Troops and Queues from Haysie

At the moment you should all be merrily building away. Take advantage of beginner protection and the mists of Avalon as long as possible.

You may get to a point where you see yourself accumulating more resources than you either see a need for, or are above and beyond your storehouse capacity. There are a few options you can follow here:

1. Build some supply troops and/or wagons and hide in a wild that you own.
2. Send to the Node for safe keeping
3. Use all you can by queuing troops & defences.

If you send to a wild, you will have fast recall if required, but remember this is a new domain and the gentleman’s agreement on other domains about not attacking each other’s wilds may not be fully understood here and you may lose them.

The Node is a city where all excess resources are sent for storage. All members of the alliance contribute troops to defend and the resources are used to help all members of alliance. Should you require anything, you just ask and it is delivered. Those of us that have come across from Rhon118 domain have used our node to great effect. It is protected by approx. 1,000,000 troops and reinforced as necessary.

The third option is to queue.

1. Wall defences: The level of wall will determine what defences you can build, and how many builds you can how queued. You can have one queued build for every level your wall is, Click on the wall to see what defences are available.
2. Troop training: The number of barracks will determine how many groups you can have queued for training. The highest level of barrack in your city will determine what troops you can train. You can have one group queued for every barrack in your city.

I try to queue everything, and then any remaining resources can then be sent onto the node. Should be attacked and your defences are taken out, or you attack and lose troops, request resources from the node and immediately fill your queues to replace lost defences or troops.

Just remember, if you accumulate resources and get scouted, and they see what you have, you will most likely get attacked and see everything taken. This will also encourage them to come back and you will become a ‘farm’. If they see that you have nothing, they may have scout every now and then, but generally they will leave you alone.

We do NOT want to be feeding the resources requirements of other alliances.
