Bland gameplay

Now that I'm somewhat buff the gameplay has seemed to get extremely bland. Hitting people is the only reasonable way to get prestige. With notifications and troop size the only efficient way to do this is city dropping, which requires coins... It's getting old fast having people hide troops after waiting 2 hours for troops to arrive.

Just a rant... Thoughts?

The general title is upgraded based on prestige and treasures. There are quite a few ways to gain general's prestige:
1)Production and construction experience;
2)Training troops;
3)Hunting;
4)War prestige;
5)Task awards, etc.

There are many strategies in our forum and you can learn a lot about the war.

Have fun.

I understand this. When you need extreme amounts of prestige to level the only reasonable way is city dropping, unless you get extremely lucky. Suiciding troops to forts is another way but in all honesty makes absolutely no sense... There should be another way to gain a decent amount of prestige. Tasks? You run out of them at level 2-3 if you know what you're doing.

The only way to get on top is city dropping

City dropping maybe or farming and building

I don't city drop personally. I've been playing for a long time against big coin spenders.
I won't lie; I AM losing rank - more and more every day. I've gone from #1 to #25 in the last two months.
I still keep up a fair amount just by building troops though.
Also you can give your established cities to new players and build news ones. Upgrading those gives that little extra prestige.

I also have my defenses cleared regularly and gain a boat load from putting up more turrets.

Actually adina that helps me to thanks

Ugh I'm terrible. I forgot to mention that I actually do get 10 coins a day so that's probably thrown my point out of the window, right?

Even so, rebuilding defenses is a great way for extra prestige. You can guarantee having it done by leaving a a couple K troops out (with max turrets). That way the enemy who spends 20 coins dropping you gains no prestige since they take so many losses.
Win win because you get to laugh at their waste AND gain prestige from rebuilding :p

Bro u gain about 50k pres if u fully max out each city... its really not that hard and if u do that if u fort farm u can have about 9k prestige from each city every10 hours and if u want prestige find weird ideas and try them such as in s12 i only build inf cav annd archers. simply bc if u break it down they give more prestige than a catapult

Something I've done for my alliance recently because they to have gone "bland" in the daily Haypi rituals is I held a contest for the most prestige in one week and the winner got a nugget or some other treasure they got to chose from me.

All this talk about city rebuilding for measly 50k is rather comical.

That city is much more valuable being maxed in terms of your pres gain, than scrapping it to build a new one. It's all in the building of troops. If you do things right, you can rack up 25-30k+ a day per city just using your population and resources to build troops.

Now I will not give away my method (that's a secret reserved for me and my people), but it really is the second easiest way to get pres aside from pouncing on exposed armies. Do those two together and...well...you do the math.
