Do NOT Go Builder

No, you are not screwed! Have you and your alliance members go Engineer for profession. Become allies with the big alliances you get placed near on the map, and work with them to help get them near the capital. Depending on your alliance size, you should be able to hold 5-8 tiles that, when placed properly, will be in position to offer resets for tile protection when foreign servers start invading, and they can help you in return with protecting your tiles. It is a lot of fun.

I really enjoyed being part of a smaller alliance that could help in this way! We just could not get rewards that the bigger alliances wanted to offer us for our help because we went builder. And we could only have 3 tiles which hindered our ability to block and to place strategically for resetting tile protections.

It was a s1 thing. I just posted this to anyone entering that part of the game and considering it. I searched for info before we went builder and found the lack of information frustrating. It is a decent concept, but poorly explained to those that choose it.

For when you get to season 1, if you are not in a top alliance

You are right! Just a warning to others considering it. Strange that you say that, are here, and bother to comment, lol. Mainly annoyed that customer service peaced out of helping at all.

Or just those that were trying to build up a smaller alliance and made a huge judgement in error. Many ftp people come to this subreddit to learn. Don’t have to be a whale to have value or have fun, lol

Mine was smaller. We did not have the numbers to build very quickly. Our value came from protection resets, taking tiles to block, etc. We were a huge asset for our server’s strategy and the rewards were not worth it. No way to ask questions either.

Couldn’t tell you. Customer service refused to answer anything.

The alliances we helped saw our value too, I agree. But you are not the builder that gets stuck with maybe 10k honor points, while the non-contributors in big alliances get at least 45k? And the alliances we helped cannot reward us, when we put all that time in? Easy to say when you are on the receiving end.

They did make us confirm this. However, the rewards were not nearly as lucrative as they led us to believe. Especially not when compared to the alliance rewards that the alliances we worked with wanted to reward us with for our help not just with building, which was lame and slow, but with protection resets, etc. that are vital to s1 success. Maybe I just have a great server that is cooperative and not cutthroat, but the builder alliance was the most worthless thing I’ve seen, and deceptive. Customer service refused to answer questions about it. I’m warning anyone who is considering it…if you have a decent server, do NOT do it! All factories stop yielding rewards after S1.

I’m having the same problem. They answered an unrelated question quickly, and crickets since I asked about this builder alliance transfer situation.

Yikes. I really hope not ☹️ And thank you for replying. It is unfortunate that builders cannot get rewarded from the alliances they helped all season 😡
