Media Coming back as a low spender: one strong march or 2-3 decent ones for KvK?

3 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm coming back after a long break and the meta feels pretty different. I'm a low spender - mostly gem supply packs and the occasional small bundle. I do my dailies reliably, but I'm not going to whale.

I'm trying to rebuild for the next KvK and keep flip-flopping on the same question: do I sink everything into one top-tier march (one main troop type, one pair of commanders, best gear I can craft) or spread the resources to have 2-3 usable marches even if none of them are amazing?

My worry about committing to one march is getting swarmed or being useless in big fights once I run out of troops. But when I try to split things up I end up with half-built commanders, mixed gear, and it feels like I just feed kills.

For context, I like joining field fights and rallies when my alliance needs bodies. I prefer being active in KvK instead of sitting in my city, but I also have limited time and can't be online for every pass opening.

What do people recommend for a low spender who wants to actually help without becoming a hospital simulator? Any rules of thumb you follow, like minimum tech/gear/commander levels before you add a second march?

Commanders QSH pairing

5 Upvotes

my kvk 2 is ending in a few days, so my account is going to have the swap event. Currently only have maxed ysg, should i use him as the secondary for qin or swap ysg to ZL? for QSH i will swap him with my cao which is 5531, and i still have like 390+ GH so i dont really have to think about getting him expertise before the new kvk, so now im just hard to decide wether i should choose ZL or ysg. oh yea for the footnotes im not a high spender, just a low spender that buy every 10 GH Pop up that shown every time new commander comes up

Which do I use as the primary

2 Upvotes

I'm in KvK 1 and running Minamoto \ Cao Cao as my main march. I want to try running infantry as well though. I've got both Sun Tzu and Bjorn maxed and Pyrrhus at 5531. I'm not going to invest any gold heads, as I want to save them for later on, but I am buying the daily offer which I'm getting Pyrrhus from. Which commander should be my primary and which one secondary, out of the three I mentioned? Thanks in advance

Hidden Treasures Day 2

6 Upvotes

I decided to unlock everything from Day for 1700 gems. Everything stays open for the duration of the event. Looks like it's well worth it as they have a x2 brick. As you can see it gives you double of whatever you select. The "X" spots are 50 gems to unlock which isn't too bad. Even though you already unlocked them on day one. I would say this event is still pretty cool and great for F2P

The second screenshot shows everything I selected for the current state of my account. I'm in SOC

Question Is there a game similar to rok that isn't as pay to win?

I like the mechanics and game design a lot, but unfortunately at the end of the day even as a mid spender you fall behind eventually

How much does it cost to get your hands on Achilles at the gathering of heroes event

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am here because I really want to know how much does it really cost for me to get my hands on Achilles at the gathering of heroes event as a mid spender. I’m currently at 51 days old in the kingdom and I have vip 10, along with around 200 sculptures.
I want to know if it’s realistically possible for me to get him without whaling, even if it means hoarding my speedups and gems from now until then.
Thank you in advance.

Is this ok...

Are we losing?

We are 4088, allied with 86

4087 is so weak that can be neglected, but 4085 is like a beast and im worried.

Top 10 of ranking are all 4085, and the top 1 is winning by a huge gap.

Should i move to the strongest kd?

Hello. Is the Lost Kingdom data included in the T1 healing profile? Or is it only for T2 and above? Or is a ratio involved? But I think the unit is relevant here

Farm Account randomly get banned? Why?

0 Upvotes

I've got a few farming accounts (4+), and every now and then randomly on of them gets hit with a ban for "using third-party software."

The weird part is I'm not using any bots, macros, or third-party tools at all.

I'm curious how people manage to run multiple farm accounts without getting banned. Is there something I'm missing, or is it just random?

One thing I have noticed is that accounts seem more likely to get flagged if I send resources from them 4–5 times a day. Has anyone else experienced this, or found a safer way to manage multiple accounts?

Hidden Treasures Event

So you can get a free 200 gems along with some speed ups and keys as a F2P (Currently in SOC so keys will be different). Or you can spend 500 gems and get a gold head with the 200 gems and some speeds. I personally wouldn't recommend getting in RSS on your main and instead log into your farm and get the free rss and keys. I actually like how F2P this event is as it only takes up 8 slots if you don't buy the bundle. But who knows if day 2 will be the same thing lol. But 1700 gems to clear 80% of the page and also get 200 gems back is a pretty good deal. Putting the value of the Gold Head at 1500 gems. Not the best value from events, but coupled with speeds and keys it's really good.

I haven't cleared the board as I'm debating on whether I need to spend gems for this event at the current state of my account 🥸
