Hi!
I have been selected as your war commander! I'm Bex and I have a lot of experience. Although I'm still learning the flags, I'm hoping to win this world with you!
We are going to secure our area and we will soon move up this continent!
Now, since you don't know me, I don't know you, I'd like us to get a partnership. This is our team:
[player]Amy Wong[/player], [player]jamiekoh[/player], [player]Tribal King Warrior[/player], [player]Nyan Ewok[/player], [player]bmead[/player], [player]tbex17[/player].
We will also get more to this group once the merger is complete.
I'm going to make a post in the forum, I'd like to know who we are identifying as threats to our area. I have picked a few in mine.
From intel from [player]Tribal King Warrior[/player], [ally]Animal Kingdom[/ally] is inactive. I have cleared all of them in my surrounding area and [player]Tribal King Warrior[/player] is working with me to keep those villages clear.
Everyone should be farming daily. I send out my troops with 1 scout and 5 lc, farm my area (it is split with a tribe mate) and then continuing to attack with the same troops until village is clear. This way, I am not tying up lc on long farm runs. if you have pp and you want it to figure out how to farm and what troops to send, go to twfarmreports.com, set up an account, and then it will scan your reports in and then put in the troops you need to get all resources from the village in 1 hit, takes away the fun of doing math yourself. If you want help with this, let me know. I don't know how to set up an account, but I know someone that does, he sets it up for me and then I go from there.
By now, we are getting to the point where we need to start thinking about a second village, I'd like you to pick a player owned village, as opposed to a barbarian village. barbarian village =farm.
Since we are not acquainted yet, I'm not going to ask for troop counts.
However, I do need to know some information:
1. Is your village primarily offense or defense?
2. Troop count. To get this, go to your farm, Under "current population" it has "troops" and then a number. I want to know what that number is.
3. What do you think the 3 most important buildings are? (there is no right or wrong answer, but it will give me an idea of what you are focusing on in terms of war preparedness.
4. Have you picked a second village yet? if so, what is it?
5. What is your name?
So my answers:
1. Offensive
2. 4097
3. Wall, Barracks, Timber camp
4. second village is selected, [coord]235|634[/coord] (yes it's small, but the builds are good to start a defensive village).
5. Bex
Please let me know if you have any questions, need any assistance, and if I can help you in any way, I can.
Happy farming!
Bex

Sigh. Come home from a hard days work to a list of questions. Ah well.
1, Offensive.
2, There is a difference between 'Farm Space' and 'Troop count'. The number on the farm screen is your farm space, however that is not the same as how many troops you have. For instance, a single LC is worth 4, a ram 5 and a cat 8. So, I'll give both numbers. 2165 farm space, or 816 axe, 100 scouts, 210 lc, 45 rams, 10 cats and a pally with the ram weapon.
3, Buildings I'm currently focusing on are; Smithy and Farm, and then a toss up between the three mines.
4, Not entirely sure yet. We'll see what happens with [ally]Inc[/ally]. I am, quite literally, surrounded by them.
5, Call me Ewok.

Yes. Your farm building. If you click on it. Will give you troop count based on total troops. Not looking at farm space. Farm building has break down
Nyan Ewok Feb 05,2013 03:26
No, it doesn't. Do the math.
Current population
Buildings (includes the building queue) 761
Troops 2207
Troops in production 40
All 3008
I'm now on 2207 farm space. My troops, which I have given you, amount to about 1200 different units. They are different numbers, they mean different things. You can't get your troop count from your farm screen.
tbex17 Feb 05,2013 06:12
Mine is completely different. I got mine correctly and so did Amy. We both used our farm building. I'm not sure why yours is incorrect.
Nyan Ewok Feb 05,2013 12:27
It's not incorrect.
The only reason your farm space would match your troop count is if all your units took up 1 farm space, ie you only had axe/sp/sw/arch. Mine is not wrong, it is a fact that you cannot get your troop count from your farm space.
Click Here
That link will take you to a photo on my photobucket account. You'll notice my farm space is
3016/3569 up beside the res, flags and pally icon.
Next, on the farm screen, under the heading 'Maximum Population, you'll notice the first figure is
3569. This is the maximum farm space I have been allotted for my level 18 farm.
Under the 'Current Population' heading you'll notice I have 0 troops in production, but I do have buildings taking up 761 space and troops taking up 2255 space. The total here (761 + 2255) is
3016.
You'll notice, the two final figures under the two headings are the same numbers we saw up next to the resources and the flag icons. You'll also notice that nowhere on the farm screen are the words 'Total Troops'. The word the farm screen uses is 'Population'. Have you guessed why? Because the farm screen talks about the Population of the village (sometimes called Farm Space), and not Troop Count.
Now. At present in my village there are 860 axe, 100 sc, 220 lc, 45 ram, 10 cat and a pally. Lets do the math. Adding them all together we get
1235 troops! Notice how that number doesn't appear anywhere on the farm screen?
Mine is not incorrect. I'm not sure why a 'veteran' such as yourself cannot figure out the difference between farm space and troop count. Apologies if this seems condescending, but needs must.

I see where the miscommunication is. Your troop count does not add up because you are giving each troop 1 value. This game does not do that. Scouts are worth 2 troops and LC worth 4 troops etc. that is how you get troop count.
This is the number I am looking for in troop count, as this is the number for points ratio you need. It will seem inflated but that was the number I was looking for. That's my way of checking to make sure you are on point in ratio. Now if you were building only cats to increase the ratio we would have to have a separate discussion.
Nyan Ewok Feb 06,2013 00:09
A scout is worth two
farm space. You are just repeating everything I said in my original post. The number on your farm screen is your total farm space.

tbex17 Feb 06,2013 08:03
yes, but it is also considered 2 troops in this game, i know you are not counting it as 2 troops, i do not either, but for purposes of ratio, that is all i was asking for...since this game gives you the reward when you have 2000 troops in farm space, not 2000 troops total.
regardless, we all seem to be doing well with troops and are working together, it is clear we all need to get some defense so my goal is to have village 2 by tomorrow and then churn out defense for all of our second villages.

ok.
. At least he didn't betrayed by accepting your offer.
