I do feel really naked with no towers tho... But it's also kind of fun- like I'm just totally winging it xD. Playing without towers is super dangerous but good for the ego ^^
Towers ? what are people so scared about with kaw as it is now. :mrgreen: :geek: :ugeek: based on how kaw is right now, towers only benefit you fully if your getting stripped, lets not give people the want to build these things, people need to grow and thats it, don't build towers, and if your getting stripped, stay out of drama.,.,,,,
Sexwulf, r u getting ally bonus and true stats mixed up? 3 temple of clarity gives that much to Ur true stats I can see that yes. And ya, 4,5 bc osf would equal that, if u were compairing towers true stat to osf ally stat. But that doesnt make any sense, so lets compare osf to 3 temple of clarity. 97x3=291 k spy def. Osf, that's what, like 3.something mil? Ya, no comparison there.
Also, granted a static defense is a very nice thing to have, but troop buildings give ALOT more combined, and a SOS only gives what, 30k ish less spy def? Not to much. I also think the t4 towers should be cheaper, costing almost the same as a troop building is quite outrageous. Yes I agree, great against strips, but not to many people being stripped ATM lol.
And igerpums, I actually thought there had been an increase in strip wars lately, I've been in one and know of a few happening, I don't know wether it's boredom due to plunder wars or anticipation of the pve update, but there seems to be a lot of tension building in kaw (a good thing in my opinion!!).
Hahaha Ilike I always said towers/fortresses are good. Many say to me geez y so much towers? I just tell them it's like having another pot in real war. But no plunder!? I say it's kingdoms at WAR lol. I knew about this all along Have a good day
Nope: It seems you are getting them confused though. Let me explain: There are 2 stats to be considered: Your Stats & Your bonus to your owner (what most people call your true or base stats) 3) Temple of Clarity increase your Defense Base (your bonus to you owner) 97k each to 291k Spy Defense but they give you 14.6m Defense total. Therefore they are substantially more powerful than a BC OSF for spy defense.
The actual stats (in terms we view normally) is approx. 292k spy def (in terms of bonus to allies. Way below the 3.1mil OSF max.
And if you want to base in on the stats as they are viewed from your profile, you have 14mil 1/3, and HCBC spy at full has 155mil or so.
Right this isn't about being a BC OSF though. This is about the difference in your Defense in a fight. Owning a BC OSF as an ally is substantially less defense in a fight than owning even one Temple of Clarity. Of course, owning a Temple of Clarity does not make you anywhere near as valuable to others as an ally as does being a BC OSF.
Good post sexwulf! But a couple points to add: -Apparently the beasts in the PVE update won't fight back (at least not in the first update) so towers r wasted on the pve. -whilst I agree that towers r great to have, as u noted they decrease plunder. Therefore it's something that is probably best built when u r approaching hlbc (or whatever ur target is) unless u war alot, which most of the pwar nooks don't
Great post sex, one of the ways you can tell if a player has fought in real system wars or strip wars is if they carry spy towers. In real battle towers are tremendously efficient.
They don't decrease plunder unless you are hitting the same target. Many people use towers to be able to hit certain OSFs out of war.
as always a fantastic guide!! One of my favourite people on kaw. Thanks a lot man - you're guides are amazingly useful
