Topic: [77270] Leveling up too damn slow

[-77270] Loggan08 [None] :: Sept. 19, 2012, 4:20 p.m.
I find myself getting caught up in the side quests which give no xp, like fresh meat, fresh supplies, and all of these.

How long do these side quest continue, somebody please tell me the truth.

[1392129] bobbysbro [None] :: Sept. 19, 2012, 4:22 p.m.
for ever and u dont have 2 do then straight away

I suggest simply going for the XP quests if you wish to level up fast. Forget the others.
You'll find yourself level'ing up a hell of a lot faster!

Wait so those sidequests actually go on for ever?

I don't know when they stop, but my "The Age of Sword" is at 55/60 castles looted.
I don't believe they go up pretty fast too after each of them are completed :)

Another question, how many soldiers should i have in my main castle if im level 36 (only defence 50/50 ratio of helbardiers and longbowmen)

[1392139] m50002 [None] :: Sept. 19, 2012, 4:46 p.m.
a few suggestions:
If you get a quest for say making more falling rocks--bring them in from your outposts back to the main--you will likely replace them soon anyway with flaming arrows. If you get one for making more dummy soldiers make them when you are out of balance and need the reward have more of what you are low on. I like to make some of the soldiers required and if i am low on food--send them out to the RB's right away as soon as i get credit for making them.

[1392144] Loggan08 [None] :: Sept. 19, 2012, 4:56 p.m.
so if i have 20 dummies in an outpost and i get a quest that says make more dummies, can i just send them over to complete the quest?

[1392147] m50002 [None] :: Sept. 19, 2012, 5:01 p.m.
EXACTLY :) other wise you are just wasting resources. I do that with soldiers and dummies--i don't use the dummies anyway becasue they are visible on the spy reports as a dummy (this might have been improved though since so many can tell the differnce).

if you are leveling too slow, start hitting rbc. level 13 give 8 exp a pop... level 1 give 1exp but eventually it pays off... you just have to hit a lot

you also get coins and resources. at level 13, they give 1k gc and about 500-600 in resources (total, including food)

[1392191] DamianFighter [None] :: Sept. 19, 2012, 7:28 p.m.
Focus on optimizing resources production in main and outposts at the same time and build the outposts, leave the dwelling quests always last to complete as they lower your production and build decorations after them to balance the loss in production. don't go for the easy deco, use the most space efficient of them.

[1392209] k3rb3r05 [None] :: Sept. 19, 2012, 8:03 p.m.
i build inventories. cheap and fast. later on, i replace them with more resource hungry decos, ie park

i don't have dwelings in my ops, as i hit a lot of rbc for gold , so i got plenty of space to go around

[1392235] Loggan08 [None] :: Sept. 19, 2012, 9:18 p.m.
The thing is i have so many defence tools and dummies, maybe thats were my time went.

[1392238] DamianFighter [None] :: Sept. 19, 2012, 9:28 p.m.
The dummies are useless, the tools no :)

[1392245] 1882a [None] :: Sept. 19, 2012, 9:50 p.m.
the dummies aren't useless, they have a very important function
i.e: if you have 3 piles of dummy spearmen on the left flank and 100 defenders on the middle and right, then the attacker will most likely attack the right, then when you see the attack, adjust you defences accordingly

I would really appreciate it if you could explain that a little bit more thorough.

After level 26 dummies are completely Useless, if you have helberdiers why using spearmen?

[1392293] 1882a [None] :: Sept. 20, 2012, 1:21 a.m.
I meant to say left, sorry

or you could just leave it empty, and the attacker will still attack the empty wall

anyway, u need those tools for future quests, so why leave them on the wall and having to rebuild them again? they aren't cheap...

Could yall clear up the contreversy with the dummies thing, i would like to understand what he meant by moving them to the left and then changing them to the right, that tactic sounds very interesting.
