[@hyped9621]

so chis is investing in velyn with the legenary shards worth it i mean his a gold key commander , if so going for 5511 on him and then save them for others is better? and is ther events in this game like the more then gems event ?

Woot! He works a huge amount of information at a fast pace. Love it 😊

[@stevie3243]

Great guide. Started the game 2 weeks ago. Helped me a lot.

[@tobbcittobbcit8899]

As a roc/rok veteran(first started on server 1033 when released) I gotta say this cod, seems a LOT more friendly to the f2p experience than its predecessor. Certainly have peaked my interest

[@Recusant39]

Thank you! This video helped, especially that you spoke to us the reasons why to do these things.

[@afdalazman8257]

One day, more heroes will enter the game. whales will have more heroes to fight. stamina is not an issue for them anymore

[@danielalvarez3499]

You can only level so many heroes.

Its not true cause you need lvl up your heroes

[@ItzZAleX487]

Yeah but at some point when you'll unlock almost everything like the t5, yes those whales will still have an advantage but less, you'll be able to beat them

I have a question for you if you can answer me my friend I will be spending nothing on this game do u recommend me to play this as a F2P player because I don't want waste time if I will just get beaten by p2w player

[@Arnyh0ld]

Another thing to consider when it comes to troop capacity is the tier of the units. As far as I could tell it is way better to fill your legion cap with T1 and then proceed to promote them once you are full. I am a mid spender, but even with spamming speedup on training I would not have full marches without this method. Checking at the stats and the training times I think this is more efficient as tiers simple look like multiple units. One T3 has the stats of 3 T1 units combined and their training time is the same as this. It means training a T1 and promoting it to T3 takes the exact same time as training a T3 from nothing. Hence I think there is no point to do that until you fill.

[@MivaYT]

this is awesome info

[@Maximise07]

as a very active F2P player, pushing dragon trials and getting my 10 behemoth guard kills every day, i've found myself with 600k+ excess prestige, and the thunder roc hasn't even unlocked yet for me. I'm starting to gem the 10hour+ policy queues on resource gathering and load capacity. running out of resources to do building upgrades and tech is a real issue with F2P, so I think the gathering boosts is worth gemming for once you hit that excess

[@francisanyanwu5998]

As a free to play where do you get the gems from to do such

[@eninemire17]

I hope you see this soon, I just became leader of this alliance out of the blue and I've no idea how to do all the things I need to do, so it'd really help if you can make a video on as leader what to and not do on call of dragons.

[@NashemMonadi-dk6us]

Hello i'm your new fan from cod😊😊

[@justsoci]

Can you make a video about what should i upgrade on a farm account, policies, researches etc.

[@evandroevandrissimo6316]

I ain't even playing these games no more but damn I love listening to this dude speaking lmao

[@galloviking4766]

Gem farming: you get "gem poisonning" which slows down gem farming after around 1000 gems a week. Darkling farming: darkling hits way too hard to be chained farmed anyway.

[@sabor2149]

Still love your content man,

[@perc-ai]

[@love4remind]

Hello, how do you open the daily reward chest? The one offer you perform 6 daily quests?

[@user-fw6uq6vl7w]

Soooo you're speaking that game is more friendly for f2p and low-spenders players, but at the same time how can it be more friendly if: 1) having stamina means that whale can send 10-20 experted golden coms against your 2-4, assuming active f2p can make 3 comms per year as in ROK (because they have gems to spin and money to buy heads) and as f2p your just squished then cause you only have blue and violet comms to go. 2) you have 1000 gems per week limit which means less spins which means less commanders and other things to compete against p2w (they just buy gems and thats it) 3) you have rss transfer limit per week which means you cannot use farms to provide as many rss as p2w player has (they just buy it, no matter from official store or other players - thats only affect final price). 4) and on top of that you need to somehow find gems to put in basic techs and artefacts each season to have something to compete.

[@DarkHawkeLP]

As a rough guildline how much power do you think you can reasonably reach as f2p within the first like 2 weeks

[@oportanawut1271]

thx

[@DaSwampWater]

Marksman skills help magic units ?

[@AndyKua]

My alliance finally saw the power of a whale first hand. 2nd strongest alliance on the server sent over one legion to our space. It wiped so many people out that we realized we couldn't put up a fight.

[@JumpingJacksism]

No joke. Fresh server/season, ive played around a week, lvl 19, and in comes some dude lvl 25 and rapes the whole alliance. He got all the merit points now im sure

[@francisanyanwu5998]

Oh lord

[@blitzphantom6615]

Im already vip 8. Should i spend my gems on getting artifacts from events or continue with vip?

[@treyowens38]

Hey! Fellow whale here. You get a TON of value if you max a hero. If you have it maxed then pull it from keys you get 10 season tokens which you can use for any hero.

[@Zetsu38]

In season 1 I think it's much better to use Wadlyr in primary than Velyn

[@grisben]

Also you didn’t mention the Springwardens cavalry are ranged so you don’t commit to melee you can shoot and run like the mongols tactic

[@ErickSingh-xn9lw]

also doesnt it have a season reset that cancels alot of pay to win stuff?

Did they change the gathering xp?

[@3aserg630]

Chisgule , what is drawback if you go Waldyr / velyn instead of velyn primary?

[@eridan565]

Velyn has the control talent tree wich is really good for pvp

[@Chisgule]

You lose the debuffs from the control tree

[@BluishGnome]

I've heard of having a farm account, but I don't understand how you would be able to send resources to your main account. Don't you have to be in the same Alliance with both? And if that's the case, then you're effectively taking up an Alliance slot with a useless account. I get that's it's beneficial to you, but doesn't it hurt the Alliance? Would they even accept your alt account?

[@Chisgule]

Usually a farm is temporarily accepted into the alliance to transfer the rss, then your farm returns to a farm alliance.

[@Super_Sauceman]

I am new. How do you get past the mission rescue the orcs

[@GrandpaGrigsGaming]

Time to rethink your entire F2P guide. With the new update and no XP above level 50 for NON-STAMINA using activities, is it even worth investing in gatherers at all in Season 2 for F2P and low spend players?

Yeah for more rss

The problem with this type of game is that higher level players just wipe you out and can do so repeatedly. What's the point if you are attacked over and over and lose everything.

Ngl the chianing in rise of kingdoms was annoying, because even tho U would think it helps f2p, it just waste alot of time, and makes you feel that you work the game not play it, I think with enough experience and skills you can get to high level even in RoK without Chaining.

CoD is fun but the devs and "staff" don't GAF. I've reported TOS abuse over and over and they choose to just ignore. I get it - they have a bottom line which isn't the players. You readers won't care about this unless\until you've become the victim of it but then it's too late. Money spent and gone. I'm definitely recommending staying free to play and not spending money on this game if you want to stay happy and see value. You have been warned and it's your money...
