For those who dont know ***HIRING AN ALLIE GIVES YOU ONLY 2% ALLIE STATS*** Keep in mind before hiring an expensive allie.
That's why i dont have a crapload of allies. They're not worth it. I only hire for 2 reasons: To get my plunder bonus up or someone i know very well has an allie that's in my price range and i want to own them for shits and giggles.
Allies are a lot more powerful than you think. That 2% goes into your bonus to ally cs score. An allies ENTIRE score goes into your raw stats. Don't get confused with people talking about all this 2% stuff. Think of allies as a different kind of pot. It adds to your raw stats and is a static bonus.
OP, the reason leaderboard players are so powerful is because of their bonuses FROM allies. For example, if you hired 50 allies that were all the same size and strength that you were, you would effectively DOUBLE yours stats. Sure, it is expensive and that's why smaller players should focus on upgrading before hiring... but allies are crucial for larger players to exert dominance over others.
Your* Oh, and although this is just an educated guess, I wouldn't be surprised if Redstar's actual strength is 10-20 times what he appears to be, due to the fact he has trillions of gold is large allies.
Lmao you ever tried hitting someone in top 500 allies list believe me allies count . If you don't believe me go try hitting one you will get murdered by them ps much respect to anyone with allies the rest just don't know how to play kaw
A few people getting confused over 2% thing. Its quite simple really. The cs you see in people's profile (bfa) is 2% of that persons actual stats. So if they have 50 million attack/def - their bonus to allies will be 1 mill attack/def. (what you see when you look in their profile) You can see your own actual attack stats in your profile, your cs is 2% of this number. when you buy an ally, you get all the bonus that is in the allies profile that you can see - NOT 2% of this. See. Simple.
