They work pretty good outside the top 100 kds , and thats just because i havent tested them in the top 100, but im sure they are good even for the top 80, since the last 20 kds dont even full up 25 players . So the fact remains, that high homes will work very good againsat 80% to 85% of all the players in utopia, and they are very fun to play as well-
So not only are they effective ways to play for certain races and personalities, like the avian cleric, and all the clerics for that matter, and the undead tactitian, the fairy rogue, the halfling rogue, will all benefit and lets not forget the probable best homes every race, the dwarf, If you have a dwarf right now, and so far your numbers suck and you are having a hard time, use a high homes dwarf strat.
First if you managed to get your BE science to 20% like me, with my sage, your BE should be of 140% allowing you to run 17% armories to reduce wages and draft costs by 40%, and training costs by 30%.
If to that you add enough banks and 8% guilds for inspire army, patriotism, you will be training your army very fast.
Start low on homes and build up until you have drafted enough, I always keep the draft number at 99% with double wages . Eventually too few peasants can be drafted anyway, so you dont even have to care about changing those things.
High homes makes it easier to play the game, if you are not satisfied with your province right now, and dont have or want to spend ages before you have fun playing this game, then go high homes and start having fun already.
This ppl who are against high homes, want to use math and try to impress you with their knowledge of the game. Let me tell you that, i have been in many games and encountered such individuals.
It might be so that their motives to be against homes are not at all bad , but truth to be told, they have been played this game for too long, and are now blind from developing new strats, they are the old fart experts that got stuck playing the game in a certain way.
Let not the fossils of past ages prevent you from being good and having the best from time playing this. Whether you are a hyper active person that wants to attack 12 times a day , plunder, ns and fireball. Or you are the more thoughtful type that can only log once a day, with high homes, your fun is guaranteed.
