[PLAYER GUIDE] Outer City Building Balance

handoftheking

Thank Player Xevross in K6 for contributing his tips & advice to us!

Resource Buildings – troops consume a lot of grain and are not harmed if you have 0 grain. If you want to have a good number of troops and be useful to your alliance in times of war, your grain per hour will be negative, so there is no point in building more than one farm. The other resource buildings are needed roughly equally (figure 1).

Mints/ Army Tents/ Hospitals – hospitals increase your hospital capacity and, in the late game, total matter health. Mints increase gold production, training speed and, at level 25, give a 2% bonus to troop attack. Army tents increase maximum troop training capacity, maximum troop number and troop defense (figure 2).

The percentage of bonuses to attack, defense and health are small and come late in the game so they can be ignored by new players. You need enough hospitals to cover your troop total, but mints are brilliant for their training speed. Army tents allow you to set many troops to build at once but apart from that, they’re not very useful until end game. You should consider these facts when deciding what proportion to build them in. 9 mints/ 6 hospitals/ 1 army tent is a good balance to have until castle level 25, but it's not perfect for everyone and should be tweaked according to your needs.

A single level 25 produces 38k grain.
Basic troops cost 1 grain to maintain.


So if somebody had a single level 25 field and 40k basic troops. That's 38k troops being fed and 2k starving but those starving troops are happy to hang around and starve because ??????

Anyone who thinks that's a good system is dumb as a sack of rocks.

Doubly so when you consider the source material devotes plenty of time to the problems of a starving civilian population and the problems of keeping an army provisioned.

Not sure I agree about the farms, if you're not planning on paying cash, how do you build more troops? At some point you run out of bonuses.

There is something fundamentally fd about a game that follows an ethos "don't worry about paying\feeding your troops they'll do what you want anyway."

The problem with demoing a building is you can't swap it out for a different "style". For example I demoed a farm and it would not let me build a hospital. As of yet I have had no answer on that from a ticket I submitted. Why can't you replace a demolished outer building with any other outer building otherwise available to have been originally built?

I've never seen a system with so many weird flaws.

"... troops consume a lot of grain and are not harmed if you have 0 grain."

Sheer insanity.

"If you want to have a good number of troops and be useful to your alliance in times of war, your grain per hour will be negative, so there is no point in building more than one farm.."

As above: sheer insanity.

Hi luckyholland, troops are constantly eating grain as it is produced, unless you make more than they eat so that you will have surplus. Your troops will not starve to death, but you will need to keep bringing in grain for building, training, and research, and use it for what you need before your troops eat it all, which is sometimes a challenge in itself.

Agree with above. If your army is consuming more than the upkeep the troops should start dying until the production/consumption ratio reaches status quo again.

Hi jeffwinchell,

You can demolish buildings in the outer area by clicking on the building, and then clicking the 'house with an x' icon in the bottom left corner. This will require a queue slot, and will take some time for the demolition to complete, which can be hastened.

Have a nice day
