So any ways ill have llbc soon and ill be working on hl and I was wondering how to go about volaries should I buy all in one as from lvl 1-3 or one lvl at a time. Or buy volaries lvl 1 on all hl then upgrade when hl is all volaries
I'm not a very large or experienced player, but people who have helped me say to save up until you can afford level 2 right away.
It's best to upgrade until your next land costs less than it does to upgrade. Then buy land, put down another volary, upgrade all volaries again, repeat.
Don't bother with SOS on HL. Explore HL til you have 25 bil land (building guilds), then replace all HL with level 1 Vols. Once you've converted everything to L1 Volaries, continue exploring HL til your next land cost more than a L2 Vol, then upgrade all your L1's to L2 and so on.
Note that your T5 conversion should be done differently than your previous conversions. For T4 it was best to go straight to L2, or even 3. T5 L1, however, will bump your plunder above that of a T4 L3 (or a guild). It's true that bump isn't huge, but remember that plunder must be calculated to include eb bonuses. Your first T5 L1 isn't going to have a huge impact on this either, but the more you add, the more your straight plunder, and your EB bonus will go up, and all those little bumps add up to make your more expensive upgrades much easier to afford.
