Age 5 Plans for World Domination

Mistfit · 12-07-2005, 16:45

I was a bit bored this morning so I thought I'd try to get some thoughts rolling for Age 5. Post questions and ideas you have for how the CDZ Raiders will rule the KoC world during this age.

I'll start with some discussion topics:
1.) What will our hierarchy be?
2.) At the begining of the age what is the best plan to rise to the top quickly?
(ie. rank the importance of what should be purchased first spy? Men per Day? Attack?)
3.) What are our goals for the up comming age?
4.) Will we stay Orc? Do we have the choice at the beginning of an Age?
5.) Are you planning on even playing in the new age?

CDZ ARMY FOR AGE 5:
Dr. A ~ In/Humam
Shabba ~ In/Human-elf

Erik ~ In/Human
Ville ~ In/???
Whomp ~ In/Death Dealer
Mistfit ~ In/Orc - Human
Melifluous ~ Undecided/ Human
Banzai ~ Elf/Orc
ProPain ~ Definite Maybe / Human
Fluxweaver ~ In/ ????? / Under Erikk
Energy ~ IN / Dwarf
Romeo ~ IN / Dwarf
Gratch_Zugzug ~IN
Tubby_Rower ~ IN/???
Questionable:

Mellow
Swingue - Not Playing age 5
Faragon
Paalikles
startoucher
Schip
Baszd_Msg
Jewi

Kingreno

1) Let's use the same
2) Dunno
3) To take over the world, Pinky!
4) WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
5) Not sure, quite likely I am

I will play the next age for sure.

Not sure exactly what happens in the transition to the new age but I think we do get to change names/officers/race if we want.

I am going to play Human in age5 - boring, but definitely the biggest advantadge for a click whore like myself.

Goals... to have fun? I will personally be trying for <1000 rank, strategy will be to click enough to get >1000 recruits a day for both me and my officers. I will build DA/sentry heavily and some spy (with little training down) at first - so big TFF (~100,000?), high TBG with DA/sentry to match, decent spy for recons and revenge/protection. Perhaps halfway into the age I will train down massively to boost spy/sentry and buy SA to turn myself into a hard as nails slayer

It's hard to know what to say about Hierarchy, in raw clicks I have contributed around 35,000 men up the tree just from my own clicks, about 50,000 all in when you include clickthroughs from my officers (and some of those clicks are by me too, hehe).

Ideally I want some more (active) officers. I am happy to augment the clicks for my officers who are already clicking to get them up to >1000 men/day when I can. My thinking is that some of you who are PP and Meli's officers could become my officers and be providing PP/Meli with more clickthroughs than you would if you stayed where you are now.... However its not just about click efficiency so ymmv.
But I would really like some more clickthroughs for myself, I am a huge net provider atm - which is fine and will stay that way - but a little more back would be good.

Obviously there should still be at least one (probably two) commanders above me to make use of the click-throughs, I assume that Meli will stay as our top account - iirc PP made some noise about not playing age5 but if that is really the case perhaps anarres will take his place? food for thought.

Also I am currently working on the next version of the GoldHunter which will store spy logs so you can see at a glance the most recent info on targets. Once it does that I will work on a central repository system that shares our spy-logs with eachother automatically

- you will of course just be able to use it as a much advanced intelligence database. Of course if we get this system working then everyone using it will benefit from the higher spy ratings among us... hehehe. oh yeah point being that you benefit from my leet skillz, heh.

Mistfit · 12-07-2005, 19:27

I will definitely be playing the 5th age. I want to play out a whole age to see where I can ultimately end up. My realistic goal would be to end up < 5000. I don't know if I have the time to invest into a <1000 campaign.

I will however become a click whore like you DrA. Maybe not to the extent that you are but I hope to be a close 2nd or 3rd

If you'd have me I'd love to be one of your officers. I can guarentee good "click-throughs" and consistant playing through the age.

My thoughts on what to buy early are as follows.

1st - need some attacking power
2nd - need spy (to find those targets)
3rd - More Spy

The upgrades for units per day will prolly be secondary at first because I will be self clicking so much.

I can "water" my orcs quite frequently so a huge DA is not really necessary at the beginning. I still think that I will keep being an Orc for the 5th Age...It just seems to fit my personality.

Whomp · 12-07-2005, 19:34

1.) I am not the best clicker in the world because I've been afraid of adding too much to my laptop. However I am getting a new one this week so that will change. I think I should be folded into Dr. A's army.
2.) Attack first and then men per day seems to be the best.
(ie. rank the importance of what should be purchased first spy? Men per Day? Attack?)
3.) I would like to be the revenge machine. I would like to be able to sab anyone who tries against our people.
4.) Don't know.
5.)Yeah. Probably at the same level of clicking enthusiasm though.

DrAlimentado · 12-07-2005, 19:50

Okay, officer signups start now

I am very happy to have you guys as officers as long as Meli is cool with the rearrangements, I want us to get the hierarchy that suits all of us if possible

On Unit Production I think you have to upgrade asap. An extra recruit at the beginning of the age earns far more than a new guy half way through.

My philosophy on spy (for anyone using their attack turns) is that it should always be higher than your SA. You can always find a good target for whatever SA you have really as long as you have the spy to find them... espeically if you use GoldHunter hehe. But I find targets with >10mil gold, <10mil DA and high sentry.

There is always the OneShot thingy to help water the orcs. It effectively doubles the amount of TBG you can cope with (as you can spend once while you are away) so we can all get a bit bigger than we otherwise would

I am very tempted to stay as an Orc but the lure of the extra cash is too great... If I had 100,000 men then I would earn 2.8mil as orc, 3.5mil as human. Thats a lot of extra mullah.

All the races are pretty good though. You just have to make use of the stat, so if an elf then really build spy and/or sentry etc. Humans definitely have a slight advantadge for huge armies though, just look at the top ranks races and you'll see what I mean.

Whomp · 12-07-2005, 20:15

Dr. A.--I think we need the strongest leader possible for future retribution against anyone who crosses us. Stou911 will always be an enemy IMO.

You, Meli and Banzai deserve top rank IMO.

I will take any spot the team sees most beneficial.

Shabbaman · 12-07-2005, 20:39

Hey, thanks for the confidence whomp!

Dr. A's starting strategy sounds fine. The one thing I want to avoid is losing all my weapons to sabotage. Again. One point of attention is that we should diversify the functions in our group a bit more. We need at least one specialist of each type in our tree, which, I think, means at least one of us should be, gasp, elf. I'm not exactly volunteering, because I think the additional upkeep of the humans could be the strongest trait of them all. OTOH, I brought it up first, so I don't shy away from it.

BTW, I think Meli owes me some clicks

Mistfit · 12-07-2005, 21:23

@

~ It's tough to have confidence in a player that we have 0 info about. With your wish to be closed about your stats we don't know how good you are. All we can see is a 165 man army at ranking 37,772 with a drawbridge. Other than that we know nothing.

ERIKK · 12-07-2005, 21:29

You can always spy on Shabba!

btw - I will join the new Age too and - in the beginning - will do some clicking for startup...

- DrA should be the leader
- Best plan is to get the spy and attack ratings up to pick the best targets and be able to raid them. Defeense and sentry come later, when you yourself became a target for others.
- Humans is the best choice IMO.
