After seeing such incredible enthusiasm I simply can't remain inactive (we don't have anything to do in EW 7 before Update is out anyway 🙃 ).  And, truth be told, I haven't found any real challenge in new ET games. So, I am in the game too. I haven't played latest EW5 missions, and it is a good challenge, I think. But I have to underline it: I hate EW5 conquests And a thought that I have to play 21 of them makes my feet trembling and my heart beating Have you played any conquests yet? If it's any consolation I'm in Discovery Age and only have one more Empire campaign to go and haven't done any. I suspect when I do the motivation will either be for the Literature for Gunpowder or the item rewards. |

Iron Duke , sad to hear you drained your master account. At least, you able to max all of generals to level 70 and their skill as well. Surprise to see you have low blue coins though. Do 20 missions/days for 4+ years is definitely pay off well. stoic , Regarding Paris, you did read my castle page, so I would say look at the graph I post in my castle's overview link. They have the stats boost for recruitable unit outside castle mode. So if you like to have buffed generic units, and have some medals to spare, you might want it. If you mainly rely on generals, and generic is just meat shield, just forget about it. That's for stat wise. For resource wise, the only resource that could be meaningful to you are silvers as you can exchange them for various stuff in market, but they are not cheap and with new account, you won't earn them easily, as siege battle opponent choice does get narrower. For ex: at 120+ siege battle, all my opponents give top reward (also meaning they are the toughest per game rating). I post the quick summary of my silvers earns and spent in discord a while ago. With new account, you probably can easily reach 4K silver in defense after half a month. After that, enemy max level will be between 40-44 at round 11. Could be challenging for a month old account. You can get 3K+ silvers reward from max building and progress in defense/siege battles. You will need a lot of resources in Paris to get there, but it only takes about 3 months to max everything there if you update all the resources building first. I spent 7.2K silvers to exchange medals at the rate of 20 medals for 600 silvers, so only 240 medals for 7.2k silvers. Quite pathetic. In short, it's just a fun mode, and not really help much in campaign/empire mode (unless you like buffed generic units). Up to you now if you want to work on this one.  blueberry , I have no ideas when I finish updating my last artifacts. I do exchange a bit of blue coins for relics, but I don't think I do it a lot. I do legend mainly for extra medals/day, and blue coins just keep stacking up. Does Big Bad Boy (Maximus Pompeus) in Discord a member here? I just use his little guide on playing as god down here: 1. Click on england first and then click on russia and press start button fast. 2. It's not hard at all. Give it some tries. You just need to have your finger ready to click on that spot. Has anyone calculated the medals rewards vs spend for the Castle? I know you get some for upgrading the various buildings but you also have to spend some on the castle as well. I've only just unlocked Siege (doubtless an oversight on my part) and am trying to work out if it's worth the extra time every day as potentially the only real rewards are the special items... |

Nope, I want to create a team able to win 3 first conquests on autopilot or, at least, close to that. |

Iron Duke, if I'm not wrong, the one-time Medals package, all daily Medals exchanged for (within the first day up to the day of claiming all Achievements) and achievement rewards should cover a large portion of the medals spent should cover at least half of the 5,100 Medals spent. 100-110 Sieges = 500 Medals 150 Sieges = 1000 Medals 50 (Sucessful) Defence = 500 Medals 100 Defence = 800 Medals(?) This amounts to 2,800 Medals. Let's assume that one steadily claims the daily exchange of 20 Medals for the last 30 out of (the minimum) 50 days, that would be 20 × 30 = 600 Medals. Additionally, let's include the one-time goal of 300 Medals for 6000 Silvers. This bumps up the immediate and short-turn returns to 3,700 Medals or a loss of 1,400 Medals without playing further (unless there are missing rewards).

Thanks, I can see from that that we're looking at 1900 to upgrade the castle but I'm pretty sure you get some of those straight back as rewards, and in my other game I'm due 600 for 110 Siege victories soon. However some of the rewards are resources only used in Paris, so worthless for the game proper. For arguments sake if we can get back e.g. 50k medals for spending 1900 + time then it's worth it, but if we get back only 2k medals then I'd rather spend my time more productively. I am aware of the other thread but it's 9 pages long and I haven't had the time (or motivation  ) to read it all yet. |

I think I'll put it as the lowest priority daily/12 hourly task; even with my super team it's quite time consuming and with 2 lots of Legend mode, invasions and Arena already it doesn't leave me a great deal of time for actual playing on most days! |

Yeah, it takes me 18 minutes per defense more or less. This whole castle mode is so time-consuming that I barely played EW7 in the last 4 months. But as soon as I get the last achievements, Paris won't see me again. Btw, what name are you using in castle mode for your main account? |

Is there a leaderboard or something or just the possibility that one of your missions will be against my team? |

blueberry, Same here bro, it's hard to manage both ew5/ew7 when they add extra task in boths. Cheer for you almost finish defenses though. Iron Duke, no leaderboard. It's just out of curiosity when we go through list of opponents.

It's just out of curiosity when we go through list of opponents. I'm not so close to getting the last achievements (assuming that they are the last ones). Currently at 78 defenses and 123 sieges. Also sieges are time consuming. Now I only find opponents with strong teams. I can beat them easily, but it takes a while. Until a few weeks ago I always found Bloodaxe of Uhud with only Arthur and almost no walls. Now I just attack those who leave their generals outside the walls or all amassed on one side, so I cam break the walls on the opposite side and attack them from behind. I usually attack Caesar of Rome, Vladimir of Moscow and Li Hongzhang of Babylon, they're the fastest. Wellesley of Ardennes was also a fast siege, but now he moved everyone inside the walls... |

I left my generals a bit spread out so they can be taken out one by one or in small groups. |

At least we can get some of our investments back in Paris. I am planning to use Heihachiro and, probably, Beowulf, so their personal weapons is a good enough motivation to upgrade buildings and to play. In EW7 they encourage us to build wonders and castles without any rewards whatsoever. Just for the sake of "fun", and, truth be told, the "fun" is of dubious quality at best.
