New Player War Account Guide Part 1

[thierryd]

It's a nice guide.
But personally, when i start an account I concentrate on ballistae first BEFORE ANY OTHER TROOP UNIT.
I get 1 barrack to lvl9, max out my resource fields, and research archery for the ballistae.
Within 3 days i can usually start farming lvl3's and 5 days, lvl4's and by the time people start coming out of BP, i am farming lvl5's.
The key is to be efficient: i have this goal, to get 500 listae and 500 transports. I build my second city the 1st day to accelerate research/troop building.
And then, once people start coming out of BP, i have a very healthy income and can start pumping out troops faster than anybody else.

I think the reason this works so well is that npc's have a lot of gold (which is scarce in the beginning of a server) so I can research a lot faster than the average player.

Gotta admit... a better guide than most.. 8/10. I disagree with you re: farms, but I know I'm in the minority on that one. I prefer to set my cities up as near-invincible.

Agreed 8/10 guild

Pretty dope guide man! I am pretty much right in that stage your guide is set for and am following it right along. Very helpful to new players that love PvP aspect of games! Thx

Great guide for the new-moving-to-mid range player. I too think that ballistae are more important early in the game, but like the balanced ratios you provide for building troops.

One suggestion though.... when you add more to your guide (part 3 I mean) please edit an earlier post and paste it into there... I almost missed it, because I normally don't read the comments, but this one was def an 8/10 so I did.

When is the next guide for mid-end stage warfare coming? On my server, there are players that are beyond this and still don't know what they are doing...

he is right, you should re-read what was said. he said (i think its was 500 quoted) to before you do anything, start making balistas so they are done when you come out of the 7 day protection.



ps: great job, can't wait for the next part if there will be one
