Questions I have not bought a tower in a long time. Anyone know the cost for a LVL 1,2 and 3 defense tower and LVL 1,2 and 3 of a spy def tower pls?
This also has no need for a sticky as it is just information that people pay no attention to if they just opened their eyes they would see
T2 Defensive Tower L1 Cost: 1 billion gold. Defense: 44,550 T2 Defensive Tower L2 Cost: 3.1 billion gold. Defense: 78,000 T2 Defensive Tower L3 Cost: 14.5 billion gold. Defense: 124,272 T2 Lookout Tower L1 Cost: 3.5 billion gold. Spy Defense: 24,300 T2 Lookout Tower L2 Cost: 7.75 billion gold. Spy Defense: 48,600 T2 Lookout Tower L3 Cost: 15 billion gold. Spy Defense: 97,440
1) Worst Ally Bonus EVER! What is that, like 50b in allies? Lol. Don't even bother building towers if you just have allies for MP imo... 2) You need to differentiate between allies and towers. Both give you static attack and defense bonuses, but allies can be stripped away and towers can't. 3) It's true that the towers will allow you to lose less troops from defending attacks than your opponent because it can't be pinned, but they shouldn't really help you with pots unless your attackers just plain suck. 4) Towers aren't for fighting from dtw. Towers work when you get attacked/stolen from, and you shouldn't be getting hit at all from dtw. Attack buildings are for fighting from dtw.
Mm...I think towers are good when you are only using allies for mp. If you have more than mp, then only ally plunder matters so you can keep bulking up. It's the poormans massive defensive ally at the expense of a land.
Ummm, no Three Temples of Clarity = 14.6m Spy Defense A BC OSF gives 3.18 Spy Defense. So having three temples of clarity (cost around 78 billion) gives the same defense as owning over 4.5 BC OSF (cost around 1,800 billion.) As most of us don't have 1.5 - 2 Trillion to spend on allies Defense/Spy Defense may not be a bad idea for defense in wars. Also, and correct me if I am wrong Corinthian, but reset bonuses and ProPack bonuses are applied to base building stats, not to ally bonuses correct? If that is so that makes towers even more valuable in a fight.
And while I appreciate that, this thread in no way deserves a sticky. It is just something I posted because I think Towers are under appreciated in this game due to pWars. I wonder if that will change when PvE starts fighting back.
Yea - my bonus from allies was pretty sad. Its better now. Burned a lot of allies building those towers and finishing BC. Sorry I didn't get your reference
Towers are under appreciated I mean! @ cor- you shouldn't really need spy def towers if you just have MP allies. Just keep enough to get MP again in spy attack pots, and if someone strips you it doesn't really matter. Spy def towers really shine during strip wars (unless maybe if you're an insomniac LOL! I'd still build them because I'll have to afk to eat and shower if I'm getting heavily stolen from though.) I'd say building one or two for system wars is good too, just because spies will hunt for targets that maximize their gold per spy. That'll let you use your spies offensively instead of worrying about leaking in some cases. Ok... Done ranting about allies for now I guess ^_~. Edit: I just typed a 7 paragraph essay ranting more but I decided to save it for another thread some time LOL!
Ummm... And I was going to say that with all your resets you should have at least 300 allies. Personally I don't like to hire anything under 400m, but that's more of a preference. Those allies sell pretty quickly, and it's nice to have a small steady ally trading income in addition to the other strats/bigger sales.
