Oh, what a day...
What a lovely day!
Just checked a replay. New defenses don't even show up. So never count on them to fill an important gap. This could be why I have seen puddles of water in the middle of bases.

Gonna post this again for the new page:



You're on the list to come on over Carcer. Also mentioned this in the chat.

Also, there are a couple guys in LLJK with SA in their name that have never posted in the match. You should post in the thread.

Current list:
these players are eligible for transfer from LLJK:

4 Kanimas
8 Tortoiseshell Tom
17 Stringbean
20 Dread Pirate Rob
23 EdrinShrike
24 Lastbil
33 Carcer
36 Finagle
38 cptn mudduck

First people to transfer before we're full again get the spots.

Looks like we'll have another 2 spots opening up in a few days. We'll expand the list then.

Ok friends, here is a big list of transfer eligible people.

To be very clear about this, LLJK is the overflow guild. 2poor4gems is the main guild with a bunch of PH8s and PH7s where you requests will be filled quickly and the perks are always funded. Once there is enough room, LLJK will completely fold into 2poor.

2poor has 5-7 spots right now. Check that there is a spot before you come over. If 2poor has an empty spot, and your name is on this list, come on over.

4 Kanimas
24 Lastbil
33 Carcer
36 Finagle
39 slouch [SA]*
42 Aleth
44 Koa the Cat
45 Bradsta
46 Temujin
48 Raxor
49 Brovine
50 Kino
51 Rob M Blind
52 Arus
53 Khako
55 Northjayhawk

* need a post from you in the thread still.

2poor is taking a night off rumbles. So, come on over soon and get in our next one.

We're not super strict on the donation stuff. As long as your received doesn't get crazy high over your donated, it's fine. At 1,300+ donated, you're good.

That said, fill requests whenever you can. It makes everyone's experience better! And if your received does get too high above your donated, you'll start getting called out in guild chat. It's only happened a couple times, so you probably don't have to worry about this.

Drop some Pirate Rank if you want to win battles. Unless you're trying to win a rumble, winning really isn't important though. Looting the satan out of people and keeping your builders busy all the time is the important thing in the early game.

Once all your builders are busy, don't some rank and mash nubs 5 times an hour to be a rumble super star.

And at PH7/8 with your troops decently upgraded, you'll pick bases with big loot that you crush for 3 stars every time.

After the last exodus LLJK is really struggling in rumbles due to the lack of actives. Do the goons still there want to keep on with the daily rumbles? I mean, we're currently struggling to hang on to 4th against a guild with 2 actives to put this in perspective.

if it's just going to drain you of gems, there doesn't seem to be much point, a couple of people can only do so much

Has anyone ever tried a maze layout with their walls, so that invaders zigzag back and forward before reaching the base centre? How did it go? The pathfinding in this game seems a bit lovely so I'm thinking it might just work.

Even at PH7 I'm having a bit of trouble protecting my base against high levels. Even without their doing anything fancy they seem to just have enough to power through defences. I think I'll have to try something a bit more clever to funnel them into killzones.

Aleth

At PH7 upwards I believe you can start doing the double wall defence where you try funnel the attackers in to one end, something kind of like this one:



The idea being the AI won't attack the sides because it detects the two layers of wall as well as getting diverted to the outer edge buildings thanks to the beach made from decorations. If you attack either other end you've got the PH or ship to get through with the PH covered by the ground pounder and shitloads of fire either way.

Those goons that are still in LLJK rumbling we really need to find them room in 2poor.

I see we still have one in 2poor who has never rumbled.

It's a little frustrating when you know if just 2 or three more people participated you'd get at least third place rather than fourth :(

Yup, that's why I haven't kicked off another LLJK rumble yet until I get a bit more feedback. We have a handful of us who are on regularly enough to get a couple of wins at least but we also have a lot who either haven't been on for a while or only seem to be on every few days with a lot of our points actually coming from low level pubs recently.

Oh, what a day...
What a lovely day!
What troops are worth using and upgrading? Gunners and Brutes are great. Most of the time my army (at 60 slots) is just 8 brutes and 28 gunners. When I get bored, I will do 5 brutes, 5 juggernauts, 5 bombers and 20 gunners. The juggernauts disarm is fantastic, and I find having them with the brutes on the initial push works nicely if the brutes are going to be distracted by non-defensive buildings. The bombers are higher DPS than the gunners, but what I really kike them for is their wall breaking utility and the insane charge they do when they aren't attacking something.

I leveled up the sky raiders (mostly for hunting ghost ships) but find them underwhelming in raids. The shoot while falling was a big disappointment. They soak up some hits and if deployed well will take out a cannon or whatever.

Witch Doctors need to be heavily upgraded to be worth it. I like the donated one (thanks!) and I am slowly upgrading mine (just finished voodoo hut 3).

Anything else I should waste grog on? Heavy Gunners? Priestess? Skellywags? Thieves? (lol jk)

Gunners and Brutes like you noted, plus Juggs and WDs. My current army comp is 7 Brutes, 4 Juggs, 1 WD, 23 Gunners, all maxed except I dodged 1 garbage upgrade on the WD.

Some people like Skellywags and Sky Raiders, I don't. Heavy Gunners are really expensive and fragile, and are kinda crap even for me at the moment. I'm working to get the last 2 range upgrades, which should hopefully make them really good. It's going to be a few weeks though.

Priestesses and Thieves are near useless.

Definitely prioritize Gunners, Brutes, Juggs, and WDs, in that order probably.

Some chatter from the devs on the official forums about the coming updates that I dug out of the official forums:

Midoki posted:

June 5 2015

As mentioned previously, there are future plans to allow tavern queueing, separate crew recruitment for exploration (no more accidentally jettisoning your crew into the sea due to a full tavern), plus some tweaks to recruitment times and costs.

Midoki posted:

June 19 2015

Again, I really, really can't give dates, as some stuff gets moved around quite a bit due to a variety of reasons (plus we've learned from past experience generates a lot of bad feeling on the forum and really quite abusive emails and PMs, heh - not everyone appreciates that there can be delays outside of our control!). But, that said...

Over the next few months there will be:

a new PH with a couple of new defences in addition to extra levels and extra units of existing defences
Additional single player events
A new exploration map
A major new feature
A few new smaller features
Continuing improvements to existing features and general bug fixes


[DISCLAIMER!] ABOVE IS NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST, NOR NECESSARILY IN THE CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER OF PLANNED RELEASE! [/DISCLAIMER!]

Beyond that and going into next year, there's a new competitive guild feature planned, along with a feature that ties in with the previously mentioned major new feature. There's lots of stuff coming up!


They also said something about adding a rank between Captain and First Mate that could also start rumbles or something, I think.

How do you define non-rumblers?

I have been super active lately due just being busy, but I try to take part in one at least a couple times. Hope that's enough!
