Easier way to 65k gold

Tonight I noticed the new kingdom v. Kingdom event for research, building, training, and monster kill.  They buffed the points rewarded for training troops.  They basically doubled them all.  Take a look. 


However, the requirements for gold and top prize remain the same. Excellent!


The rewards for this event are great as week and now much easier to achieve:


Thanks MachineZone!

Getting started...





I will briefly explain how I begin my accounts, be it a hyper farm or main account.

First, start a new game.  If you are beginning a second account be sure to register your first account with MZ.  

 
Top of screen, 3rd icon from left "Account and Devices."  


Here, you can register your email to your account so you are able to log out of the account and switch to a second.  You will then repeat this process for each account you create.  Each account must have a different email address.  Any questions on how to go about managing numerous emails please contact me.

Once you've registered, MZ will send you a verify email which you simply click a link and done.  Now open GOW and choose "start new game."  Follow the tutorial until it allows you to begin your own building.

The first thing we want to do is complete the "Build 10 of each" quests.  Let's start by building 10 farms.


Once you have built the 10 farms, tear down 5 of them.  Click on the farm and choose deconstruct.  Should be a free timer to finish it quickly.  Next, let's build the logging camps.  Again, tear down 5 of them.  Then build 10 stone quarries.   Tear down 5 of those.  Next, build 10 mines.  You have now a rural landscape that looks similar to this:


Note: if you are building a hyper farm then whichever resource you wish to focus on should be the final camp type you build 10 of.  In this example, this will be a hyper farm for ore. So I built 10 mining camps last.  I recommend a balanced rural (outside of walls) landscape to help with resources as you build your stronghold levels.

Next, we will build the urban (inside walls) landscape.  


First, build 10 villas.  I try to build my villas around the outside perimeter.  Allow those to stay.  Next, build 10 barracks.


Tear down all but one barracks.  You will notice now I've completed quite a bit of quests.  I'm at 41k power with nearly 200k of each resource.  The next step is to build 10 hospitals.


Now destroy all but one of those hospitals.  At this point, your build preference depends on what this account will be used for.  I'm using this account for an ore and silver hyper farm.  So, I filled remaining tiles with a gymnos for hero experience, marketplace for sending resources, forge as required for upgrades, and the remaining tiles are villas for silver.


As you can see above, I'm very close to 50k power and it only took about 30 minutes.  I'm at sh 4 with the use of some speed ups.  I've got all tiles filled except marketplace which I'll get at sh 5.  Now I'll focus on getting this account to stronghold 14 as fast as possible.  Later, I'll craft items that boost silver production and I'll reskill my hero points to solely silver and rss production.  Enjoy and good luck!















Coliseum gathering event trick!



Today I was in the coliseum trying to complete the gathering event for which I needed 8 million points in about an hour. 


A friend, Mopar Lar, explained that you can send your marches out to gather in your home kingdom, port to the coliseum, then recall them for credit before event ends.  So I tried it.


Here, I've set my marches on five level 5 food tiles because as you can see above I receive 2 points for each food collected.


I've got all 5 marches collecting in k94.


Meanwhile, I port to our coliseum k126.



Just before the event ends I start recalling my marches.  Here is where it gets a bit tricky but fun.  The original march time was 5.5 hours.  However, I had a +200 march speed boost and some griffon feathered sandals.  I was able to cut the march time down to 8-10minutes to beat the end of the event timer.


Here, the marches are reaching my stronghold and I'm laughing to the bank!  On this particular event I was able to reach top prize in the inferno event and I hit silver in the 24 hour solo collecting event as well!  

In short, if you have the march speed ups this is an easy and fun trick to gain some great prizes in the coliseum.  If I had to do it over I'd set my marches on food tiles and waited to port when they were very close to full.  They would begin their 5 hour march to the coliseum.  I would then wait for the gathering event to start and speed them up.  Once they arrive, 10 minutes into event, I would then try to gather inside the coliseum until close to end of event.  With the method I used I placed 50th on leaderboard, but had I planned a bit better I think I could have placed much higher.  

Give it a try!  I was able to get around 10m points!
