I am on S50, but i was talking about S53.
My crowns have not sold in about 5 days at 500k. they are now at 450k as people keep putting their crowns in lower than mine, lol
but no one is buying.
BP is still up on S53.
you should expect to invest at least 6 months into this game. With that in mind, it should now be clear that your neighbor who is rank 2 will be planning to spend that time as well.
It took me 4 days of playing before hand to hold rank 4 position for about a week, in a new server sometimes going up to rank 1.
But after my 30 coins ran out i just slipped away, there is no point trying to be up there, the faster you rank up early the harder it is later on if you dont have the coins behind you to keep you up there.
Im sure that there is not a thing that i dont know that someone who has been playing 6 months knows over me.
Other than maybe his battle experiance is better, meaning that there is a chance that he might pull off some strategy that i dont know how to react to.
I mean combat experiance not actual moving of troops between cities.
Unless that person has studied all the stats of the game. But thats more general knowledge rather than game knowledge. Just becuase he knows the formula for calculating pres gained when a lv 9 attacks a lv6 and kills 100 cats doesnt mean he knows more than me in game.
But my point is 2 crowns are uselss to me, i would have still rather had the 80k money and kept the 20 coins.
But even with that there is no way i can stand up to him.
If someone offered me a crown if i was rank 2 i would know he is just trying to get protection, especially if he is right next to me.
I would attack him as i know he is scared and so knows i have more troops than him.
if he is producing 1k an hour, so thats total of 4k res an hour.
2 months you said...
Thats a total of 5,760,000 resources.
at a ratio of 0.5 thats still 2,880,000 money.
Which is more than 500k, which means its better to turn him into a farm.
so... 5.7 million resources or a crown?
But what i personally would do is say i will take both crowns off you for 500k, he sells both crowns, wait about a week, then turn him into a farm when he has more troops so more pres. and producing say 2k res an hour, so total of 8k.
so 2 months minus 7 days...
thats 10.176 million res, and you get the crowns.
No contest, this game is too unballanced to people who spend more money on coins.
There is no way that i am going to mail him. My best bet is just to stay lv0 hope he never sees me as a threat or someone worth farming and attacking., never rank up until i can get to lv10 when i just start a new world.
Where something similar will happen... eventually.
Its not like these people are desprate for resources, its almost like it isnt really part of the game for them. As they just use coins.
He is occupying a lv4 oasis, yet he is lv 10.
I scouted him, he has 300-400k of each resource.
Note:BP is still on.
Its stupid the amont of resources people can get.
So as a rule, i think its always best to go for the NPC trade in, as you need coins more, unless you have alot of coins, in which case open them.
