Keeping Up

Currently i am trying to keep up with the coin buyers and those who started a little earlier than me on the server. Are there any ways that i could keep up with them and maybe even get higher in the ranks.

Thanks

Only really one viable Thing to do: loads and loads of time.
Farm more, build more, scout more.

I'm rank 9 on server 57 and was a couple of weeks late starting (and was my first server so started even slower)
Very very limited coin buying - 800 or so. (nothing compared to the other top 30ish players)

So u only bought 800 coins and are ranked 9?! wow! thats awesome!
And what do u recommend spending coins on if i bought say 800 like u did?

The crop in your Main is handy (and you cant lose it)
Speed enchancements are helpful (I wouldn't attack people with higher if they were online and had an army) though mine are nearly all from hunting stones. (multiple small hunts)

Save afew incase you need to withdraw.

Warping isn't recommended - uses loads.

I never move city's when I take them. If someone is going to take one Of my city's it's not to hard to find them. (spead out but a farm all close enimys from them.

I got all my lvl15 equiptment from more coin happy people in my alliance (offered them max Market price)

I normally just use my coins for things that last. (not war refuse, VIP, res enhance ect)

Also if you are going to buy coins wait for a coin sale (get the most for your money)

Hope this helps!

Build a large cav army to avoid warping,but not all caves build some cats or arch as your long ranged defender. Cav is easy to use. If you do buy coins save a few for a few warps. But set a goal like ex. I'm only gonna warp for 30k+. Crop is ok to spend coins on but not the best probably. I highly recommend item enhancement(only enhance horse,manual). I'd buy VIP for sure it helps with that extra slot. But building also gives you a good amount of pp too. If I had 5 cities and I filled them up once and then trained any troops I'd aproximately get 12k pp. So move to a nice farming area and farm like crazy. But to tell you the truth the only way to stay ahead of those maniacs is to be on 24/7 and scout 24/7
Good luck

If i dont use coins on crop what should i use them for? and what do u mean by nice farming area? and also how would i look after an army that is over 150k crop consumption without upgrading crop with coins

Well it's a little different on your server as yours is newer. I'd move to a large cluster of cities. They are probably active but a few good wipes should send them packing then you can farm galore. Just wait to a city fills up and then raid it. No offense but I just think coining crop is a waste. It does not benefit you prestige. What does crop do? Spend a few hundred coins and you can support 1k more caves? Enhancing it isn't bad if you start to get a large army. It's all about prestige when your trying to keep up with these guys. So as I said item enhancement is a good use and so is warping. I know it costs alot but I think it is worth it. Let me know if there's anything else

So u mean enhance crop? and i am in a large cluster of citys (lvl 0s) and some in my alliance. So do u mean raid lvl 0s aswell? i also have a few lvl 6s and 3s

get speed over 80+ build 2000 cavs farm lvl 1 forts u can hit a lvl 1 from 20-30 mins away no prob with cav

ok at the moment i have 87 speed (max for my lvl) lvl 15 every equipment (level 10 ring). What do reccomend getting in stats when my speed is 100 and also do i get archers aswell?
