Thread: The $65 method.

    Default The $65 method.

    Hey,
    This is for all those who looked at the $400 method thread and went *ooooh* *aaaaah* *$400 OMG no way I can spend THAT MUCH*

    This is NOT for those who want to have a high Ranking by Prestige. There are plenty of prestige farming threads out there; this is for Power Players.

    I've done this with $35. But I was lucky; it usually takes $65.

    $400 on this horrible laggy and ugly game, is too much. And spending it all on amulets is the worst thing you could possibly do! We've all rolled months and months of amulets and NEVER got anything worthwhile

    I say, think small, think smart: the $5 pack, the beginner package and an additional $30 will work wonders for you. You don't even have to be lucky for it to work! Here is how you do it:

    1. Buy the Beginners Package, and the $5 Package. This will give you enough resources to start upgrading your town hall. First thing to research is Construction! (as soon as you can lol.)

    Once you have no more resources left, spin your amulets (you should have 6 of those), and buy junior medal boxes until you have 20 Rose and 15 Lion medals. Then buy a Medium medal box. Then promote to Baron.

    If you are lucky, this will only cost you 300 cents and you don't have to buy another package. Unfortunately, a more realistic number is 380 cents (average of 9 medals per box). Since you have the 25 cents from the Quest,you are only 5 cents short... let's hope Amulet gave you 10 cents! If not, buy another $30 package: the cents will help with resources anyway. Do whatever you want with them (amulet, buy resources, buy yourself to Viscount... I'd say Viscount!)

    Now, make 2 or 3 more cities and keep a slot open for npc's. Start upgrading the cities: focus on production until it goes over 100k in every city. (This usually takes about 10 hours... during which your prestige will stay low.)

    Once your production is at 100k, you can start upgrading barracks. Build them one at a time, and upgrade them to level 9. As soon as a barrack hits lvl9, set 20 ballistae to build. You will have 5 to 8 lvl9 barracks at the end of day 2, and can start farming lvl4's in 12 hours, lvl5's by the end of day 3. (Day 3 is approximately the time your npc fields start looking decent, so it's perfect timing.)

    By the end of day 4 you can farm from all 3 cities at once. As few as 5 farms per city, 3 times a day, will give you

    NOTE: At this point the $65 may seem pretty much useless, but they are essential. You need the cents for resources but mostly for cities: being able to research AND build your fields makes it worth every cent! Plus you don't have to farm those elusive rose medals.) At day 4, you have 300k income, which is laughable compared to what you harvest from your npc's. If you built your fields well, you can reserve 2 cities for resource farming and one for hero levelling.

    From now it's easy to get a hero to level 80-90 by the time BP is over for the small guys. I would train the Intel hero first: he would have 200 intel with Art of War, you will need that for Archery 10.

    You can also upgrade an attack hero, but this soon it's not very important. I would get him to 120 attack, no more. Same for the politics. That way you can build 35k archers and 1500 ballistae a day between 3 cities: at day 8 you will have 100k archers, and 6 farming teams per city!

    Objective at day 8: 100k archers, 7200 ballistae, archery 9, MT 10, IW 9


    Start farming for medals! Honor, Courage and Wisdom had a 15% drop on s148. You are 90 valleys away from Earl or Marquis (6-7 cities.) Since you have nothing better to do... start farming! It only takes about a week, half of that if you're motivated!

    Archery 10 finishes just after the end of Week Two. (day 16-18) By that time you can expect to have 150k archers and 200k scouts PER CITY. You can also expect to have all other attack techs at lvl10. You will have 9 farming teams per city, and your attack hero should be just over 200 attack. Apply an Excalibur, and you can start farming lvl10's.

    Finished Product on Day 16:

    -5+ cities, total of 750k archers, 1 million scouts, 20k ballistae
    -All important techs at lvl10
    -Strong heroes
    -Farming level 10's: you can expect to be amongst the first to have instant warriors without buying On Wars!

    All this for $65.

    Which is half of why it's better (;
    If I ever start another server, and if I do it'll be a few months, if they're makin age one servers still, I'm gonna use this.
