Ask Realest Returns

[Sharaf]

there is no need to name calling but you are right, it's your thead and sorry for hijacking it :)
lets get back into the subject - what was your favored age and why?

moveing my question up since it got lost - would really like to know what was your favored age and what was uniqe in it to make it so.

[Tetris]

to be fair if hes in a real ghetto like bottom 50 kd or so there is a good chance that 40% homes can 100% counter any fireball ops he'd receive and if hes trying to grow and bank for a ghetto its not an unreasonable thought.

Of course better builds may include TG, Rax, Forts, hospitals, towers depending on relative size he is to his kd mates and will actually teach him how to play a real prov and give the option to play above the hard bottom of utopia

The ghetto im in is the King of all Ghetto KD's. 4 Active Provinces, 14 Provinces in protection, 2 Provinces that actually do something :).

which is y i wanted to offer a bit of validity to the concept before realest tells u its a terrible build and offers u a real one.

[Tetris]

Which build would you have gone for realest and persain? (I could still be hit by conquests so I. could never send out alot of offense.)

[ageisen2000]

realest still checking this?

[lastunicorn]

He posted in it yesterday, so yes.

It IS ask realest, see his response to nooblet..

when did this become ask nooblet? move along, man.

But since he didn't answer quickly and you did ask, i'll just say "depends" ;).

But seriously if you are in that much of a ghetto and you are at war, your build is almost 100% dependent on your size relative to the kd your waring and the rest of your kd.

If i take

Running 40% Homes, 20% Banks 10% Guilds 15% TD, 10% Farms, 5% other buildings in a ghetto war. Dont want to let the other KD have the war win so im trying to grow as big as i can, pumping science, etc since they really cant hit me effectively. What build should I run? [Im a halfling btw]

it as note that u are basically unbreakable, a halfer and "growing" because they cant touch you i would try to move into an unbreakable attacker who aids gold & solds to the other active people in your kd, something like
8% farms
20% banks
10% forts
15% tg
20% hospitals
10% guilds
5% towers
12% TD
would be a decent way to start the war and then slightly modify your build with incoming acres with the buildings u think u need. Also dont run any science during war, its a waste of money.

Halfer is all over the map though, your build can vary widly based on what a kd needs when u play in the ghetto. for example IF you were truly mammoth in size relative to the rest of your kd (ie say 2 times their size so u are 100% safe) i might up drop forts and tg then up banks to say 30% and add in some arms so u can draft at 1.5%+ pat and aid the hell out a another active attacker. Needless to say regardless of your situations if u have any decent tpa, you probably dont need homes. the +% population bonus should provide you with enough a boost that u dont need homes to boost your BE, and a decent tpa+TD as well as attacking should provide you with and equivalent birth rate bonus (ie kidnap peasents if u need/gain peasants in attacks)

I check this forum at lunch usually or if a kdmate of mine directs my attention to it. I've read people's questions in here but haven't gotten a chance to answer them because I havent felt like it. The reason I don't answer questions is because others are so eager to answer for me and it's a waste of my time to wade through the question at first, and then the bull**** answer you give.

If you are so starved for the attention, go make an Ask ____ thread. These players are not getting my help they need because nubs like you feel the need to interject for no reason.

This is why we can't have nice things. You have the monarch of a back to back winning kingdom here, who has played at all levels in the game, and is currently number two in honor (was first for 2 weeks while we pumped) with a kingdom that has 10 players recruited off this forum, and random nubs like Persain, Terrick, nooblet STILL have to try and get their say.

So what's the point of me checking this thread when it's just a massive clutter of crap? If you guys are serious about getting help from this thread, you reduce the spam and take your garbage opinions, which are bull****, out of this thread.

[KuhaN]

Yea, tbh, i like reading this thread and the questions asked, thinking about what Realest's advice would be, but its pointless for anybody else to respond to the questions, as no one person has the same thought process as another.

Also, if other people answer questions then it becomes more of a discussion. Whats the point of that when u can just start a new thread?

Please leave the thread to Realest, its far more interesting that way imo.

how do people run pure elites? i've tried running 20% banks, and a high amount of armouries, but i still end up growing quicker if i only train offensive specs, and elites with credits. basically i'm running outta money

thank you

[octobrev]

Training elites preserves your peasant count, increasing your income to better train elites. Being fat in a constant state of growth is normal. As targets exhaust, your epa will start to fill in allowing you to hit the breakaway explorers that would otherwise be untouchable with an ospec offense.

[Darkz Azn]

why no MKP?

[Palem]

y u no war? :(

[Realest]

y -U- no war?

[ageisen2000]

Realest... Only realest please.

What is the purpose of an UD attacker in war. Why do you need the rogue personality? Do you always go A/T as undead? I'm wondering also if I should train straight off specs and then do trad marches to make them elites, or if I should train straight elites now. Any suggestions as to a war strat for undead as well? I'm fighting people with generally higher defense because I had to restart my province mid age.
