Guys, I am beyond flabbergasted right now. I'm trying to calm down. But, I just saw the most unbelievably worst players of all GoW.... ok maybe I'm exaggerating a little... you be the judge.
I hope any of you who read my blog would never make these mistakes.
On to the story...
I was looking for targets for this kill event where you get a 3 day boost for 50k points (SO EASY). I scout this guy... he is SH 18 with 193k troops... but when I scroll down the scout report and look at his buildings... he a has LVL 12 gymnos and a LVL 15 academy (I would have completely slayed his entire army so easy)! I'm lucky I wasn't drinking anything or I would have spit it out like in the cartoons. Guys! Gymnos is THE #1 most important building! Sooo much of your power comes from your hero level and your skill points! And the academy is the second most important building! RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH is far more important than troops.
Let me make this even clearer: Your gymnos and academy should always be the level of your SH as soon as possible, and you should nearly have all your research maxed out to your academy level.
EDIT: I had someone ask me why the gymnos is important. It's because when you open your gymnos you'll see this "Hero XP Bonus xx% - This is how much more Hero XP you earn whenever you earn XP for your Hero". So if you complete any quest, research, or build and you get a certain amount of hero XP, having your gymnos upgraded higher will give you a % more bonus XP. If you go to the Store Special Items, you will see a hero XP boost +25%. The gymnos is the same thing but permanent, and the more you upgrade it, the more XP boost you get.
Other scout reports from this alliance:
SH 20: 400k+ troops, but lvl 18 gymnos and lvl 15 academy.
SH 18: 41k troops, lvl 16 gym, lvl 16 academy
SH 18: 72k troops, lvl 12 gym, lvl 15 academy <- how???????
SH16: 42k troops, lvl 12 gym, lvl 15 academy
SH 18: 110k troops, lvl 15 gym, lvl 16 academy <- just quit the game
OK im done raging now.
