Running without banks

[likethesilver]

so far ive only been broken once all age and that hit was first hour oop plunder >.< 0 acres lost in combat so i cant comment on durability lol

my monarch HATES high homes, but i usually ignore him and run high homes because i get the same effect from buildings as the guys who dont but also get a better econ and better military.

currently in EoWCF and im training time comes up in two days so im trying to figure out whats going to get me the best build for running an a/M. I'm on the top end of the land distribution so i suppose a higher def strategy would be better

I run libs no matter what pers I am, sage just gets the science easier, gets higher sci quicker/and higher ceiling, and keeps it much easier.

For a sage I would still go 10% at ~500, 15% at ~750, 20% at ~1000, 20-25% for ~1350+, anything beyond that I would only go 30% if I was a dwarf sage (mega raging BE bonus).

Also depending on KD role 15-20% can still suffice even at the higher/highest #'s, it just depends on what your individual preference/goal/role is... like a heavy hitting undead or orc may only need 15% at 1300 bpa (10% at 500-1200) depending on what ever the kd is facing.

My BE is typically at 100% not including tools bonus, it's around 89% right now b/c I have around 5 pez/per acre. This is a rough estimate, but around 30% homes tends to give 100% BE if all factors are good. Usually 8-12 ppa (more for higher econ, less for higher military) is ideal.

Oh yeah, I'm a halfling sage this age. All the half's in my kd are sages, we ran halfling sages, faery rogues, undead tacts this round.

For an idea on what kind of faery rogues we are running, see the most excellent Kozi's thread on his most awesome A/M.
