Crown of Conquest

[Daycryn]

I dunno why, but dungeons are really, really slow for me. I mean they're OK for a few minutes and turns, but after a while the delay between every action gets longer and longer until it's practically unplayable.

I find that when there's more than 5 people on it tends to slow down.  Last couple days have been ok for me though.

[Daycryn]

Yay! I have a town now!

[Azerax]

towns are very expensive to build up - which kingdom are you in?  if you are in mine i'll help you out

[fodder]

... how do i use potions? XD how do you even tell what they do? perm? temp?

I'm in Staberinde.

It is pretty expensive... not just in gold, but in having to range around to get clay and stone and iron and wood. But since I now have 10 characters, I think the Barracks is a good idea, that way they can get XP even though they're not in the party.

[Daycryn]

So they added limits on how many mayors you can have, because there were people with like dozens of mayors. So my new limit was 0, so the town rose up in rebellion and killed my only mayor.

So much for that, I guess.

Now it's all about buildings. Towers, forts, castles, with a good garrison. My garrison makes several thousand gold a day and gets good XP while my main party runs dungeons. Pretty sweet setup really.

Yeah, I also lost the two towns that I'd taken because the changes gave me a mayor limit of 0. Mildly irritating because I'd spent about 5000 gold on each town to try to improve them. But I can see that the mayor limits will probably be good for the game in the longterm.

I'm raiding NPC towns at moment to gather some gold.

[fodder]

0? where do i see my limit? - ah.. i see it now... smack at the limit of 1. XD

A few people had 25+ mayors which was a problem.  Barracks are awesome in a town, I have 2 towns with level 10 barracks with full garrisons, they've levelled those 8 chars to about level 12 over the last couple months that they've sat there.  The markets make good gold.  Each town, when fully upgraded, should earn you about 4-5K per day.

Once you're strong enough, the best gold is in level 3 dungeons.  The mobs barely hit you and you'll earn around 700 gold per fight.

[Daycryn]

Yeah I was avoiding dungeons in general since there would be a huge lag (up to 4 minutes) between doing any action and reloading the next panel. So I tried playing in Google Chrome instead of Firefox and the difference is phenomenal. Now dungeons are totes my fave place to level up and get gold. The treasure chests tend to be about the same amount of gold you get from a fight in that area, so in the bottom level of a level 3 dungeon it's like 1000 gold each or so.

[fodder]

problem for me is finding those dungeons in the 1st place.. i've got my 3rd town
the 3rd one is far far away from the other 2.... but has... at least for now a lvl 3 dungeon nearby.  town 67,98. dungeon 70,86

[Daycryn]

You can always just go to the sage and pay for them to find you a dungeon. I just found my first level 4 dungeon that way.

Scary place.

[fodder]

they don't always find anything... or it might be on the other side of the map..

[Daycryn]

So, Dwilight is pretty big now innit?

Maybe too big...
