Beyond here, thar be monsters

[echus14]

I understand that there are 200 levels to the game and am just wondering if it just becomes a case of constantly building up your kingdom after level 50.

Appreciate that people may have different personal objectives (eg, all buildings to lvl 10, all maps mastered to lvl 5, full dragon army, etc) but are there any formal milestones after all the maps have been completed and you've got the Breeding Den?

[The_Red]

There is an endgame w/ 200 stats and all L10 buildings. After that, you're pretty much spending gems on big units and playing the contests to increase your A/D.

[DIrishB]

How long do you think it takes to level up all buildings to lvl 10 (assuming 2 of each money building since most of us go for as high an IPH as possible), without gem spending and purchasing all necessary land expansions? I'm gonna take a wild guess and say 6 months.

[Hapl0]

I believe your guess is a bit short DI, i have near 3 months in an account upgrading without stop in lvl9.

If you were to build every available gold building and upgrade each to level 10, the following are the cumulative days and costs for everything by building type:

Note these values do not account for:
Upgrading Lumber Mill to Level 10 = 10% discount on cost.
Holy Avenger top250 event award = 10% reduced building upgrade time.
Guardian Elemental top50 event award = upgrade 2 buildings at once

[Hapl0]

Wow Kitty, your info are amazing as always. Btw i tried to pm you and your box is full.

[Talkazar]

So 3 1/2 years, or 2 1/2 years in money buildings alone. Assuming they don't expand beyond what is here at some point. Still some time to go yet ;)

A question for CC and/or MW veterans. I don't play either game. Has Funzio increased the number of non-gem units or introduced new buildings since those games started? I understand CC in particular is at the 'everybody is level 200' endgame, although they still seem to introduce new maps (or new drops at least).

[echus14]

Honestly can't imagine I'll still be doing this in 3 years time.

Yeah, I'm insanely optimistic. Just kidding, I honestly had no idea so just threw it out there to get more informed players opinions... or factual spreadsheets:

My God, you are to numbers what Batman is to badassery. Very impressive (and even more informative).

So 3 1/2 years is a best case scenario, right? Factoring in real life and the fact we probably don't or can't jump on and immediately start the next upgrade, 4 years might be more apt for me.

Ok, KA Endgame Scenario, I will see you sometime around the summer of 2016.

This also answered the question I've been meaning to ask about whether there was a limit to the number of Defensive Buildings you could buy. I can't remember off the top of my head, but aren't their 6 different gold defense buildings? So I assume this means a max of 5 each?



Honestly can't imagine I'll still be doing this in 3 years time.

I can understand that. I probably will still be plugging away at it. I'm quite stubborn in pointless pursuits. I probably won't log on 5-6 times a day like I do now, but I can see myself logging on once a day to complete those last few lingering upgrades, and raid all your long abandoned kingdoms...Mwahahahahaha!

The upside is by the time I start saving up for my Breeding Den lvl 10 upgrade, there probably won't be a lot of people still playing. The downside is there's a very real possibility the servers may be turned off by that point.

On that note, how long ago did MW and CC come out? Might be a good way to gauge the life span of this game.

[Hello Kitty]

LOL DIrish! Was a good question and got me curious too. Here's the detail with all buildings run up to level 10 (sorted by cumulative days).

Note: There are 2 each for all money buildings, except Castle, and 5 each of all defense buildings.

................I probably won't log on 5-6 times a day like I do now....

5-6 times a day??? - you part-timer!

That's probably the minimum number of times an hour I log on - oh, hang on a second....damn I have a serious addiction!!!:rolleyes:

[YLL]

Has Funzio increased the number of non-gem units or introduced new buildings since those games started?

Yes, new buildings have been introduced in MW on a number of occasions (e.g. desalination plant)... but nothing since Gree took over, I think(?).

That's probably the minimum number of times an hour I log on - oh, hang on a second....damn I have a serious addiction!!!:rolleyes:

Well I do have a job, girlfriend, friends, hobbies and internet porn to fill the rest of my time, not necessarily in that order of importance. ;)

Admittedly, the box and boss events now have me logging in anywhere from once to twice per waking hour when I can, so it closer to 15-30 times a day now.

Do you have a number for KAA (Kingdom Age Anonymous)?
