Infrastructure Standards for NemesisUnicorns
We have had a productive and fantastic year! Everyone’s efforts have paid off in a big way!!!
The alliance has moved from the 80’s to the 50’s - a huge improvement in might points. We backslid just a little bit when many of our heavy-hitters merged with S.T.F.U. but now we are headed back in the right direction once again!
Individuals have grown xp substantially.
We have seen great improvement in getting event books completed.
Better equipment was the reward for these players.
Many players have upgraded to 8F ops -- a very strategic move. Everyone should have 3 8f ops.
So now what ?
Well a lot actually. As we get higher in the ranks, our success will attract more and more attention === both the good kind (quality players wanting to join us) …..and the not so good kind (envious players wanting to knock us down a peg !)
So for the next six months, we are adding two additional focus items:
Infrastructure and Defense.
Infrastructure for Legendaries is essential in order to protect castles and play the game to your best potential. Once completed - it makes your life so much easier!! - even if getting there can be a challenge !
Defense has two components….1) the infrastructure part ( castle walls, gate, and towers) and the active defense ( castellan strength, tools strength, and the player’s knowledge).
INFRASTRUCTURE -- minimum goals for GREEN
15 granaries in every castle ( this is because the widget limit is 15)
Level 5 walls, gates, and towers
Level 8 Bakeries
Level 3 stables
Once the above is accomplished, stretch goals will become minimums. So for those of you that are ready -- get a head start on these.
Watchtower - level 10
Fire Station - level 3
The goal for food production in 8f op is 12k per hour. You will get to a point where you won't need defense or siege workshops either cause you will be winning all this equipment in events and you will need the space these workshops are taking up.
At lower levels 4-6 guardhouses were the norm but as you level up you don't need the guard houses, they are just taking up valuable space that could be used for granaries or deco items to increase your food production. Besides if a level 70/800 is going to hit you he won't bother spying so the guard houses are not necessary.
DEFENSE
Level 5 walls, gates, towers (repeated from Infrastructure )
Castellans with minimum 80% Range and Melee, best wall and courtyard bonus you can get
Main -- 700 defenders at ALL times ( unless fire casted)
No attackers in main when offline
OPs - 200 defenders at all times
Fire Cast capability at Main ( usually requires Level 3 Fire Station )
Tools -- Legendary’s need ruby tools to defend adequately -- and they should be a minimum of 10 deep in every slot
Discussion
There will be a lot of discussion about these….and it will be welcomed. Let‘s explain the rationale. Go check out the castles and ops of any top 50 or higher alliance. You will find that the majority of these alliances have primarily Legendary players…..and those Legendary players have already met the minimums outlined above. The truth is == we are pretty far behind in these aspects of the game. But we can fix that !!
Loot is critical -- been emphasized for a long time. So to support your infrastructure efforts, you should exceed the 1 million loot number == by a substantial amount. Since we will ALL be working on infrastructure, resources to share will be tougher to come by. We have emphasized farming your alts and have provided method, means, and education for you to take advantage before gge closes the loophole. Those that have begun this program have seen amazing results. Those not in the program will have to loot more the old fashioned way.
You don’t buy rubies ? That is not a problem... and also not an excuse. There are many very successful players that do not purchase rubies. Talk to Death Watch === he has yet to purchase a ruby with real currency. I am sure he will share his knowledge -- just ask him.
But what about my Hall Of Legends? Well == if you do not have good defense, why would you want 5 waves to attack with ? And if you do not have a level 8 bakery and 15 granaries in your castles, you won’t be able to feed the troops to fill a 5 wave attack grid anyway! And without a level 3 stable, your 5 wave attack might not make it to target before a war is over ! So you see, it really does all fit together.
Conclusion
Everyone has done a FABULOUS job of getting to this point in our efforts to meet our long term goal. No one said being in a performance alliance was a snap. It isn’t. But it is fun and the more you accomplish the easier - and even more fun - - the game gets. Hang in there! There really is and has been a method to the apparent madness of what SLC (Senior Leadership Committee) have been - and are - asking of you !! LOOK HOW FAR WE HAVE COME IN JUST 1 year !!!
Thanks to our good friend Thorten for putting this document together for us. I edited it slightly but he did all the heavy lifting. When you get time look at some of the level 70/800 players in the game, check out the infrastructure in their main and ops. Note how organized they are.
GO NEMESIS!
