Can anybody tell me which gives the best plunder - 10 Guilds or 10 SoS on lowland? Some people say "Oh, guilds give the best plunder!" while some people say "SoS gives better plunder overall". Some people might say " Skip SoS to build volaries" Im working on that now, just wondering should I upgrade my guilds to SoS in lowland.
Guilds give better plunder because you get more ally plunder. SoS give more plunder for steals because of the stats which is also the reason you get less from an attack. It's all preference really.
if you count on eb..guild more plunder..i try at ambush..guild get more gold on stealing compare to SoS..guild get better payout on eb end also then SoS..(sorry bad at english)
Id say keep the guilds, build the volaries, then take ur time to test the sos thing, there's a lot of controversy about sos.
This is based on my experience I am in the process of replacing my guilds with SOS & COE so i will just state what is happening to me. when i replace a guild with level 3 SOS, my plunder is actually going up by 100 to 300K & my CS is going up. There is definitely an inc in the end EB bonus which more than compensates for any extra money I am putting in. Only thing I am not happy is the stealing. I was getting more plunder in steals when I was all guilds but as I am replacing guilds with SOS my steal plunder is going down but my damage to he gemstones goes up. does not make sense but this is what is happening. So overall I am Happy with the results. My CS is going up & plunder as well.
Thanks virus, as Im not a hansel, I wont steal very often in ebs, however Im concerned about the end plunder in ebs. So based on what virus posted, SoS give better end bonus, so I will start working on that.
The answer depends entirely on your other buildings. If the rest of your buildings are guilds, or tier 3 attack buildings, then guilds will earn you more than sos. If the rest of your buildings are t4 attack then you already have too high a CS to get full plunder advantage from guilds.
Contrary to popular belief, guilds will yield more per steal than SOS most of the time. That's because of the difference in strength vs your target. If you hit the same target with guilds, you'll make more because you are lower in overall strength. SOS is worth converting to though. Like someone else said, your bonus at the end of ebs tends to be larger with SOS. If you want to make the conversion process go more smoothly, you can build a few more COE or a colony. The extra stats from the attack buildings makes the plunder dropoff from converting guilds much less noticeable. So in summary, guilds will make more per hit, but SOS will make more overall if you are hitting ebs while doing more damage.
Never mind, you have enough attack stats to make the conversion plunder loss hardly noticeable. I thought you were a GH, lol.
Yes Reeb, you are totally correct. That is what I am experiencing now. almost slight inc in plunder & lots of bonus. It was painful being only on guilds & accumulating money for the next land at the end of which ur cs just move a little. now My cs are going up so I am moving somewhere.
Just a FYI, I converted my lowlands guilds into SOS with roughly the same attack as I have now. Per hit plunder did drop off a little until I was about 2/3 done, then it started going back up again. Per hit dropoff was only about 2 million at the worst, but I was gaining quite a bit on end bonus. If you're active enough, you can convert 10 in under a week easily.
Guilds give more plunder but wouldn't hit bigger EB's but SOS has alil bit plunder but can battle big ebs
