Hi,
Just started this game and am Level 3 Wizard.
Problem is I cant seem to win a single duel vs any Level 3 player of whatever faction.
Does one concentrate on buying artifacts from shop for main character or should one save money to make miniarts for the troops? What are basic combat hints for newbies? Can someone help? |
| Max golems, then gargs (or vica versa) split gargs up in stacks of 1 to take retal and to enrage your main garg stack. And your better to save your gold for 2 reasons, at lvl 5 you'll be forced to wear artifacts for every combat and, single mini artifacts aren't really worth it, it's better to wait for faction skill level 4? at which you can create double mini artifacts. |
| There are many challenges to overcome before you can truly be a powerful Lord. Once you skill levels rise you should be well on your way. I would say that things becoming much easier after combat level 6, HG 4 and LG 4. It gets to a point where arts pay for themselves and you will never have to wait for a battle (Mercenary Missions, Caravans, Hunts, and of course PvP). |
As Dentsjang sais.
Also, read Forum rules, both local and general. Check F.A.Q. if you haven't yet, try using forum search (poor as it is, it's useful) and ask wiz-related questions in wiz faction topic

for MeanDrake: at level 1 - 4 concentrate to HUNTINGS and mercenary (ONLY van of wiz), then try to reach racial min. level 3 at the end of level 4, lab min level 3 and hunting min. level 3 ...
Best regards,
Randhy
NB : Wizard is the MOST EXPENSIVE factions --> MINI ARTS is a MUST ! |

A bit too late for that though :/ |
Ofourse you lose, what do you expect with this:
Wizard: 1 (36.68) +13.3
Hunters' guild: 1 (49.00) +11.0
Laborers' guild: 0 (45) +45
compared to all other level 3 players, without artifacts, you already have a huge disadvantage |
A bit too late for that though :/
^^ Just in case, for other newcomers or if want to know how to levelling :P |
Sven91:
Could you elaborate? What is it that I have done wrong? |
a normal level 3 player would have racial skill 2, hunters 2, and maybe laborers also 2
This gives 3 attack and 2 defence to your troops, while you only have racial 1 and hunters 1, that gives only 1 attack and 1 defence
So your units are weaker compared to other level 3 players, since they have higher guilds, so more bonusses |

Hunts! And more hunts! All of your XP for levels 1-2 should be from hunts!
Geez, I'm like a broken record today, aren't I?
P.S. for any level, you should expect to be weaker than average when you first get there and stronger than average just before you level past it. This is because the 'other' levels (racial, labor, and hunts mostly) are moving up, as well as the usual (learning new strategies, being able to afford all the buildings). |
I would not think a level 3 player would have laborers 2 yet; though racial 2 comes during level 3 and hunters 2 comes more near level 4. Yeah, he's a little behind but not by much. It is possible his opponents had the same he did.
It's very easy to power to level 3 if you win most of your battles in level 1 and 2 (which a Wizard can easily do).
My advice would be to not worry about losing. You need those losses to help lessen the gap between yourself and other players of your level. |
hunters 2 comes more near level 4
if you do only hunts at 1 and 2, its possible to have hg2 at level 2, so most players reach it at 3 and not 4, then they already have hg 3 |
| You guys are great. I got it. Its basically very easy early wins in Duels that pushed me so quickly to Level 3 that actually I am not fit for. So put down and do hunts and jobs for now. No duels and battles cos even losing there gets me exp that will push me up faster. I got that right? |
| Right. Now head up to those mines and factories, and enroll like there's no tomorrow! |
Lvl 2 labor guild at lvl 3? ^^" Yikes
I went through with guild level 0 till I hit lvl 4 XD
Not that I was not enrolling, I was having too much fun with duels ;-)
Btw, I don't believe in slowing down combat leveling to let others catch up. At one point, it WILL catch up eventually. |
| The only real question is, whether you like to wait (as in hunt and enrol only) down there, or up here ;-) |
