MA - 5 day buildings and Pet Food

[MinervaOz]

Many thanks @Alcaro. You have put all the systems and timings in one neat bundle. The timings especially are great, since I don't have some of your buildings. I will tell my FS so they can benefit also.

The timings don't work quite so well in my part of the world (which I think is also yours), where the tourney starts on Wednesday and ends Saturday night (well, Sunday morning before I'm awake), and the Spire effectively runs from Monday to Friday. I place the booster buildings and feed the polar bear on Saturday, do one tournament on Saturday and the next the following Wednesday. I can fit one Spire into that, but the alternate week has to be done without boosters - I cater most of that and fight only if I can do so with minimal losses. I sometimes feed the fire chicken Friday night that week to do the final stage so it's still 'live' for the tournament on Saturday.

I think you are correct @MinervaOz. I am UCT+10. When I place my troop boost summonings, round about Friday arvo, I can finish the Spire with some time instants, and still have active boosts for the following Spire. Plus I get a couple of days boosts for the Tournament that week.

I wish this applied to Festival Merchants

God no! They are worth a lot and I have multiples in my cities, wouldn’t want them to be maxed at one per city!! I craft each and every one I encounter!

For seeds?
I find they really hog that slot in the MA.

Yes for seeds. Getting seeds from Festival Merchants means I can set the trader to produce Unurium

Ah, makes sense!
I haven't reached unurium yet.
Perhaps my feelings towards Festival Merchants will change then

Festival Merchants are a decently efficient Seeds producer. There are better, but on a long enough scale, you can almost consider crafting them as getting them for free.

Festival Merchants are better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, but the ones for me are the Savory Food Markets for producing enough divine seeds.

Festival Merchant - 4x3, 4400 per 24h (Ch.20)

Savory Food Market - 4x4, 5900 per 24h (Ch.20)


Similar to @C-Nymph I have seven of the little blighters in my city, and couldn't live without them.

Admittedly the Savory Food Market has a longer collection cycle, which doesn't worry me, given that I get thousands more seeds every 24h.

Depends on the Chapter, which I had not expected. I thought buildings scaled up at the same rate. Huh.

I'm Chapter 18, and FM gives 3,320/24 h, for 11.53 seeds/sq/h, vs. SFM giving 4,400/24 h, for 11.46 seeds/sq/h.

But in Chapter 20, FM gives 4,400/24 h, for 15.28 seeds/sq/h, vs. SFM giving 5,900/24 h, for 15.36 seeds/sq/h.
