T6 lvl 1 vs T5 lvl 2

  1. Hi forumers,

    Price and stats-wise, assuming you already have a lvl 1 T5, Tier 5 level 2 and Tier 6 buildings are very similar. However, has anyone tested which one give the most plunder boost ?

    In short, assuming you have 50 bil and either a tier 5 lvl 1 or the money for a hoarfrost, would you upgrade the T5 or deploy a new T6?

    Thanks.
     
  2. I don't know about the plunder but I would complete all my t5 buildings before doing t6
     
  3. Buy new land and build t6 lvl1.. so you get more soldiers/spies.
    Updates t5 lvl2 can wait
     
  4. Its worth the money to get frost lands atleast 10-12 ofthem. Cheap. Then go back to finishing highlands.
     
  5. @makaveli,

    I agree with you on getting a few HF at least. I now find myself at the stage where HF lands are getting rather expensive and I'm trying to find out if I should stick to putting new T6 or reverting to upgrading my highlands.
    Interesting how the first 2 pots advocated opposite views, though...
     
  6. Well price/ stats ratio is better till i think around the 10th frost land ? But its safe to say the first 8 are cheap enough to just do asap
     
  7. Really depends on which high land ur on.
     
  8. A Lvl t6 is not comparable to a T5. Well at least it is only stat wise. 2 T6 are the equivalent of a T5 Lvl 2 and 1.

    However, you cannot build T5 on LL or HF, only on HL; while you build T6 on HF not LL or HL.

    Both T5 and T6 belong to different areas, so you should not have to choose if that is why you are asking this.

    Indeed, ultimately, I will do both. My question is rather referring to the moment in your growth where you can do both.. Which option is better? There may not be one better option over the other, it may well be build dependant..
     
  10. Its not build dependant, its simple arithmetic. Just divide the stat increase per gold required (land+bldg) and let your decision be based on basic return on investment criteria.
     
  11. Thanks Rimjob,

    Hence my original post asking if anyone had tested plunder increase after upgrading a T5 and plunder increase after deploying a T6... :) that is the main driver to the decision in the end...
     
  12. Building a new building onto a new land will give you the highest plunder boost.

    I would buy the 6 first HF lands and build T6 lvl1s then come back to T5 lvl1 to lvl2 upgrades. Depending on the cost of your next HL land, this might also be an option.
     
  13. I have found T6 lvl1 pays 15% less than T5 lvl1. So it would definitely pay less than T5 lvl2
     
  14. But a t5lv2 earning potential doesn't increase from lv1 as much as a newly built t6lv1 would
     
  15. What about upgrading a T5 lv 2 to a lv 3 or going to the HF lands for a few lands ?
     
  16. Well my 7th hf land unoccipied paid 300k more in ally plunder than it does now since building t6 sdt, i know towers dont add to plunder but i didnt realize it decreases it xD
     
  17. Yeah when you're that strong, towers take a toll.
     
  18. Also if any of this info helps, im getting more bang for buck atm playing in hf than if playing in hl lol, my hl has 15 building, 3lv 3 and 12lv 2, i have 7 hf buildings atm and im sure ill squeeze a few more in before hl becomes cheaper and more efficient to ug
     
  19. A new land with a building gives more plunder than upgrading a t5 1 to 2
     
  20. The basic rule I have always been told is whichever is cheaper. If buying a HF land and building is cheaper than buying new HL and building or upgrading a HL building then you get the HF. Once the cost of the HF land and building become more than a 100 bil you go back to upgrading t5 in HL.
