The cost of war

Day 1,061, 04:30 • Published in Ireland United Kingdom • by moomoohead

I am going to write a couple of short articles on fighting in this new war module. Not going to write a basic how to guide because a lot of them are out there and are much better then I could do. For this article I just want to talk about how to do the most damage at the cheapest cost. I will go over when, where, and how to fight in next article.

Food- every time you fight you loose 10 wellness so if you start at 100 you can fight 8 times till you get to 20. You can buy food to increase you wellness up to 300 a day. Eating food is the cheapest way to increase you damage in a battle. Fighting with no guns I can do 7,000 in damage for the cost of 2.1 gold. You can buy food from 2 to 10 wellness. !0 wellness usually cost a good bit more per wellness, but you have to buy less often. 6 food is usually the best buy.

Guns-Guns increase the damage you can do. If I use Q1 guns I do about 9,000 damage at an additional cost of 3.1 gold. If I use Q5 guns I do about 11 damage at a cost of 6.4 gold. These are just estimates because I fight with different types and amounts of guns and never wish all q5. The reason I keep different types is because some times you almost kill some one, they only have 10 wellness left. I switch to a low gun then to finish them off cheaper. I look at there strength, type of weapon, and how much health they have and try to predict what level of gun will kill them on one shot. Some times I get it right some times I guess wrong. By doing this it maximizes the value of your guns.

House- I have been fighting down to 20 wellness and the next day get a boost from my house. I looked around at houses and found one is china that was cheap. I get 50 wellness a day for 60 days for 4 gold, that is 150 fights per gold. It is even better value then food. It does not help you in each war but does save money and allows you to get BH in consecutive days. I just have to make sure I transfer the house to an org if I am not fighting, no since using it if you do not need the 50 wellness.

Wellness packs- these are like the crack of fighting. For .5 gold you get 10 wellness. Try to never use these, they are a gold drain.Just say no.


Summary

For 1 gold of food I get 2,600 damage
For 1 gold of Q1 weapons I get 650 damage
For 1 gold of Q5 weapons I get 625 damage
For 1 gold worth of wellness packs I get 210 damage
For 1 gold of a house I get 27,000 damage

Training war in Conn.

I lost money from yesterday. Four people donated 4 gold each for 16 gold. The war cost 28 gold so I lost 12 gold. I will keep doing them every other day for a couple of more times until I go broke or the government provides war. If you won a BH medal in it and are general or above please donate to keep the wars going. Congratulations and thanks to the following people who won BH and donated.

O Bass, first BH but he has more hard working medial then some small countries
H.S Thompson, way to go Hunter
Uaithane, hope the article helps, another first BH
Moo, I got in for one myself, 3 in 3 day

Other people have donated gold to me with out winning medial like taliensen and Ian. I have donated there gold back and thanked them for there offer. I also got about 20 PM from citizens who like the war and telling me they will try to win a BH in the future, thanks for the nice PM's. With all the doom and glom of people steeling government funds and in fighting, it is great to see the generosity of some people playing this game. I think sometimes the good positive people are some times the quieter ones.

If you have any questions on fighting you want answered in next article put it in comments or any other tips you might have.

EDIT: Moon donated 4 gold too, she won ANOTEHR medal, remember her for best soldier, she does huge damage.
