43K maxed cities. Are they worth it?

LoL

Asplundh is talking big..28k zerks in 1 city??WTF

[GeneralZaphod]

I disagree to some degree. Every maxed out building has a purpose going forward except the city hall, forge, and hiding place. Another advantage is more points, however more troops can help make that up.

1. Troop buildings: no brainer, you build troops faster. Max them out.
2. City hall: you can leave this lower. After attacks you can rebuild your wall fast. Any city at risk, you should leave this fairly high. I usually build this to 30 early and it gets my maxed out faster.
3. Forge: Once you build the academy you can drop this down. Haven't dropped it very far, though, if you drop below a threshold of an ability like guardians, do you loose it?
4. Market: always max. I use my markets like crazy selling on the open market, and also sending to other cities.
5. Resources: obviously leave at max.
6. Farm, max
7. Warehouse, max
8. hiding play, useless.
9. Wall, max.

28k zerks? He has either defence with zerks from others or its a glitch

Just get academy and research whatever u need to downgrade to lvl 1 or 15 if u wanna feel safe

Optimum city levels:
-city hall -max 25
-stage -max 20
-barracks -if the city is a def city than max 20 (cavalry is more important than the infantry in def cities); if it is a striker city then max 25
-resources -max 30
-farm & warehouse -max 30
-market -max 20
-wall -max 25
-forge -if u researched all troops u will need in that city then drop it to level 0, u don't need it anymore so max 0
-hiding -useless, max 0
-every city should have academy
These r my city optimization in which u will have 20,924 troops population. If ur city pop is 43,999 than the max population of the troops u can build up in that city is 19,272 which means the opportunity cost of this luxry is 1,652 population.

-troops maximization
-in every city build up all of the troops because every one has a different speed which will help u to calculate optimum landing time to a city that u r doing a massive attack.
- for the striker cities, the best scenario is for every cavalry build up 2 infantries such as 8.000 axes plus 4.000 knights or 6,500 axes plus 3,500 guards.
-use less rams, I've only 25 rams in my cities and just using them in calculating the best landing time and making chaos. U don't need them. To break the wall from lvl 25 to lvl0 u need to have 325 rams means 1,350 population but instead of these rams u can build up axes or cavalry, depends on u, and u will lose only 11% of these population while attacking a city with lvl25 wall. 11% means 149 population. 1,350 vs 149. Guess which one is better.
Don't forget that this is a strategy game so u have to maximize ur wealth and power in order to rule ur reign.

well... you may want to keep the forge at like 15 just in case someone takes out your academy

[Karl302]

I destroy any 40+ city I take my average city is in the 30s I like to have more troops than the look of a 40+ city

[LordFirefall]

43k cities are totally worth it... As a target. I love to see them on enemy city lists as it means less resistance

[MechaStorm]

yes less troops there to defend and easier to kill it

[MechaStorm]

i generally keep my cities around 25-35k. and fill them up with troops. no one has been able to break my city down yet. lol
