I'm only saying that a city that is built to support other cities are against the rules.
From that I think it's clear that a spire city that is built with the purpose to gather diamonds to be used in other cities is such a city.
If the player has another city I think building a spire city with the purpose to gain diamonds is cheating.
Sounds lika a classic push account as it's purpose is that the diamonds gained from the city shall help other cities.
Are you aware that the Portal Profit instants gives you Elvenarian Zero?
I've never actively collected PP but I'm flooded with them anyway. So I assume you should have some to spare that can give you the Elvenarian Zero you need.
As it's an AW with 2 good bonuses I think it's a no brainer to level it after all troop buildings started to work simultaneous.. Dogs are actually pretty useful for certain fights. I use them up to province 50 and by using them I save other troops (mostly LR) that I would have to use in those...
??? By doing about 50 provinces I'll get a lot of kp. That kp I use to upgrade AWs. Upgrading AWs is developing the city according to me. And if the tournament get a little bit harder from the upgraded AWs is no great concern for me as I expect to earn more benefits from upgrading them. So don't...
I play it to develop my city. You have been scared of upgrading AWs by reading posts here from other scared people.
I'll continue to play the game just as I did before. The big difference is now I don't have to see tournament as a chore tiring my fingers and mind by repeating tousands of mouse...
I've got 2 late game cities. Both do around 50 provinces. The only thing that might not be sustainable is my using of 2 DAs. Might have to use the equivalence of 2 or 3 UUUs. But thats a later problem.
Compare this to the discussion when spire came out. Then the majority on this forum claimed...
I think it's nothing new with that. I'm used to get unexpected losses from autofights. Not to often, but it happends and my guess is that's an unhappy combination of AI and terrain.
A bit curious, but what's better with flash? In my opinion flash is a memory hog that makes the computer slow after some time. Also nice to not having to upgrade it every now and then.
Testing it on Beta first will hopefully stop any severe bugs go undetected before releasing it to a wider audience. So testing on beta first sounds right to me.
