Haile Selassie Research

[MSS-Gaming]

Haile Selassie is the newest addition to the university, and as some who have begun his research can tell you, he is very oil hungry. I'm wondering how the community is going about his research and how many of those researches are you able to do in a week?

 

[Mcnasty]

I’m at 8/75. Not sure how many in a week but if I focused on just that I’m sure quite a bit

 

[Quovatis]

Oh, it's easy to get through the first 5. But once it starts requiring 100k+ oil per research, good luck with that.

 

[LordAnubis]

Quovatis not hard at all with mk5s running over abandoned bases....rinse and repeat. 100k a day easy

 

[Seraph]

I have 42 out of 75 finished. All the earlier stuff is capped out. Bazooka health is maxed while bazooka damage is at 3/5 or about to be tomorrow morning. I'm trying to get him to 75 asap because a new defensive building sounds amazing.

 

[MSS-Gaming]

I'm 46/75 and it is slowing down for me. On an average day I get somewhere between 70-85k oil. On days when I don't have enough to do a research I make use of my dock to occupy my workers. The last two researches in the tree require 5 workers which is a bit annoying. Does anyone know the cost for the capstone?

 

[Shrekx 74]

The oil requirements are ridiculous.

 

[SiuYin]

not yet started
I will start it after cwa offensive building completed

guess I can finish it in mid August

I'm glad about the fact that the researches themselves don't take too long, and is more or less along the lines of Amelia's tree.
In my view, high cost of resources is alright, but, worker and time sink are not.
I'm not trying to complete them all in one go. I prioritized the bazooka researches, but, interspersed with other upgrades elsewhere. My approach has been to let resources accumulate, while other upgrades are on, and when workers get freed up, push them quickly into the University for a day or less, before committing them to another long running upgrade.

I finished Computing in the library to help with Amelia's skills, and now I get more benefit with Haile. That 10% cost reduction really helps.

 

[vincentdang4]

220k, 8 citizens, 7 days. Assuming you have absolutely no research and university done

 

[GRANDPOOBA]

Just finishing triple alliance then back to School for me....I am sure he will be done.

 

[Mountainking]

I'm past the point of grinding to get oil stuff done after I finally finished Amelia. It will come with time. As and when I get the oil, I'll dump in selassie. So it can take 3-4 days to get 80k for me atm...lol

Agree. Haile’s time and worker requirements, and the fact that the early ones are 5 skills only, makes him easy to complete selective skills. Once I complete the bazooka upgrades I’ll get back to my HT upgrades. More oil!
Even Haile’s oil upgrades are a piece of cake after all the oil needed for Amelia.

 

[DRADIS]

Like most here it will take some months for me to finish as well.
With Amelia I was really grinding to get the 5th plane simce it increases offense a lot.

But grinding for this defensive building doesn't motivate me at all.
People already struggling as it is with my base due nearing max CWA defense.
I guess for some of you it feels the same.
If the capstone was any sort of offensive bonus, would you then try a lot harder to finish??

Interested in your thoughts.

 

[Manifesto]

Like you, people are struggling to take down my base but on the flip side, I don't have a problem taking down the bases I attack (except the really high CW ones!).
So even if the building gave an offensive boost I wouldn't bother getting it as my regular troops do just fine.
I'll probably get it if there was nothing else to do.

I missed this trick. Decided to skip ‘computing’ as other resources were not an issue and it would just beef up my score. Paying for it now as I grind through this research. It would havr helped in Amelia as well which now I feel was less painful.
