This is the problem i had. Due to me being new i made some errors in the early parts of the game. In order to build npc's which i needed i had to advance to baronet. I spent two weeks farming level 10 valleys and flats to win medals. At 5 hours a session it became very boring, time consuming and cost me a lot of troops. I gained many medals but was still very short on the medals i needed.

A $30 package got me enough cents to buy promotion to the next 2 levels. To do this in gameplay would take 100 hours or more. $30 can be earned in 2 hours.
