Topic: [89645] Choosing 2nd OP

[-89645] SugarDaddy23 [None] :: April 29, 2013, 12:27 a.m.
I have a shiny food OP with wood as it's 2nd resource.
What other OP should i aim for?
I have alot of them in close vicinity to me
I'm level 20 btw

[1544315] g man4 [None] :: April 29, 2013, 12:28 a.m.
a high (not necessarily sparkly) stone one with wood as it's second.

or another with high food and stone as the 2nd.

Thanks there's actually a sparkly food with stone OP next to me
Also is it worth it to take a sparkly stone with food OP that's in ruins or should i just start from scratch again

might be worth it for the stone with food. it depends on how much of an army you want in the end.

developed stone outpost= quicker effect but less soldiers after it is fully developed.

new sparkly food= better army in the long run but more time and work to develop it.

It must be noted however that having more soldiers (and having more attackers) allow you to have more capability of looting NPC's and other player's castles in a food outpost.

In other words if you are an active player food outposts will slow your production of resources, but you will have more soldiers and you can loot more resources, reducing the amount of time needed to upgrade an outpost.

thank you jade. that's a good point. i was kind of hinting at it in my post but could not figure out how to say it clearly.

Sugar Daddy, how developed is the stone outpost because if at level 20 you can get your hands on a level 5 barracks, high level plants, walls and towers I would take the developed one. Also any ruby items inside?

If it's not all blinged out, then go for the food.

It doesn't matter now the guy's castle was deleted so all the progress is gone

Get a 8 food 2 stone OP. I have 2 of those and 1 8 food 2 wood OP and I still have to much wood and not enough stone

[1544794] SugarDaddy23 [None] :: April 29, 2013, 10:22 p.m.
yeah that's what i've decided to take

[1544796] Baldrick (GB1) [None] :: April 29, 2013, 10:30 p.m.
It's funny this actually. I have 2 food/stone and 1 food/wood.

This helped me a lot when building my castles, but now I'm always in need of wood as I make lots of resource tools for towers in other kingdoms and ship them over.

Depends whether you intend to do a lot of tower hits or if you plan to use resource tools for defending/attacking.

You have to work out how long you will take to build all your outposts compared to how long after that you will be making resource tools and decide which would be best.

Stone and wood in the same op?
