Hi,
Currently my stronghold is at lvl 21.
Iron storages all lvl20, one advanced lvl3.
Iron mines all at lvl20, one advanced at lvl1.
Watchtowet at lvl17.
All farms at lvl13.
I have around 20 large food and iron bundles.
Few 5 star heroes are waiting for lb and embleming, but i ak constantly out of food.
Should i continue rushing stronghold and use bundles to emblem heroes? Or upgrade farms and then continue to upgrade stronghold? Thanks.
If I remember correctly, you will soon find that in order to have enough iron available to upgrade the stronghold you will have to upgrade advanced iron storage first.
But even those advanced buildings need to be leveled and it can take half year or even more to get most out of it. Wouldnt skiping upgrading stronghold for 2 weeks and leveling farms instead be better?
Ultimately, you have to level (almost) everything. If you’re suffering for food/iron, go ahead and upgrade your farms and mines and storages. Upgrading the stronghold just gives you more spaces to build more farms, mines and such. You won’t be able to do the last levels of stronghold, hero academy and the like without having storages at maximum.
Do whatever will help you develop your teams and give you access to better loot.
If you predict that you will be doing any upgrading of your farms and watchtower before getting to stronghold 25, do all that upgrading of farms and watchtower as soon as possible.
Assess how valuable emblems are for you. If you have a reasonable amount for main heroes, it may not be so important to unlock Alchemy Lab (accessed at stronghold 23). If emblema are your thing, investing in farms will be even more important.
If you are FtP/CtP, levelling training camps to level 20 can be important for chances of 5* fodder for soul exchange.
If you need recruits, up grade a house to advanced house 9.
Stronghold 25 is mainly important for hero academy which can produce feeder troops for iron (which should be plentiful) and recruits. If you are short of options of hero to level, HA10 can also be useful for potential retrainings to a year old 5 *s.
Nearly every progress is limited by food, so after having at lest one TC20 to get 5* heroes to trade in SE, max your farms, then your storages and houses. Then the Stronghold.Now you can convert more buildings, and max them. Then again the Stronghold.
