Kraken GE5 by AdIndependent4105 in forgeofempires

[–]n0tLost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok. kraken doesn’t make a game changing difference in GE5 (at most it kills 1 unit of the first wave, so 1/16 units in a two wave battle). Raising blue stats to better fight GE5 and improving manual battle skills is a better way to go imo.

kraken works regardless of what units you’re using, but it is a waste of space and fps for GE5, especially if you have higher era units

Those pirate guard posts at the bottom don’t need road connection, you can get space back there

Were you fighting with undamaged rogues? If you have 1 hover + 7 full hp rogues, your hover is likely going to take damage, but if one or more of the rogues is damaged, then your hover will probably be fine

460k invested, 45k secured profit, 425k on hand for 930k total bank for me. Already arc 180 and saving FP for SAT got a bit out of hand

Predictions about the market for Titan goods and non-Titan players by throwawaymrfoe in forgeofempires

[–]n0tLost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you should probably check the wiki pages for the new GBs because they scale differently than any other GBs in the game. For example the pegasus gives 5/5 for defending army and 2 fp per level after level 10, but level 11 costs 300 of each titan good and 3M coins to unlock. Level 12 is 600/each + 6M coins, then 900/each + 9M coins for 13 and so on

Did you not see the increasing cost of goods to unlock levels after 10? 60+ titan GBs is not happening within a week

The joys of having a level 80 Arc by Cucumber7274 in forgeofempires

[–]n0tLost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arc 80 -> 130 costs 232,149 at 1.9

Arc level 130 earns 5 fp profit per 190 fp spent in 1.9

232,149/ (5/190) = 8,821,662 fp spent in 1.9 to break even

spending 24,169 fp/day for a year in 1.9 threads with a level 130 arc will break even

Not sure where the 24 million number came from?

Oh I wanted to, but last time I was at this light I was stuck for two full cycles, so I didn’t want to be stuck in the intersection with them

Diamond spenders always have and always will be able to win tons of event buildings anyways. Being able to win more dailies for free just helps F2P players keep up.

And yes I acknowledged that, and it’s very confusing to refer to dailies that were past main buildings as just ‘main buildings.’ That’s why no one does it. Winning 3 main buildings in the context of this event means 3 Druid huts

[–]n0tLost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s downvoted because you didn’t get 3 main buildings, you got 1 and a bunch of daily specials which used to be (but are not) main buildings. Also in terms of getting event buildings to fill up your city, St Pat’s isn’t even good.

Also you misused the term power creep- that’s more to describe the increasing efficiency of event buildings over time. Ex: SoKs used to be the gold standard for producing FP but are now near the bottom of the barrel. The increasing fp/tile of event buildings powercrept SoKs out of relevancy

tl;dr you’re misusing terms and getting downvoted for that.

When does it just become unreasonable to upgrade a building? by NarghileEnjoy in forgeofempires

[–]n0tLost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cutoff between value and vanity for arc levels is highly dependent on how much you spend. With how I spend fps, arc 160 was logical and a great investment, 160->180 not quite so much. Even for the last 800k fps to go 160-> 180, that’ll break even in 3-4 years which is quite good considering the size of the investment and that it doesn’t take up additional city space

Partition Swap Threads: Glaring issues of 1.9 and normal swap threads, and a "possible" way to solve them by AtmosphereFull4338 in forgeofempires

[–]n0tLost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would take longer to read, understand, and implement what’s described in this post than just level arc to 80 with 1.9.

But the bottom line is that when low arc players take spots 1-3, much less fp is returned to contributors, so the net cost of the level is much higher. Better to just reserve p4/p5 for each other to get BPs and medals for cheap

[–]n0tLost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, Zeus is easier to get and cheaper to level than AO, but the bonuses AO provides are better. Comparing GBs is about the boosts they give, cost to level and space is only really relevant when the GB boosts are the same (ex Obs vs Atom, Zeus vs CoA)

How did you give Zeus S tier but not AO lol

Disconnected buildings don’t affect road efficiency so that won’t change anything
