So, add a column for True Cost in Iron, divide gold and food by 2 and you will see that Pikemen gives you more offense per iron. 5.6 iron per offense vs 6.6 for Paladins. So, Pikemen are cheaper and for the same amount of resources, will give you more offense, but not my much. 1 iron/off more for Paladins, but twice the speed.

Another problem is that Paladins cost a,ot more food than pikemen too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443619894336730710.post-9419628557632977852013-03-18T13:53:40.968-07:002013-03-18T13:53:40.968-07:00The biggest problem here is the notion that food i...The biggest problem here is the notion that food is equal to gold, let alone iron. Almost everyone I know has surplus food. I manage to keep mine at reasonably low levels only because I have been very conscious of the low need to upgrade one's farms. Try something: look at the market. Notice how little iron there in the 0-1000 range? Frequently, there is little to nothing iron in the 0-500 range. I frequently sell iron for twice as much gold. I can also sell, say, 400 gold for 600 iron, but as you can see it's not as good. As to food, I try never to sell it. Even if you give 2 pieces of food for 1 piece of iron/gold, it doesn't always sell. Nor should it, as it's easy to simply upgrade one's farms if one is getting low on food. I have upgraded all of my mines to level 9, with one at level 10. I have upgraded all of my townhouses to level 8, with one at level 9. My farms? Half level 7s, half level 6s. I think I may be due to upgrade one of my level 6 farms soon, but I think you get the picture. So let's use an old world currency to describe what's going on here. Let's say that 1 iron is worth 3 pennies, gold is worth 2, and food is worth 1. If we were to use that logic, the calculations in the resource table would look pretty different.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111084585215514502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443619894336730710.post-35025127775123706042012-12-29T03:57:17.830-08:002012-12-29T03:57:17.830-08:00Hey buddy
