its going to be way harder to get in the LB now with the new buildings unless you can buy really strong allies to help you get on it. Since the new builds came out do you think someone is going to reach 1trillio? if so who do you think is going to get to it first? Do you think its going to be harder to keep your allies (when the new builds get settled in, in a few months or shorter) since there's going to be a new height of the gold you'll get with the new buildings? and do you think the little guys will have a chance of keeping good allies with a mix's of tier 2 and 3 builds? now that the big people got huger! (and can get more money) If there was something like this already I'm sorry for posting this again. I haven't been on forums lately.
first of all: it is impossible to reach 1 trillion in building stats. But with allies, VERY possible. Second: LB stats are calculated by weight. according to Raeki: 45%: wins 45%: allies 7%: building stats 3%: misc, spy wins, etc. That being said, an ally has about 6.5x the weight as a building. previously, when doing an analysis on whether maj would get passed by KoW's new buildings, i didnt take this into consideration, as i had no idea. Now: old LCBC, costs ~20B, new t4 building: ~20B that being said, an old LCBC atk build will give about 10k increase to your building stats. A new 24 buildings will give a 2 M increase, while 24 old LCBC's will give 240k stats. THE CATCH? well, an ally has 6.5x the weight as buildings. so, 240x6.5 = 1560k, or 1.6M in ally stats. And, if you had previously DROPPED the allies to get your buildings: you got back 60%. so, 1.6x1.66 = about 2.1M So, you gained about 2M in building attack, and dropped about 2.1M in LB weighted allies to get there. Eh, id say it was close enough, but im betting that most converters got friends to hire away, meaning they had to drop less. That's the main reason that KoW jumped ~10 ranks, but didnt go straight to first. and, yes, i would fill up my ally slots (all of them) with LCBC's first before trying to convert. Once you get up there, there's no osf, and you have a bunch of harder players. You only profit will be from hitting them, taking massive losses in pot cash, and getting retaliation for your attempts to grow. I'd take it slow, and let more ppl fill up those top tiers first. (unless, of course, you're going to be a pure spy. ) I am also reasonably sure that LCBC osf's will take a while to get publically up there, too. (other than tmh, who practically sold away all his allies). So, they wont make too much $$$ while trying to keep their pots at their current stock, buying new ones to replenish the ones they use for attacking, and trying to buy up new, more powerful ones. Im pretty sure that allies wont inflate for a while.
Why would a t4 lcbc buy any t2/t3 ally? They'd get either t3 or t4 depending on how recent they made t4
exactly my point. but, toast, eventually, those allies will get hella inflated, and those t4 LCBC ppl with tons of slots will seek t3 LCBC allies, at a better stat:cost ratio
and ill probably save up everything until i have enough for the full converting to tier 4 building XD >.<
