6 Changeling Watchtowers (t3 spy towers on HL) = 1,446,984 spy def It takes 15 Temple of Clarity (t2 spy towers on LL) for comparable stats: 1,461,600 spy def I would imagine that it would be worse for plunder to put your spy towers on LL because you're using 15 lands for buildings that give no plunder. But perhaps the fact that the HL towers are replacing higher plunder VOLs or t5s makes the difference negligible?
He worked through that bit. The question is which one takes less plunder. I'd say the hl towers are a better option.
Ll r cheaper to convert too though... Not to mention easy to destroy and make Coe in peace time.... So ll IMO
Good point.. But if you're doing it for a long term basis, HL is the way to go. You're only losing 3 lands instead of 12 or whatever you say. Plunder wouldn't drop as much. So yeah, HL
It is interesting to think about. I have 1 lvl2 TG till BC. When I had 4 lvl2 TG. I tore down 2 and put up 2 towers in HL. And put up 3 towers in LL as well as a few more SOS. Shoulda kept better #'s track. But when trying to rebuild in under a week for war, kinda forget that and just focus on watching my Spy def increase to min level needed. Still would like more input!
I've been curious about this as well. Changing to a tower build using LL will be cheaper initially. But would be interesting to see the plunder diff per hit between the two methods.
Just to throw numbers out there Hlbc hansel making 62mil off hlbc hansel Hlbc hansel with 9 ll towers making 59mil off same hansel. 3mil a hit difference between 0 towers and 9 ll towers with those two hansels. Hl builds have massive plunder. Just saying
EBs max out your plunder and ally bonus per building, so haunting for example maxes out around T3L3 each building (guild L4). Since more attk/spyattk buildings means more gold, you'd want to put towers on HL since fewer attk buildings will be displaced. It's possible some stronger EBs may come out giving full plunder and ally bonus for T5s (similar to what you'd get hitting an equal strength hansel), then LL and HL won't matter so much. many players are betting devs will release T5s on LL as next major upgrade to land-building side of game. if that happens soon, then it might be most economical to develop T5s on HL then convert T3s on LL straight to T5s (i.e. if u still have T3s on LL, u can gamble and put towers on HL)
I've been hoping that too, but many I've talked to are telling me not to hold my breath, so it's got me thinking about the best possible in current game. :cry:
My understanding is ata is very happy with t5 only on highlands. It gives multiple different type of builds that wouldn't be possible with t5 on lowlands. But ata loves to change the game completely ever few months so who really knows.
If you worry about plunder while putting up towers may as well not have them at all. Towers kill plunder for static defence, and by placing them in ll you can potentially make a 4/6 build considering most BFA tower hansels kill their spy attack for 2/7 build thats pretty impressive offering both attack and defence but If your ebbing focus on plunder
Idk the exact stats off top of my head but sacrificing sos ll for towers will take it from 1,500,000 spy stats to 2,000,000 static spy defence and hlbc vol can potentially make 4,000,000 spy stats while minimising plunder loss (sos are poor for plunder) however if you are looking to be a hybrid it makes sense to put up 6 changeling towers and maybe 6 vol you can make a combination of more towers etc 6 vol are just so you are still able to assass and 12 hatchery with ll coe minimising plunder loss (and giving extra troop actions?) so ll for hansels hl for tower hybrids.
ive noticed troop towers are better on low lands and spies on hl. I got a build 2m spy atk and atk, 4mil spy and atk def. Incorporates low land troops towers. Took a while to get those numbers straight but that was the best outcome
