Knights of the Winter Rose

Hey Knights. We kick off in 3-1/2 hours as of this post.

My 2 cents worth.

Fight camp, not Aid. Better VP value and the boost to fight will serve us better then the boost to aid. I doubt we will meet much resistance to aid whereas we may have to defend ourselves.
Swindle and steal will offer the best VP accumulation for their categories.

The VP gain should be foremost in planning. All camps offer boosts to ALL actions. We will gain more from the actions we conduct more then what the camps specialize in.

Once the hourly ticker is identified, that is the time we should put silver into camp repairs as that is when the VP;s will be calculated.

A rotation of cannon fodder SS is not a bad idea to use as garrisons and to barter within the alliance when not catching arrows in AvA action. Wounded SS make great barterers and will help us gain silver as players to repair camps with.

F4reya, battle buddies with another alliance is still a very valid idea as we will be seeking spoils of all types both for camp upgrading and t supply AC's. We just need to ensure that prior to the hour ending aid will be given and received. We should seek to give/receive on  2:1 basis. This should also work towards getting camps repaired at that hourly ticker.

That's how I see it.

Yeah the camp resources have changed, but those are pretty minor.

Some enlightenment by Lady Freya would be cool.

This may be a good place to ask for and if possible provide useful links.

This should help plan crafting:

Personally, I want to finish Lannister nd get going on Baratheon. Asap.

For AvA, there is a lot I'd love to see us do. We may be able to grab a backet prize. We should wait to see what all the prizes are. There are some awards based on what an alliance does per active player rather then totaling up whatever is spotlighted. Ironbank is an example. We could get something like that. The prizes for that last phase were better then those for placing in  region.

Camps - Fight, Swindle and Steal offwer the best VP potential. All camps provide boosts in all the talents and more so in the specialties. No matter what actions re taken, boosts will be there. We don't have do the actions that correlate to what the camps are. I say this because from what I understand we wish to have a reputation as an honorable, benevolent alliance.

To raise camps (1 Battle, 1 Trade and 1 Intrigue) to level 4 can be done in 3 H 40M (optimal) and would require a total 363K silver and the following resources:

60 Cloth      30 Grain    30 Smallfolk  60 Wood    90 Fur    60 Horse    135 Stone    120 Ore    105 Fish   7 Dagger    7 Doublet    7 Leather Bound Books
7 Silver Chains   7 Milk of the Poppy    7 Linen Clothing    21 Red Gems

Not much more to get to level 5 but war tokens are required for camps over level 4.
