Most players build 7 To at the start.......

Think of it this way, if you build 1, 3 or 7 you'll still get the same income for BOR when your TOs come in and you remember to destroy your farms. When you destroy your farms you'll have pure TOs so you'll be given 200% bonus income by magical means.

I guess building 6 or 7 TOs is the most efficient, since bankers are jumped CFs early on in the round, and this will help the bankers income more.

"Think of it this way, if you build 1, 3 or 7 you'll still get the same income for BOR when your TOs come in"

"I guess building 6 or 7 TOs is the most efficient,"

Erm, if building 1 gives u same income as 7, why is building 7 more efficient, am i missing something?

As you know TOs take a while to build.....Rather than building one at a time you tend to build 6 or 7? That is why it is very crucial to be active early on the round, get everything building soon as possible. At least that's how I see it. Basically when I say efficient I referring to time as well.

lol. I'll get back to you. Either I don't know what the hell I'm talking about or I'm.........

^^ That was for your efficient question, and the question mark is there because I'm not sure myself anymore.

So maybe if you went back and read the previous posts it would make sense.

the phantom building is the ur home ur palace of such

And its the reason why u cant just build 1 to

BTW its a phantom building cos the forula knacks up unless u have it there (bla bla forumula) +1

starting income = (100 + pop /30) * incomebonus*income-race-points * TO-bonus
at the time your TO's come in, your pop will be around 10k, giving you 433*income-race-points * TO-bonus

0 TO's = 100% = 433
1 TO = 200% = 866
2 TO's = 233% = 1008
3 TO's = 250% = 1082
4 TO's = 260% = 1125
5 TO's = 266% = 1151
6 TO's = 271% = 1173
7 TO's = 175% = 1190

the question is, what gives you more profit when you build it. Should you build 1 more OT, or would an attacker/banker get more profit when spending the recources on MF/RS/CF/LQ (when selling on market). In this case you still need to add income bonus of max 160%.
When going from 6 to 7 TO's, the difference is 17, with max income bonus 27. Would a MF/RS be more profitable?

I've heard I think Talic or Smarts or someone say that they use the 9 TO start strat, though that is because they are going to be built up later I guess?

It all depends on when you are switching to FB!!

In example, without the calculations:

If you are TO banking for 1 day, 3 TO's would be better,
If you are TO Banking for 1,5 day 4 TO's would be better,
If you are TO banking for 2 days 5 TO's would be better.....
.....
Our you smelling what i am cooking?

The longer you hold your TO's the higher you should build them. (At least till a certain level 100 days with 203 TO's won't be good)
So you should plan with your family when it will be your time to get full builded.
Also a side note, don't forget to kill your farms on tick 17 or just before. It will be crucial to give you a high income.
