Then there is the case of GBG, where Negotiations can score 2 points while Attacks are worth 1. FoE does a good job of giving both paths a shot. 64/48's with all Negotiation scores much lower than a 64/48 Attack in GE.
Negging costs both time and goods to do though. I only neg when my attrition is too high to fight and its not a critical sector, or for my SC. Like the attrition doesn't affect the difficulty like it does for fighting, just the cost. There's a real limit on how far you can fight, but the only limit on negging is how many goods you have to waste.
Whatever you use the most should be the unit you pair with the Traz at the start aside from rogue hideout. Adjust as needed. I prefer Heavy units upto and including Industrial Age
Very true. Maybe 2-3 weeks of gathering GBG ammo. But let's not pretend the staggering cost of both time and FP to raise your CdM, AO, CoA, SoZ to a decent level like 50 along with the constant losses you'll have to stomach by always getting lower rewards for as long as you force yourself in this suboptimal playstyle as well as being dependent to Siege Camps to perform, as well as being deadweight to your guild even if you somehow manage to get these levels when these luxurious requirements (Siege Camps, Attack bldgs) aren't met, as an F2P player in the lower ages don't exist.
I didn't say this. I am talking both in the perspective of personal rewards (which a newbie with little to no FP could use in his way to rushing his Arc to 80) and the total amount of advances one could dish out with minimal effort and almost zero city requirements
You're misunderstanding something here, but okay it's understandable that you don't know this because you haven't tried it before. Once you have your goods/trades setup for 2-3 weeks as a very fresh player you would never run out of goods for the subsequent seasons even if you're an everyday attrition 40 player. As an added bonus did I mention anything about a Chateau here? Nah, in fact you don't need a single level of it at all to drown in GBG ammo
That's right. But don't belittle yourself too much. In fact, your trades aren't moving because you've simply fallen for that fair trading meme ratio that's directly translated into "May I steal your goods". That's it. The obvious solution for that is to not be greedy in the first place for people to entertain you. If you want to go further, skip an era. If you want to be more generous, skip 2 eras and so on and so forth. Or do you think you won't profit at all by taking these trivial losses?
Really ?
I think they meant maximise as in optimise the use of it
I think that was what I was trying to say
Wow you seem like a experinced play since the SA and you said you hated this type of game till you started FoE
Well 'they' should have said that.
Then this is very strange that you claim you run out of goods in any possible way because I may not be the best trader out there but I really don't run out of it given some preparations. Even with GBG
in GBG, negotiation is limited: even with 0% attrition, you will run out of goods eventually if you keep negotiating.
I have never really though about it like that but your so right :
Me. I almost did a thousand Negs. And I barely even used 400-500 of each goods. If I really cared about staying awake at the guild's peak hours I could do this as well. But what if you're placed in a situation where SCs are simply not an option since your guild is sitting out the season? Kinda like this disaster right here
Lol 299 is not "almost 1000"
why gather FE/ME/PME goods? you don't even understand your own method!
