Faery Attacker or A/t/m probably can't fit homes, and so doesn't (Needs TGs/Forts, and more TGs, too much). Faery attacker (of any sort) is bad without Fog though, so they don't really matter.
Faery T/M, if unbreakable, needs TD, Guild/Tower, and Forts. Beyond a certain point, homes will get more defense than more Forts, especially since they are more effective as a % than for other races. Thus, if the build space has "space", you probably want a good % of homes, between 10-20%.
If, for some reason, your Faery T/M doesn't have much space, maybe cause it needs lots of guilds still, or is sage and needs more TDs, you probably will skimp on homes first... since they are like forts, but with NW. (Or if you need GS/Hospitals, cause you aren't unbreakable, but then you need the homes a bit less too.)
Again, remember for most attackers homes are close, but not as good, as TGs. But with enough TGs the DBE makes them weaker than homes, so you mix the two. Same logic for a Faery, but the Faery has a small % bonus to its homes and more land to devote to defense mod buildings than the attacker, so the Faery will want homes more than the attacker. Since it was close for the attacker, we conclude the Faery will probably use at least some.
I like that explanation, Ethan.
Using high homes is the way of the wise.
I used them often and tested them with many races and personalities and high homes strategy was a superior strategy
Try running 40% homes sometimes and feel the difference
In case a new player is reading this, ignore the above post. High homes = fail.
In case a new player is reading this, i used high homes to great extent and found them amazing.
People in this forums hate high homes strategies, because they are close minded, ordray himself, tried to kill my province, along with his friends, and failed miserably, having beat him in an unfair battle, my superiority has been shown and thus my advice is to a greater extend , far superior than that of ordray regarding high homes.
Go high homes
That is a complete and total misrepresentation of the entire situation and you know it.
1.) You posted up my intel on the global forums not once but twice.
2.) I never asked for anyone to hit you, not even in my own KD which I was the interim monarch of at the time. Any and all hits on you made by others were of their own choice.
3.) You had 6M gc stored up and used every bit of it to explore which is why you weren't dead in the first 24 hours.
4.) I decided enough was enough and my KD moved to war with someone else.
Take it elsewhere guys...
I'm through with it now; couldn't let the lie stand.
no theres no debate here, i wont try to refute ordrays points, as palem said, that would be something one should take somewhere else.
Now with that said and done, As ordray said, i had 6 millions or more, tons of food runes peasants, etc ,etc etc, If you use high homes youll be rich and people wont be able to pk you that easy.
That said, if in war, do not rebuild the homes, until the end of the war, for the recovery period, high homes and the increased growth rate of the after war period will make your population boom quickly and your money will show faster.
I recommend high homes for any race , but in my last experiment it excelled with a dwarf , since the building is for free, just keep in mind that razing buildings is not for free.
Use high homes and you will be rich and powerful, i recommend them for players outside the top 100 mainly, if you are always broke, cant train elites, dont seem to be able to retal or keep your province together, if you live in the ghetto and are desperate and want to quit the game because your province suck, GO HIGH HOMES 45% minimum and feel the power
