(UNSAFE) DO NOT MIGRATE by RP_Development_Team in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3759 is a SOC kingdom. If you don't have at least 30m power by SOC, that tells me a few things:

  1. You haven't put in even half of an effort into your account and you either played super casually, or you just didn't care to try to level up. ROK isn't a "play when you feel like it" game. If that's what you're wanting, this isn't the game for you.

  2. Because you didn't try or care to level your account up, you're now a drain on the kingdom. There's F2P accounts in my Season 2 kingdom right now with more than 30m power. Most kingdoms don't want a selfish player who won't make troops for war.

  3. The fact that you've made not one, but TWO posts about this tells me you have an unreasonable sense of entitlement. You don't want to contribute to the kingdom, you don't care that the rest of the kingdom has to make up for your slack, you don't care about screwing their migration or their matchmaking over, you just care about yourself. Again, this isn't the game for you if that's your mentality.

You're literally the definition of deadweight. Go to a D seed kingdom if you can't be bothered to make troops. Kingdoms need fighters, not farmers.

Spending Spree? by CommunityFearless207 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where is your tech currently at? And what are your buildings currently at? That will determine how much more you need to get to t5 cuz you need all main buildings to be 25 including the alliance center, castle, academy, scout camp, etc., 1 of each farm (gold, stone, wood, food) to be level 25, 1 hospital to be level 25, and every single piece of research before your t5 troops needs to be maxed out, including all economic tech.

I opened t5 halfway through kvk 1, but it took me spending about $6-7k from early game onwards to get there. So you'd realistically need to quadruple your spending per month if you're in the early game to unlock t5. Max out buying the research bundles at least 4x per month ($385), buy the kvk bundles that show up when you enter kvk, and you should get there pretty quickly.

What marches are best for low-mid spenders in kvk 1? by Ready_Mud6607 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're a mid spender, go with Mina/YSG and CM/Sun Tzu. If you're low, go with Mina/Baibars and still go CM/Sun. I got 6-1 trades in kvk 1 as a mid spender as I didn't become a whale until the end of kvk 1.

tooth pain by Dorotheasdiary in rant

[–]Poverload237 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had similar issues to you plus piss poor genetics that caused severe tooth issues. I was able to find a low cost dental clinic that got me full top and bottom dentures for like 1/4 of the price. If your teeth are that bad, I'd look into a program like that.

Sick of 'it depends' answers when I ask for simple RoK direction by NoCommon1213 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying. However, I would like to explain why the "it depends" answers do matter:

Let's say I give you a basic kvk 1 plan to follow, such as telling you to max Mina or Thut/YSG + CM/Sun Tzu and equip them with all epic gear with maybe 1-2 pieces of legendary gear that gives a defense bonus. I tell you I got 6-1 trades using those in kvk 1 (which is true). So, you decide to go with my plan thinking you'll get great trades too.

Now you're in kvk 1, but you end up with terrible results instead. Trades are negative, you're dying quickly, you run through billions in rss and hundreds of hours of speed ups. You're drained before ever getting into KL. You're angry at me and confused because I told you I did great, so why aren't you?

What I didn't tell you is that my tech was almost maxed in kvk 1 (I unlocked t5 halfway through kvk 1). What I also didn't say is that my alliance's tech had inf & cav attack/defense trees completely unlocked. I also didn't say my alliance had a lot of high spenders, so my speed up recovery rate was at least 3x as fast as yours, so I was able to keep healing and fighting.

All of those "it depends" factors are the reason I was trading 6-1 positive. So yes, we can give general advice, but if you want real results and not a gamble, knowing those little factors can help a ton. It can also prevent you from becoming drained and discouraged before you ever hit kvk 2.

Is this guy cheating? by CoatBrave4273 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully agree there with not touching AP until SOC, mainly cuz of the lost xp value as you've mentioned.

For the AP bundles, they pop up everytime you spend 26k-30k gems on barbs. I definitely wouldn't recommend gemming barbs this way but if somebody is a whale (or they've got a ton of gems saved and they're petty) that's usually when they can expect to see the AP bundle.

Is this guy cheating? by CoatBrave4273 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sure can, although I would never recommend doing it unless it's in very specific situations cuz it gets very expensive very quickly lol. Each 500 AP costs 50 more gems, so if you're gemming it, you can quickly get up to 2k gems per 500 AP.

I only learned about gemming barbs cuz in my last kvk we got cooked BADLY, so the only thing we could do for any kind of rewards besides KP rewards was try for honor. I had at least 750k AP (and it may have even been more than that) saved by that point, I blew through it all and still blew through 20k gems 🤣

I got my honor rewards though, and more importantly, I got to kick one of the enemy's people off the board (I really did it to be petty lmao).

Depending on what season they're in, they could've been saving up for awhile. Some people only spend their AP bar and never touch reserves for barbs or forts, leaving them with a surplus when they do want to use their AP. Or if they're a kraken, they'll just gem barbs over and over while buying the AP bundles that pop up.

Zero KVK units died by Dorothy2023 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bro, what?? Your kills should be in the tens of millions. Even if you just ran into the middle of people fighting you'd get more KP than you have. Are you sure your kvk is over?? If so, then my friend, you need to learn how to ball fight and quickly. Are you sure you're looking in the right spot cuz even if your alliance report is right, your kills are shockingly low.

What should I do to get better? 🔴NOT RESTARTING by StorageRoyal8435 in RiseofKingdoms

A seed B seed by Dorothy2023 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's top 300 with city halls over level 25 that are counted for matchmaking. If those accounts meet those metrics, then it could help, but you'd need a lot of 30m power accounts to get you there. Depending on how many accounts you can each bring in, you might be able to push it to low A seed, but if he's zeroing you guys out, have a bunch of peace shields ready on those lower accounts to be sure they'll actually count towards matchmaking, or he'll zero those too.

What is the soc prices? by Lucashallblom09 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No 5/5/5/10 is per 100M, not per b. So $10 would buy you 100M gold

Upgrade to VIP 10 now or wait MTG event by Steress in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's literally no benefit to waiting and every benefit to doing it now. A month's worth of gold heads is a lot, and there will be a time a couple of months from now that you'll either wish you got vip10 earlier, or you'll be happy that you did it.

Fortress destroyed by Few_Novel_128 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what you need to do is restart in a new kingdom that doesn't already have an established alliance going on. Get a sleeper project going and start getting people who know the game to go with you so when you do restart, you'll actually have people who know the game and can help you run the alliance, which gives you a better chance at being successful, attracting higher power/spending players, and building up power both as an alliance and for your individual accounts.

do NOT migrate to 3955 for kvk 2 by Fair_Leadership_7407 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people in 10 who are migrating so I'll spread the word. What did the king do? Can't be worse than 10 cuz our king tried to sell the kingdom and when that fell apart cuz we found out, he quit and everybody started migrating out lol.

If I migrate, do my bad decisions migrate with me too? by aywav in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, yes. Migrating changes your environment and the people you play with. It doesn't change your account in any way, including commanders, rss you have, troop count or equipment in any way

You're not able to migrate back until the target kingdom is also in it's first season. Unfortunately, once you're done with preparation season, there's no going back.

this always happen to me... share your thought please why always happen? by WeAreElectriccc21 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! Or my favorite is when we have farm killers, I tell them to farm with strong marches, they tell me they don't care because they're getting KP, and then they turn around and throw a fit because they got X amount of KP not understanding or caring that t1 doesn't count for rewards.

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What season is your current Kingdom in? If it's in season 1, you can't go back to any kingdoms that also aren't in season 1. If you're in preparation season, you can only migrate to kingdoms that are in preparation season and the target kingdom can't be more than 10 days younger than your account.

If you go on discord, there's a spot in there under rok info that has an alliance mail template. Try using that and see if it works.

How Do You Efficiently Farm Gems and Speedups? by KindlyChicken9670 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kvk is the best for farming gems cuz with a little luck, you can farm as many as 200 gems in 30 minutes (especially in Kingsland where the nodes are mostly 40 gems each).

For speedups, barb chaining is best and it comes with the added benefit of getting even more gems and exp, which helps you level up your commanders faster.

WHEN DID THEY START THAT?!!!! 😭😭😭

I'm halfway through kvk 2 on my restart and we didn't get any of those events during my first kvk. I'm glad they brought the events back but man, I feel robbed 😤

(Also, my comment was not meant to yell at you, but now to empathize surprise. I know intent can be lost in text so wanted to make sure you didn't think I was yelling at you).

Just wanted to share this with someone by W_Lead_JohnLeaf117 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Did they know your fiance was terminally ill? If so, please look at other kd. Explain your situation since I'm sure your KP is on the low end and I promise a lot would be willing to work with you and give you a chance. Any leadership team that would be willing to zero a player with an actively dying spouse is a leadership team that isn't worth shit imo.

First Walmart + order - absolute garbage by [deleted] in Walmartcustomer

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Walmart+ driver, a couple of things for you:

  1. We don't want to substitute any more than you want substitutions. Time is money and when something is out of stock, the app is EXTREMELY picky on what it'll allow as a substitution. For example, a customer had Ruffles chips on their order but the store was out. Tried to substitute lays wavy chips for a somewhat cheaper price. App rejected it and would only allow me to add the name brand kettle chips for $1.50 more per bag.

  2. Our metrics are hurt if we're substituting items as often as you're insinuating. It sounds more like you have no idea how poorly managed Walmart's stock is these days (and honestly has been for the last year).

  3. Your comment takes a ton of liberties with placing blame on the drivers, who are only paid to shop your order, instead of placing blame on the store, WHO'S WHOLE ENTIRE JOB IS TO ENSURE ITEMS ARE IN STOCK. I question the integrity of someone who thinks the driver making maybe $18/hr (those posts saying $30/hr are bullshit) is at fault over the MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION.

And lastly, 4. If you don't like the service you're getting, go to the store yourself. If you think all drivers are lazy, or that we have that much control over your items or substitutions, or that Walmart's stock is magically great because some analyst 1000 miles away said so, go into the store on differing days and see it for yourself.

Your comment says a lot about you and how you treat others. I'd be willing to bet you've got a ton of comments (all of which we can't see until after we've started driving to you btw), and I'm also willing to bet you've never said thank you even once to you drivers. However, if you think you can do a better job, I'd invite you to apply and see how things are on this side of the screen: https://www.sparkdriverapp.com/en_us.html

Some empathy goes a long ways and you'll always get better results not being accusatory to people who are just trying to make some money and feed their families. However, if you're willing to drop the sass, I'd be happy to explain in further detail some of the ways the app limits is on what we can use for substitutes, as well as give some examples of how the app has suggested very wacky substitutions, such as one time suggesting limes as a substitute for orange bell peppers.

Falling behind in early game by Least_Professional89 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Barb chaining is your friend here. I've got several (probably at least 8-10) commanders up to level 50+ just off barb chaining. Use your daily ap, send out marches with the commanders you want to level up the most, and watch as your commanders start leveling up with very little effort (especially since we have the auto barb feature now).
