hi all,
I have a question for you all regarding managing stone,I see many top 20 players in international 1 server with great empire castle and 3 8 food 2 stone or 8 food 2 wood and the next is also 8 food.

My question is how do these players manage wood and stone early on?
and how do they manage later at higher levels.I am not at a very high level and already feeling the heat..

I cannot imagine how such players with 8-2 setup are able to manage these resources.

any ideas how?

they produce enough stone or wood by not building things there as fast or often. i have a stone 8 food 2 and a food 8 and stone 2. my number of stone is maxed at both. the problem is getting the other (for me that is wood)

I am a level 60 with 3 food outposts, and I get mostly of my resources from looting other castles (as I can have more soldiers that is easy).

Usually they started out with at least a wood OP, then for their next 2 they take food 8 OPs, and abandon the wood later for another food 8 OP... at least that's what I'm doing, except I'm gonna abandon a stone OP.

what is a resource village? not sure what to do with it?

[1403762] Sparkster [None] :: Oct. 16, 2012, 1:45 a.m.

It's a combination of raiding, patience, generosity from fellow alliance members, and strategic building. If you build 5 woodcutter/stone quarries and get the PO up to 200%, those 8/6 food outposts can produce over 600 wood/stone an hour easily.

In short, ship more resources up there and build it up. This is the wrong thread for this, there are other threads about Everwinter Glacier and dealing with multiple attacks.

at the beginning of game

u need wood and stone

so most player kick-off with 8 wood , 8 stone..etc

becos there is a lot of building require wood and stone

when u check info of each building, there is a maximum level

later, when army build up, there is no more upgrading and building
but their main castle still has wood/quarry production

those wood/stone become "big big big drop in value", in fact, too much

at that time, their army expands, army need food to feed

so they "give out" or "abondon" their 8 wood , 8 stone outpost

and get a 8 food outpost, 8 food outpost provide valuable and most demand resource for those player

so ... TOP PLAYER will change their 3 outpost to 8 food

hope this explanation can explain to u..different stage of this game

thanks all,but what if someone attacks you and your buildings catch fire? you will need stone and wood to upgrade them back to the maxed levels or no?one you abandon those op say 8 stone and 2 food,your stone production drops.people start attacking you and your buildings catch fire.what then? how will a top player manage stone?

anyone can be attacked and get buildings on fire no?

[1403854] JonBerserk7 (US1) [None] :: Oct. 16, 2012, 5:28 a.m.

the players that are that high in level will just use rubies to repair their buildings or they will have enough stored to be able to fix it.

[1403857] xJadetsssx [None] :: Oct. 16, 2012, 5:34 a.m.

Just because they are 2 wood or stone outpost doesn't mean they dont produce anything

[1403859] Ajitvik [None] :: Oct. 16, 2012, 5:36 a.m.

what if one is not a ruby player.?? will you guys suggest abandoning op's?

stored stone or wood as in how much??how much would barracks level 5 require in food and stone upon burning by 3-4 multiple attacks?

@jade,it is unforunate that i do not have a op with 8 food 2 stone,but with 8 food 2 wood which means that I just have stone in my main village.Can that suffice?

That is normal, when I was a low level, I only had a food/wood outpost, and I only had stone in my main castle, you can easily survive, if you feel someone will attack you, you can build some hideouts in your outpost so you can keep some stone that your enemies will not loot in the case you need them to fix buildings.
And in this game allies are very important, if you don't have something, your friends and allies should help you, is not a very smart decision to go all alone in this game.

[1403919] Ajitvik [None] :: Oct. 16, 2012, 6:43 a.m.

jade,how much per hour can you reach if you have stone quarries in your main castle only?
I have made 6 stone quarries..
i am talking about parks,once I can build them at higher levels..how much stone per hour can I generally make at level 9 and 10 with parks?

[1403926] xJadetsssx [None] :: Oct. 16, 2012, 6:55 a.m.

that depends of your population too, but I removed some of my decorations just to see and with 200% of Public Order (easily can be reached with parks) with 6 stone quarries and level 3 of research bonus I produce 755 of stone per hour, of course once I put all my other decorations I produce more than that, do not forget you can get +20% of production with a research tower.

building on fire, that production will reduce its function
e.g. farmhouse on fire, then food production by the farmhouse is reduced

once upon a time, a lot of my buildings has catch fire
important building (like barrack)... use rubies..
if castle/outpost get nothings to do...just use resource to repair it...no need to hurry up
so.......what.... np at all

good outpost has 10..( 8 stone+2 food, 8 food + 2stone, 8 food+2 wood)
top player has 8 food, not pure 8 food, it has 2 other (either wood or stone)
so it is never short of wood and stones unless u get crazy defeated...otherwise, they should have tons of wood/stone, u should not worry about it

apart from woodcutter and stonequarry
u should aware ..there is another source of wood/stone... u can farm from RBC

3rd source of wood/stone
may be from your castle ( that is a joke for this reply, do not panic)

player drop op, b4 he drop op, the army and resource in that op is already move to castle...
castle , in fact, much stronger
if u cannot defeat a player castle + o/p < army spread out>, i do not think u can defeat his castle <becos all army a now grouped into castle)

p.s. in future, wood/stone a basically used in making tools (siege and defense) or give out to other player...
