Btw a tip/ heads up.
I have reason to believe that the army that you encounter, its strength depends on your current, total army strength.
Therefore, you should search for a battle before upgrading your units, when you find a good battle/ rewards, then you upgrade your units thus you have a slight edge.
Or, well i suppose you can also say to this that upgrading beforehand will result in stronger enemies but greater rewards... And i wouldn't really have anything to say to that. Anyways, better safe than sorry. It's a significant loss of strength if you lose one of the early battles.
Also am i allowed to advertise the discord server i made here? Well, just join it. i'll be pretty active there to discuss the strategies for this event... |
At the beggining you should look for battles that give money/crystals/whatever, or troops/units?
Im confused when it comes to "Decision Making", and I think the event is totally about just that. |
My suggestion would be to aim for silver early on.
The first few should be troops ofc then from 5th battle or something get a bunch of silver first before aiming for new troops.
So that you can upgrade your troops as soon as you get them.
Oh right, tho i suppose this is already known, only the total army strength is taken into reference, so there is no point in collecting troops you aren't going to use long-term, it can also become a problem as it'd increase your army strength if you aren't using it. |
| @62 I would suggest to look for units you want and take silver only when you can't find anything |
| Is it better to upgrade existing amount of troops or stack those troops and then upgrade? |
| i agree with ICIP, getting silver early is a mistake, unless you have no other option |
#65 that is why i was recommending to get silver and always have some in reserve.
So that when you get new units you can upgrade them.
Because upgraded and non upgraded units do not stack. And if you have a full team of 6-7 units then you would end up with unusued units, i.e. making the battle unnecessarily harder.

When you think the next best step is to upgrade a unit, then you should get sufficient silver to do the job, then pursue more units.
What you do not want to do is get silver which then for a turn or two or more you do not use. This means that your effective army strength has not increased, which by consequence means your next fight etc will not reward so many troops/silver, but will also potentially result in a greater amount of troops lost. The more battles you do without using the silver, then the greater this issue becomes.
This is of course from a person who has not done as well as others in this, so cannot speak on those terms, though I think the stats of theory is sound. |

I agree 100%. And I got no troops I wanted to take and ended up with almost 130k silver after day 2 =.= GG no chance this event. |
| Always go units first, take silver only if you need it. That is because you can use units when they arent upgraded, but you cant use silver if you got nothing to upgrade. |
| Don;t forget about magic units, Ive been caught ut by divine retribution of thrones as well as tribal cyclops (so used to blind always being used I forgot that the AI is going to use meteorite shower) |
| regarding chieftains, can using multiple stacks each add +1ini to the same troop? |
| I doubt it, but don;t know for sure. However, in this event if you are splitting stack you are recruiting wrong. |

@62 I would suggest to look for units you want and take silver only when you can't find anything
Best piece of advice.
Day 1,2 mistakes - Choosing higher tiers creatures like hydras, sphynx, trees.

Still facing the problem of having a weak army. The good thing is that at least it's much better today. I even have a couple of silver upgrades set up and my shooters are getting stronger.
Unfortunately I didn't get my favourite shooters from last time. Didn't find a single stack of succubi or cyclops. And only found one stack of magi, which is ok but not great. |
Hmm I forgot in this event we can watch others' games. Yeah from the looks of others' armies I completely messed up this event, probably not even top 500 by the end :(
I thought they totally nerfed how many bowmen and other shooters we can get which is why I kept never getting shooters but right now I saw someone with 500+ bowmen and tons of other shooters. Must have simply been very bad luck. |
FSP farming it is
