Topic: [77025] Crazy ruin outpost!

[-77025] 123123ABC [None] :: Sept. 13, 2012, 10:05 p.m.

Hi on my server, a obvious Ruby player has got into ruins.. But his 3 outposts remains.
I am just lvl 16 and cant get one more until I'm lvl 20 or so..

this outpost has like 10 falggpoles,
lvl 3 castle walls
Moat
at least 15 level 2 towers
20 witchwells (for drowning witches-public order)
Storage lvl 4
Barrack lvl 5
8 farms at lvl 6
40 houses at level four (for increased population)
2 stone buildings at lvl 8 (for getting stone)

So obviously this would be quite a catch for a lvl 16 player..

My questions are:
can i capture a outpost from a player in ruins ?

How long will it take before its gone ?

Will all the buildings collapse if i take over or just some ?

Can i use for example the level 5 barracks ?

1. Yes you can capture an outpost of a player in ruins
2. That is something unkown, the time from ruins to dissapear from the map is something no one can tell you exactly how much time will take.
3. Some of the buildings will go into rubble, except for Decorations and ruby buildings, and some buildings like the keep
4. If the barracks don't go into rubble yes you can, you can even recruit all the soldiers even if you don't have the level for the barracks unlock

Sweet.. It just sucks that I cant get another outpost right now.. If the outpost vanishes, I guess I'll have to keep my eye out for another one like that But i guess this is a once-in-a-year chance..
You see, on my server, quite allot of high level players are inactive.. this makes it easy to "climb the ladder" fast

[1389793] J.I. Joe2 [None] :: Sept. 13, 2012, 10:14 p.m.

What you should do right now...
Is abandon your current outpost, and capture that one.
Before you do so however, is it a 6/8food outpost?

That is the crazyest thing, ITS A 8 FOOD OUTPOST!!

[1389811] 123123ABC [None] :: Sept. 13, 2012, 11:08 p.m.

but its "20 distance units" away from me.. Is this too far to be able to protect it ? Still with all this food and castlewall space, I can easily get a strong defence.. Should I really abandon my outpost ? :S I'm affraid of loosing everything.. Or can i capture mine back with the same buildings ?

[1389819] xJadetsssx [None] :: Sept. 13, 2012, 11:32 p.m.

Do not worry even if it is at 20 distance it is a food outpost you will have lots of soldiers there, and when you unlock the research tower you will have the chance to unlock the upgrades to speed up in 100% the movement of your troops between castles

20 is good. Go for it.
Your next outpost should also be a food outpost (with 2wood), but try to choose one between both your outpost and your castle for maximum efficiency.

Personally, with a outpost that built up, and you being a lv 16, i wouldn't go for it. If anyone going for their 2nd outpost, or even going for their 3rd notices you're the one owning it, they'll probably take it from you. I mean honestly, I probably would.

[1389883] 123123ABC [None] :: Sept. 14, 2012, 6:02 a.m.

Yeah, I've thought of this... And the outpost being 20 distance units away I wont be able to defend it effectively...

[1389884] 123123ABC [None] :: Sept. 14, 2012, 6:07 a.m.

On the other hand, with 8 food production, and high level farms.. I guess I could have a serious ammount of soldiers.. (just like xJadetsssx said)

After you take the outpost and it becomes yours, how fast does the %fire damage increase?

@123123ABC go for it!

what do you mean I don't understand your question?
How fast the fire it increases? what you mean?

[1389892] Mithridites [None] :: Sept. 14, 2012, 6:57 a.m.

Once you are able to fix the buildings that have caught fire in the outpost while you were taking it, and you're fixing these buildings one by one, and the other buildings are still burning, how fast does the %damage on these burning buildings go up? 1% per hour or 1% per day?

0% the "fire" of the buildings never increases with time, only with another attack or a sabotage mission

[1389896] Mithridites [None] :: Sept. 14, 2012, 7:04 a.m.

Thats good to know.
I'd ask if you're sure, but you're xJadetsssx

[1389898] Punk Thug (US1) [None] :: Sept. 14, 2012, 7:08 a.m.

I would take it now. Even 20 miles away, you should be able to defend it with troops, not to mention you'll get ALOT of help doing it with that lvl 5 barracks. if your in an alliance, ask them to help out. Taking an outpost is hard work, but you'll get the hardest part done for you: Fighting with the former owner.

[1389973] 123123ABC [None] :: Sept. 14, 2012, 12:09 p.m.

Its so hard to decide.. Howcome is it hard to take this outpost ? There shouldnt be so many protecting right ? :S

[1389975] mathhead2 [None] :: Sept. 14, 2012, 12:17 p.m.

go for t is a great deal if i were u i would abandon my 3rd outpost for that it sounds great :D:D:D
