Best scholar strategy

[LordMmavrick]

Just wondering what the best scholar building strategy is?

This escalating scholarship is really confusing and I am not sure what the cheapest most efficient way is to make them.

Any suggestions?

[LordFirefall]

There's nothing cheap or efficient about it. In the early game, build 1 academy and have the cities nearby feed it resources. Once you get 5-10 cities, this becomes tedious and then its easiest to have 1 in each city.

Question?

Does each new cit that you cap an build an academy in start from zero? Meaning do you only need 1 scholarship for the first scholar produced in a city.

Or is it somehow linked to the amount of scholarships in pour other cities?

[larlis]

The scholarships are linked to you as a player not the city.
The actual scholar is like any other troop linked to the city its educated in

[LordMmavrick]

Could you explain the escalating scholarship cost mechanism?

[Pauld2468]

1st scollar= 1 scolarship
2nd scollar= 2 scollarships
3rd scollar= 3 scollarships
4th scollar= 4 scollarships
And so on

Each conquered city uses up one scollar as he moves in and takes over.

Ive found on long journeys its best to have 5 scollars ready or youll have to do continuous round trips which in that time the loyalty starts to climb back up.

Some worlds the loyalty regenerated +3 per hour. So over a 10 hour return trip the scollar attack becomes usless as the loyalty will go back up 30 points with just one scollar. It takes 4-5 scollar attacks to conquer a city. So send in 5 waves of scollars with a few hundred knights, guards and bariskers with each wave right after another but make sure youve cleared the city of all trooos first

@Pauld2468
Using your above example to get your third scholar, you would have done 6 scholarships or three?

[Grnaz]

You would need to buy 6 scholarships before you can train your third scholar, then 10 scholarships before you can train your fourth scholar etc.
