Was talking about this the other day but have slept on it for a few days and have came to these decisions and options. I am ending my crate purchases due to increased price and low stat units. I will continue to buy only 1 3-pack just for the hell of maybe getting a rare. I can use that extra gold for better units.

Just curious what you feel is the best solution for me.

1) Purchase 1 of each weekly limited edition units. (As I do now.)

2) Purchase 1 of each weekly limited edition units execpt get 2-3 of the powerful air units. (e.g. Blackbird, Green Dragonfire, Mantis Fighter)

3) End the 1 of each limited edition purchases and purchase 3-5 of the weekly air units only. (e.g. Buy 3 Mantis Fighters, 4 Black Eagles, 5 Hawk Jets)

I have came up with the min/max numbers based on my finances and the purchase amount based on the unit cost.

Actually the rare units are better in the crates

But if you stop crates then #2

I would vote 3 for best bang for buck. Also what should the free players do with their TJ gold now since crates are'nt as good.

If I was a big gold spender, I may be able to help out. But, if it were me, I wd go for option 2 since for 175 gold, as you have pointed out, there is a 15% chance to gat a good rare unit, just my 2$

What do you mean? Crates aren't in the option.

I am also leaning towards option 3.

You can save it to buy a 3 pack of crates or gold money buildings.

Bets option is to cut of the weekly unit buying but buy the strongest unit and buy 50 crates

It is all about getting the best value as possible.

4) Buy 1 of each limited edition purchases (for collection purposes), purchase 3-5 of the weekly air units only AND 2-3 units with high deffence stat to balance the high atk of the air units.

With this you would have a well balance atk/def stat (that is what I think)

You should buy some crates for me no just kidding but you should buy 10 crates and 3 of the air LE units

That is to much gold. I have came up with the figures based on my finances.

I want to get into med school and with that I could become the best player ever and crush war priest and Dreno and have 0 losses

You could just buy the LEs you like and think are cool, and concentrate on your air units for increase stats while getting at least 1 with high DEF to compensate for the low DEF air units usually have

#3 only... bang for buck unless you desire to continue the LE fetish...

War Priest

I will still most likely buy cool units even if I do end up chosing option 3 such as the spider tank or mortar man. But other than that, I won't.

I am really leaning towards option 3 because I get the country boost and will get more stats for the gold. I know I would be giving up my collector units but someday I won't be able to buy more gold and I would prefer to have better stats for the gold opposed to cooler looking units.

3 is what I would do if it were me. Actually, if it were me, I would buy multiples of the most powerful LE every week and not bother with the weaker ones. I would do that with an eye on eventually entering whale territory.

But out of the options given, I would go with option three as I think it best prepares you for down the road.

Thanks. That is what I am thinking. I wouldn't get the most powerful unit if it isn't air because I am Russia and will get more stats for the gold, but would just focus on air units every week.

War Priest

The reason I am ending crates is because they have low stat units and I could use that 1750 gold for powerful units such as the Mantis.

It will all balance out because when the highest unit is not an air unit, I wouldn't be spending as much gold even though I buy 5 of them. I am not sure if you guys know what I mean but I figured it out perfectly. Now it is if I want to give up collecting opposed to practical purchases.

How about getting best stat stuff you can afford with your allowed gold and get one for the collection when you see something you like ,people were saying crates is best option as will get money's worth and maybe a top unit if luck, is that not the case now? What is low med and rare stat wise? What should I do when get 175 gold , crates or special unit in shop?

The practical thing would be to only buy air units. I just can't really let go of the LE collection so that is why this is a debate.

I keep thinking "Is it cooler to have many different LE's or have a bunch of the same LE's..."

I would go for #3. I agree that the country bonus along with a known commodity is a big factor.

I just used the last of my gold and got all common. So I am in the same boat, not going to buy anymore gold as it is not worth it to me.

Sorry it logged me out and ended up posting it in the wrong thread.

Shaking head sadly.

Sometimes! You can still buy Spider Tanks and Black Eagles in the battle screen.

I decided to go with 3 because when it comes down to it, power is better than show.

I can always start collecting anytime again. I started in the middle of Feb so it isn't like I have every single one. If I did, I would still keep at it.

lol... now that we are bouncing between 2 threads on the same basic issue, i had read you last few post here before soiling your crate thread and i still give the same recommendation!!!! opt#3 ...ripping your heart out on what you really WANT to do though, i can tell... LOL ...but that's if i were playing with your gold, not you!!! :p

yet, i'm not wp... and neither is anyone else, so you really should stick to your game man... you really enjoy the LE collection more than anything... so what if you don't get the most bang for you buck on stats... it's what you like!!! which is the bigger point of a GAME!!! recreation, enjoyment, pleasure, funzio, hobby, fetish, obsession, addiction... wait that would be me...

Good for you WP, I wish I could have options like that, but I'd have to decide not to let my kids have swimming classes, soccer, hockey, etc (Euro here, lol) - not an option obviously. If I did, I'd go for 3.

Incorrect. Jp and I bought them the same day, like a week after the release.
