The Low Point Strategy - discussion

[TYhermyte]

Excellent.  Having just done this though it appears that the Points from Soldiers that you Disband (or at least Colonize with...) do not go away?   

I was at 29 Points, Build 400 more Archers and went up to 56.  I colonized my 2nd Province and the Points are still up.. Resources are all hidden in teh Depots, but I am now over 50 points and not much in the way of an Army.  Did I bif something up?

they don`t disappear or, if you want you lose the amount of points when you colonize, then get it back when you have the province.

normal disbanding reduce your points, ofc               

[TYhermyte]

Ouch.  So I am over 50 points with no going back.  Now I understand why the strategy says to wait three weeks.  Doh!

[k_mihai]

try to build 800 spears + 200 archers as fast as you can, then attack neighbors.

this is one of the weak spots of the strategy, when one jumps to the second province, because 6-8h the resources are unprotected and one must be lucky until the 2nd province can be colonized. try to keep (in the future) the points at 20.

I am playing with low point strategy for the first time and my biggest problem so far is that Miltary academy lvl 5 can not be researched because centralization 5 must be researched first.

yes, i know, is not good. i was forced to use only 4 attack groups when i played low points

[Radooo]

hehe...i really know that (from last era) ...and the funny thing is that you need carto 1 for centralization 5 ...but you will adapt with these small problems

[andy_eu]

I saw that Cartography is needed, I will try to keep it at 0, so I don't press a button by mistake.

...and it is more difficult to play with carto 0, my army is so slow carrying so much gold every time

[Radooo]

but is so nice to play with carto 0

[k_mihai]

not if you are in a corner


andy, you can adapt the strategy, even build centr 5 if you want

I have played low point strategy five eras in a row and its the suitable strategy for my life stile.  I think that people should choose their strategy based on their life style and how much time they can spend behind computer. I have  played 16 hours in a day 4 months and it ruined my summer .

any suggestions on what to do after you've gotten your lvl 7 fort? do you abandon the low point strategy then? or still stop (almost) all research but keep ordering soldiers? hope you can give some advice. thanks

I am new.
Low point strategy sound like an interesting strategy.
I understand that if I am below 50 points, I got newbies protection.
If I am above 50 points, anybody can attack my province, including those have 1000 points and above?

nope.

only people in x2 (double or half your points) without penalties

people in x5 with some penalties
