Newer players just have a hard time understanding the importance of a good wall. Great guide!

Hahas yep, most of them are lost since experienced players keep starting over on new servers, keeping the secrets to themselves and knocking out the newbies. This should give a little guidance Hahas and thanks buddy!

Thank you. I myself am playing on a bigger/older sever and I have to say it really helped me!

You're welcome !! I remember starting on an older server aswell, as the only underdog kingdom (Icarum) with no cities at all, this play style allowed me to catchup to everyone and now we have the largest kingdom with me as rank 1 in it

Really informative for many players. I will link it in my kingdom chat. Thank you.

Really? That is impressive how did you manage to do that?

As said in my own thread where you posted this, thank you very much! I followed your tipps the last week and now I am at Castle 20 already with a huge gold garrison. I have not been attacked since then, even without shield. The average castle level in cities is 19-24 on my server, with only 1 whale (Level 30) and 3-4 smaller fish (28).

Even though I'm in the strongest house of my kingdom, it is only the second strongest kingdom and the one whale + his 4 fish are slowly eating the whole map.
They are unfortunately all in the strongest kingdom (skarn). the server is only 31 days old and its almost over.

Any tips on how to maximize progress under bad conditions like being one of the "dead" kingdoms?

That's awesome man, you are well on your way to surviving against the whales of the server, when I started in icarum we had no cities at all, while every other kingdom was evenly dominating with huge whales starting to emerge from athaly, I basically was stuck at the capital for a while and Kept checking the top 5 players on the server to find out how far off I am from them.

Then I realised the best way to survive was to improve on the aspects that visibly displayed your power as a player, these things were ofcourse Power, castle level (troop level) and research level (minor factor) these were the things that were visible on your profile (known to the enemy) and determined whether a whale would hesitate or not while viewing your city. My only goal was to rush my castle as fast as possible to catch up with the top 5 because it was scary seeing my troops at VIII AGainst someone with X in pvp or city siege, no chance whatsoever.

Thats when I just realised everything revolves around how high your castle is which also determines your troop and academy level. If you just keep focusing on your castle and the few important buildings I've noted, you'll get it up 2-3 levels above everyone else around you (top 30), (while everyone is busy upgrading every other useless building) thats when you'll have a huge advantage because everyone will have to wait 5-7 days per castle level + extra days for prosperity + extra days to gather all the wood just to catch up to you. Once you get your castle 2-3ish levels behind the top 5 players you'll definetly be safe. You'll be weeks ahead of everyone before you know it !

Thanks a lot , I appreciate it !!

Good job on the survival guide . Could be very useful for new players who try to upgrade all buildings/troops but end up levels behind...
I couldn't understand Jac prevention cos with possible 83% - 96% injury ratio couple of silver stacks won't be a problem or stop 12x jac/cleo bronze series...

Best strategy at this point is to have a nice friendly chat with the player.

Thanks ! And yes being a Jacques owner myself I'd say there is no absolute way of preventing Jacques raids however since more than half the players on every server has a jacques by now, chatting with each whale is a pain in the ass and can sometimes draw more attention to your name Hahas,
I'm just suggesting that by rushing your castle it'll raise the level of your garrison troops (or give the impression), raise the power deploy requirement during siege Which increases the attackers risks for reward and would make you less attractive compared to everyone else, if they manage to get 2-3 castle levels & garrison troop levels ahead then I'm sure jacques players will look elsewhere.

hey, do you have by any chance the amount of prosperity per building upgrade? so i can actually know what should i upgrade to level up my castle the fastest way?

i have a question about wall building:
since i am dwarf race - i have added silver snipers to wall as long as bombers sliver
i did not added mech or tank since they can die and they costy.
my question is: should i add them or focus on other troops to deploy for the gate?
