EA, sigh

[GroteKoning]

So I finally made EA, only to find to my utmost horror, that I've skipped an upgrade on my Temple. Damn, thought the upgrade cost seemed fair. lol. Yes, idiot much.

Anyway, with only 14 workers, all upgrades around 3M and FOUR days, progress has slowed down to a crawl. Basically check when workers will come available, then farm like mad to loot, start upgrades to spend all available loot, and let it be for 4 days. Will see how long the enthusiasm lasts.

Depressing.

Yeah enterting new age is painful. There are barracks to upgrade that slow u down. And temple. All the other stuff is ok. Ull get there

 

[GroteKoning]

Thanks for the encouragement. Sometimes, lol, I actually like playing this game. Especially when IA high level dudes fail miserably to get anything from my base. But there are some good players. Easy to spot in their attack methods. Hopefully I'll get a chance on revenge

EA should be quicker than GP once you get going - unless you like upgrading farms, caravans, etc

 

[GroteKoning]

I think I'm the EA player with the lowest level caravans and farms

PS: Just checked, all level 4. That and roads are all merely bait for raiders. In fact, having high levels are actually detrimental if you are going to log off for a couple of days as they will just boost your available loot for those pesky raiders.

I'll leave the small change outside, but if you want to loot me, you gonna have to work for it

 

[dbukalski]

Good choice grote on caravans and farms

Lol, that's brutal! Right now I'm caught up on upping mills to reach capacity for offensive upgrades. Now I'm wishing I'd done it in GP when I wanted to go slow. EA slowness is just blah!

Maggiepie, hijacking my own thread much, but I had a look at alliances yesterday, but did not see your name (unless off course your in-game name is different) with Nations League?

 

[Danix den Andre]

You're not looking creatively enough, there is a Magda in EA with two mills upgrading

 

[The Prince]

Hmm, for EA, some certain pain for me was during the upgrades of foods costs > 5mil or golds > 3mil, as foods seems a lot easier compare to gold. However, 3mil foods like barracks seems still good for me and not that tough to loot esp if I divided it into 2 sessions of raids before logging off. For me, it seems that getting 4 to 5mil golds for mortars and redoubts are a bit tough and takes time.

I imagining IA now where mil of foods and golds awaiting me and esp > 7 days, I very fear I could quit the game once I enter IA as I couldnt keep looting using my iphone.

 

[GroteKoning]

Thanks Danix Nice base Maggiepie.

Hi Grote,

I skipped the mortars and most defence buildings in EA and went to IA, will catch up later when 4m and 5 days seems cheap & quick.

 

[GroteKoning]

Thanks for the invite Endrill, your alliance looks great. Nice donations. Medal range little out of my league for now, as I'm grinding away between 500-900 medals with GP numbers and troops while waiting for upgrades. Give me a couple of weeks and I'll check if you have space again.

 

[maggiepie]

Lol! Not hijacking- commiserating!!

And Danix did some pretty clever sleuthing!

 

[maggiepie]

Why thank you

 

[maggiepie]

Hey! Back off! Don't try to poach my recruit!! <jk>

I'm in a wonderful alliance as well, by the way; we have aspirations to climb later, but right now just enjoying the ride
