iPH specialist?

[Pee-Wee Herman]

Can anyone give me a good plan for building IPH? I've played this for a while but making a good IPH was not my strength. Please include specific buildings ( other than LTBs ) and etc. Thanks in advance :D

24 and 48 hour buildings are the only ones you upgrade. Raid for the cash to do the larger upgrades and only upgrade cash buildings. Get these two type of buildings on a schedule so they all come due at the same time. This way you get on the game once a day every day to collect and do not lose cash from being raided. That's it.

Get a base planner spreadsheet, there are some out there, just google it, you'll find them easy...

[Bone Daddy]

I also think it is solid to upgrade your vault to 90 mill, takes forever but it keeps you from getting raided for cash as you stretch for higher level upgrades that really help your IPH.

[Sgt Squirrel]

Okay,
For those that don't like spreadsheets here is a general guideline on what to upgrade. For LE buildings, I only reference back to Tatra (although Anniversary and AMR are obvious top choices).

You want to focus on IPH, but as stated above, stick to 24/48/18 hour buildings. Therefore, I've left out the roman cathedral since almost everyone misses some collection through the 7 hour windows.

Stick to upgrading buildings as close to the top of this order as possible to generally get the best IPH you can. The list below is based on a pure IPH build, with some considerations on the upgrade times (especially between LE buildings and non-LE buildings).

Last note - This list generally assumes all your buildings start at level one and you work up. If you have a ton of cash, try to stick to upgrading one of the listed LE buildings to as high as possible. E.g. Going from queensland level 4 > 5 is better than going from tatra 2 > 3. For you to just core start upgrading, I wouldn't worry and use this list as a guideline.

Cheers.

come visit my base please. PM me and I will give you my code....

it will give you a good guide on what to upgrade.

[Pee-Wee Herman]

Thanks for the helpful replies guys.

[psuengineer]

If you're not at a point where you can afford LE Building upgrades, the oil rig is the best regular building to sink money into IMO.

And get your faction get increase the building output bonus or join one that has the bonus.

Get a timer app for your phone. I got one that is free and I haven't had my 24/48 hour buildings raided in months


My timer is called elapsed

[Floody]

How important is the Cement Factory in the scheme of things. DO you get it to level 10 as quickly as possible or include it in an upgrade cycle?

[1GaDawg85]

Get it to level 10 as quick as possible

[Sgt Squirrel]

Get it to level 10 as quick as possible

I disagree, although not completely. Caveats below:

This should honestly be the last boost building that is upgraded, compared to all the others. Reducing an upgrade by a couple % doesn't really make a difference when upgrading for IPH.

In the 3-4 weeks it would take you to max out your cement factory, you could get many upgrades of your LE buildings in, and raise your iph by much more than the few % the cement factory would save you.

Looking around at people's bases, I find that level 7 is a good stopping point to then focus on your IPH and boosts.


If you are saving for a few days to build up a huge pot for a big upgrade, then yes, by all means mix this into your upgrade list.

[DTA-HOG]

This game is much more prosperous if you raid. I suggest getting your boost buildings maxed out before upgrading money buildings. Once you get them maxed, you are ready for iph. First off, take everything to level 2, as that DOUBLES everything. Next, concentrate on your LE buildings as these produce the most revenue. I can raid 100mil in an hour at level 136. It takes me 9 days to save up this much from my buildings. I have only played for 4 months though. 1mil iph

[mickymacirl]

Boosts, LE buildings and then the rest

[Jesse21]

I got my 24 hour le buildings to level 3. Then while I am saving money for the level 4s if I don't have the money yet, I will up grade the cement factory. So I upgrade it to buy time or when I am over vault during a war.

[CBK]

I'm not saying that boost buildings arent important, but I would only upgrade them during times you are saving up for a money building upgrade.

[Pee-Wee Herman]

Cheers guys.

[Nachomacho]

I can't let this pass, :p!
Iph = ideale pijp hoogte?

[Pee-Wee Herman]

Sure, why not?

[Luuzer]

lets exclude LTB-s like was asked then:

1) upgrade 48/24 hour buildings
2) upgrade 24/7
3) depending on current income, decide what is best to upgrade money/time wise. Especially upgrade times. If it ends at 2AM, then U waste a lot of time if U wake up and can start new upgrade in the morning. Choose what time matches Ur wake time and availability to check the game
4) If very low IPH, then munitions stockpiles are the first ones to lvl 10, their ROI is superfast compared to others. Command centre isnt so bad either (except last lvls upgrade time, I dont have it maxed on my main accounts :D).

Doing it with supermini right now myself. Passed lvl 30, so build oil rigs, but their upgrading costs too much for minis IPH, so I'm doing oil refineries and ore mines depending on how much money I have when one upgrade finishes ;) Munitions and command centre is maxed already ;) If not much money, upgrade boost buildings or some crappy recycling plant or something ;)

So again, LTB-s excluded and IF my supermini had money, I would go and upgrade like this:
Oil rigs
Oil refinery
Ore mine
recycling plant

since I didnt have money and needed time to get that far I went:
2x stockpiles to lvl 10
1x command to lvl 10
oil refinerys and iron ores whenever possible
oil rigs still at lvl 1, no money for lvl 2 yet :D
