#ELVENAR GEMS TOURNAMENT TROOPS UPGRADE#

Tools, seeds and orcs are resources to consider other than military AWs when choosing where to upgrade.Īlso fun to think about is the better you get at the Spire, the stronger your city is for tournaments so the more kp you get.so the better you get in the finitely a rewarding endeavor. And if you don't fight.you're still using a lot of them to convince. The tool refill instants are good but they go quickly once you really start competing. I found the endless excavation more helpful than ever before because I was using so many tools to retrain troops so quickly. Also come up with a strategic plan for when to place your temp boosters and polish your pets to get the most out of them for both. I'm playing with a lv 10 Fire Phoenix but no Bears.I place a Dwarven Armoror each Monday along with UUU and any other temp boosters I have in stock. The balance really took hold when I stopped convincing in the Spire and started fighting the whole way up. I set a rule for myself that I'd only use TIs that I craft in my MA to bust through gates in the Spire. For that my best advice is wait at the gates of the Spire for as long as possible.as tempting as it is to use that 5hr TI you just won in a Spire chest.you will miss it a few days later mid-tourney when you find your troops starting to deplete. Aldarion covered most of what I'd have suggested.The really fun part is re-thinking priorities in my city to figure out the balance of it all.for example finding a happy balance between troop usage and Time Instant usage. It will be exactly the change of pace you are looking for I think.

It took about 3 weeks to really get things in place and it has been a ton of fun. I'm not tournament/spire only.but have paused mid-chapter 14 to get my city up to the task of reaching the top of the spire each week while getting 3k or more in the tournament. Still, I'll probably get bored and decide to learn the diplomacy just for a change of pace once I don't need Sentient goods for anything else. Last week's dust tourney I decided to go all in to get my dust relics above 1k (got them to 1.2K) & broke my personal best with 7.4K while completing the Spire, so I'm pretty happy with my military setup. I've been completing the Spire weekly & have a 5K tourney average. While it makes sense that making use of more of the resources available to you would make it easier to get higher tourney scores and in the spire, I prefer combat. The ones who use a combo of cater/combat for tourneys also use the combo or straight diplomacy for the spire. Some of my FS members who mostly use combat for tourneys use diplomacy or a combo of diplomacy and combat in the spire. I'm pretty well set up to use mostly combat for both tourney and spire but I don't necessarily think that's the best or most efficient set-up. It's for their effect on Shrewdy Shrooms rather than their own contribution to training size. I settled on that lvl due to size and I don't need more than the 5 max lvl I have for orcs they're quick and cheap to build so I put them in and sell them off when I need the space. I'll also use more lvl 15 armories to drive up my training size.

I'll use the space to put out more military bldgs (vallorian valors, grounds of the Orc, etc).

I'll finally get the Council Hall upgrade tech finished within the next day, so I can take out most of the settlement and finish with PP's. I just don't see anything I want in Ch 16. That means I will be focusing mostly on tourneys and spire, too. I'll be watching this thread with interest since I've decided I'm not going to even open Ch 16 for awhile. Crafting the three temp military buildings, especially the UUU for boosting troop health, helps a lot, as does getting very lucky and winning Dwarven Armorers on a regular basis from the Spire, also for their health-boosting ability.īy the way, what about chapter 16 has got you down? I just got the second researches done for the two embassies and everything seems to be going smoothly so far for me. Those two are probably more important than the various military AWs, unless you have those Wonders at very high levels. The fights themselves are the same, just your losses are higher because you have bigger squads.Īlso, hopefully you have a maxed out Fire Phoenix and Brown Bear, as those make a big difference in damage done and in troop replacement. Or not so much harder as it makes you use more troops. One big issue you may have is whether you have been researching all your optional Squad Size upgrades up to chapter 16, because that makes all your tournament and Spire fighting harder. If you are looking for a military focused city, I am sure there are a lot of them out there.
