A basic tip
« Thread Started on Jun 2, 2003, 7:56pm »		[Quote]
Well, I did pretty well with Sylvans last round (My first round I actually got how to play... 4k land 600k nw.)

but for round 18, I just had an idea most of you have probably already had. I just wanted to check this over with the top sylvan guys, make sure I'm not making a big mistake.

I plan to come out with about 800 land after a day or two of oop attacks. I'll get my tech bonus, and I'll pick the 10% lumber production one. At about 1k acres, I'll stop loading from 33% smithies down to 20%, and switch voer to mass forest buildings. The first wave of forest buildings will be homes, obviously, for a quick jolt income. But the second wave, will be lumber yards. By about 4k acres, I want about 600-700 ly's. With the bonus Sylv's already have, plus the tech bonus, I'll be making enough lumber to cap my improvements (Which should've already been done by now, but just for fun.) and also be able to switch out for ore and platinum. That way I can phase out diamond mines (Which should be gone by then, also) and oremines which adds for a good 6-7, or even 8% more homes/ly's, which int urn gives me more defense.

After everything is capped, being able to get that extra bunch fo platinum will really help.

But open to constructive critisism.

Heh, at first I read that as if you were coming OOP with 800 acres and I was like wtf?! But I got it now, after a few attacks you wanna be 800 acres. That's decent...

Hmm, as for techs. I went straight for the plat tech last round, then for the offence one and then the lumber production I believe.

Not totally sure about smiths either, they've been taken down a little more, so a 33% bonus takes up 1/3rd of you're land...sooo I'm not sure about that. You'll probably want more LY, I stopped at about 1000 LY last round, and my imps were decent. Although Ross claims it will be much harder to reach max imps this round, so who knows...ya might even want a few more. I probably wouldn't even get all that many OM, 100 or so, if that. Just convert lumber for ore maybe...

This is something like what I ran last round...

166 Alchs(from protection)
9-11% Farms
7-10% Smithies(mostly to keep my employment up)

1000 LY
Rest Homes(ended up being 40%++)

~250 OM(too much)

6ish% Towers

80 Docks

Not sure how somethin' like that would stack up this round, but I guess you'd probably want Shrines...

9-10% Farms

1000+ LY
Buncha Homes

100-200 OM

20% Shrines

~6% Towers

50-80 Docks

Try to keep forests around 60% I guess...

Somethin' like that might work...

You'll want to use smiths and alchs OOP I guess...quite a few of each. Probably not too far off of last round...

I've been told alchs until hour 13 then smiths, somethin' like that...

Yeah, last round I came out in the top 5 Sylvs oop. Depending on wave I plan to run 100-125 alchs, and I plan on33% smiths until protection ends, and I'll let it drift down to about 20% by 2k acres. At 2k I'll switch to shrines, and have mega ownz0rage troop-non-dieage. =P.

It's like being a spud. With the portals. After shrines, I should have no problem replacing my troops and growing more after every attack. So growing should go faster this round.

In round 17 I ran 55% Forests, it worked out pretty good. 10% LY's and 45% homes. I just didn't grow fast enough due to bad login times to get a good income so I fell behind around 2k acres. And to think, I was keeping up with my packmates nehoma and Godric and w. Alien and them till then. =P.

Luckily Round 18 starts the week I stop going to school, so my login times are around the clock sice I'm too young to work. Gotta love being 14 (in ten days. =P)
