  1. welcome to my build guide. This build is designed for the epic battle 'the haunting' but is also a great war build.

    now, this guide is not going to be colourful with all BBcodes. Because I'm lazy and information is information lol. Also don't expect any Maths to be involved...

    INTRO:
    So, since PWs are gone eb's have taken over and the new source of cash is now "the haunting" as it is fast easy, and you can earn great money from it.
    The new eb's, well to be honest. They pay **** all for the time it takes. Once you've got all the perm items it's back to the haunting.

    WHAT IS THE BUILD?:
    This build consists of 3/4/5 T4 attack buildings of your choice and the rest SOS / guilds. This is so you have the strength to attack and gain a fair amount of cash, but also spy and gain a fair amount of cash.
    If fully active in an epic battle you can easily reach 10b plunder.

    FIRST:
    1. First you want to explore 15 lands and build 15 forges :p

    2. Next you want to swap all these forges for level 3 guilds.

    3. Next you want to upgrade these guilds, then explore the rest of the lowlands, building level 3 guilds then upgrading to level 4 when you have the cash.
    _________________________________

    Now you are ready to start properly.
    You'll want to explore 4 highlands and Plonk some more guilds on them, then explore 3 more lands and start building your T4. I'd recommend foundries as they give the best attack, and tbh, If anyone attacks you your going to loose anyway. These buildings can be used to pin yourself in a real war while you can use your spies.

    SECOND:
    You'll want to get at least 20/30bill in allies if you don't have already.

    4. Explore more lands and build guilds on them, but once you reach your 40bill land, now is the time to start swapping those guilds for SOS.

    At the moment you should be easily making 4b an eb, you may still have to use pots to attack but it will turn into a huge profit.

    5. Well, prettymuch just keep exploring lands and adding more SOS really. Easy as that.

    This build is sort of a hybrid kinda thing so i thaught I may as well do a guide since everyone's always asking what's the best build for the haunting and good for wars. If you need anymore info either ask on the thread or something. This was done quick just telling you what to do. No point making it fancy might as well just get down to business 
     
  2. Wait so in the beginning you are a pure spy? Cuz once have 15 guilds and no forges then aren't you kinda stuck?
     
  3. No but you swap all 15 forges for guilds, you said.
     
  4. I have no attack buildings atm but I can still make money in the haunting and hit well..
    My alt does also
     
  5. I was just making sure, because most hansel guides have you keep an attack build. But I believe you bro
     
  6. Even if you did keep an attack building youll be too weak to hit with it anyone unless you use all the pots and loose more money than you make 
     
  7. I know, unless you were doing Warbeasts lol
     
  8. I actually have this build (at a certain stage). 3 CoE 27 Guilds and 1 SoS
     
  9. Oh and great guide!
     
  10. I suppose this is good if you're small and in a clan that does The Haunting.

    Otherwise you're better off doing smaller EBs until you make enough and is actually worth attacking and using attack pots.
     
  11. Why forges? Cathedrals pay better.
     
  12. I'd been doing The Haunting since I was about.. 500k spy atk/def (35 guilds). And I was a hansel.

    The highest attack pot is 12m. And I made like 24m per hit... And that's not including the extra reward you get in the end. So it is still worth having an attack building.. That's AT LEAST 12m profit per hit, so that's like another 310m or so per unload of troops.

    310m gold > 0 gold

    I eventually built a T4 attack building, and then only need a 7.5m pot. Increased my BFA, then converted to SoS, then built another 5 attack buildings. Now I don't need pots, and make a killing :)
     
  13. Hmm. just re-read part of your thread.

    You eventually said to put up an attack build once you reached like your 30th or so land. So that's good at least.

    You can just ignore the previous comment I guess.
     
  14. The pots cost which u have to use to get money
