Upgrade Charts

The upgrade charts are designed to help you decide at what stage to upgrade your Fortification and Siege Technology.

There are three ways in which you can acquire the money to upgrade, either through attacking (attacking a player/multiple players with enough money for your next upgrade), a sell off (another playing selling weapons from his account and allowing you to attack him and steal the gold) or by banking (buying enough weapons so that when you sell them, you will have enough for your next upgrade).

There are various draw backs and advantages to each of these. If you are trying to acquire the money by attacking people you either have to find someone holding enough gold to take it in one hit (which is unlikely) or by lining up multiple attacks. Whilst doing this there is a high chance that someone will see you holding a large amount of gold and will steal it before you get a chance to upgrade. However if you are upgrading by banking your weapons you will lose a percentage of your gold as the resell value of weapons is only 75% of what you paid for them!

My personal advice is that you buy your first few upgrades by just using your TBG (Turn Based Gold) or via attacking, and then start using the banking technique. If you are lucky enough to get offered a sell off, then take it and use it primarily for upgrades (that is my personal advice although it does differ depending on your circumstances).

The reason for the upgrade charts is to help you get maximum effectiveness out of your account. The aim is to upgrade to the next level as early as possible without it effecting your overall Strike or Defensive Action. If you upgrade too early then your DA (Defensive Action) or SA (Strike Action) will not be as high as it would have been had you spent the money on weapons instead of upgrades. And visa versa, if you upgrade too late your DA and SA won't be as high as it would have been had you spend the money on upgrades instead of weapons.

In short, by following the upgrade charts you will remain as effective as you possibly can, helping you attack more (and thus steal more gold) or helping you have a stronger defence (thus saving you from losing gold).

There are 4 upgrade charts below. The first helps you decide when to upgrade your defence without banking. The Second helps you decide when to upgrade your attack without banking. The third helps you decide when to upgrade your defence with banking. And the forth helps you decide when to upgrade your attack with banking
