Ok, you just hit level 70 and you're wondering where to go from here. Let's see if I can help with that.
First, you're going to want to race to level 70/14 so you can start the long task of building granaries. To start, you'll be able to build 2 per day in each castle if you log on twice per day as they require just over 12 hours of time to finish. Let's pretend your 3 OPs are all 8-foods and you're going to start by the traditional 16 granaries per castle. If you can actually do 2 builds per day that will allow you to finish each of your castles in just over 8 days for the first level. Then race up to 70/25 to unlock level 2 and do it again!
You'll be able to build granaries to level 20 on your own. And as you get closer and closer to 20, they take more time. Eventually, you'll only be able to do one level up per day. What started out as 8 days to level up all granaries will turn into 16 days. Once you get your granaries to level 20, the architect is the only way to level them up. And it only appears once per week, so you'll be doing 1 granary level per castle per week. Because GGE removed 5hr and 24hr skips from the game, it's going to take you just over 3 years to finish 8 granaries in each castle to level 30.
Players like myself, who did this all before GGE's decision to "balance" the game by removing skips and slowing down your progression were able to level up our granaries fairly quickly - we could even get several builds per architect because of the skips! But what's time, right? It'll just take you 3 years to catch up - well, to where players like myself are now. And all the while we'll probably use you like a farm. But don't worry, just slog away.
Next, you'll want to level up at least 15 NPC towers in each outer to max level. This will take a ton of time, maybe 6 months. Some of the older players were able to do this quicker because they used bots, but botting is now banned so don't try that. Just put in the time spying and attacking NPCs as if that were fun for you.
You've just started down a long, tedious road of mostly attacking NPCs, waiting days and then weeks to get even 1 build off per castle. How much fun is in your future?!? So much winning.
Oh, and there is also the matter of collecting EQ and widget materials . . .

Within 2 months you can max any amount of tower (in outers in green it takes ages) here is the suggested amounts
Green : 40 [10 per castle]
Ice : 20
Sands : 35
Fire : 55
In green 40 for the food mostly not for the iron ore since you need it during CrapCrows and ForeignFuckups
In Ice 20 will do as in ice you will do the least and they give the least and charcoal can be looted from CrapCrows and ForeignFuckups easily. In sands 35 as for coins and oil but not as many as in fire since fire gives more coins and glass is harder to get from CrapCrows and ForeignFuckups. Now for what so you need all the coins you may ask? It is for the Loch Tech Monster it eats lots of coins and in return will sometimes , if it feels in the mood to do so , upgrade some of your equipment a bit.
Oh and tell me once you finished looting all your towers every day so I can stop by and take my share of it

Don't forget to unzip, drop your pants, bend over, and let GGE have their wicked way with you.

Don't listen to this noob. The real advice is to quit before you get too invested.

So now you start, 20 more accounts, load up with bots, spread them out in two or three alliances, and farm them, for goodies, get your friends to all play and have them do the same, Post the passwords on the alliance bulletin board, and soon you can rule the world. You get a dozen people playing, and you can have 6 of the biggest alliances in the game!!
Remember you get three warnings, per account before you GGE gets really really mad, and closes any account down so stop when you get the real REAL warning!

And of course - the little matter of 550 levels of the HoL. Which the older players did 50+ upgrades of in a day during another event you don;t know about - the Royal Capital!!

I managed 86. That was in about 8 hrs. And had planned for it before hand so had a ton of troops going out at the same time.

Guys give GGE a break... they only want the nearly two-thousand level 800 accounts on the German server to stay interested longer.
Wait... GGE wants to slow the progression of maxed out accounts? Maybe this update is flawed
