More Roads

[firedancer]

It will be nice to have more roads. I just love to connect the buildings together.

 

[Eddie F1]

Too easy. The skill is connecting with one piece less than you'd like. Main problem with roads is there is hardly any worthwhile advantage going to the trouble - the gold is pitiful, they don't speed your defenders in to action, don't make building construction quicker.. etc.etc.

IA 650% + 10% bonus, 10,640 per hour - still have some buildings to do yet. Only one not connected - a tower stuck in the corner, love it when a full on attack gets to 6 seconds left and they are wondering why they are about to lose their army (not that it matters much with TB)

 

[firedancer]

670% now. I still have space for 2 more buildings

 

[Chompman]

I would like the ability to remove them myself to a minimum of 5 or so as this way I take up less space plus easier to control the caravans.

 

[dbukalski]

Pro tip starting new city. Only drop 1 road. All caravans will stand on it. Put road behind coloseum or other building where it cant be seen and or protected easy. Deny raiders easy caravan raiding

 

[Eddie F1]

Just checked and I have 4 things left to build, so I guess 700% is maximum

 

[Eddie F1]

Level 1 Caravans make much?

 

[Michael4262]

that would only work to they blow that building up

 

[firedancer]

680% now and I too have 4 more buildings left to build. However, I suspect I can only reach 700% because I may need to put away 1 or 2 large buildings to make way for the smaller ones.

I'm sometimes so tempted to reveal my secret, but that would not be the logical thing to do, no?

Roads, are you friends. Use it wisely.

 

[Eddie F1]

Just found two more buildings in Library research, so 720% is max?

 

[Eddie F1]

Go on - nobody reads these forums

 

[firedancer]

Lemme try to achieve beyond 700% and get back to you ya. But yes, if successfully connected, it will be 720%.

 

[GroteKoning]

Eddie, yes I'll post some picture here (https://forum.nexonm.com/forum/nexo...and-strategies/471725-your-draft-base-desings), as this thread seems to be more focused on base layouts. Dbukalski actually have a valid point above, but as I already had the roads, I figured a way to use it to my advantage. Raiders love to chase the gold dropped by caravans. Raiders are too fast for mortars. One cannot rely on traps because the first dude will render them useless. The only way to slow them down is to make them attack worthless caravan gold and houses/farms.

Oooh, you silly little girl and your secrets

 

[GroteKoning]

lol, kilgore

 

[firedancer]

Okies, I have managed to achieve 700% building connections but I have 2 more buildings and can't seem to fit them into the road designs anymore. So, I don't think I can reach 720% in my design

 

[Aurelius...]

I agree with Dbukalski's strategy. I'd love to ditch my roads, caravans, possibly farms (though they slow down the 5 star attempts), 1 mill and 1 market (though we need the capacity for upgrades). I think selling or demolishing items in a base should be permitted.

 

[Eddie F1]

Add the suggestion to the 'Map Editor' post

 

[Chris Coley]

I tend to sacrifice road connection for defense. That has always been my strategy, though I'm sure someone else may disagree, but getting a bonus gold for perfectly lined streets don't amount to jack when your getting wiped out by raiders and troops on a regular basis.
