Crops

Ok so I'm level 15 with crops n the next stage requires 25 coins to upgrade. I got a ton of troops n they use alot of crops, I occupy crop oasis but as soon as it drops from 9 to 8 I'm in the red again. It seems like everybody is battling for these oasis's also. Should I shell out the cash everytime to upgrade or just keep attacking oasis? Or is there a better way?

1. move to another place
2. red numbers arent bad >> had -20k/h with lvl9 oasis etc.

Yea running negative isnt bad, unless its a huge deficit (40k +) u should be fine...

Some options:

1. Split your troops up between cities, with a couple subs at lvl 15 crop you can manage almost another 9,000 crop consumption before negative (and running negative in subs isnt bad either)
2. Resign the lvl 9 oasis a couple hrs before it resets to 8, then recapture (after 24 hrs of capturing an oasis it loses a lvl, but resigning resets it)
3. Level up and get more crop oasis, divide lvl by 2 and round up
4. Sacrifice some troops into a fort (no prestige is lost)

ummm i think that covered most of the things to do :/ if i missed something im sure someone will cover for me

Whats wrong with 40k+?

Thanks for the great advice guys! Much appreciated!

not mention yet - you need tech (crop planting +10%) lv 10 -
that also works for your crop oases
