Time to boost your energy capabilities / With Hints
SO_HelpdeskNL
Ever wonder how some soldiers can keep going for so long without running out of energy?
Well it is not magic.
Nope, they don’t have a stash of energy bars.
Nope they don’t do any special training.
They are not vampires either.
All they have done is moved out of their primitive dwelling into a house or two or three or four or even five.
Yes Gwom , you are not John Snow, it is time to get yourself a real house.
With Q1 house prices at 274 cc and jobs in Hungary paying 60 cc, now may be the time to buy a house in order to work overtime.
One Q1 house will when activated give you 7 overtime credits which can earn you 57.58 cc x 7 = 403 NL.
Overall with your normal salary you will be earning 57 cc per day over the week. On the negative side you will unfortunately also be earning an extra 14 xp points per week, but hey I can live with that.
You also get 50 energy bonus for the week.
In addition a Q2 house currently costs 515 cc , but with the overtime you can work you will earn an additional 403 cc, so the actual cost is 112 cc per week. However if combined with the Q1 house you will basically break even if you have a Q1 and Q2 house (income = 806 less house cost = 789) .
You also get 80 energy bonus for the week.
My advice is if you are new at the game and still focusing on training buy a Q1 house keep it activated work overtime every day and generate an extra income.
If you are a strong fighter that fights regularly for BH, my advice is to buy a Q1 and Q2 house and keep them on all the time at zero cost to you.
If you are a strong fighter that does not fight regularly then my advice is to always keep your Q1 house on, buy a Q2 house but keep it off. At times of need when we are attacked you can switch your Q2 house on to enable extra energy recovery. The same principle would apply to Q3, Q4, and Q5 houses. If you have the money buy them all, then in time of need activate them all, recover energy and then switch them off. If switched of within an hour and you can use them 168 times.
If everybody in the Netherlands could activate all five houses in time of need it would give everybody an extra 580 energy to spend on their first fight. I presume that for most people that would mean they can do up to 50% extra damage with the extra energy in the first battle they participate in.
To encourage the use of houses the government will award 250 cc towards the purchase of a Q1 house to the first person to name the Movie/TV series and whose house it is for each of the first 8 houses displayed below. Furthermore we will also award 500 cc towards the purchase of a Q2 house for house 9 & 10.
The person guessing correctly for house number 11 will receive 1000 cc towards the purchase of a Q3 house.
Only Dutch citizens can participate and please only one prize per person so don’t spoil it for the rest. If it proves too difficult I will give some clues out on the last day.
To give everybody a chance, please state the answer for one house only, not all of them. And please state who's house it is.
House 1
House 2
House 3
House 4
House 5
House 6
House 7
House 8
House 9
House 10
House 11
Come on boys and girls, let make this country strong. Go buy a house today!

That gif of clean & jerking a girl is so entirely on my bucket list for years already. Never get around to do it 🙁
too much pictures and not enough text
It's reasonably informative and the pics keep it light, it's not my style of writing but I can see some people enjoying it.
Surely you mean too many pictures?
Let's see, your last article had 12 words per picture. This article has 28 words per picture which is more than double yours. But hey if you don't like my pictures I will make a concerted effort to publish more.
Difference is, that was a private article, this is a ministerial article for new citizens to inform them etc.
lol really
[removed]
Please delete and only say one.
and the house name or person who lives in it, and actual movie name.
I didn't read the text carefully, I didn't know it was a contest, sorry about that.
So:
House 1 - Star Wars Episode IV: A New hope
Who lives in it? Luke Skywalker and his uncle and aunt.
Thanks Willem. Well done you win 250 cc.

Are houses profitable when you work in a commune?
Save the tickets and take a holiday from the commune of your really in need of money. 😉
Tip 1: leave your Q1 house active all the time, and only activate your other houses if your energy+refill both get full.
Tip 2: don't bother with Q2 and above if you are in D1 and don't want to go for a BH.
Nope all strong fighters even in D1 should buy all the houses and use them when we are at war.
I'm not sure I agree...
If they don't have the strength to go for a BH, you seem to be wrong advising them to fight a lot (thus increasing their XP), even if it's for eNL. They're better off not getting too much XP, staying in D1 longer, and getting the BHs when they have enough strength.
If you mean by "strong players" that they are able to go for a BH, then I think we agree. I already noted that BHs are a good exception, as if you have the strength, a lot of "free" extra energy makes it a lot easier to get BH medals. And you have a means to earn back the price of these houses.
And buying a Q5 house and using it (non-stop) while we're at war is the most stupid advise ever. See my tip 1. Only use higher Q houses if your energy would otherwise overflow. I last weeks if not months with my Q5 house. Because it's only activated if it makes sense.
I am not sure if you read the whole article. " If you have the money buy them all, then in time of need activate them all, recover energy and then switch them off. If switched of within an hour and you can use them 168 times."
Uh yeah, that depends on how you do things...
But at for example 200 energy recovery per hour, activating also the 4 top Q houses for a few seconds buys me 530 energy ~ 2.5 hours. Activating the 80 energy center for 48 minutes, the 100 energy center for an hour, and the 150 energy center for 54 minutes grants me 540 energy at the cost of
3 Q2 ticks, 2 Q3 ticks and 1 Q4 tick.
I'd say the Q2 ticks and 1 Q3 tick are cheaper than 1 Q5 tick. So if you are around, waiting for a campaign to start, doing it this way makes more sense than the method of the article. You are
1: more flexible. If the campaign already starts in e.g. 45 minutes you only needed the Q2 house, instead of all of them.
2: more flexible: if the campaign starts even later, just activate the Q5 house only when it is really needed...
3: losing less money on your houses.
But note: this depends on your energy recovery. If it is only 100/hour, as may be more typical for D1, the article approach saves you a lot of hours on your houses.
Another remark:
If you have the money to buy them all, but haven't upgraded all your training grounds to Q4 yet, training is more important...
Of course buying them with gov aid would be a good exception, so I hope some people start guessing at the remaining houses...
House 11 - E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Uh, do I really need to say more? Like Elliott, Michael, Gertie, and their mother Mary? And E.T. of course.
