Call me a newb, but why does everyone say that you should only build t4 if you have enough gold to upgrade to lv2 straight away? As far as I'm concerned, lv1 t4 gives you MORE plunder than lv3 t3 and has higher stats to boot. Unless there's another reason, I believe that there is no need to save up to upgrade straight to lv2.
But to convert to all T4 lvl 1 to T3 lvl3...takes a very long time..its more complying and rewarding to go straight to lvl 2..
Well yea it's actually quite dumb to only upgrade all buildings to a lvl1 t4. It's much more cost effective to upgrade them to lvl3 1 at a time. But the question here is if there is a purpose in storing up till you have enough gold for going straight to lvl2 t4 before taking down that t3. My answer is no, if anything you should upgrade as soon as possible to get that plunder boost meanwhile. Although we are talking pinching pennies here so it doesn't really matter.
@killer - correct. Upgrade as soon as gold is available. Personal preference as far as upgrading the t4 to lvl2 first or starting the next t4 lvl1. If you need the stats, get the t4 lvl2 first. If you need the plunder, get the next t4 lvl1 first. T4 lvl1 does have better plunder than T3 lvl3. Also, in terms of plunder gained per gold invested, T4 lvl1 gets more 'bang for the buck' than T4 lvl2.
Agree with all... I believe you're discussing attack builds and not SoS For SoS you must follow the guide in Forums > Topics > Strategy You need to upgrade all to T4L3 in one shot else you lose plunder if you're T4L2, which sux big time
Thanks guys for the help. I guess I'll go about replacing all my t3 lv3s with t4 lv1s. The plunder boost is gonna help so I'll replace all my subs with circle of elementals.
Missed a line. Damn idevice doesn't allow me to edit... I meant I'll go about replacing my subs with coe one at a time.
