Classical Age - Farming Layout

[blackbrain]

I made an account so I can comment on this. When I moved to Classical I chose this base. Since then, for the past week and a half, I have been hit with 20-30 attacks /DAILY/. Nothing I have done is stopping the constant waves of attacks. I will leave only 1000 food/gold and an hour later when I collect I end up with less or around 1000 still! I'm getting extremely frustrated with this game! I've been painfully slowly upgrading anything I can it's taken a week to get half of my walls to the half stone half wood. I can't close the game for 5 minutes without getting slammed. I'm pretty sure I can count the number of players I've attacked on both hands, if not than definitely both hands and feet. I'm getting lots of crowns yes, but I have to spend 10 times that to afford the upgrades I can't save up to. I've only actually reached 100k on my own twice. Everything else used crowns. I got the starter pack for the extra builders.

Hello Diesel, you have to know that you will get raided by a stronger player from time to time, with nothing you can do about it. A good base only helps to minimize losses and prevents players of the same age and lower to make any serious damage. That being said, I need to ask you: what medal range are you on? Make sure you stay low, you dont need the medals, drop em if necessary by attacking someone with 1 soldier and retreating. If you are getting raided too much lower your medals, I stayed around 200-400 in classical and im around 400-600 on medieval, no need to go higher. (Will post my medieval base soon )

Diesel - in addition to blackbrain's wise words, can i also recommend upgrading your walls as much as you can. Upgrade so you have 0 gold in the vault. There is no bigger deterrent to raiding someone's base than strong walls and small loot, particularlt with the knowledge that someone else is likely to have weaker/no walls and lots of loot to raid

I have 400 medals, and I haven't attacked in over a week now. The constant attacks almost never get me a treaty. They are getting the majority of my resources every time without "defeating" me so it gives me medals. I throw attacks without doing anything to lower my medals but minutes later I'm being farmed again. I'm making 50-60k gold a *day* and around 30-40k food. I spend as much as possible, usually giving in and using crowns to wipe out resources. It's been taking a week just to upgrade my walls. I'm still hovering around 25 attacks a day, most of the time I have less than 5k of each resource but they still come. It's really, really making me not want to play. I was attacked 7 times today alone within 3 hours. Yesterday I didn't even have enough resources to update anything at all the whole day.

i've been classical for over a week now too, i believe, at the same medal range. not sure how you're not getting a peace treaty with your town center vulnerable if you're using blackbrain's base layout.

i also use this base (or a close variant of it). short of people in the medieval age with generals smashing my base, it's held up INCREDIBLY well. as in, i've probably lost less than 50k of each resource over the span of an entire week to people in the same age as me, and i hold off most people in the medieval age too.

i've also managed to upgrade almost everything. at the end of the day, this game is about successful attacks and not successful defenses. i can make 50k/50k an *attack,* so i'm pretty sure you're going after the wrong bases or your play style is lacking in efficiency.

in any case, good luck. i'm not sure this will help, but my army consists of:

4 cataphracts
1 miner
2 calvary raiders
15 archers
16 heavy vandals (i'm german)

Hi there guys! Nice lay-out! Thank you for sharing your base lay-out. I am currently using it right now. I have a difficulty with my base lay-out. I am in Classical Age right now with 1 extra tower. I'm also using Acropolis & colosseum. Do you guys have a newer base lay-out for this with 1 extra tower from library research? Hope to hear from you. Thank you!

 

[blackbrain]

Hello RiX, here is an updated version of this base, with extra defences:

Hope it helps.

Cheers!

Hey blackbrain! Thanks alot. Yes it did help me. Here is my final Classical Age base lay-out. I'm on my way to Medieval Age in 3days. I can't wait to try out the donut base lay-out soon. Thanks again RiX Bisdak Republic

You are very welcome and congrats on your way to medieval!

this base layout has definitely been one of my favorites so far for the classical age. I had to tweak the general direction of the base as well as a few building placements (I don't have as many forests cleared yet) but otherwise it's worked really nicely and I'm rarely getting attacked! and even when I am, the usual is about 2 stars which are the town center and quick victory stars. so I'm very pleased with this layout! awesome job blackbrain!

Classical Era with 100% of structures connected to the roads.

 

[Burke]

Hello, what is the road % you got in this base currently? Cause i have the stone hedge and would like to max out it's full potential

I got 100% on my Classical base with stone henge. Search for the base Burke

Ok, So, as far as I can tell, my base looks just like yours, but I ran out of walls before I could finish wrapping around the tower at the bottom. Did I miss something somewhere? Thanks

I have blackbrain to thank for this =)

seems like a wall bug, sometimes walls get doubled so you might want to redo your walls one by one if possible to find the extra walls you're missing.

I took this base all the way into the gunpowder age and it did splendidly. I only recently updated it a couple of weeks ago to better accommodate the Versailles wonder as well as adding another mill and a redoubt. The Acropolis was well placed- with all stables, garrison and coliseum in it's AoE. Splitting the resource buildings made it extremely difficult for invaders to attain more than 1/2 of a resource. My defences spawned extremely well, typically wiping out invaders quickly. Investing in walls certainly didn't hurt either. Unfortunately this is the best quality photo I have of the base before I changed it (pic was taken to report negative crown glitch to CS), but I think it's still a good illustration of how the base can move through the ages.

Hey guys I have currently removed no forests for classical age I have only cleared the forests from Iron Age any bases I could do

 

[Cannibals]

If you tuck in the outlying buildings, this is a good compact design.

 

[Bootney Lee Fonsworth]

Not what you are looking for but I'd say just max your offense and skip every age until gunpowder. There aren't really enough new players to make defense a concern until at least enlightenment age. Plus you have so few tools at your disposal until gp age that there's no need to spend any longer than necessary in prior ones.

In gp age you will have plenty of time to catch up and refine your strategies without having to deal with tanks, planes or oil. Normally I'm a big advocate of taking time to stop and smell the roses but pre-gp ages are worthless. The only reason to put much thought into them is if one is designing a sandbag base to manipulate the Matchotron 5000 with.
