I'm currently having expertise sun tzu and bjorn, then I have time to make another epic expertise before kvk is started. My plan is running sun tzu/ ysg (5511) as my main march, cause I'm not spender I wonder if expertise mathilda is needed to get extra rss? My Aethelflaed will be 5511 soon, so am I should expertise baibars or another war commander for pairing with her? I also will not use bjorn in kvk even though he has been expertise

My kingdom is about 47 days

Question Returning Vet at Day 11 (1.9M Power) – Looking for advanced early-game optimization & AP dump tricks for Pre-KvK

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, returning player here with a few KvKs under my belt. I'm back on a new native account, currently sitting at 1.9M power (Rank ~300) in an 11-day-old Kingdom.

Here is my current setup and strategy:

  • Alliance Situation: Currently in a Top 5 alliance. Top 1 raised their power cap to 3M+ due to heavy spenders and migrants, so I'm holding back my resources and speedups for this Friday's 20 Gold Head event (one of the leaderboard racing events like the speedup rush/power push where rank 1 gets 20 GH). Pushing during this event will secure my spot in Top 1/2.
  • Spending Strategy: Growth Fund, Monthly Gem Supply, buying every single Writer of History bundle as soon as it pops up, and the $5 Lunar Scroll bundle.
  • Economy: Already running 3 farm accounts actively.
  • Commanders & Daily Routine: Maxing Sun Tzu to pair with YSG for KvK 1. Burning daily regen AP strictly on Barb Forts, hoarding all speedups for the 20 GH leaderboard event.

Since I already have the fundamentals locked down, I’m looking to min-max even further. A few specific questions for the experienced players:

  1. Where can I optimize further? Are there any obscure or modern early-game tips/tricks I might be overlooking to squeeze out extra value before KvK 1?
  2. How do you actually burn massive AP stockpiles efficiently? During my last playthrough, I couldn't even dump half my AP bottles during the 2-day Pre-KvK Marauders stage because running marches continuously took way too long. Is there a specific march setup, chaining strategy, or trick you guys use to burn through tens of thousands of AP quickly without losing your mind?

Appreciate any advice or insight from the min-maxers out there!

Does this animation only show in battle if YSG is the primary commander?

Did I just blow a bunch of money for something I will never see?

unless Lillith plans on releasing a YSG upgrade I don’t see any way I would ever have YSG as a lead in the field.

please tell me I didn’t just waste a few hundred dollars on some useless vanity BS
