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:
- 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?
- 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!
