not yet max, but already tanky as hell. 94 sculptures to max skill.
now have 30% attack/def when inside gathering pit.
i farm right next to their outside structure, so they will attack me and they will continue attacking the cleo even if my 2nd squad of cavalry hitting them.
because CLEO IS THE BEST BAIT EVER.

brah, i skipped the card event. i need all the gems i can get. now still need 85k gems for castle 25.
but i still gatal and spinned the YSG wheel last week. get only 3 heads out of 25 spins.

u need gems to buy books of covenant. u need like 15,000 books to get castle 25.

bruh, just farm gems on KE days. even the farmer hunters will be lazy to hit where you are.
gems are scattered too wide and only 800 T1 siege units used for farming it.
barely worth the effort to come hunt you.

so lesson is, farm gems during KE.
i rarely get hit on KE, if farming gems. even if get hit, just shrug it off and send out to farm gems again.
800 siege to heal is fast and cheap.

this idea is the best for KE, if u are hardcore farmer.
after i did this once, the next KE. almost all gem nodes were occupied. my alliance picked on the tactic.

yes, the thread is getting alive. this is good.
meanwhile, i am in my 2nd KvK after migrating out of my original crazy kingdom.
new KvK is good when u in the superkingdom.

when i migrated in, i was ranked 50 something in power, then suddenly become 200+ rank.
made me unable to join the king's alliance pula.

luckily able to join their 2nd one. so beggars cannot be choosers.

superkingdoms are crazy, the power event. even with 200k-300k power upgrade, i got ranked 999+

i don't think 30 mil can cut it, i can reach 30 mil now if i want to. but i think it doesn't work like that.
now i am at 24.5 mil power only. but sitting on alot of speed ups.
waiting for research event, then only dump some.
if 35 mil, when u are near T5, ppl start to respect.
now slowly researching the big 6, currently all is lv 4+, only combat tactics is lv 8 because i was stupid last time.
waited a full month for it.
if you slowly research the big 6 to lv 6 or 7, your increase if attack / defend is massive.

2.2 mil didn't even cut top 100 in last week's power event. i think i better keep the speed up since cannot get any legendary heads.
i'm pretty calculative,since i am f2p

gg, they release the kingdom numbers.
later someone will again make one main kingdom a superkingdom.

the contending kingdoms should be secret until the eve of the crusade.

they matched it by top 100 power players in each kingdom, if the previous information were correct.

LK 101, very good, got 1196 LG VS 1051 JWM. very good. big show to see, if the whales run away or not.

ah my mistake, JWM 1059*

but i think many of these superkingdoms will disband and go to other kingdoms.
because whales fighting each other ? bruh ?
i pay USD 50k to see no glory and no easy win ? time to jump kingdom !!!

alexander is S ranked on Chisgule's commander ranking.
so get him on the wheel.
alexander shields himself and another army, making it very OP when battling in open fields. since u gonna bring 4-5 armies anyway.

don't bother with garrison commanders, if you playing it right, u will never get rallied or city attacked.
because no matter how powerful your commanders are, u will be normally rallied by a T5 or max T4 player with legendary metmed or something like genghis khan.
your garrison will be dead and hospitals will be full.
if got feeling u gonna get attacked, just bubble and teleport away. better safe than sorry.
if u really need a garrison commander, get sun tzu as primary with garrison talents. secondary commander can be pelagius, or kusunoki.

well, my old alliance like to somewhat rally dead cities, so some cities have 500k - 800k T4s. which were totally killed by 2 rallies lead by T5 or almost max T4 player.
1st rally fill up the hospital, 2nd rally kills almost everything. 200k dead - 300k dead.
the rally normally is 1.5M - 2M troops, all T4, maybe T5 also have if the whale is awake. normally it only cost around few k dead troops in return.
so bottom line is, don't get city attacked. u cannot take it.

always join the king's alliance or the king's family alliance to have 99% guarantee, you will not get attacked. just the name itself invokes fear.

if you are getting rallied, u can shield up, provided u don't have war frenzy on.
when u are rallied, u still can teleport.

F2P can get T5, just need to be patient and try to join the king's alliance.
now i am VIP 11. and only short 70k gems for castle 25. i blame YSG wheel, spent 25k gem there.
two of the big 6s, are now at lv 7 and lv 8 each.

being F2P is a challenge, albeit a stupid one but i don't know why i cannot spend any money in this game.

i've got some raw calculations, if you able to join a medium spending alliance, maybe few gold boxes every week. i think T5 is doable in 12 months or maybe 15 months.
i have playing for 8 months, and i think my big 6 will be maxed out i used all the speed ups.

i've got 1000 boxes already, not yet open.
so don't know how much lanterns i will get....

those who completed it, 1000 boxes enough ?

hehe, chii used only 5k AP for the magpie brigde but need time commitment, every 15 min recall the gatherer, so every 15 minutes get 4-8 boxes.
from gatherers and rss collection in city.

wait 1100 boxes before opening, got 1800 + 200 lantern from events.
used 1650 lanterns to max lv 1 to lv 25.

@level 60 wizard
don't burn any speed ups, just keep them. only power up during event, so it can give u points.

bro, are you in the king's alliance now ?
can i join your alliance sometime in the future if like that for kvk season 3 ?

you're right, after every kvk, everyone jump ships....
i've got 5 passports ready but i need 8, so still need to grind more credits.

will revisit this matter after my current kvk.

how many heads left to max him ??

my CLEO IS ALMOST MAX !! 39 heads to go. MAX LEGENDARY COMMANDER SOON !!
(when i was still noob, i actually exchanged 9 heads on CLEO)
