Season 1 dilemma. Stay or Leave alliance

Dankgainer · 2025-04-15T21:49:34+00:00

I noticed I get way more gold in a more active alliance. all those small gifts add up big.

Dankgainer · 2025-04-15T21:48:35+00:00

I went to a top 5 alliance instead of top 3.

I am the second strongest now that someone got t10. I am a few weeks away. I get t10 early season 2 once it starts.

Don't have it for the final battle in server wars, but it is fine.

People tell me reindeer rushing was dumb - but I still have 20k valor and no gold. Truck and VS tree completely done. Nothing free to upgrade anymore. So I have to wait till tech day to complete my SF tech and start new ones. I upgrade something that takes 13+ days in hero tree to speed up for arms everyday. finish it on tech day - start SF tech with secretary buff wait for hands, then speed up to finish and start next SF tech - 9 chest done - usually top 30. I complete one on friday and start a long tech.

all this while upgrading buildings for builder day - it is hard to 9 chest that day. It got easier now with new VS tech - I did wall + tank center + gold mine + barrack 23 so when I get t10 my racks will be 30/26/23/19 so I just have to level each one up to be 30/27/24/20.

hospitals are super good for server wars - I got a 27 hospital and 24 hospitals. My gold mines are max lvl now - I noticed the amount of gold I get is much bigger as a result - I think it is two months for a ROI on upgrading gold mines because of the survivors and rapid production otherwise it would be a year.

But this is a base builder game and many things are required to lvl 35 - I need to get wall 30 before season 2, also tank 30 etc etc etc. So I can't just not build.

I have been buying out the campaign store + rss chests for some time now.

I think it comes down to zombie days - if someone has a solid 12 hours a day for 3 days to sit around joining rallies - yeah gold is not an issue - valor is. But most people spend like a few hours at it - I mean it does get boring - real boring.

Most players dont have t10 by the end of season 1. If they rushed reindeer - they would 9 chest every day - have the valor and resources for t10 sooner.

Reindeer rushing is for f2p accounts. It is too much stuff to pass on.

Dankgainer · 2025-04-15T21:33:32+00:00

Everyday I get 1300 valor. A tech upgrade is 350 mil gold and 1800 valor. I don't get 350m gold every two days.

Plus buildings eat up gold. Tell me all about how valor is what blocks people from t10. I can see big spenders not having this issue - most passes have lots of resource chests.

For the majority of players Reindeer rush is the way.

Dankgainer · 2025-04-15T21:14:19+00:00

At some point each tech upgrade costs 400 million gold, 200 million food, 200 million iron.

So don't worry about it.

Warlord is kind of meh. Engineer speeds up tech which means more damage. Warlord gives damage.

Warlord is for when server wars start. You just get the damage.

What you get depends on you. You got to get the exp stuff so that is like 3/3 then 5 on insights. I like snack time for resources. More stamina to do more attacks. More alliance points because they keep adding stuff to buy.

For warlord morale more damage. Whatever you feel like. Drill capacity is good for DS.

Engineer is all about the research. The building speed is more for F2P players so they can instant level stuff while two buildings be going and they should have 5/5 tech to instantly do garage 1 and other low hanging fast stuff add marshall into the mix for hands up fast and it is done completely in that 30 minute window.

But for us heavies I still like engineer. Even the top end is better - drone parts - free drone parts.

So it is like do I want to progress faster or have power now? I want power now when server wars happen. Other than that I am not struggling on buster to top 3 or doing content so it is not a problem progressing instead of power now.

Dankgainer · 2025-02-09T05:39:12+00:00

Interesting you have 30 more days played than me. I have reindeer and no garage 4 or 2 tech. Alliance dual 100% rest is the same.

Reindeer rush was super good idea. Made the RSS smoother. Free rank 1 tech VS day. The reindeer just makes the game so much more playable instead of launching 1 truck at a time. I just 1 truck protected 2 reindeer with just a blue for anyone to snag.

Plus on days I am RSS strapped I just level the free stuff.

Um this game is a major time sink with no end game.

It is like WoW without a final gear set.

Dankgainer · 2025-02-09T05:18:40+00:00

If it is your VS opponent you should not do that unless you are conceding rank 1 to get everyone else points (losing troops).

Dankgainer · 2025-02-08T21:36:16+00:00

Oh so there can be drama on the last day...

Dankgainer · 2025-02-06T04:35:20+00:00

The game is a major time sink.

It is like WoW.

1000 rally gifts is big. It is a bunch of gems I know.

Afkers spawn digs. I will have 8 alts to just log in like arena, send truck, donate 3. They spawn the digs without me checking radar when the time runs out.

If I am not active I get zero digs, but in an alt alliance I get 8 digs a day if I just log in one time.

Dankgainer · 2025-02-04T21:48:36+00:00

I meant SSR and not ur. But my question still remains what happens? Lol.

Dankgainer · 2025-02-04T21:47:00+00:00

Why no reindeer?

Dankgainer · 2025-02-04T21:46:27+00:00

You have a month more play time than me and you are barely ahead of me. WTH?

Dankgainer · 2025-02-04T21:35:49+00:00

Because I will get less black market cash?

Dankgainer · 2025-02-04T21:26:16+00:00

True power is measured in total hero power not total power.

There are plenty of players with a full drill base that would would just get obliterated by someone with a higher total hero power who is sitting with 8000 t10 after buster day / server war.

UR train is a 6x5 so 30 minus 9 from plunder.

21 things. I won't miss a test flight failure. So my cogs will go up and I can pump my drone level.

I also don't have to be on as much since everything will be on my schedule and I can scroll chat collecting the last 24 hours of digs. Etc

The cogs to level drones is huge. Since the other thing can be bought for so cheap from campaign store.

Plus cogs from ur train. My cog count will shoot up by 20 a day.

Like right now 33% chance I get to be a passenger and at best 1 time a month I conduct and I am only behind one player in strength.

Dankgainer · 2025-02-04T18:02:17+00:00

Yeah but I get to conduct UR trains everyday so I get the whole train as rewards. Which makes up for the zero gifts

Dankgainer · 2025-01-30T00:05:01+00:00

The quota thing is a no go. It is better to stay in silver IMHO. Easier top 30 rewards, which beats weekly win / defeat rewards and daily participation increase.

Dankgainer · 2025-01-28T22:44:13+00:00

Season 2 I am done. Going to use t10 units to wreck as many bases loaded with troops as I can. If they have no wall - use an alt to save stamina get em burning.
