for Lord MilesTeg:
Not so good theory as B is teaming up with A for selfish reasons while A has to carry B, that is he risks losing more often with B than with a partner who has played against similar levels. B will be a liability. |
I have 2 dumb questions:
1) Do you need the Hall of Unity if playing all one faction that does not match your Hero?
2) Do creature armaments help in the Portal? I would guess yes, since they are awarded for a victory. |
1. No, your hero faction does not matter.
2. I am not sure, but i don't think so. |
1) Do you need the Hall of Unity if playing all one faction that does not match your Hero? NO
2) Do creature armaments help in the Portal? I would guess yes, since they are awarded for a victory. YeS |
for virtual_vitrea:
The idea is that B is a liability, to start with and is carried. Thus getting more crystals than would otherwise get as is in battles beyon there normal level. How much of a liability depends on the strength of A's army and the level they are facing, it could still be within the comfort of A, while beyond what B is capable on own or with an equal partner.
This tactic would result in A getting less crystals than they could have, hence why it would only be relevant for those people who do not care how many crystals they get and are happy doing 5 1 battles, 5 2 battles etc. There ar epeople who fit that description. In that scenario there are no real losers. |
Yup obviously, think of it as there are 10 candies to be shared between two people, if one person gets more than 5 then the other must get less than 5, that's the point.
So why will A carry B? Well 1) A could be a friend who himself doesn't care much about the event and wouldn't mind helping be, or 2) B bribes A :P
Btw I would add that this plan is a very obvious and well known one ever since the PoT leveling system was introduced, however I am suspicious how well it would work. It is somewhat tricky, as near the end when the two B's pair up they might have to reduce difficulty, and of course if they lose a couple of times it affects them pretty badly. Either way you would only succeed with this if ALL the 4 players are skilled players, which makes it unlikely that A would gladly waste their time after B, so it is much more likely that A and B would individually pair up and try to get a good prize. |
| Like Lord MilesTeg said it is not a bad strategy if you are farming sp. I'm only playing the event to farm sp for my other factions. So I'm indeed doing all levels 5 times starting from 1, so I certainly would not mind when new starting players would do level 5 or higher levels with me since this would also mean that since that players has not done that many battles yet his AI resistance won't be much as well so it will be even easier for me as well. |
| This event is so messed up this time. Even lower levels are tough and there are no good troops to use this time round |
| so any ideas for garenteed win at low levels, my matches have been getting way too close |
I have started out with skellies, skelli legionnaires and skelli bowmen.
Skelli bowmen wasn't worth anything so changed that to bandits and played then with morale -1 for a while, since it only affected one unit the bandits, the freezing hardly appeared. Grew those 3 units untill their next cost become 48 crystals. Then I got hall of unity and added low ammount of goblin warlocks for the delay and curse, got lots of recruits and goblins. Later on I added gremlins. And that's where I'm at now but I'm thinking of changing it by adding tier 2 and 3, not sure yet.
Ofcourse I'm playing it to farm sp so I started out with level 1 and played every level five times and am now at level 8. I didn't move gradually, sometimes I joined 1-2 pot levels higher when I could't find anyone doing lower levels but made sure I did them later on. |
for Lawton:
If you are fsp farming by now you should be taking tier 6 or even 7 lol, I and my partner are doing that and are pretty successful in it, here's an example battle:

Oh and btw am I really the first one here to figure out that you can let others watch you games? xD |
for randomr1:
How did you enable it for Public View? As in where did you generate the link from?
Seeing a public event battle for the first time. |
| It's just the link that you see, so got to you battle log and click on any battle, it will give a similar link like mine, basically the &show_for_all=xxx part will be added, this allows you to let others watch your combats. |
for AKA:
Basically in short, you can watch other player's battle/replay only if they allow you to do so. |

for Usbeorn:
