Thread: Now What ?

  1. #1

    Default Now What ?

    I was thinking....once I finished researching everything what do I do with all the gold ?

    I am close to finishing all the research I can do without buying MS scripts. I have made my towns into gold factories. At the moment all this gold is being gobbled up by research. But then what ?

    Ok I can buy resources. But what do I do with those ? There is a limit to how many soldiers my towns can support.

    Will food become a very expensive item on the market soon, once more and more players reach this stage ? As all one can do with gold after this would be buying resources to make more troops which will then need so much food that they outstrip production and the spare gold will then have to be spent on the market to buy food for the starving masses.

    On a sidenote, I have noticed on the new server 6 that wood is relatively cheap, but stone has gone through the roof. Looks like people have been reading too many threads about making lots of wood and purchase the rest....

    People may also be getting smart about walls that require massive amounts of stone.

    Server 6 is only 2 days old - noone should really be building large walls just yet ?

    I'm having a similar problem lol. I'm not really threatened where I am right now and I outcity my nearest rival by two. The only real challenge there is figuring out how on earth I'm supposed to pick up 9 honor medals sometime this decade. lol.

    The prices on new servers are allways out of wack. In a week, lumber WILL be the most expensive. It always is. Also, the only limit to how many troops you can hold is weather you have the food to feed them. You could have 1,000,000 troops in a village, but as long as you have food, they will stay. Therefor, use the gold to buy food.

    2 days is Walls 5 if you luck out on a few rolls on the wheel, buy some stone and have gone through the cycle on another server.

    Thats what I mean - once research is finished the gold needs to be spent, if you don't want to become an attractive farm for the people around you. How will this affect the food prices on the market ? I am thinking that they will skyrocket.

    Why would you want walls at level 5 ? if your town is only 2 days old, isn't it more important to build up resources and slowly fill the walls with fortifications ? It takes a long time to build the archer towers, there is no way you can be filling up the space you have on the walls by day 2. (ok, unless you buy game coins)

    Walls take stone
    Fortifacations take Wood

    If the stone comes first, you build walls.
    If the wood comes first, you fortify.

    Fortifacations are offence
    Walls are defence

    Its more about where you get sent than where you go with the game in day 2
