I think the key issue is: how aggressively do you have to play a ch 3 city in order to top the spire weekly?
What are your thoughts on the time to get a second or third city to a spire run position and how much time would it take to get to the top of the spire and run the city to do it.
Look, I dont run push cities, or farm cities.... altho some of you might
think 2 of my cities are farms....
1st off, I'm on the old tech tree, so getting to CH3 is a matter of 1 thing.
Join a FS, and accept a loan to get thru CH2, then pay the loan back.
This only takes 2-3 weeks. Next optimize that city for catering, and avoid
all optional expansions/SS increases. Even then keep expansions to a bare
minimum to offset Spire cater cost. the 1st 5 fights in either the tourn rnds,
or the Spire can be won easily with Dogs & HM. Catering tourn thru province
8 is reccomended, but not necessary. 6 Prov x 6 rounds is 1620 pts.
As you do Events, you can add those bldgs that will greatly add to the goods
you need to cater each week. The only other thing is to get to 700% boost.
That takes a couple months, @that point its easy-peasy. Remember, ya dont
have to almost finish CH3, just get into CH3 and unlock 1-2 things.
I can't stop Inno from making some event bldgs better than others, nor can I
stop ppl from spending $$ to buy multiples that really stops Inno from better
balancing, well..... everything. The reason I ended up with 225+++ bracelets
xtra was a combination of those 2 factors. Inno cannot rebalance the game
for what <5% of the playerbase has or is willing to buy.
Henroo, I don't really..... my CH3 cities do 8 provinces/week to 6 rounds
and they top the spire every week. Outside of events/FAs... I do lvl-1
spire as soon as it opens, then I do lvl-2 when my MH recouperates, after
that I do 1 segment a day in lvl-3.... its pretty casual if ya ask me....
@Enevhar Aldarion , has just posted the new tech tree forces players
to reach CH5, and the badge req's are not as favorable in that CH.
That won't stop players from parking there if they want and running
a city that just excells @ bracelets. Will they get 225+ prolly not, but
I can reasonably see ppl having over 100 xtra, in a non top 5 FA FS.
