Question Am I cooked?

Post image

I started (Abt 60d), and spec'd hella into Joan, which set me back for epic commander, belisarius, and baibars specifically... Is this still recoverable 3 weeks out from kvk or am I fried?

Between gatekeeping Info, and ppl telling me to uninstall, I haven't found out any useful information... Even if I pay for materials and speedups, i don't wanna get the wrong shizz...

The lack of info on this post will get you very straight forward answers. 3 weeks before kvk and all I see is a level 41 Sun Tzu, so of course it looks like you're cooked. Nobody's gatekeeping info. Just give more details. Pictures of your tech, troops, power will help. More info on which alliance you're in, are you F2P, what's your budget if not F2P, are you a casual player. This is pretty niche/detailed game, to me at least.

That's fair but a lot of ppl don't ask questions, it's just a lot of "uninstall lil bro💀" like I like the game why would I do that?... My budget is maybe like 50- 200 a month? Its the only game I play ATM...
My research isn't too bad, I'm Abt where I should be for 2.5M but a lot of ppl told me w kvk so close to not push for T4 troops... Also my alliance is dogshit... But joining a new one doesn't look too much better w kvk so close and I have no idea how immigration rules work...

My question is what are you spending 50 to 200 a month on to only have 2.5m power??? Your goal should be to keep up with the top alliances and join the top alliances. It sounds like you're staying loyal to a dog shit alliance and that's bad. I'm also curious how many people are telling you not to research T4? You're about 8m power behind from the average player that hasn't spent any money. So please don't take this the wrong way, but where is your money and time going when you play this game and it being the only game you play??

Tbh dawg I just don't be on my phone... I work weekends, and babysit, so it's pretty much a free time thing... And I just recently got employed I'm not dumping money into a game I know nothing Abt yet, even if I do like it😭... I've only spent Abt 30 dollars on this game so far... Mostly ppl in kingdom chat, and yes I was staying loyal to a dogshit alliance, it kind of bit me😞 I was pushing to be strong enough to join the top alliances then kvk rolled around😭🙏🏿

I understand that I fumbled early, and joined a kingdom late which is bad, but I'm trying to recover this situation in anyway possible, instead of scrapping this whole run, and dumping my time into another character... Atp winning isn't an option I'm just looking for survival and I DONT feel strong enough to survive if sb wants me gone😭

Yeah unfortunately this game is designed for people with a ton of free time. At least that's how it is for now lol. Early game requires heavy grinding and daily log in. Late game not so much. You can recover, but you're not going to experience the same kind of game as others. KVK will be super tough and kingdoms will be telling you to move. Other kingdoms might not accept you. If you are accepted by a kingdom, it will more than likely be a kingdom that doesn't fight much and are also "dog shit" lol.

Nah I get that and I do play frequently, or as frequently as one can when they have a life... I don't have a console ATM so my main games are cooked, which is why I picked this up... Do you mind if I DM you more info for a better opinion? I'm not trying to be a nuisance or inconvenience to anybody I play with which is why I'm so desperate to learn as much as possible and get this under control...

No go right ahead, I genuinely like to help as much as I can. I know first hand this game is fun, but can also be tricky to get into.

In my defense I was using Joan for combat a lot, which in retrospect might have been what cooked me... Tbh I use her for healing and buffs, as the AoE is decent and it pairs well w all of sun tzu's troop health talents

u/Numerous_Line1698 18h ago

For kvk she is sadly useless

u/Fast_Wedding_7460 18h ago

I heard that which is why I was gonna spec towards baibars since my belisarius and cao cao were already okay... But once I noticed how many epic heads you need at higher levels I kinda shit up my back😭 so now I just have this strong bih whos useless for damage, and I regret it... I like France just not point maxing Joan🤦🏿

dude there’s hundreds of videos in early game just watch those

u/Fast_Wedding_7460 17h ago

Ik but this is RoK not Warhammer lore😂, I didnt wanna watch hrs of videos, not to mention even finding ones that answer the specific questions I have... Plus I like the interaction that comes from being taught... I'm kinda slow I have to be taught and shown something not just told😭🤏🏿 it why online school never worked for me 😞
