Upgrading Walls

[LordJestix]

So my walls are behind because if been focusing a lot on just upgrading buildings and moving on to the next age. I havent really been grinding a lot for wall resources because ive been playing a lot of other stuff. I was hoping to get all of my walls to level 11 during this event, i thought it was possible until i crunched the numbers.

With the 50% discount and the university research discount my level 11 walls will cost 1.8M to upgrade from level 10 per wall. That is as cheap as we will ever see them or at least as cheap as they have ever made them to date. It takes 243M resources total to do these upgrades. If we gained food/gold equally it would only take 1.215M resources each to essentially half what we need. That means just to upgrade the walls you need to farm 17.36M each of food/gold per day to get them done. Im going to say my average raid is a combined 400k rss or 200k each. That equates to ~87 attacks a day. Lets say you are really efficient and get lucky in what you find, and are able to average 20 attacks an hour, you need to play every day for just over 4 hours.

After crunching these numbers, ive realized there is no way in hell ill be able to get my walls to IA level. Especially since i still have 26 segments that are still level 9 i need to get to level 10 first. Its pretty depressing.

I don't know if you've taken it into consideration, but the 5 Good Emperors Event was updated again this week, and grants +120% bonus to Caravans, Farms, and Oil Well production. I don't think it equals 20 attacks an hour, but it is an bump to your regular resources.

Walls are a resource sink, when your workers (except one) are all busy. You can look at their enormous cost as their "build time", when you compare it to the build time of regular defenses, it makes sense. Getting all your walls up to 15 is about the same feat as getting all your defenses to Atomic level. An insanely long feat.

The returns on wall upgrades health fall down at about the time the walls start being very expensive, so at least it isn't that bad to have lower walls.

Plenty of players have maxed their walls by raid loot alone. It's possible.

You'll have to get your walls to level 13 for max IA. It's a grind, but I try to do 5 to 10 sections per day (even at full price). I'm almost done with level 12 walls, so I'm hoping I can make a pretty good dent in level 13 with next week's sale.

 

[LordJestix]

Oh i know what all of you say is true, its just i had my hopes of getting them all to 11 this week only to realize it isnt going to happen.

You should be able to average way more than 400K combined food and gold per raid, especially if you're in IA. Climb up medals with full army, and then slide down the medal rollercoaster with all raiders, and then climb up again. That's the quickest way to get resources. I don't attack with full army unless I can get 600K combined, and with raiders I try to get ~30K combined per raider dropped.

I have 92 walls left at EA level, so it's going to take me only 165.6 million to get them all max EAd. Next week I hope to get them all up to lvl 12. (I've already max IAd 20 wall sections around my refinery)

That's a good way of doing it. I'm all level ten walls in enlightenment age and all 11 gates.

 

[SiuYin]

I did a rough calculation, if I able to raid 80M per day, I would able to upgrade all my walls to level 15 when even ends.

It will kill me

You poor unfortunate youth with your 1st world problem that isn't going to be fixed in an instant. I really feel sorry for you!
I think you'll just have to ''work at it'', like most of us have done! High level walls are not the most important priority, but if you want them then work for them.

What age and medal count are you? Im not sure about others here but lately ive been coming across a lot of bases that are 300-500 for each resource. Im industrial and sitting around 500 medals and +/- 200 from there.

Im IA sitting usually around 700-900.

 

[JNation]

ah perfect, drop down a little in medals and i promise youll find some better looting bases. not to mention that half of those base are dead so traps and tc troops arent really and issues, and you wont really lose much of your army if any at all
