Here's the thing, I've been the target of chain massacre earlier, and have yet to recover from it. And I don't know if I should release some of my off specs to train into def specs, and maybe send some soldiers out to kd mates so I can bring my draft rate back to 65%.

Also, what do you guys think about my build strat? I'm desperately trying to bring my WPA back up and I plan to use it in war as well.

All help is warmly welcomed.

[Realest]

you prov is fine, pretty pedestrian. Just make learns and plunders, so your offense dies off and train def in the dead troops' space. If you get hit meanwhile, then u make make a trad instead, and your def should get up to par.

[Ishandra]

Good thing about DE is you can make good use of high guilds without even taking your WPA high, by ToGing or Dicing.

I agree with Realest, dont release those off specs, try and use them for plunders to pay for more def specs or elites.


If your staying out of war for a bit I'd also drop the Rax for either homes to help get your pop back up (since a lot of peasants will soon be wizards), banks to help with money, or forts to reduce those hits on you a bit.

too late for science....i would suggest raze the barraks and TG, then build homes and armouries. when the buildings come in , you can start training only Drow @650gc.

with all those offense specs, you'll have to attack out of this situation for land, not learns.....leave plenty of barren until Drow reach 60dpa , or 10 per acre of land, or ~15k drow whichever comes first...then you can start building all of your land into more homes and armouries.

Thanks, my kd asks that we try to plunder as often as possible to fund ourselves. So I'm keeping my rax. We should be warring soon. Oh and my science is pretty much rainbow coz I don't know whether or not to focus on one thing alone.

Focusing on 1 or a few sciences makes you less of a learn target, but having all sciences gives you more bonuses per point, so its really preference.

Obviously certain races/personalities/roles wont need certain sciences, plus a few people dont take combat gains as they hit for honour only.
