How quick are you all progressing in the Medieval age?

[Jholar]

I'm having serious problems keeping my workers and researchers busy in the Medieval age without staying logged on and attacking every time my army is ready.

Those of you who have reached the Medieval age: Is it normal to get attached within 10-15 minutes of logging out? (generally 2-3 0 star attacks before a 2 star puts me into a peace treaty). How long did it take you to save up resources for each upgrade (without IAP? I was hoping to be able at least manage 500K food a day to keep my blacksmith going but thats a lost cause because there seems to be no good raiding places, Im I'm stuck having to make 20-30 30k food raids per upgrade (assuming none gets stolen).

How many medals do you have?

You can focus on upgrading your Barracks capacity and your troops. You can then raid those rich Gunpowder Age fellas. You don't have to 5 star them, just have enough army to take as much resource as possible.

Also don't just spam every unit on an opponent. Deploy a few troops and bring their defending troops merry-go-round the base while u deploy other troops to hit the resource buildings.

You should be getting an average of 60-70K. The highs are 200K but difficult to come by.

I just reached Medieval yesterday. My priorities are getting all available buildings/traps built then getting my new base setup going.
After that I plan to get my baracks upgraded so I can start upgrading troops and maxing troop capacity.

Around 700, I can two star most gunpowder age bases and look to earn 40-70k minimum per attack. I have all barracks upgraded, all primary troops upgrades, and am working on the ballista right now. I also have 3 catapults and am upgrading them along with my walls to LVL 5. I think a better way to phrase what I'm going at is: does it normally take 2-3 hours straight playing and staying logged in to get a single expensive upgrade? Does this stay the same in the gunpowder and enlightenment ages or does it just get worse?

That sounds really interesting, do you have a video of that tactic. I do some messing around with horse raiders, but never something like that.

My medals have been edging up towards 700 i was worried i was getting too high.

I have been trying something similar to firedancers strategy. I Send in a mob of Melee/Archers to distract all the defenders. Then i mop up with 6-8 Calv raiders. I like having a wall breaker for utility as well.

The idea of a lighter hit-and-run version of this is appealing. I will run some tests tonight.

Unfortunately, I don't have any videos of it. I've been thinking how to become a youtube celeb by playing games *HeHe*.

Anyway, Horse Raiders are important. When everyone is occupied with buildings and infantries, use the Horse Raiders to loot those piles of gold on the roads.
