How To Survive The Fortnight

The Beatles · January 17, 2003, 02:55:56 PM

Basing yourself on one unit is dangerous. I had 3 million stoats, and in the end, I was defeated with rats. Always diversify. A specialization is not bad, as long as you also don't ignore other troop types (or leaders).

I think I had about 20 million knights in Swiftgaming... gee, that was fun :D
5 kills inside a month. And almost six before someone took my kill with three acres to go <_<

Well, Technically landfat is you networth being based on your land and having little troops to defend.
Markets are good, and so are Barracks. A good strategy for troops is this, Orcrist sent it to me

Rats:8%
Weasels:12%
Stoats:55%
Skiffs:25%

Landfat is when your networth is lower than your land ^_^ I am most definately not. Beatles, balance out your troops and build a little more of one thing is what I meant.

You mean 1 mil networth= 1k land, yes?

~>John<~ · January 17, 2003, 04:36:02 PM

well I'm not sure about that, I have 2000 more acres then networth and i'm not landfat. At least, the defenition i gae was what orcrist told me

Yes, well, it was mentioned on these forums as being the way to go- or something like that.

Menatus · January 17, 2003, 04:52:16 PM

Being land fat would be nice...^_^;;;

sorry Misha, but i'm going to attack you :)
Your sorta land fat.

Anyway, If i attack anyone else they will start a bally long bloody war

The Beatles · January 17, 2003, 05:03:34 PM

I had 10 mil Dragons, and 4M of other units in SG. And 6 leaders. :lol:

Misha is Menatus?

Well, I think I'm land fat then. Here are some of my stats:

Rats - 1,573,385
Weasels - 205,671
Stoats - 194,970
Skiffs - 143,424
Leaders - 95,905

Workers - 232,071
Land Acres - 20,815
Networth - $15,014,802

Rank #52

I'm worried about my workers. Lately I've been losing lots of money and food per turn, so I demolished some Tents and now I'm barely getting even on food and losing hundreds of workers a turn. Do I have too many to begin with?

Here are my buildings:

Markets - 6,376
Tents - 2,500
Camps - 230
Barracks - 4,736
Huts - 800
Foragers - 1,422
Guard Towers - 4,751

Any construction tips?

no misha is the reporter person

Menatus · January 17, 2003, 05:05:52 PM

I have less guard towers now! O_O well, not really. You shouldn't post your stats because people will attack you ^^;;; Build more camps. Then you'll have more money.

Let me just say this: When I had as much land as you I was rank 10. ^^;;;

~>John<~ · January 17, 2003, 05:06:05 PM

more markets and foragers, and you have to build camps/tents for workers to stay there, + u have to have a 8%-15% tax rate for rapid growth
