STRUCTURES

Twillight · February 17, 2003, 09:09:03 AM

Goody. Structures. another important issue in the game.

if you're still under protection, mass up on some troops and towers- but concentrate on markets. markets=good.

Barracks: duh. Having a couple o' thousand is fine.

Camps; Make up for networth loss- have about 2.5 camps for every three barracks. (My cauculator never lies).

Tents: Mass up on them- a lot.

Foragers: Improving net is everyday stuff if you have around 500 of these. Some empires are consisted totally of foood!

Guard Towers: Towers are your best friend. Mass up on them.

Anyone has different ways of looking at buildings?

On the old server I had 5,000 barracks with 30,000 camps.

On the new server I have 5,000 barracks with 200 camps.

QuoteCamps allow you to reduce your military expenses by more efficiently housing your units. They will also lower the price of mercenaries. Those first two benefits do not increase once you have 30%Camps. Camps also increase the rate at which more mercenaries are available.

*Shrug* I don't see camps as very important.

Errr..... You need tents, everyone does.

calria · February 19, 2003, 07:22:31 PM

they cramp my style...

remind me again why I should have tents?

Because although Markets increase the amount of money contributed to your empire by each worker, you need tents to get more workers. More tents = MORE MONEY.

Germania 4 · February 19, 2003, 08:25:24 PM

I always thought markets had a base value for income. Tents increased population for the tax gain which led to being soley affected by the tax rate.

So what your saying is that income from markets is not a base value but is dependant on workers. Which would explain the wierd number I got from my calculations?

oooooooooooooooo money....
*drools*
*makes picket signs advocating tents*
Build more tents, my minions! Build!

Guhh... I remember being Bogfoot at one point.... I had like 40,000 barracks or more... And... 200 camps..... Hmmm... Perhaps that's why my economy always stunk? And in constantly trying to help my economy, I had around 100,000 markets..... I also had like 60,000 guards..... And like 25,000 huts.. With that many huts, I don't think I could have done any leader stuff, but remember--back then there was no different locations, so no having to prepare raiders, also, there was no heal, or special species ability... I found no need for any stuff at the General's Hut.. So, I was racking in the leaders, and loyalty, while not having to worry about annoying 'mission foiled's..... So, with that strategy, I ended up having an awesome army, while having a horrible economy, so I usually had a much much larger army than anyone else with around the same networth........ And that's good

I'll sum it all up: Build Barracks

Of course, you probably have to be a great player like me to use this strategy correctly and get a successful result.

Hehe, once on the old server I had around 80,000 markets, and 300 camps...I was doing fine...gaining 5 mil dollars a turn too...

I mostly build up on tents, barracks, a little foragers, and resist the urge to build huts. And guards, of course. :D I have, like, twice as many guards than everything else.

Menatus · February 20, 2003, 11:12:22 AM

On the old server right now I have 60,000 markets and 200 camps and I gain 7,000,000 on loot. But I was loosing 17,000,000 earlier.

Mysterious Guy · February 20, 2003, 10:16:17 PM

LOL. Twilight, basically you're just saying: "Mass up on everything." Which is impossible, of course. LOL

The all-barrack, many-hut, no-economy strat carried Warhammer into No.1 on the new server... Basically.

Orcrist · February 21, 2003, 02:58:56 PM

Hmmm....no- the best strategy definetely shouldn't use that many towers OR camps. You should have enough troops that you don't need to deal with these economy killers.....mage towers are VERY useful- alot of leaders=alot of troops you can kill of your enemies........
