Tap Joy

From Rigs:

The biggest thing is taking the time to hunt for the right thing that works for you on tapjoy.   Everyone acct with tap joy is different.   Ill tell you how i do mine and hopefully you will be ale to match it to you.   I tap joy on my ipad and my iphone.   The ipad i use for me and the iphone i use to give gems to ppl in my alliance. Eharmony is the app on tap joy that is my biggest earn.   286 gems a day!  I quickly go on yahoo.com and make a fake email acct and then i register with eharmony.   Everyday i have a new name and sometimes if i am in the mood i even pair up some of my old accts.   i swap bewteen male and female.  My most common go to name is Tina. (Yes ren i put that in there just for u).  Long story short is i spend 5 min of my time and i get 286 gems.  The trick is to delete the app afterwards from all devices! Including your computer!
Ok so how to delete he app correctly as this is the most i portant part and why so many of you give up and say tap joy doesnt work for you! I do not link my devices( when u take a pic from one does it download to the other)   Some of u might so that could be a problem.  I do use icloud but even when u use icloud no matter if the app was free it goes to purchased items.  There is only one way to delete it and u have to do it from your computer on itunes.  Once u delete it then it appears as if u have never "bought" that app so tapjoy lets u use that promotion endlessly.    Go on itunes click apps  then highlight all the apps u downloaded for tapjoy.  Right click and click delete.   Here is the error u can make that means the most..... Another option pops up and the already preseleceted one is wrong so do NOT hit enter.  Instead click move to recycle bin.   Then empty recycle bin and u r done!

Kingdoms of Camelot Map

This is a map of KOC

KOC: Calculating Training Time for T1, T2, & T3 Troops

THE IMPORTANT VARIABLES ARE:
Geometry Research, Blacksmith Lvl, Marshal Knight Lvl, Number of Barracks & Sum of Lvl of all Barracks
The formula is:
Training Time in Seconds = (Troop Qty * Base Time) / (( 1 + (Geometry + Blacksmith)/10 + (Knight / 200)) * (Barracks Qty + ((Barracks Sum - Barracks Qty) / 10)))

Base time is the baseline time in seconds required to train a particular Tier of Troops To calculate how much time it would take to train a particular number of troops you can enter by adjusting numbers in the table below.  You can enter quantity of troops, your levels of Geometry etc. (You cannot change the Base Time as that is fixed)

The time will be calculated in the rows below as total time in seconds or in minutes or hours.
Copy and Paste the table below into excel.  The formulas you need are below the table, you can copy the formulas paste them in excel.

Before you paste make sure you click on cell A1.

Variables TIER1 TIER2 TIER3
Troop Qty 1325 1000 1000
Base Time 90 480 1200
Geometry 9 9 9
Blacksmith 6 9 9
Knight Lvl 0 64 107
Barracks Qty 7 8 8
Barracks Sum 13 53 72
Total Training time in:
Seconds 6276.32 12307.69 24987.51
Minutes 104.61 205.13 416.46
Hours 1.74 3.42 6.94

In Cell B10 paste the following formula: =(B2*B3)/((1+(B4+B5)/10+(B6/200))*(B7+((B8-B7)/10)))
In Cell B11 paste the following formula: =B10/60
In Cell B12 Paste the following formula: =B11/60

When these formulas are in you can copy and paste them to columns C & D

The table below shows how long it takes to gain might for each of the three Tiers based on the might of each tier divided by the base time to train that tier

Might 4 16 24
Might/sec 0.04 0.03 0.02

Conclusion: you gain might twice as fast by training Tier 1 than Tier 3 troops

Resources


The alliance has a bank and no one should be over the protection limits.  It is understandable if your farming and get hit that you can lose resources. However it is not understandable if your losing millions of resources because your not under the protection limits. If you are giving up millions of resources you have been book marked and they will continue to hit you as long as they get resources from you.  Walls won't stop them if you have resources, they are coming for them.  If you are going to keep resources over the protection limits you should have 10 mm might protecting it.   A word of caution though 10 mm might will stop some people from farming you and others will just want to zero you to get to your resources.  So the best option is to use the bank and if you need resources ask in alliance chat and usually someone there will have what you need and if not the bank will send what you need.  In this alliance we are family and we grow faster by helping each other out.

Researching


The most important researches for attacking are poisoned edge, healing potions,  metal alloys, alloy horse shoes, and fletching.    These are the researches you see when people attack you.   Everyone you attack will see these researches as well!   If you have no resource fields and you farm for your resources then you don't have to finish the fertilizer, logging, stoneworking, or smelting! If you are done with your buildings or very close to being done then you don't have to research giants strength.   If you have no storehouse then don't need to research shrinking powder.  I suggest you do magical mapping as it will always help you throughout the entire game the same applies to geometry and eagle eyes.  You can stop on level 9 for featherweight powder for sure.

Surveying


hills= sapphire     woods= emerald    grassland= ruby     mountain=diamond  lake you cant survey.      several people have asked if surveying is a waste of time.  They could have left it out of the game but it can be useful.  You can survey while sleeping and it will not mess with your playing time.  Then when you have enough you can turn it in for something and it didn't cost you anything.   So how to survey - click your castle and go to wilds tab (far right may have different name) from here you can tap the coordinates for your wild and it will take you straight to the wild.   Reinforce it with 1 or more troops and once the reinforcement arrives a little shovel will appear to the left of the march tap it and survey will begin.  repeat until you have done all the wilds you wish to do.  Important Note: The higher the knight you use to reinforce with the faster the survey will go however if you do it while sleeping it wont matter.
