- We reached the High Middle Ages! Our city still looks like being in the Early Middle Ages. Only the Town Hall changed to the High Middle Ages already. What do we have to expect in the High Middle Ages?
Great Buildings
The two Great Buildings of the High Middle Ages are Notre Dame and St. Mark's Basilica. I advise everybody against building Notre Dame. On a floor space of 24 tiles you receive a great building providing happiness and some support for your supply production. In later ages these benefits are extremely small compared to the high investment. Better invest your Forge Points in other great buildings or your technologies.
St. Mark's Basilica is much more popular among players. But I am not happy with it's properties: daily goods and a coin production bonus.
Those who motivated and polished guild mates and friends every day until reaching the High Middle Ages will be able to construct one of the great building of the previous ages now. With diamonds you can buy a possibly missing blueprint or better follow my advice given in the video 'printing your own blueprints'. Regarding fights on the province map, in gvg and the guild expedition I highly recommend to prioritize great buildings with fighting bonus. These are the Statue of Zeus and the Cathedral of Aachen. Those who advance a bit slower now to be able to use more forge points for leveling the great buildings will generate a good stock of coins and supplies in this age with the result that you will never have a problem with these in the future again. At the same time these bonuses make your battles so much easier. Both make the gameplay much more attractive.
For your city development I recommend this strategy: In the Early Middle Ages the Clapboard House was the best residential building. You will still use these long in the High Middle Ages. Wait until you research the Town House. Then start to replace all residential houses of the Early Middle Ages by these Town Houses one after another. This will increase your population by 50%.
As soon as you have researched Granary you should build as many of these big farms as possible. Their advantage is not primarily that they deliver 730 supplies per hour. Each motivation such a building receives from other players doubles the output. A motivation for such a big building is much more effective than a motivation for a tiny building. These farms speed up your supply production significantly.
Replace all cultural buildings from previous ages by churches.
As soon as you have a stock of 300 goods each, you can demolish all goods production buildings of that previous age.
Battles
In the High Middle Ages the Mounted Archers were the dominant unit. But they quickly reach their limits in the High Middle Ages. As a compensation for their great movement abilities InnoGames gave them less attack power.
The first two sectors of the province Canturia can easily be conquered by everybody with Early Middle Age units. The third sector already requires fighting bonuses. The High Middle Ages heavy units are simply too strong for the Early Middle Ages Mounted Archers. Using the High Middle Ages Crossbowmen makes the same battle a simple task. Therefore you will want to replace Early Middle Ages military buildings by High Middle Ages military buildings as soon as possible.
Players develop extremely different from now on as they have different great buildings. The basic battle system is the same for all players. Therefore I simply demonstrate some fights without fighting bonus. The following examples are taken from the province Veletrites.
Against 3 trebuchets and 5 heavy infantry we use the related counter units which are 3 knights and 5 crossbowmen.
In the second battle we use 4 knights and 4 berserks which again are the perfect counters to the computer's team. If your opponent has many crossbowmen, don't use heavy infantry. In all other cases of the High Middle Ages use heavy infantry if you don't have a better concept.
Exactly this is demonstrated in the 3rd example of the province Veletrites. Fighting this way should already be something you are very familiar in after all these battles of the previous ages.
Generally most sectors can be taken easily with either 4 heavy infantry an 4 trebuchets or 8 heavy units using the automatic fighting feature. A team with the perfect counter units will have less lost units of course.
Against crossbowmen and trebuchets you best use knights. Against each heavy unit a crossbowman is the best answer. Against each berserk you send a heavy infantry. Heavy infantry can also be used against knights and the opponent's heavy infantry. This will not work as good as the perfect counter units, but it helps if you don't have the required units.
Generally I again want to emphasize that from now on it is very important for fighting players to have great buildings with fighting bonus. Then you also can be successful against your neighbors.
this is where the authentic medieval background music kicks in :D
Great video as always! I love your calm voice :)
Good video,
I agree that ND is not worth it although St. Mark's was always really important GB for me since I started out as a trader and wanted to have as much goods for GE negotiating and also having ability to multiply coins allows you to easily complete recurring quest which asks you to gather x amount of coins (Fnord) which will provide even more goods.
Now I'm in CE and fight all the way up to 64, mostly thanks to your videos which made me aware how easy it gets but St. Marks and goods it helps me gain trough recurring quests (even more with addition of CF) continue to be important since CE goods can be sold for FPs so easily :) And It's nice to have a reliable source of unrefined goods :)
But I agree that it's not a good choice for fighters especially in the early Eras.
Cheers!
I cant belive you maked a video about the HMA because i yesterday reached to lma
I am very late. The German version of this video was published early in 2016. I promised zo translate these missing videos and the others will follow soon.
@@FoEhints no problem i also learn in german and i watched that videos
I just got in hma and this is really helpfull first thing i came to not gonna lie and i love the way you explain it so theough but so unserstandable
Great vid as always!
Nice! I hope there will be video for EMA city and EMA GE too :)
I didn't feel like clearing any 4 by 5 plots, so I just left my shoemakers in place until I got brewery in LMA. I had a few levels on my lighthouse so supplies were never a problem.
It’s a good era to camp. In advanced worlds, people already have more than 100% bonus on atk by the time they get to HMA and other great buildings suiting their gameplay.
At the end of the fight when they only have heavy infantry left, you can remove your other units from the battle to prevent them from getting injured/killed and you can let your mounted archers do all the work.
If you hover over ur units and theirs, you get valuable info like their range/max range if they move, their movement/reach and their turn. As most ranged units can outrange the heavies mvt if theres rocks/forests/rivers, u just got to kite them until an obstacle arrives and outrange them while taking no dmg. I see people taking unecessary losses and dmg all the time and it makes me whince
Now you have 400 likes
I would agree with everything in this video except building farms. They simply take up too much space, and so although you can get a lot more supplies I would only build one or two farms and at least 8 alchemists. They take up so little space, and during events most of the time you need to do something like 10 productions from your age. Having so many of these alchemists is really handy for rushing through event quests, and in my opinion save a lot of time.
I'd argue for alchemists over farms depending on how you play. If you're deciding to play slowly, then alchemists would be more profitable as two day-long productions could be done for a repeatable quest, which could then be done 15+ times per day, giving all types of rewards/
Fluffy Phoenix The problem is, this youTuber does not do recurring quests. He may not even understand how they work and how important the Chateau is, so he doesn’t get why the St. Marks is also hugely profitable. Or maybe he does, but he doesn’t treat it as an option. It would be good if he did a special video about heavy questing.
None of them xD
Get a himeji
😉👍 Nice
Amazing video 😃 By the way do you plan to make a video about getting advanced troops from other eras before you even reach that era? (for example you're in Industrial Age and you have Modern Era units)
Yes, will come - my video material is about contemporary era, but the same is possible in many (not all!) other ages
I'd like to know that one myself. I was able to get CA units in LMA and InA units in CA through the princess Myciena quests, but I don't think InA is getting any love.
You get PME MG teams in InA
you seem to be using all units. how many millitary buildings do u have at one time?
Thanks to the ST marks I have 100million coins in Inda instead of 30mil :p Hehe I love ittt I could buy thousands and thousands of FP, you need to look at it like that, the SMB is a FP generator, not having it is making your city slower and worse.
I'm not getting much blueprints, how can I get them? I already help people GBs with forge points and also motivate and tavern and stuff
SMB is one of the most important buildings of the game.
For those who don’t associate that immediately: I think with SMB he means Saint Mark’s Basilica. I do not encourage to build it. He says it is one of the most important buildings. Opinions can be very different. Now everybody can see 2 opinions and make his/her own based on that.
@@FoEhints it's good late in the game as gives lot of goods per day at low levels as well and considering overall it consumes less space than goods buildings (of advanced ages). can't be plundered either. ofcourse opinions differ as game styles differ and time availability for the game
I am playing early middle age, I reached GE level 3 via attack and negotiate, usually tropes dead in the war. what is way keep them live bit long ? I have Zeus level 4 and COA level 5, what is your suggestion to make army strong and from next week I am going to High middle age.
Losing half the army in battles is very discouraging.
My fav age
I love your videos, but why do you jump from LMA to contemporary with no ages inbetween
As soon as I have time I will complete the missing videos. Currently time is limiting me.
I wanna move to colonial age but you dont have any video that could help me as much as this
Here's a tip stay in colonial and get alot of colonial goods you will need it for the modern Era
@@kittyisbutter8974 oke thanks.But im still in Late Middle atm. Wanna finish with the event and then move on and have everything ready for it but i cant find a video similar to this that helps
1:10 How come you find the RaH and lighthous GBs amazing, and you do not like the st marks basillica? Does the same as those + its good for the reccuring quests
I think that a single building for goods was enough. There was no need for more.
Today I would not recommend to build a great building for goods at all. These event buildings produce so many goods that you simply don't need these great buildings any more.
umm what strategy can i use in early middle ages? (send the link maybe?)
I have a question: What is the best way to get storage building kits, because I want to store building of earlier age?
Oh. This is a rare question.
Most players complain about getting ‘Store Building’ items all the time.
A good possibility is to complete 7 daily challenges. There is a 30% chance to get that item then.
Sometimes you get it in the guild expedition (14th and 16th platform of level 3). Some events drop it since fall event 2016.
Just use a reno
The church is Too expensive for my age 66K supplies??? Wow soo price
And I dont really use clapbord houses i have 2 meangires
Which one is the max level of a G.B.?
I don’t know.
When the game was published in 2012 the maximum level was 10.
Then they added the possibility to add another level using another full set of blueprints and assigned a new maximum level.
Currently I have the impression that there no longer is a maximum level. 80 has already been reached by many players. 100 or 150 has been reached by some, but this proves that it is possible.
The number of forge points needed for each additional level grows while the effect compared to the previous level shrinks. Levels above 10 help much less than before. Levels above 80 don’t make much sense. But it is possible
@@FoEhints I've seen a lot of players with great budings that, when you click on them, show a message saying that "This building has already reached the maximum level" and then a random number appears at the side of this message (for example: 2826), do you know what it means?
Besteirol Nerd If you reached level 10 then the next level requires you to use another complete set of blueprints. As long as you did not provide it, the current level is the maximum level and the message you saw is shown.
@@FoEhints Ah, understood. Thanks for clearing things up!
@@FoEhints I saw only last week a GB Level open to 1600.
What if the church burns done
Due to the TE questline? It's the questline
and 1 sushin mill
yes, the event bvuildings changed the game a lot
never forget that until 2016 players didn't have so nice event buildings
First lmao
