You'll catch up soon no doubt. The world seems to be full of pansies.
EDIT: Beat first level of Vestige, second looks incredibly difficult. Can get a decent victory with either just over 700 Imps or 8 Devils. Can have the Devils within a week.

Can you post a Jactari link of your main hero against the vestige monsters?

Put my main units I have into the army to play around with too, I have a pool of T1-3+ and T4-6 regular available to recruit.
Only 4 T6 but just doubled my T6 recruitment to 4 by moving my +2 of each per day hero back to that town.
To improve my infantry (esp Imps) I could swap chest piece with the "Sparkling Harness of Knowledge" (+10 infantry attack).
My 2 most powerful spells are Disease and Eldritch Arrow.
Is there any particular reason you want to take down this level now (i.e. you'd fulfill a quest or get a rank in honor)? I could make your army kill it, but at a decent loss.
105 imps, 25 horned overseers, 6 hell hounds, 6 hell hounds, 73 succumbus; eldrich arrow in first round and the sparkling harness on.
No absolutely no reason to do it now - possibly the opposite as tiles give immediate gains while vestige seems to give nothing until you withdraw.
This is only second level, the quest is to get to level 6. Still quite some way from next Honor.
Moved my army away for now in order to continue clearing tiles instead (built vestige in my only fully cleared city).
Flixy, are you still playing? Someone is arguing for kicking you out. :p
I just got back home today - I was intending to pick it back up later tonight. But honestly I am not sure if I'll be able to be online much in the upcoming weeks, it is summer after all. So in all honesty: not really sure.
Log in so it doesn't say you're inactive. Beyond that, play at your own pace.
Done!Quote:

Aye, but one of the two is directly next to a city of Lolli's now. Not sure if that matters or not?
Nah, unless you're in a position to increase the alliance's influence.
Not from the looks of it.
Early game you're probably safer being inside our area anyway, until you're big enough to protect yourself you don't necessarily want to be on the frontier.
Reached Honor rank 6 and eligible to get 6th city. Be a while probably until 7th (over 1mn honor needed). Wondering which mines to go for?
Initially gold seemed to be the problem, but currently seem to be coping OKish with gold. Only just scraping what I need though and mines are getting exponentially expensive to improve, plus now building and improving research towers.
Wood and Ore - roughly got and need even amounts of this, seem to be just short of wood at the moment. But then built most expensive building already. Useful for vestiges too I guess?
Mercury - Besides buildings, only needed for T6 (arrows, Pit Lords). Currently got lots of T4 (Succubi) that I'm using for arrows.
Sulphur - Buildings, T5 and T7. Not been hiring much but currently building T7+ building and a big pool of T5s available to go for T5+
Don't want gems or crystals.
Been mostly hiring low-level troops, T4s especially but now higher level ones are available think may start going for them more once I've got the + buildings built.
Currently got: 8 Gold, 3 Wood, 3 Ore, 4 Sulphur, 2 Mercury.
Not sure what to go for. Currently thinking either Gold, Wood, Ore and Sulphur or Wood, Ore and 2 Sulphur.
Right now, you're still expanding. Get a city with at least one gold, wood, and ore mine (more of each of those wouldn't hurt). At this point, it doesn't really matter if the fourth resource is sulfur or mercury.
Since at the moment we're not under attack I want to think medium/long-term here. Yes I'm expanding but we can only found 10 cities* right? And they're getting harder to get, so may not have many more opportunities to go for the right spaces.
Still since I was uncertainly considering exactly what you suggested I think I'll go for that. Question then becomes location, there's a few right on the boundaries of what we've got, and there's some close to my existing cities in our area.
* I believe with Tears we can conquer more, but then that might be enemies/opportunities etc, not I want x resource tiles.
Any idea when the +xp alliance reward becomes available next? Just realised it would have been a good idea for me to maybe wait for that since I've earned about 200k honor today.
The thing is, the faster you create your cities, the faster you're generating resources from those cities, which means you build them (and the mines around them) up quicker. I'm making nearly 300k in gold for example. It helps a lot if I want to build a capitol or a castle, or improve mines.
I'm currently making 161k gold, 40/42 w/o, 13m, 27s.
Now that I've started getting research towers, wondering if it'll be worth demolishing and rebuilding improved mines. Research bonus multiplies with improvement bonus, its not additive.
Think I'll fully improve newer cities mines first before demolishing older city ones (many are on just 5% or 10%).
I only started demolishing and improving once I got 8 cities. And make sure you have at least 200-300k gold available when you start demolishing.
Looking forward to making about 150k from selling sulfur tomorrow. :)
Still not settled on where to get the next city (chronically short of wood since had about 10:1 ore:wood tiles I'm clearing it seems) - but shooting up the honor rankings and nearly eligible to get the seventh city too! So I may need two good locations shortly.
How long do these games last? How long should this server have left?
Level 6 improvement takes a month to pay back, others no doubt longer. If the game has 5 months left fair enough, but if not ...
About 3-4 months. Don't improve past 30%.
With a maximised Research Tower combining with improvements, wasn't sure if it'd be worth it or not.
Chronically short of wood so found a 2 wood, 1 ore, 1 sulphur city. What makes it nearly perfect is that the two woods are spaced with a gap in-between so that the research tower can touch both of them (guess that matters and if it touches one but not the other the other misses out on the bonus?)
Its also on what is currently our border and not far from one of my existing cities with 2 gold mines.
From what I've seen, it only matters that the research tower touches one. Good location though. How much did it end up costing?
Due to lack of time/motivation I'm not sure if I should carry on on the pvp world
You know that the other server won't last another 3 weeks, right?
Yup - what are the plans of the others in there by the way, join a new PvE server? Either way it;s easier to sit out three weeks, and on the PvP server I could be replaced in your clan by someone more active and productive.
If only. There are no more active players who aren't in guilds. :(
