two lvl 1 Colonies vs one lvl 3 Colony

Discussion in 'Strategy' started by *Gabrielion (01), Aug 29, 2012.

  1. I have four lvl 1 Colonies and one lvl 2 Colony. Should I upgrade two lvl 1s or upgrade my lvl 2 Colony to lvl 3 first. I am trying to maximize my plunder. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)
     
  2. Upgrade your Lv1 Colonies .
     
  3. Destroy all of your buildings (including your castle) and put stables up.
     
  4. Upgrade. Much better in the long run
     
  5. STABLES!

    But srsly, upgrade to lvl 2
     
  6. Upgrade 1000%
     
  7. Stats per billion spent when doing T5 upgrade


    T5lv2 if built on a previously unoccupied land
    Atk. Atk build 3,793
    Bal. Atk build 4,169
    Def. Atk build 4,013
    Spy 2,713
    Def tower 8,213
    Spy def tower 2,149

    Stat increase of T5lv2 from T4
    Atk atk build 1,497
    Bal atk build 1,642
    Def atk build 1,581
    Spy 1,067
    Def tower 3,629
    Spy def tower 847

    Stat increase of T5lv3 from T5lv2

    Atk atk build 1,417
    Bal atk build 1,563
    Def atk build 1,505
    Spy 1,018
    Def tower 898
    Spy def tower 806

    It's slightly better to upgrade to lv2 but the difference isn't huge so if you decide to upgrade to lv3 first you won't be hurting yourself
     
  8. Great post! Only way to improve it would be to include stat increase per gold spent.
     
  9. It's stat increase per billion spent.
     
  10. Go with the Level 3 the spies are way hotter 
     
  11. This is an excellent way of looking at things. Very good metric for deciding what to build.

    One nit to pick: you didn't include the refund for dropping a previous tier's highest level building (e.g Tier 4 Level). My numbers are slightly higher, but the relative values are close.

    Atk 1,553
    Bal 1,703
    Def 1,640
    Spy 1,056
    Def 1,511 (big difference here, weird)
    Spy Def 835


    The original poster wanted to know if they should
    a) upgrade 2 T5L1->T5L2 or
    b) upgrade 1 T5L2->T5L3.
    Both cost $100B.

    I would look at the Kaw Calculator spreadsheet from this thread, and do the math yourself. But that's just me. :lol:

    Then, you can analyze things to your heart's content.
     
  12. i would upgrade your lvl 1's. much better in the long run but, as greatness stated, its not that big of a difference. the choice is yours.
