End Game

[DIrishB]

In another thread, I posed the question of how long it'd take to level up all buildings (money, unit, defense, and upgrade buildings--assuming you built 2 of each money and 5 of each defensive, the maximum) completely to level 10.

Hello Kitty provided this informative chart and I thought others might be interested and it deserved a thread, so here you go:


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.

So 3 1/2 years, just about, assuming you upgrade immediately after previous upgrades finish.

If we factor in the gem money buildings and defensive buildings, are we looking at close to 4 years?

[DIrishB]

1302 days to be exact, but as said with the unlikelihood of jumping onto the next upgrade as soon as the previous finishes, and real life getting in the way (damn you reality for slowing down my KA upgrade times!), I think close to 4 years is a good estimate, maybe close to 4 1/2 if you do all the gem money buildings and gem defensive buildings as well (which I plan on since I'm just OCD like that and want to get my IPH as high as possible).

[echus14]

And yet, am I correct that there are players who have achieved all L10 buildings? Or were they using gems to shorten the time ... if so, then wow, that's a lot of gems!

[Talkazar]

Almost an interesting thought experiment, how much that would cost at 5 gems/hour. And all the gold...

[Dexter Morgan]

Thanks for the informative spreadsheet. Really puts things in perspective

[The_Red]

wonder how much that trims down with adjusting for realistic upgrades - probably most wont upgrade all
defense, many of the unit buildings are worthless to be at 10 with the current stats, etc.

[Bea]

Do the cumulative upgrade times shown include or exclude L1 construction time?

[BooMan]

I believe the End Game is subjective though? Not everyone will have the goal of everything to Lvl 10, someone may have a goal of getting all maps to Lvl 5 and be happy at that so in this case a/d stats make no difference. One of my friends has simply set herself the goal of completing all quests and will then quit whilst another has said he wants to get his a/d density to 200 (so A/D of 100k) and is focussed around that.

Personally I do not have a goal in mind nor do I really have a strategy! One day I think "I want dragons" so start to save for the BD upgrades and then get bored (or worried about unvaulted gold) and decide to focus on lower level upgrades to get my iph up. Consistency would be a good plan I think!

I believe so but can't say for sure. HK made the chart and is VERY thorough so I'd think it does include L1 construction times.

You're absolutely right, when I said End Game I was referring to Kingdom construction, but really by the time it'd take without gems it's likely most or all quests would be done and players A/D should be at a density or number they'd be happy with. 3 1/2 - 4 years of playing would certainly allow for those things to be accomplished. If someone chooses not to do ALL quests (TR/CR I wouldn't blame them for quitting on), or upgrade all buildings (due to cost vs benefit), that's understandable.

However, the point of the thread was merely to show how long it'd take to fully upgrade ALL money buildings (gold, not gem money buildings and non gem defensive buildings) and the answer is 1302 days. Thanks again to HK for putting that info together.

[d_nickels]

I know it would diminish the price paid for the first "double upgrade" dragon reward, but I really wish they'd allow another item with that affect to be obtainable. Upgrading everything really isn't very realistic without some reduction in that 1302 days.

Nice work though HK and DIrishB

[echus14]

If you willing to pay enough, I'm sure GREE will be willing to work out an event for you ... lol. Shall we start at USD5000? :)

All credit goes to HK, I'm just reposting it. If possible I'll probably make an attempt at upgrading them all, and probably the gem buildings as well.

Also interesting to note that once all money buildings are leveled to 10, you can expect a 58,018 IPH (unless I'm reading that completely wrong). If that's the case, though, it'd certainly make buying all those dragons much easier, to the tune of 4 per hour average with about 6k left over. Very nice.

By time you get to that IPH, you would had bought all the dragons you needed a long time ago.
