what s the best option: finish my LL with forges and then convert later on, or convert to tier 3 before i reach HL? (also do i need more spies?)
Yes you need more spies. Double your spies but also finish your LL with forges and convert later. Some may tell you that you should convert to t3 when your next land is over 1 bill but it's quite time consuming i found when i did it in my newbie days. I'd say just double your spies then finish LL with forges.
Start low and go high you can volley around 20% of max volley price to someone else. So 100 m to 5 bil would do it
Say you are bigger than a player and steal from them and make like 1m, if they have gold out will they still lose like 50m?
