[Bishop]

[VT2]

Your defense is peoples' inability to get SoM's on you - not loads of forts.

[Smitty]

I'm playing Elf with 65% draft, 80 Mod OPA w/ Generals, 80 Mod DPA. 1140 acres. Running 15% TG's. Is it worth it to boost TG's to 20%?

Also paying 200% wages.

[Smitty]

Also, what is the max wage rate?

[Liringlas]

200%

Hi all
First of all this is my first age and I restarted about one week ago.
I random-ed into one of top 100 kd. Now most of them are around 150k-250k nw and 1.3-1.9 acres. From the start, I focus on military training and now I think I have enough force to break most around my size. I want some advices and tips for growth strat to grow as fast as possible. Please take a look at my province.

I am thinking of adding some homes in build strat.
I know my science sucks. I shut down the research to save gc for training.
Now I am running in sustain.
Btw, my kd is looking for war. If there is no one around my size in oppoent kd, what will be the best deed for me in war?
Thank you......

[VT2]

You need more elites, less banks, and barracks.

20% training grounds is always useful.

[Haven Vile]

Thanks for your insight. I was stuck thinking in the box as an orc attacker. You've made me realize as an orc I only need to make 2 things: Food, & more orcs. By dropping 25% banks I am running, I free up enough land for 10% TD, 10% Hospitals, & & another few %s in rax. My question for you is at what point do you feel that TG stop giving enough offense? I was running 25%, but dropping that to 20% opens some very nice doors(attacking 3 times a day). But I'd hate to give up too much & not be able to hit the turtles.

[gergnub]

stick with 20%. TD's? id skip the TD's and rather build something else, homes could be one option. youll need more sci + thieves if you wanna be an a/t. for now just grow some through attacking.

[VT2]

20% tends to be the upper limit for most buildings, but if you're in a position where desperate measures are required, you can press anything up to 50%.
Thieves' dens are only ever useful if you go for offensive actions with your thieves, and then they become mandatory.

[Haven Vile]

I'm already running 25% homes

My general strat looks like this:
Homes:25
Farms: 8
TG: 20
Rax: 12
Hos: 10
Guil: 10
Tow: 5
TD: 10

I'm actually worried that the homes is too much, but it does give me more orcs, and a higher BE. I'm wondering if 10% TD is enough. I'd like to use the thieves to get me horses, supplement my income to help me keep up those leets, & weaken my targets. Seems like a big job for just 10%.

[VT2]

Looks decent enough, but 5% towers won't give you enough runes to do anything at all, and 25% homes is too much.
Up your towers a couple percent, or ditch towers completely, and either steal runes from idiots, or have your teammates give some to you when you need magic.

You want 10-20% thieves' dens, depending on what ops you favor, and how much you rely on T to do damage.
Unless you plan to run hardcore nighstrikes and kidnappings on people, 10% might be enough, since all the loot-ops are easy.
