This is for the lower lvl players that do not have heck loads of resource production.
Sometimes trying to get a good colosus for a lvl 25 - 30 player can be tricky. So here is a Golden nugget to help you all out.
Attack inactive players that won't make you lose honor. (unless you don't have honor)
Farm their resources! Send attacks and grab all you can. Send as many troops as possible as this will increase looting capacity. (I can bet you some other players might be doing so) Alongside your own res production, this will greatly increase the speed at which you gather resources and you can put this all into your colossus
Always remember to espionage even though they may look offline
Go inside their castle and check for fires. Now i'm not saying attack every person who has fires but just look, if their castle is showing really big Fires and every building is alight then that means they are inactive so attack and take those resources.
Hope this helps out.
(If anyone else has anything to add, go ahead)

I would add that stone is better than wood(is you put the same amount of stone into collosus as wood, say 1000 of each, you will get more points from stone) also if you put your whole storage into collosus, reduce it one resource at a time until the number of points you get goes down by one then increase it by one to make it the max amount of points you can get for the resources you have whilst keeping a few resources that would have been wasted(especially useful for low level players)

event where you build a colossus using lots of resources. t the end of the event, it turns into a decorative item in one of your castles (you choose)

My opinion - the Colossus is a waste of time and resources. You can dump a LOT of resources into it, and in the end you are not getting anything which will make a significant difference in your overall production of resources and troops - you can get a decent Public Order item out of it, but the difference that that little extra bit of P.O. will make is not much.

I disagree. For low-mid level players like myself, 140-150 PO from a Colossus is hugely valuable to P.O. What's funny with this event is I already have 5 more PO on this one which started minutes ago than my last one, which was 124 PO at around level 25.
EDIT: Now 131 PO (I'm level 36)

Why is there a ranking system? Does the amount of PO you get depend on your ranking as well?

The ranking is just for comparison. The # of points affects PO.Why is there a ranking system? Does the amount of PO you get depend on your ranking as well?
