Chronicles of Merlin, my new favourite strategy game :). I’m not going to put a review here, you can check out their website http://cm.koramgame.com/. Instead I’m going to talk about my own strategy on how to build your empire.
First of all, there’s a lot of strategy guide in the forum and I don’t think most top players will agree with mine. But hack, each person has their own prefer method and this is what I think is the best for me.
Secondly, I’m going to start with level 40 and above (I’m currently at level 41). Level below that, well, the comments from the forum is good enough to help you to survive in the game.
And lastly, I’m not going to touch which formations you should use or which heroes you should choose. All that is best you experiment on yourself or you can read it from the forum.
Most players when they reach level 40, they will stay on there for months. Why? Well, their strategy is to get the best gear and best hero before they continue to level.
The issue whit this strategy is:
1. You will not contribute much to your alliance. Contribution to the alliance is important because you will gain a lot from the alliance ‘s research. Example, your silver will increase, your farm will increase and many more.
2. You won’t collect much silver from the Mine War.
3. In order to unlock the best hero you need gain a lot prestige. But high prestiges mean higher notoriety level. Players will attack those with high notoriety level because the prestige return is higher. If you move to level 60 legions, you start at level 40. That’s 20 levels different and the next good gears (after level 38) are actually starts at level 55 (apart from a good sword at level 46 and an amour at level 42).
Conclusion: Even if you have the best gears at level 40, you are unable to use them until you reach level 42 (for amour), level 46 (for sword) and level 55 (for gambit and clock). But as soon as you reach level 41, those level 60 players will keep on bombarding you due to your high notoriety. You may have a good hero but it will be useless without those gears!
My strategy:
1. Your prestige should not go beyond 200k. This will give you a good heroes (be aware that top players, some level 100s, are still using heroes from prestige that gain at below 200k, so why bother to go for heroes beyond that?) Also, it will keep your notoriety low, now this is important after level 40 because if you lost in battle with other players you loss banner and building level! No top players want to attack low notoriety.
2. When no one attack you, you can be assured that you don’t have to spend silver to re-upgrade your building level. Your banner is safe and you can maximise it to gain Better Point.
3. Use your banner to earn as much Batter Point as you can, by doing that you may also get good gears from the NPC drop (if you lucky).
4. Slowly level up, when you level up make sure all your gears + research + heroes level is at the same level as your city hall. You need a lot of silver and Batter Point to do this but your silver will increase as you level up, so is you collection from the Mine War.
5. When you reach level 55, stop levelling and make sure you got all the good gears ready. Then is time to go to unlock higher level heroes. This is where you attack other players. But by the time you reach here, if you follow my strategy, by keeping yourself under radar from other players, you would have earn enough Batter Points and upgrade your good gear properly.
