Everyone has always said that its better to upgrade to tier4 lvl 2 right away and not make the intermediate step to lvl 1 because it will hurt plunder. I never believed that mostly because well no one ever had proof. So heres your proof that there is no harm upgrading to t4 lvl 1 and actually it is slightly better then T3Lvl3. So a summary: I took my current build and replaced 1 lvl 3 sub factury and replaced it with 1 lvl 1 cursed foundry. Before I upgraded I attack dnsleow2 at full troops and got the plunder numbers below. Also i included my stats. Pre upgrade: Attack: 23318000 Defense: 18192000 Soldiers: 37200 Bonus to owner: 106,773,977 Attack to allies: 466360 Defense to allies: 363480 Full troop attack: Plunder: 6646464 Allies bonus: 13307771 Total gold won: 19954236 (At max plunder) After that one attack i did the upgrade and heres what it looked like after. As you can see slightly better. Post upgrade: Attack:23534000 Defense:18366000 Soldiers:36100 Bonus to owner:106773977 Attack to allies:470680 Defense to allies:366720 Full troop attack: Plunder: 6678540 Allies bonus: 13339818 Total gold won: 20018358 (at max plunder) So in conclusion make the upgrade its easier to get and it will help you get to level two just slightly faster! Thanks to dnsleow2 for being open so i could do my test! Thanks to Chronos HQ!
The only problem I see with this(not the stats) is that the upgrade of 3.75 bil netted you and extra 100k per hit. Faster, yes, but personally I prefer the massive stat increas of a lv2. But then again, my opinion. Solid work though
Aug thats why i made sure you saw that it was attack building for attack building. Apples for apples. Changing building type changes everything.
Shol good point but how does it hurt? You spend the same amount of total money in the end and still get the huge stat jump to lvl 2. Now the first 3.75 does some work for you rather then just sit there.
Here's one problem; I'm almost certain you hit an OSF for that. So, did the OSF grow between recordings?
I'm pretty sure mine when down as well as my plunder from t4 level 2 to t4 level 3 my plunder dropped?
What you say may be true, but you also have LESS TROOPS. That affects how much you make from a total unload.
