~~ChosenDivinity's Guide: ~~~~~~~~~~Allies and Plunder First and foremost, I'd like to say that allies are EXTREMELY important. They help you earn more plunder from each attack. You can progress much faster with allies. Here is an example of an attack: See the line that says plunder? That's all that you would've gotten from an attack, WITHOUT allies, with this build: See the part that says 'Allies Bonus'? That's the big bonus you earn from the attack. So instead of only gaining 494k, you earn about 12 million (excluding war tax). -----TABLE OF CONTENTS----- 1.) Ally Prices and Bonuses, and When to Upgrade 2.) Volleying 3.) Dropping Allies 4.) Picking the Right Ally 5.) Closing Note <><><><>Vocabulary<><><><> Drop- to discontinue owning an ally for notable reasons Hire- To buy an ally Volley: when multiple players hire one player back and forth to raise their price and earn them gold Plunder: the amount if gold you earn from each attack Ally Bonus: the amount of extra gold you get for owning allies Overpriced: A player who is too expensive for their stats ______________________________ {~ALLY PRICES AND BONUSES Let's face it, allies are a big part of the game. So, with that said, we must own allies to gain us plunder, as mentioned before. But, the more allies you buy doesn't necessarily mean your plunder continues to go up and up and up. Your buildings must be at a certain level for your plunder to continue to go up. To test if your at maximum plunder, first buy an ally (any cost), then attack someone. Note the ally bonus. Then, buy another ally. Attack again. If your ally bonus goes UP, your not at max plunder. Continue to buy allies and attack. Note the ally bonus in each attack. Once your ally bonus doesn't go any higher, you're at max plunder. Once your at max plunder, explore lands, build on them, and upgrade your buildings to their maximum level, Your ally bonus cap will grow, enabling you to buy more allies to earn more ally bonus. Note: the more expensive an ally is, the more ally bonus it gives you. ______________________________ ~~~~~~~~Volleying~~~~~~~~~ Volleying (definition above) is a good way to earn everyone gold. The people who volley the one person earn a small percent each hire. It also gives the person who's being volleyed good money But there's a time to stop. Volleying a player too much may lead to an OVERPRICED player. That leaves the player a hard time of having an owner. So then people may DROP that ally. Not good. So, volleying is a good way to earn money for everyone. Win Win! ______________________________ ~~~~~~~DROPPING ALLIES~~~~~~ Now, let's say you realize that one of your allies is overpriced and not worth the price. You can drop that ally if you feel your gaining no benefit from it. The most common reason people drop their allies us because of inactivity. If an ally of yours becomes inactive, their stats will not improve and there will be no benefit for you. ______________________________ ~~~~PICKING THE RIGHT ALLY~~~ With all the above said, this should be considered in buying the right ally. 1.) Is this ally overpriced? 2.) Does this ally go above my ally bonus cap? 3.) Is this ally inactive? 4.) What benefit will I gain? 5.) What could happen if I do/n't buy this ally? All these questions should be taken under consideration. ______________________________ ~~~~~~~~~CLOSING NOTE~~~~~~~ Now, thank you for your patience, and I hope you have a better view of ally ownership. Please dont say this thread has been made, because I dont read others' guides and such. This is my hard work. Thanks
Good guide, but you should have mentioned the stat to price ratio e.g 1bil=100k stats and how it differs as the price increases.... But apart from that
Well you need to get help from those using T4 Buildings and HighLands. Your guide is good. But more info needed regarding the following areas: 1. Hansel build 2. Hybrid build 3. Attack Build 4. Spy build Builds for wars Builds for PWars Min no of allies to maxP What happens when allies reach a particular hire value. For attacker ally: 1b = 100k stats combined For spy ally: 1b = 50k stats combined
