Hello everyone.
I am grabbing my third outpost finally but I am torn about what type to grab.
Currently, I have a 8food/2wood that we will called "OP 1" for this conversation.
"OP 2" is a 8 stone/2food resource.
For my third, I could grab the obvious 8wood/2food to complete the usual trinity of resource nodes but I am thinking I might just grab another 8food/2wood.
My reasoning is the fact I will be able to field a much larger army for either offense or defense. I know armies can be quite large and feeding them is always the challenge. However, I worry about the resource costs latter in the game. I know research alone takes tens of thousands of resources. So far, my armies have been able to raid over 2k of each resource from inactive players (okay, sometimes active too
)
What is the recommended third outpost? I am curious about the opinion of high level players. I have examples of both strategies when I look around.
Thank you all.

Being a high-level, I recommend three 8/6food outposts, preferably 8, but 6 is good too.
Since you seem to really want to keep that 8stone outpost, then I suggest what you intended, which is 8food/2wood. At least that way you'll have a good amount of wood coming in, and increasingly* great amount of stones as well, while still being able to have a lot of soldiers with two food outposts.
Food outposts all the way buddy. Trust me when I say you'll be thankfull.

I would go with 8 food/2 stone, and when you get to a higher level, abandon the 8 stone/2 food and replace it with an 8 food/2 stone. But that's just my opinion, and I'm only a level 47.
But this is a war game and food is the important in the end. Get an army and you can farm enough resources anyway.
