Not really sure about either, but ask the players at the top end of the ranking for the first.

OK, but I am stuck in my castle as it is moving to another site in 23 hours only have food for 11 hrs, what happens when the food is gone?.

You lose the men that are causing your food to be lost

Example: say you produce 200 food and you have 100 men consuming 400 food, once you run out 50 of your men will abandon you so that you can feed your men, 50 men eat 200 food

Well, that is only partially true. Not all soldiers consume 4 food per hour.

Alright, but the player that asked that question joined two days ago, so he could have been confused.

how many men can they or you support without losing food? and if you or they are losing food, how much men do you or they have?

It's normal to be far into the red, i.e. consuming more Food than the castle produces, if one has a "lot" of troops there. Obviously, it's important to maximize the amount of Food the castle produces, and get all the Food RVs you can.

Beyond that, what really determines the amount of troops you can support is your tower raiding, and a Bakery. Yes, the Bakery is a ruby item, but it is essential.

Example: Level 4 Bakery means 40% less Food consumption for troops in that castle. So, for troops that consume 4 Food per hour, normally, it goes down to 2.4. If a castle is producing 4000 Food per hour, then without the Bakery, 1000 troops can be held there, while breaking even on Food. With the Level 4 Bakery, and now with 2.4 Food consumption per hour per soldier, you can have 1667 troops, and still break even on Food. So, a 67% increase - that is HUGE.

Best use of Rubies is to get your Bakeries. If you don't buy them, it takes patience and work - keep hitting the towers and the dragons and the fortresses. Do what you have to do, and get your Bakeries.

Then - tower raiding. This is THE most important thing, to keep lots of troops. Burning Sands and Fire Peaks give the most Food. It's very important to raid the towers a lot, and I mean a LOT, to level them up - they give more Food at higher levels - and to get lots of Equipment items for your Castellans and Commanders. The raiding gives you lots of Coins, too - which also are very important.

The Food from tower raiding - a level 62 tower in Fire Peaks just gave me 9924 Food from one hit. The Commander only had +7% for resources plundered. So, no matter what Commander I use, if I just send out one round of raids and hit 9 towers, my Food storage of 81,000 will be full. I can be -9000 or -10000 on Food, and as long as I hit those 9 towers every 8 hours or so, I'm good on Food.

Lots of players keep 5000 or more troops in Burning Sands and/or Fire Peaks. It just takes logging in once in a while to send out the tower raids, and/or sending Food from other castles.

If one is going to be sending out a lot of attacks from a castle, you can get up around 10,000 troops in there, but now you're deep into the red, like -18,000 or -19000 per hour, so you need to be bringing in that amount per hour.



There was one time in Empire, with a lot of troops. Obviously, that's a short-time deal, as with no RVs and towers that give a lot less Food, its rough to maintain things.

You will keep all buildings but a few random ones will fall to rubble.

I have this mission, build 7 houses level 7.
I have now. But the status monitor says I only have 6?
I do something wrong? Or is this a bug?

Screenshot please. Maybe it is a bug. Try reloading or logging out and then logging back in
Is is working now?

Build another one.

what is a spam folder

[1646633] papa Janne [None] :: Oct. 13, 2013, 8:37 p.m.

I think it is solved.
I logged out and in, and now i see the upgrading is completed. Mission is not yet completed, because it now says I don't have the neccesary 300 civilians yet. Only 278.
I can't upgrade the houses because my level is too low, so, I guess I have to build a 8th one indeed.

I'm sorry, I know there must be an answer but I can't find it

How long will it take before the castle of an inactive player will be ruins?
30 days or (level + 1 day)?

Neither. It is around a week for low levels and around 3 weeks for higher levels. (Don't ask, I'm just saying what I've been told. Don't know exact time or level)

I can't be bothered looking back to try and find an answer....I stole a resource village in Everwinter from another player and now they are threatening me with an alliance attack. Have I done something wrong? If so then that's fine, I wasn't aware you couldn't take them from other people like this person suggests. Just want some clarification thanks

You can take it, but expect hardcore retaliation. They want to protect precious Resource Villages for their alliance members.

RVs are both an individual and team effort.

A stupid question some may think but does GGE ever show night time - I never go on at night but those who do, when you go on world map is it dark or the same as in day?

It's always the day.

Does the research that reduces the time it take to send troops to other kingdoms also reduce the time to send troops over in the Thorn King and Coast of Blades?
