I want to switch to hansel and I am attempting to now, but I don't know if im switching the right way. I would like some help if anyone knows how to effectively change over.
I would say you are doing it right, just leave a lvl three beastiary if doing pws and buy many allies. Also each time you change a building with a guild reach first ur max plunder before doing your next change.
SLOWLY, is the problem that people most have while converting. Slowly swap each building to a Lvl3 Guild at LEAST. Once you become land complete, and can build T4s, once again, slowly convert all guilds to strongholds. This will slowly decrease plunder, but will be worth it. This helps your stats, and once you have 2/3 of your buildings SOS, your plunder will come back. You will make alot of money per steal and attack. In order to hit a highland build complete osf, you'll need to have at least two tier 4 attack buildings fully upgraded.
You need to get 3-7 bil in allies before switching or you would hardly be make 1 mil an unload. I suggest wait till you have 1 bil before buying another guild so you can get it to lvl 4.
