Topic: [77597] Optimum 3 Outposts?

[-77597] KnightBiff [None] :: Sept. 26, 2012, 3:43 p.m.
So, I couldn't find this on the forums, are the best 3 outposts to have:

a.) 8 Food, 2 Wood; 8 Food, 2 Stone; 8 Food 2 Wood

or

b.) 8 Food, 2 Wood; 8 Food, 2 Stone; 8 Food 2 Stone

I'd like to hear some higher level player's feedback on this.

Thanks,
KnightBiff

more stone you need it in the future

I was told b), since stone is needed more at higher levels.

I have b), and trust me it will come more in handy than a).

I think 8 food,2 wood
8 food,2 wood
8 stones, 2 food
trust me amigo, you need a lot of food in future even more than stones

Location is also important.

Well if you get destroyed then you will need resources to repair the castles.

so i would say that both a and b are good option, try either combination in a good location.

the difference between a and b is the stone to wood ratio, you need stone more often in buildings and wood more often in tools, and you need both, and i would say that it doesnt matter which one you take.

I think that having 3 shinies in a good location is the most important, then depending on playstyle you could choose what those 3 shines should be.

Depends where you want to go. I would have chosen two 2woods over two 2stones, because when all your castles are entirely developped, attack and defense tools (if you're not a ruby player) will use a lot more wood than stones.

If you're a ruby player, go strictly for two 2stones and one 2wood.

[1394773] KnightBiff [None] :: Sept. 26, 2012, 9:27 p.m.
So I'll probably do 2 stone ones, because those have the best location!

I knew that buildings needed more stone, but I forgot all about tools.

Thanks for all the help, guys!

Yes, tools do cost a lot of wood but the overall production in fully built castles/outposts is so high that the cost of producing tools is fairly low compared to production. Whereas, the cost of construction is roughly 2.5 stone for every 1 wood at higher levels.

Option B is much better. I had one food outpost and 2 for resources. Helped me a lot till lv. 40 - 45. I abandoned the stone outpost and had 2 8food/2stone and one of 8wood with intention of getting a 8food/2wood. Worked pretty good for me till this last update of moving castles. Now i'll abandon all outposts since moved my castle 600 miles away.
