Hello all! :-)

I have been experimenting with my castellen and gems. And I was wondering what you guys thought was best... Either the Rebellion gems or the Rampart Gems. (CY bonus or wall limit increase)
So what's better?
350 men on wall and +40% Courtyard? or 511 men on wall and +10% Courtyard? Because those are my best I can do.

Thanks. :-)

Also, when will the changing gems stop being free? Because goodgame studios has made it temporarily free.

Well I'd say it depends on the set , my tip is get every set twice make 1 full on flank/wall and 1 full on cry so you can always adjust ^^

yea as herv said depends on the set...if the set already has a lot of CY get some more wall...vis versa...although I normally go with a majority CY no matter what the cast...sometimes 3CY 1 wall...because usually the main fight happens in the CY...it also depends on the attack....if its a 6wave coming at you they will almost definitely get through the wall....so you would go CY

haha, That's very true. Though I'm not that good yet. But I think I will specialize my Nomad cast with three Courtyard and one wall, and my samurai cast with three wall and one courtyard. since my samurai cast has a 20% cy already. So I will have two that are better for different attacks. I'm actually close to getting the secrets of the forest spirits cast so I'll put the cy gems on that most likely.

But does anybody know when the free removal will end? gge stated a couple weeks but it 's very vague.
