spy skimming?

  1. Does skimming with spies give you more plunder? If so how, and how much of your spies do you skim with? And what is the difference between unloading and skimming?
     
  2. All I know is it gives more plunder. :s do it it helps.
     
  3. Skim spies?

    I like low-fat spies, but skim is OK.
     
  4. The spy mechanic for skimming probably gives u more money. To do this, just hit the eb 3 times every 5 minutes, and u will be making "max plunder" for each hit, if spy skimming is like troop skimming. Skimming is when you use a fraction if your troops or spies to land more successful hits and more plunder. Unloading Is when you use all of your troops and spies, depleting your troop and spy numbers to 0.
     
  5. Yeah skimming spies pays more. You maoes less on each assassination so staying as close to 100% as you can pays more
     
  6. Thank you souless thats quite helpfull, and also is this just for hansels or all spies?
     
  7. I tested this awhile ago and saw no difference in pay but if people say it does than it does I suppose
     
  8. It's for both troop and spies. The only difference is since there are more spy hits than troops, to skim with spies you hit 3 times. To skim with troops you only hit twice.
     
  9. Skimming in general, wins you more goldz.

    If you notice the EB history in some clans, you'll see players with less actions sitting on top of the plunder winnings.

    Short of pot drops, skimming is why this happens.
     
  10. Way more. I tested months ago and got like 20 some million per assa skimming spies. When I'm empty and hitting, I get like 5m per assa.

    Actions work on a linear scale
     
  11. Thanks all for the helping info, me and my friend can start growing faster now, especially him considering he is a gh lol
     
  12. Wake that isn't very much on that eb
     
  13. They are both a ton of plunder :D lol
     
  14. Bobcat he had 1/3 of your actions and earned over 1/2 plunder....
     
  15. Yes I know he did lol but I had hit pots so that adds quite a bit
     
  16. The screen shots may or may not demonstrate an answer to the question of whether skimming pays more. We have no idea whether the differential is the result of differences in builds/stats as opposed to manner actions were engaged in (i.e. skimming vs unloading).

    The comparison would have to be the same kingdom, doing the same EB and landing approximately the same number of actions.

    That's more effort than I would want to engage in just to learn whether I would get more from using spy actions every 5-10 minutes as opposed to a full unload of both soldiers and spies. As it works with troops - we see it from the plunder - I guess it wouldn't hurt to do the same unload method for spies. 
     
  17. Dropping pots at full or near full troops gives you a bigger bonus as well.
