tigers dens and a couple watchfires for a total defense boost of about 33/70. I only have a handful of other defense structures, i.e. I basically stopped leveling them a couple years back. I did build the two defense GBs, have them at level 5 and 6.

or just collect on time and choose defenses that counter the attacker's units. In the later ages, the only way to stop neighbors from attacking you is to either max out deal + sbc + have 100+ watchfires. I can clear 400% boosted defenses that are one age above me and only lose a couple units. To answer your question, in later ages watchfires are pretty irrelevant. There are no upgrade kits for those buildings instead players had to trade in the previous version of the building to receive the next version, as part of the event questline they were part of.Click to expand.I've played since open beta began (before the us server opened) back in april 2012.įirst of all, watchfires didn't even exist until Easter of 2013. Although they can be upgraded, the mechanics are different. Some buildings can be upgraded without the upgrade kit, for example the Confectionary and the Tree of Love. Shrink Kits are in essence like upgrade kits however they only reduce the size of the buildings and do not increase the production properties.

Note that the upgraded building will be from your current era, even if the old one was from one of the earlier ages. Buildings that become larger in size will be stored, while buildings that keep the same size or become smaller will stay in your city. After the upgrade kit has been used, some buildings will be stored in the inventory and must be placed in the city again manually others will be placed directly on the same spot in your city, and the production timer will not be reset. To upgrade a building, the upgrade kit must be used on the corresponding building that is already situated in the city. Upgraded buildings gain better properties with each level. The Upgrade Kit is an item that can be used to upgrade an eligible special building to a higher level.
