Underworld building strategy

[Arturu]

I have to admit that I am kinda puzzled with these new buildings.

Unlike in the Fortress there are no defensive units and structures. You have three types of units and upgrades for each of them (in fortress there was only one) and theres 5 attacks per day.

My starting strategy was to keep almost all buildings one level behind the Heart. But is that even worth it?

Right now for that I would need to spend like 10k souls.
And I will get back about 4k fighting tommorow.
Seems tempting to fight on lower levels and just go straight for the heart, which costs 25k.

So to sum things up - maybe its better to keep army buildings 2 levels behind or even more further down the line.

I think for now is better to make Heart->Extractor. Just find easy target on 20-25 lvl (or higher) and keep farm him. When you reach higher lvl than he is just lose one fight intentionally.

As far as I as next lvl gives only +16 souls. Upgrades are so expensive na weak (5 goblins on 50lvl can't deal with char on 25 lvl without weapon). It is just not worth - you invest thousands of souls for x5 +16 (and some bonus from chamber). It will never pay off.

Iwrote recently a full tutorial about on the FR forum and... It was appreciated beyond my imagination! O_O

If you want to take a look yet, if you can understand French or if you want to put it on google translate it's here: http://forum.sfgame.fr/showpost.php?...03&postcount=1

I'm thinking about a translation to post it here, but there is a lot of text. So I will need a little moment to do this proprely

LucaBlack, can you copy-paste your strategy here? I get an error 403 Forbidden and I can't open your link. Or if possible, can you resume your ideas in a couple of sentences without giving any arguments. I would be happy to see them.

My initial strategy was: build the big three - Heart, Soul Extractor, Torture Chamber. This worked fine in the first 3-4 levels. For level 6 however, I calculated that the benefit from the Torture Chamber is too small for its price - it will delay the construction of Soul Extractor 7 by a day (24 x ~600 souls per hour more) and I will get ~+2000 souls in 3-5 days from the Torture Chamber. So as you could guess, I decided to leave the Torture Chamber for later.

As for attacking forces - I am upgrading my keeper only since I got him and he pays off well. I don't think the other two units can justify the investment.

Also, it is important that you pick the weakest and most pathetic heroes on your server. Don't just play random. At some point, you will run out of options and then you will have a hard time for a couple of days, because your armies will be uprepared for the real heroes, but hey, you will have bought so much time before, so being miserable for a couple of days is totally acceptable.

So my current strategy can be resumed like that:

• upgrade the heart
• upgrade the soul extractor
• (if needed) upgrade the gate
• (if needed) upgrade the keeper
• (if not too expensive) upgrade the torture chamber and the gladiator trainer

I don't know if my strategy is good. Feel free to correct me. I will probably start building Heart level 7 tomorrow.

Just forget his "guide" and do like that:

Find easy target, farm on it. Don't invest into deffence. Rush just heart/extractor. Here you can see effects:

Since the underworld is no competition between users, we should help each other for that. Let's set up a list of users not wearing any item/weapon for every world. I've already done that for W1 Net. You can make one thread for each world in the guild tavern of the guild section.

I see your screenshot says "Max Souls at level 46+". Do you really attack a level 46 player? I had an easy target level 35, but tomorrow I will have to do 36+. The next "easy" target is level 54. I am wondering whether to spend 6000 souls on Keeper building level 4 + keeper unit upgrade 7x ...or save these souls and upgrade Soul Extractor to level 7. I will lose 500-600 souls per day if I keep attacking the same level 35 hero, but I will build the soul extractor 6-7 hours sooner, which will give me around 4000 souls more.

If I decide to build the extractor first, then the question changes to "when is the right time to spend 6000 souls on my army and stop losing souls every day".

I would be happy to hear opinions on this one.

You and I have very different strategies

LucaBlack is more in the ballpark

To be fair, you did find opponent that has unusually low stats compared to other players of the same lvl.
