given the way the game is now...if u dont coin u dont survive simple as
I disagree. it is possible it is just less likely. There is no dout that coiners have a huge advantage at the beginning of the server.
I have done servers not spending a cent just to prove the point to a freind in 3 months he can spend all he wants but i could build a better account without spending a dime.
WHen i say this i am not trying to say coiners dont have skill. There are some very skilled players who coin. But to be competative and not coin u have to be extremely skilled.
I was hittin a 4 city player the other day who sent a hate mail stating how she only spent 90$ and that the ultra coiners in X should leave her alone. Funny thing is I have only spent 60$ on my account on 166. I keep up with players that spend 10x that amount in prest, hero, title, cities and troop counts.
Main point is it takes skill but it can be done :)
One little hint to non-coining - U will probably get farmed once or twice during your build. Just remember this. Dont quit, you can catch up. work that hero and get those techs goin. Get your main defendable and get a second city for techs ASAP. If u lose it who cares. Just make sure u can hold off attacks on ur main and u will be fine. Rush to farming techs and a few lvl 9 rax should be immediately in ur mind. look for a good intel hero at the start and get those tech times up. Farm valleys as much as possible for the extra res. in the beginning stages 1-5k is much needed and all adds up. Once u get 1-2 farm teams farming 5s its all uphill from there.
you have a fair point with skill and knowledge u can...but reality is ...theres only about 2% of player that can survive like this.
how many have we booted from X for not keeping up. weeks into a server sitting at 2 cities knight.
also with the facilities available now a days such certain AI programmes that plp run there is no reason why one cant survive playing free...
I don't think I'll coin on 166, that is if my schedule, and real life issues, that have entered 166, allow me to stay there.
I always "disliked" coining. To those that have the jingle to spend good luck. Lol
I never coined and I was always top 10-15 on my servers in terms of hero, pres and army size. If you think outside the box and find some shortcuts, it isnt a problem at all. All of Buzz's tips are good but he left out the very important function of the market. The bots have allowed the market to become very easy to predict, this early is what can aid a non-coiner in lessening the gap early on in a server.
Yes, the market game is a great help to smaller/newer players. (I am not saying that bigger players don't play the market, just that he bigger you are usually you will have some farming teams to get resources.)
let me know if that made sense to anyone else but me.:attack:
yes , its entirely possible , build a treb city or 2 , and have someone hit them with 50k warr + waves , 5 minutes apart , if yu have a good poli hero , it works even better cos yu dont have to wait so long in between sets of waves , but hitting a treb city with 11k trebs , being hit with 50k warr , often yields a port to the dfender , im not saying yu`ll get a port on every hit , but out of say 100 hits , yu`ll get maybe a dozen or so ports , i have personally even witnessed winning a port when being hit by as few as 10k warr on one of my treb city`s , which I also use to drop honour , if yu are a regular warrior , yu could well use that system to drop any honour yu may have , keep gates closed of course so only your trebs are destroyed , plus its a great way to build a poli hero , drop and raise trebs earns tons of XP for your hero
spending a week building trebs , and lots and lots of warr in an alt acct , yu could spend plenty time hitting yur treb cities and yielding a good number of ports , but be warned , make sure yu have PLENTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY stone , yu`ll get thru a ton building trebs over and over , oh and meant to say , maybe start off small , ie 10 - 15k warr waves , and build up to a level that makes it happen , maybe up as high as 50k , but lower amounts will sometimes yield ports too
or you have to play on w26 , on that server , i rarely coin and have never ever bought medal boxes , but i can assure yu its the easiest server for promo`s i have ever seen , yu win a medal on just about every single thing yu hit , even honour medals ( which is usually the hardest to find ) come from simply hitting level 4 npc`s , just and nation come from 10`s , and level 5 npc`s yield freedom , courage , and wisdom medals basicly every single hit , i currently have 150k of each , with near 10k justice / nation , anyone that wants to build a prinz acct in like 4 - 6 weeks easy , ( ive actually seen it done in 15 days ) then get along to w26 and join in the fun
