn't take long to get it shipped around. Well it still takes awhile, but now I can do large chunks at one time instead of needing to be online every 20 minutes to ship 100k at a time lol.

I'm finally corruption free in the 13 towns, so I can finally test the mobile barbarian pillaging strategy out with #14, so I'll let you know how it goes lol. Well not quite yet. I'm busy pillaging a nice juicy inactive account atm, so after that gets ghosted, the MBP will get put into action.

He has it on the Ares3 server (speed 3x).
It can't be counted as "impressive". He has 144M (as he told), so it is basically 48M on normal server. And in every country at least 100 people have this amount of points.

Quote from Wolf of Wall Street

I should have everything ready for the 14th city, next year in the spring. Of course, this period can only be extended, it is very, very difficult for it to be shorter.

Get your boosters higher instead, that's better for the long run IMO.

Quote from Hammer0

if you want to put such buildings here, add the world and the bonuses it has set there, I don't like how noobs from ares post such pictures and try to give the impression of how good they are, among normal worlds, thanks

it's still early to increase boosters if we're talking about level 33 and above.

according to my calculations, it pays players with top mines to build 15th city than increasing boosters.

P.S. I claim that an honest, paying top player (top mines + top income) on normal worlds can build 15 cities by the end of 2023 (without corruption, when he started building the 15th city immediately after raising the palace) anything above, already strongly indicates some form of cheating.

if someone wants to claim the opposite, I'll be happy to beat them with arguments and mathematical calculations

Does Ares3 have 3x incoming from all resources? What exactly are all the bonuses of this server?

Quote from Calisuper

x3 resource production

x3 research points per hour

x3 speed of commercial boats and fleet army

x3 more gold

All construction buildings are 3 times faster, the cost of resources are the same per lvl.

One round of a battle is 5 minutes(instead of 15 minutes).

Gold can be pillaged, every land unit can pillage X gold.

There is no moral in battles, basically you don't need cooks or tenders. Cooks are good for stealing gold.

And probably more others that I don't remember.

Everything is 3 times faster.
Cost is the same. But you have 3 times more resources, 3 times more gold (9 per citizen), 3 times faster ships (pillaging), 3 times faster rounds (5 mins).

Basically everything is 3 times faster. So you can divide the amount of points by 3 and you have the "normal" points.

It is not just bonuses as other new servers have. It is 3 times faster in everything.

Quote from ExtremeBoys

I think this days no point to spend that much resources to make town halls 40+ lvl or museum 20+ just full focus on palace/gr

everyone has their own game plan.
For me, the 14th city was the last one I created. Now just expansion of the cities I have

A lot has changed since August and mainly thanks to this topic I was motivated to build not 14 but 15 cities..
Now it's official!
No more GR expansion for me!

Ladies and Gentlemen 14x14lvl GR :

The more solid the infrastructure in the early stages is, the smoother the expansion will be in future, my strategy.

Please wrote the bonuses of your world.
This is probably Ares? Or bonuses of the classic world plus Christmas bonuses.

Nah, it's Beta .EN. He's good!

A Produktion like that would need something like 60/60 mines and the Production Buildings at 55/51 (Luxury/Wood) or thereabout.

Edit: Forgot the 20% you can activate every 7 days, so the Luxury Building could be at only 45.

Without server bonus?
Christmas bonus was 30%.
I have about 4B donated, levels 57/48 and I have half of it per town - 8500/city (yes, I don't have extra people on the mines).
But even with extra people on mines I could have about 10k, with 20% bonus 10,5k, with 30% Christmas bonus maximum 12k.
How could he have over 16k? What mines he has?
