New to CC...and used to both MW and KA so the bank is totally different to me. I am sure this is in a noob guide somewhere, but idon't see this answered. Is the bank really as easy as paying 10% for whatever you want to protect? No leveling, no max, just a 10% penalty? What are people's strategies around using the bank if so? Seems expensive, but better than getting looted constantly I guess.

Correct. Just a 10% flat fee. Your funds for upgrades and purchases must be withdrawn from the bank as well if that is where all your money is, they don't come out automatically like in the other games.

Ok makes sense...thanks. If you withdraw more than you need and but it back I assume you pay the 10% again? Definitely a more strategic decision than KA or MW...not a bad thing though...seems interesting.

Any strategy to how much you should typically keep banked?

My bank "strategy" is to synch your buildings to one big payday each day so everything comes due at once. Then use that payday to build, upgrade, buy, etc without having to pay the bank fee. You need to know in advance what you are buying. You can get hit for 10 percent per attack up to $30k each hit while you have your funds in hand. Good luck!

Great thanks for the advice.

What about them? Is there something unclear about a bank fee reduction?

I recall a while back someone on here suggesting banking in smaller amounts to reduce the 10% fee charged :rolleyes:

I could swear that gem came from "one" of our community mods (before there were any community mods).

That doesn't make sense. 10% is 10%, no matter what amount you bank.

EXAMPLE ONE
You want to bank $4 billion.

Instant: 10% off $4 billion = $400,000,000.
You pay $400,000,000 to the bank.

In smaller amounts:
10% off $400M (x10 times) = $40,000,000 (x10 times = 400,000,000).
You pay $400,000,000 to the bank.

No differences, so no reduction.

EXAMPLE TWO
You want to bank $400M.

Instant: 10% off $400M = $40,000,000.
You pay $400,000,000 to the bank.

In different amounts:
10% off $150M = $15,000,000.
10% off $120M = $12,000,000.
10% off $40M = $4,000,000.
10% off $90M = $9,000,000.
TOTAL = $40,000,000.
You pay $40,000,000 to the bank.

No differences, so no reduction.

I believe smokey77 already knows that. The rolled eyes emoticon was used in place of the phrase, "Can you believe anyone could be so dumb to suggest something like that?"

Edit: and also in place of "did you really just post that?" Lolz

You're thinking too big. What they probably meant was instead of banking $10 and losing $1, bank $19 and lose $1. Never tried it since the amount of time needed to make it pay off is exorbitant, but knowing Gree, they probably start rounding up as soon as you get to $11.

The original post:


No when a player is too "beat up" it applies to everyone.

I usually bank my cash, a trick is to not collect all your cash and bank at once, deposit every building separately, so the 10% fee hurt as much.

the trick is to have free banking.

I was trying to be more subtle about it. Also couldn't find it because the search feature is craparoni.

It might be interesting for brand new players, but not for me anymore :p

Don‘t bother with banking. You‘ll never get hit for more than you lose from the bank fee and it’s way more convenient to have your cash on hand.

You‘re welcome.
