I have been playing this game for a while and that formula you quoted is fairly new and is more of an approximate amount. The simplest way to test max plunder is to hit something, say a haunting and record your total ally plunder. Buy another (cheaper) ally and then hit the same exact thing again and see if there is a difference. If there is a difference, keep buying. If not, you're at MP. MP is based off the stats of the building and typically the higher the attack, the less plunder. Check out the thread on buildings and land for a few details on it.
Durr. When you upgrade your T4 levels, your ally plunder will drop from level to level; but self plunder will rise.
in war whats the highest stat upgrade you reccomend before starting to invest in pots and other base value things (spells) without affecting plunder?
Whatever you can afford. Personally, towers. But clearly plunder is more important to you then taking away in a war :roll:
Scout him..... his build is all over the place..... needs more spy building else he will be stole from continuously...
I'm sorry that was rude and uncalled for. My anger is misdirected and I'm sorry you were caught in the crossfire
dude whatever advice you hear always stick with one build idk about plunder but thats just the way i got taught
Hujoo you're 2 mil cs you say? And people claim you're below max plunder with 7 billion in allies? I'm almost three times your size with 14 billion in allies and over max plunder so your allies is not an issue. I cannot answer why your plunder decreases when you hit haunting, as you go from t3 to t4, but what I can say is that advice you have gotten to buy the cheapest possible alternative is too vague and does not fit every scenario. I can also say that most people will agree that the most efficient/quickest yet repetitive way to grow is to start by being a hansel. Guilds lvl4 do give the best ally plunder bonus and to hit ebs you either use pots or equipment that boosts your normal attk and most often both at the same time. I won't go into details of how hansel becomes an attk build, try to login into forums with your PC and do a search there were some excellent threads not long ago. You seem to be logical and coherent in your thinking, simply look at the stats for every building. There are even spreadsheets for you to calculate the most suitable build for yourself and how to get there. I would suggest as others did that you keep the foundries you already built in lowlands and convert the cursed factories into guilds lvl4 one by one until you start feeling uncomfortable with low attk power. That is the trade off of hansel build low cs, but it does translate into bigger eb payouts and bigger cashins on each unload. As for building choice the agreement seems to be that the best T5 are the medium buildings, give most stats,higher base plunder which is independent of 5% bonus on defence buildings, this discussion on buildings can get quite long search forums at your leisure. Hope this helps and if it doesn't keep reading you'll figure this out I'm sure of it.
I didn't read the entire thread, so dont know if anyone said this, but it "pays off" in the long run because as you get stronger, your last 10 hits in a full drain don't require pots, either. When I do a drain, I don't use pots at all anymore and I'm always successful, that's a large payoff because I'm not using half my plunder in pots to ensure success.
I know it's already been said but. When you start upgrading to t4 from t3 and if you only hit the haunting your plunder will drop. Mine did on my alt. as you get stronger the haunting gets easier for you to hit which means that you get less ally plunder. The devs set up ebs so that as you get stronger you need to do harder ebs to get a bigger ally plunder on attacks. Cuz if I cud upgrade to a t5 hansel and my ally plunder increase at 300k or whatever every upgrade. It would be too easy to make money. The devs want you to have to keep doing harder and harder ebs to make you earn your money not just have it handed iut
Don't forget your bonus for participating, that should be increasing as well and is a big source of income.
Thanks guys, there's been a lot of good/encouraging info on here. I have built more guilds, I have 9 upgraded to lvl 4 right now and i feel comfortable there. I'm going to stick to the foundry build for now and try it out. I have an alt that's starting to build T4 so I'm going to do some experimenting with that and try a modified build probably without foundries. My plunder increased a fair bit(about 1mil) by just tearing down 5 of my lvl 2 subs and building lvl 4 guilds. At any rate, I'll keep building and trying things out. Thanks again guys and if anyone has any more info they want to volunteer don't hesitate I'm a fiend for knowledge and I love mix/maxing and number crunching.
