I'm converting my guilds to something stronger. I'm not sure whether to make volaries, or SOS, with let's say around 350 billion. I could make full lvl 3 SOS in the lowlands, or put in many lvl 1 volaries in the highlands. The question is what really is a better choice, so I'm asking you guys. (Volary lvl 2 isn't an option)
Let´s be honest... Whatever you´ll do with 350b will hurt your plunder. If that´s no concern for you, but you´d like to finally get some stats after living a guild hansel life, upgrading your full lowland to SoSes will give you maximum stats for your bucks. Not quite sure what the most plunder efficient thing to do would be though (except to continue to save gold for a full upgrade...)
Let´s say it like this: Whatever you´ll buy might drop your personal gain a bit (in the near future, it will go up again later on. But you are right, you will make more damage and you will be of much more use when hitting an epic battle. Your clan should thank you for upgrading (as your owner should too, lol).
Guild lvl 4 is extra 300k to minimum amount of gold per succesful action on eb. When swapping over to sos's amount of gold for 1st lvl 3 sos is less than guild lvl 4. Each additional sos you add will still result in a loss but on a reducing scale. 10th sos is break even (generates same as replaced guild) from 11 sos's upwards you get back more than guild you are replacing
when replacing lvl 4 guild with lvl 1 volary you lose plunder on the first 4 sliding scale again 5th volary is break even point and any further volarys will result in sliding scale increase. hope this info is of help
