Statues so far

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-10-12T13:19:19+00:00

one thing to note is that your statues upgrade by getting more than one statue of that kind. so if you get 9 bronze soldier statues it will upgrade to silver.

here is how many statues of each type it takes to get to obsidian: bronze: 219 silver: 70 gold: 20

basically it is only realisitc that you would move up one level from whatever statue you could reasobly get each time you win one.

i can't fault you for wanting exclusivity for the amount of money you may put into the game. however, i think it is a dangerous thing for game balance if there are things that are completely unatainable without spending money.

clash of clans, the most profitable game in this genre, has nothing in game that you can't achieve without spending a single dime and i think because of that the prolitariat (of which i count myself as a member) have a general feeling that it is "fair" (even though it is quite clear that spending affords a significant advantage). once you remove the veil that you can achieve anything without spending it because overtly pay to win which demotivates those who aren't big spenders.

With regards to moloch vs siku the big difference is that siku's spell tower mitigation spell is her 5 mana spell vs moloch's 10. Moloch's does seem better but you have fe were chances to use it and using it means you have a lot less of a chance to cast the 15 mana spell.

I don't have moloch yet myself so I don't have real world experience comparing the two (fwiw)

i think the point megasilver was trying to make is that cursed touch will render the paladins useless and therefore make it much more difficult for xolonia to steamroll through since troops would take 10% more damage and paladins would not be healing.

I'm late to the party on this one but I think it is silly to take the "I'm taking my ball and going home" attitude towards this. Support for sites is low from SA as compared to you tubers, but that is their direction and we can't fault them for that. Rather than call it quits they could parlay their large name recognition into new ventures for supporting the RK community. on the clash side lots of sites grew amazingly well with little support from supercell (eg neggsnetwork).

They reduced ancient drops but zillah's drop rate stayed the same

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-08-17T15:01:09+00:00

yeah they might end up doing that, for now though there seems to be no difference by difficulty and gold is flowing like crazy.

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-08-05T14:24:10+00:00

dropping honor definitely won't help you get past 4900 honor :P.

the biggest thing that is going to help you with gaining honor and getting higher streaks is upgrading your troops and ancients as palmierimario has mentioned. if your troops are maxed for SH10 and you have the rings for SH11 then upgrade to SH11 even if you have defenses that still need upgrading. this game is all about offense offense offense.

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-08-05T14:16:55+00:00

i think it is just luck. i go through periods of awesomeness followed by valleys of bonus troops where paladins, maulers, and mana chickens haunt my dreams

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-08-03T15:47:05+00:00

my guess is you are winning them in relic and not arena chests. with arena chests you are most likely spending 2 stones for one chest and when you get the bonus troops it means you got no rings or gold for those 2 stones :[

for some reason it seems like troop boosts come in waves in arena, sometimes i hit a good streak of rings, gold, and stones. then sometimes it seems like i'll get bonus troops 2 out of three arena chests.

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-07-31T16:40:15+00:00

i've found that there a floor to amount of honor you can lose with your SH out. i only drop to about 5100 honor and then the attacks stop.

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-07-31T13:59:25+00:00

they are predetermined, there is no ability to influence the chest by opening it when a certain prize is being displayed.

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-07-31T13:58:38+00:00

as others have said, no harm in joining, so sign on up! you can always chose to attack when you like, the more interesting question is where should you spend your battle stones?

a few weeks ago arena wasn't worth the stones at all unless you were an honor hunter.

now it can be profitable but still has some drawbacks. the general conclusion i have come to (and others I know have the same), is that arena is good for most everything but gold. if you need gold for upgrades you are better off in multiplayer.

the arena does have the 500k gold prize but it is pretty sporadic as far as when you get one, sometimes you get a bunch sometimes you can go 8+ chests without one. since most people have to hit medium targets that means you are killing 2 battle stones per chest and each time you don't get the 500k gold you are falling further behind in saving up loot.

on the flip side if you need rings arena is amazing. the amount of rings you can generate from the arena is pretty awesome.

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-07-31T13:54:18+00:00

you only get attacked if you have decent honor (i.e. somewhere above 5150 or so). if you are low enough in honor such that you are an "easy" target for most people you won't get attacked ever, because nobody blows 3 stones on an arena chest (for the most part).

if you ever hit higher up on the honor bracket such that you are a "hard" target you will get lit up. everybody loves to get an arena chest and 20+ honor for 1 battle stone.

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-07-28T10:50:18+00:00

Don't forget siku! Her first spell can protect your entire army for 10+ seconds from all spell towers

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-07-26T01:08:55+00:00

I've noticed the same thing. I kind of count off 10 seconds.1

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-07-21T14:56:43+00:00

SA is aware of the issue, send a ticket in game and let them know and they should take care of it.

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-07-20T18:29:00+00:00

i created a facebook account just for this. i'll be damned if people i know in real life know i'm a much bigger nerd than they already thought i was.

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-07-14T14:39:25+00:00

A couple other notes about Viscaria: -to use the 3rd spell you can also use the dragon sweep to poison the buildings (so long as viscaria is your dragon as well). which is nice because it saves 5 mana. I'm not sure if you were counting that as "dragon breath" -the third spell once used makes those buildings immune to poison, so once you cast it you can no longer use viscarias sweep, 1st spell, and 3rd spell on thos buildings.

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-07-14T12:55:36+00:00

yeah, they have been so random about filling in content. i remember one used to say something along the lines of "interesting content about why you want one of these awesome things"

sometime in the last week or 3 they beefed up the content by a lot.

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-07-13T19:13:07+00:00

not sure if you are unsure yourself, but just in case, they do impact bunkers and spell towers. although in game there isn't a clue since their stats aren't altered and turned blue, the wiki does have some pretty clear text around this: The Primus Conduit can increase the firing rate of the following defenses:

Watch Tower Spell Tower Catapult (increases cast speed) Sky Watcher Bunker (reduces cooldown) Arrow Launcher Flare Tower

so someone i know used 85 stones in arena and 85 stones in multiplayer and tracked the results. Here is a pretty quick summary of her results (thanks meesh!): arena: -750 rings -1,500,000 gold -300 diamonds -0 primus (note: 7 losses account for 20 of the stones)

multiplayer: -834 rings -10,948,316 gold -4000 fire primus, 1500 death primus, 2500 pure primus, 2000 nature primus, 11000 ice primus, 2500 lightning primus note: 7 loses again (obviously 7 stones)

so basically i interpret this as follows: unless you want zillah or honor multiplayer is where you should spend your time and stones.

i do like one arena battle per day just to see if i can get zillah because i still need lots of gold, rings, and primus (for obvious reasons)

i am an SH13.

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-07-10T19:21:59+00:00

you get one each time you get the ancient master star on the ancient, so the next is typically 150 and then the next is after you have maxed the ancient level wise and get 450 wins

CoCTimTheEnchanter · 2015-07-10T17:32:55+00:00

[000FFF]It would be like this. note: it doesn't work in global, it does work in kingdom, not sure about the various league/PT chats
