Double EBs are making the situation seem worse. The delta now between an attack plunder and a hansel in actual terms seems higher. I found in the past skimming ass on say a haunt had an increase on bonus. But hey I will cope!
Yeah...I saw that. Take a look at other GS finishes. Even with xtals I rarely see anyone top 30 bil unless they are skimming. But like I said, I can figure out what you both make on unloads of both troops and spies if you're interested. Just need to know your first hit Plunder, AB, and your First Steal.
It's ok Unicorn. The fact is current HF hansels are at a disadvantage for plunder. Even BFA n BFE n static mechanics are all haywired. I am surprised that I can even fail on warriors when I surpass their static/BFA/BFE defense. And that I can be hit successfully by avg stat warriors when obviously their total attack stats are way under my def. Am quite shocked with results. Even my spies. I can get 500k stat spies scouting me successfully. Sigh. Plunder is bad. Stats are worse. Unsure what devs are doing.... Radz
Not only that, as you build more of the new spy buildings you will make less gold per hit with your troops. That's an issue I did not have when I built volary's with my alt.
Skimming assas is like skimming steals - you get more when your full, warriors make less than hansels, even with the cost of pots to hit hansels will probably make more. Hansel is THE best build for money it outplunders any other build just unloading, skimming.is just a nice treat if you have time
Rad, the only people in your clan that I see out plundering you with a similar number of actions are people that have a tiny BFA. It is well known that having a big BFA will lower plunder vs eb.
@Swiftly - yes. If you are already riding the plunder curve because you're overpowering an eb or player, then more BFA only makes you more stronger and so your plunder will fall
I never knew bfa affected that.....for a build my size, what extent of BFA would be needed to start having a negative affect?
It takes quite a bit of bfa to start negatively affecting plunder. I haven't noticed any changes yet.
Keep a close watch, reeb. On another account, I can see my plunder drops whenever my allies upgrade. It's a small change to be sure. I think you'll see changes in plunder and AB when you hire or sell an ally with any stats at all (0/0/0/0 stats don't affect it)
The formula is pretty straight forward though. Hansel are for players who unload every hour. If you are just skimming, this is silly to go Hansel as an Attack build will give you 30-45% more... If you just realized this now, I'm sorry for you! Also, investing 1T in a land while you get a lot more with BFA for the same amount...
Mypouf I do alot more than just skimming, I prolly crystal in one day what you do in a month. The fact I do not skim and earn less plunder is the reason for the forum. Many other knowledgable players here ask me to skim and try. All you do is to criticize. I mean. If you even try to read the thread. Maybe you will not look so silly. You seem disjointed from the discussion. I do not choose to be a hansel. I HAVE been one of the few large KAW hansels for a long long time. Prolly even before you started this game. I am pointing out that with each updates, it seems spies tend to be at a disadvantage, and I hope that devs will try amend this issue. Radz
I think you misunderstood my comment. Hansel have the advantage to unload once an hour and enjoy their lives besides that. If an attack build unload once an hour, I doubt they'll get any close to a hansel build. Attack builds simply get rewarded for being very active, while Hansel don't. This is one of the mechanics of the game. No one forced you to be an hansel.
Hansels do get rewarded for skimming, just not much on the attack side. On the spy side it makes more of a difference to skim for hansels than it does skimming with an attack build, since there is no ally bonus on that side. Either way, the plunder difference between builds isn't really all that much. I know attack builds roughly my size that make 1.5x what I make per attack, yet I almost always out plunder them in the overall unless they crystal like mad. Seeing as how Rad is #50 on the ally board, I have no doubt that the huge bfa is the reason for poor plunder. He should be comparing his plunder to other leader board players instead of big builds with almost no bfa.
Hit Haunting Escape, you'll make about 110-120m per hit. Also, soon there should be level 3. I'd say that is why the devs released this new Haunting.
