Hi everyone! I started playing KaW on my new iPad yesterday, and people are being kind and helping me. Everyone is telling me to build forges, I have built a few but I like the looks of War Cathedrals a lot better. Just wondering what's so great about Forges and why I should build them instead of War Cathedrals instead of Bestiaries. Thanks!
Looks aren't everything..... Forges have more attack stats and to hit better ebs or people you need higher attack stats so that's what most people start out with
It's best to start with forges because you need to get your attack up as quickly as possible in order to hit good paying eb's. Once you have around 50k attack (your bonus TO allies), then you should be ok on Forgotten Ones and Reckoning, which both pay well. Also, as soon as your able to hit those eb's successfully it's a good idea to start diversifying your build (cathedrals give better plunder (gold) than forges (keep in mind this only helps if your attack is high enough to hit the EB's successfully). Having at least 1 bestiary (gives extra attack per unload), and 2 lvl 3 guilds...... As soon as you are hitting FO/Reck w/ success, ask someone about ally plunder!!!!!
Forges give higher attack, therefore you can hit higher EBs that pay better. However they leave you vulnerable to attacks. If you have a spare land and 40mil I'd suggest building a defense tower and fully upgrading it, will stop people taking your gold.
The difference in income between a forge vs a war cathedral is relatively minor, and as the forge improves your chance to win and in pvp there's better options and/or choices than a war cathedral, people say build forges. Plus, it's an easy thing to tell a new player
Op listen to Akres he's giving you good advice. @Owlbunny The payout difference is relatively minor... But this game can easily take a year or more to hlbc. Minor differences aren't that minor if you're planning on playing for a while :/ @Hulk Defense towers tend to reduce plunder thereby slowing growth. It's better for a small player to go pure forges than to invest in defense towers; or even to invest in cathedrals since they give a small bonus to allied plunder as well as having good defense stats.
Read this if you care. I would suggest to build one War Cathedral, one Beastiary, and the rest of them forges, until you get 12 lands. Why? War Cathedrals give a 5% plunder increase. (More money) Beastiaries give an extra two hits per regen (Again, more money) Forges, just for their attack power. Guilds also increase plunder, so I wouldn't mind building those. But avoid defense and spy defense towers until you are a little stronger.
NEVER ever build Defensive Towers, unless you plan to be active in wars. Towers give no troops so it lowers your plunder
@warwolf Defence orientated buildings don't give an increase of 5% plunder (they just give 5% more than attack or balanced) if you think i'm wrong then refer to Wulf's Thread on Buildings and Lands
3 more highlands to go for me, after saving up I will convert to T1 on lowlands and T2 on highlands as a joke. Will take some SS of the buildings and my stats and I'll be the weakest guy who is HLC
Building a strong kingdom is everyone's challenge. Guilds increase attack plunder , build one per 5-6 Att. They have the highest ROI in the game. Maintain ally $ value =. to the cost of your next land at min up to 20B. It's so nice to see kind advise on a new persons thread. Hope you enjoy new KaW I just voted it 1
Ok thanks everyone! I will keep my 5 War Cathedrals and 3 Forges as it is, but i will purchase a bestiary and more forged as I unlock more lands, until Tier 2 buildings seem reasonable enough priced. Is it possible that I can get this thread locked/deleted? Do I have to wall a moderator or something?
