Thank you, thankyou i have been banking in TC4 and wondered if research worth it? Hallaluyah. Pleantyof resource to move and cheaper, net back some food…always good
I like this guide. It gets thumbs up from me.
Keep in mind too though that, while 8-7 has the lowest energy cost + best recruits reward, it is pretty bad for getting items for crafting.
If you are not trying to get recruits aggressively, I suggest hitting season 2 level 15-9 on Normal mode. Sure, it takes a lot of energy, but on average it’s given me ~20 recruits for 7 flags… not as good as 8-7’s ~10 recruits for 3 flags but the difference is fairly small. However, the rewards are better and more plentiful, so if you’re looking to craft some items this is a good stage to hit in my experience (firestones galore!)

How is storing food in TC’s effective? Once I pull out my units as soon as my houses hit max I can’t pull any more out because even tho food is not maxed, houses are so you can’t pull only food. For example: TC4 1500 food 4 recruits, max recruits are limited to 68 in my case. In the best case scenario (if u have 0 recruits) you can pull 25k food from it because as soon as you hit max recruits (68/68) you will not gain more food or recruits by decreasing the training (it acts as if it is the last training, meaning you dont gain foor nor recruits by decreasing the training number).
Maybe I’m not getting the point of it so I would appreciate if someone would make it clear for me how it is done.

You have to move the recruits to another TC. So for instance, if you have a TC13 and a TC11:
TC13: 70 recruits : 265k food
TC11: 70 recruits : 35k food
So by moving your 70 recruits from TC13 to TC11, you gain 230k food to use on levelling your heroes.

Wouldn’t TC11 with 70 recruits be only 35k food because it costs 2 recruits and 1000 food? I get your point tho.
Food saving makes sense only on higher levels of TC’s?
Should I would use TC4 for constatly getting heroes? Because I see no point saving food through it with 1500 food and 4 recruits cost, my recruits bank would fill in too quickly giving me small amount of food back

Whoops, you’re right about TC11 numbers… I edited my post!
But yeah, you can use TC13 and TC20 as food banks. TC4 is a lower level version of TC11 so a recruit bank and not a food bank. But at lower levels banking is a bit less efficient and usually not very necessary either, so I’d focus on getting to SH11 and TC11 as fast as possible (and SH13/TC13 if you’re F2P of C2P). Shouldn’t take too long!

Food hoards
You can use the following as food banks:
RT11 ( not very good food store),
RT12 ( good food store but only 3* heroes ),
RT13 ( mostly 3* heroes ),
RT20 ( decent amount of 4* heroes )
This works for two reasons:
You can take recruits out of a higher food per recruit training an put them in a lower food per recruit training ( see Notes ).
The training takes hours to finish.
Example
Taking recruits out of RT11 in one training camp and putting them in RT4 in a different training camp takes less food per recruit. So you gain food from this movement.
Recruit hoards
You can use the following as recruit banks:
RT4 ( low level stronghold),
RT11 ( best to bank recruits),
RT12 ( better for food than recruits),
RT13 ( better for food than recruits),
RT20 ( worst for food and recruits but decent amount of 4* heroes).
This works because the training takes hours to finish.

I need an update for players that are completely built out. I can’t use recruits fast enough, I have a ton of them. I run two camps at 20, have one at 11 where I store recruits and then I use the last to burn backpacks and leather (3 and 19). Maybe I could use more recruits if I made advanced heroes but that takes 1 or 2 days, that can’t be more efficient. I do have to work hard to get enough materials to always run an 11 and a 3 or 19 but manage.
Personally I don’t bother with TC20 now as I have all the standard heroes
Certainly with Atlantis Rises it is easy to file TC11’s and I run three of them all currently with 72 days in each and I use the last to alternate around TC1, TC2 and TC19
Sorry, I meant I am doing 5 through 9, not 3.
2 is okay but 2 and 3 are inefficient for feeding my 5s. I Have all the 4s and only run TC20 for 5*s.
Why use TC5-TC9?
Have you read

Yes I have read this but I don’t see how it applies. I have almost 6 teams of 5* heros. I am feeding the cream of the crop and looking for more 5*s. There are some that I want to get to upgrade my teams, many aren’t available in TC20 but a few are. I feed correctly, I just am collecting recruits, 300 days worth and climbing. Tc13-18 might use more recruits but seems less efficient, true? Or is that what you are suggesting?
