Round 50

[Jer]

After getting to round 50 for the first time, I am now confident that that top players on the leader board are doing something suspect.

the best i got in my 72 hours of Nordhold is 50 one time, but it was the end for me.... i give up

Jesus wtf, half the time I can't even make it past wave 10.

How do you make it to wave 50 ? Are you playing casual or normal difficulty?

Hitting 50 with Runetower solo, had 26 banners on them and i feelt like if i had some synergy fusions i would come to 60.

Weak debuff, freeze chance, all good synergys.

Also i think 100% armor and block penetration is a need.

(my problem is more i see peoples reaching 2000+ ressources with outpost on wave 50-60) how the fk do they setup the outpost spam that efficent?
Maybee they spam rerolls on oracle to get specific stuff.

Roll for wood, use Runeforge to lower spec prices with Odin, spec woodcutter camp for 170 wood in round 1 (gives +80 wood passive income) and snowball from there via ships.
Essentials: Druid House -> max Wildlife Ritual asap and choose right oracle (+ress on map).
You have the university up in round 3 and after 1-3 essential combat upgrades, u go heavy into outpost research. Next building u spec is Tavern (=+100% outpost prod)
workshop is 3rd and last spec later.

Brewery specialization gives +100% to outpost production.

University can give an additional 50%.

I am still learning the game and just got all that rolling. 2k wood/stone per turn at wave 38-ish.

Combine with the +resources per new tile that comes from the rewards between rounds and the druid building. (Had a tile with 41 on it for resources last game. Probably can go higher, that was my first few attempts trying to push resource production.)

If your offense is stone heavy towers (likely), that leaves a ton of excess wood coming off outposts to... make even more outposts.

There may be exploits I am unaware of but that particular bit is legit.

P.S. Don't do that by wave 38, too many resource and not enough pew pew, lol.

Yes, wave 50 is really fierce. I haven't gotten any further so far. However, I didn't have any fusions. Runstone to increase rate of fire and 52 Raven Tower with about 25 banners.
A lot of outposts were also at the start. 2000 stones passive income per wave, but if a Raven Tower costs almost 700 stones, you can only build 2 new ones per wave.

seen someone in the community pushing extremly hard on the luck tree in university and getting very good results, maybe worth to try that out too to push beyond 50
