Should I go for landsknecht or knights?

 

[Humanophage]

Do the daily payments ever go past 35 gold 16 timber 16 metal ? Because with my 2 metal mines that isn't so bad. I'm thinking of never exiting dark aura if this keeps up.

Yes, they do. They'll keep rising further and further until they become unsustainable. But at this stage you will still profit for keeping it for a longer time.

I think the dark aura fades automaticaly after certain amount of time (3 weeks probably).

Nay. Fades away once you haven't paid the tax three times.

Should I go for landsknecht or knights?

Oh, I have both. In fact, at this stage, I would suggest that you spend the money on levelling up the basic building rather than making the upgraded one. You can always upgrade the building later. The best unit to hunt orcs is probably the swordsman.

Good deeds

* Participation in the life of the community and in game development.
* Victories in contests and tournaments.

* Referring new players (in the "Referrals" section you can find the link, with the help of which you should invite new people to benefit from it).
* Providing in-game help to newcomers, as well as answering questions on the forum.
* Bug repots, practical help, interesting proposals for game improvement.

* Exposing cheaters and law-breakers.
* Donation.

Fags can gain karma by forming circlejerks on some forum?

 

[Humanophage]

In truth, it doesn't really work this way. The only way to get more karma is to speed up its gains slightly through referrals. In general, I can't imagine such karma rewards at all, a few additional points would break the balance, and adding less than 0.5 karma will probably go unnoticed.

Old chaps!

I saw no one sell Forest Spirit on market at all. Is that very much needed?

And is there any reliable recipe for brewing?

 

[Pika-Cthulhu]

Forest pots can be used to level up any hero without risking units. Archers have a range of 3, and the Orcs in the woods have at best, a range of 2 (Archers) 1 (Melee)

Reliable recipes there is not, each day you get 3 chances of finding a recipe, which is reset each day, so a Recipe that yielded a potion yesterday, may give you jack squat, or something different today. Also, using ingredients often, gives them some kind of negative modifier, so that they are less likely to yield a potion the more often you use them.

For Alpha pots, Four of the 6 ingredients listed, and only 1 quantity, For beta pots, follow the quantities and ingredients. So its a crapshoot each day, with a chance to make something good, or lose, at worst, 12(Alpha) 18-24(Beta) ingredients, or gain 6 pots.

A tip, if you do make a pot, be sure to remove it from the cauldron before brewing the next batch.

 

[laclongquan]

OH YEAH, lost a batch one time I did that. Wont forget that lesson in a hurry.

Is female any use in this game other than a way to burn money? Only difference I find so far is the rose thing (female, add to mana).

I believe that is the case, an Admin posted as much in a thread on the TB forums a while back. Save the money, get a sausage-fest going.

 

[Humanophage]

Females get the rose, males get the rod. The fertility symbolism is so blatant it's almost indecent.

 

[Pika-Cthulhu]

Time to Man up, take your rod, and deflower a Womans rose.

 

[laclongquan]

I offer two roses one rod in my shop. Bottom of the list, please.

WE are cap at level 10 until visiting good old academy of metropolis, right?

 

[Havoc]

How do I use a LVL24 road?

Heroes cannot advance over level 10 at all. The academy cap is for specific skills, like Close Combat. Academy allows to raise these to level 4 (and school to level 3).

How do I use a LVL24 road?

Through Pass, I believe, in the drop-down menu. Choose the city with lvl24 road there. Note that it's only possible to send caravans to and not from the city.

Nope. I have only Put on Ground and pass to the shop in my second city, I can't select my city with 24lvl Road.

 

[Berekän]

You just have to wait until the advantage is switched on, it happens somewhere in the next day, it happened the same to me.

 

[Havoc]

Thx

 

[laclongquan]

I cant even get to skilllevel 3 with my lv10 heroes. Currently hold 2 spare levels.

How do I use school to add the third point to a skill?

Your hero needs to be in a town (yours, or if an ally, the Hero must have no Units on him/her) and then when inside the town with a school/Academy, you allocate the points to that skill. School allows you to train up to level 3 in a skill, Academy up to level 4.

 

[laclongquan]

This could get tricky. When we press release unit in heroes portrait, the unit is gone, right?

 

[Pika-Cthulhu]

There is a small window that pops up that says Any further action will cause this units deletion, click below to cancel, so if you do not click below to cancel, yes, it is gone.

In an ideal world, it would say, Any further action will cancel deletion of unit, click below to Confirm delete (with a confirm delete, not cancel delete like it has now)

 

[Shannow]

Pass your units to your city (or other heroes that don't have units or an ally's city, though you lose the unit then too).

 

[Brotherman Bill]

What's the prereqs for factory?

 

[Trannynota]

If you have a village you can look it at Empty Space -> Buildings, there'll be a line with Factory and its cost (coins, wood, stone).
