Stronghold and Cannons. I tend to focus on attack so for me Citadel isn't worth the money.

Oh by the way oldmanbob - 'newbie! newbie!'


Sorry couldn't resist

Well, its great that you got the top levels, but it depends if you actually need them. For example, you dont really NEED Cannons when you only have a few dozen 2560s, and the same for Citadel. Its better to spend the money on the weapons themselves before upgrades.

yep, wait til you have a bunch of 2560's before you consider going for the upper levels.  believe me, it's a good thing to wait sometimes ;)

NEWBIE! NEWBIE! :P

I disagree.  It didn't really hurt me selling off 40 2560 weapons to get citadel.  It's an ego thing- and believe me, you feel good once you have citadel or cannons.  ;)

Oh, and I have citadel and dynamite  :D

/me points the newbie out to lanair


i feel good about getting a top fortification.  but i think it depends on what you want.  for example, i want a solid defense.  so i sold a bunch of attack 2560's to get moat and stronghold a little bit ago.  it's worth it for some, but you should think about what you want first.

And I would upgrade everything except unit production if I had that many weapons.  ;)
