ELVENAR GEM PLUS

One, we have built Woodelves residential district in a rectangular shape – rather than a long ribbon as I used to do. Sounds like a nightmare to upgrade… Yet I believe that in this case it would be rather straightforward. And for kickers, they even change orientation!

Worse still, residences change shape (3×5 vs 4×3). That’s more than 50% increase! Unfortunately, this comes at the cost of increased size (15 vs 12 squares). In S&D we again get two extra levels on the residences – L24 and L25, and that provides quite a nice boost from 1,200 to 1,820 per residence. Timing on these is uncertain, but the good news is that we’re not counting on these at all in our Elvenar Sorcerers & Dragons planning. So there you have it, I expect to get 3-5 additional expansions during S&D chapter – comparing to the target layout. This assumes that I decide to spend diamonds on another premium expansion, and not on Builders’ Hut or Magic Academy upgrade. This means I may get 1 extra premium expansion, or I may get none. So I expect to get enough diamonds for another premium expansion, but I will wait until 10% discount shows up.

Plus there will be 200-400 diamonds from end of chapter transition. I started the chapter with 1,300 diamonds, and running 4x Wishing Wells I can expect about 600 diamonds throughout the chapter.

Premium Expansions: The next premium expansion (#6) costs 2,000 diamonds, or 1,800 if I can time it with 10% discount.

But if I keep scouting at the same pace, I should be getting about 30+ extra provinces, which means another 2-3 expansions As I overscout, I already have all the provinces needed for Halflings Advanced Scout (250/250).

Province Expansions: This one is a bit trickier.

Research Expansions: S&D chapter has only 2 more research expansions (39 and 40).

So here is a breakdown of additional expansions that we may expect to get during S&D: It’s nice to have some spare space – we can use it for events and Fellowship Adventures, and/or we can populate it with some mana-producing buildings, or some event buildings that we may get from events. They will just come up at different (and uncertain) points during the chapter. This is a very conservative assumption in planning for Elvenar Sorcerers & Dragons, and in reality we will have more expansions to play with. So the initial layout had 86 expansions, and the target layout utilizes 87. Well, technically I used one more than that, for Magic Academy, but this expansion would already be in place within the first couple of days of the chapter. This means that I couldn’t effectively use these expansions during the chapter, hence such a target layout would not be overly practical.Īs you can see in the S&D target layout above, this time I have only used expansions that I already had at the beginning of the chapter. Several Province expansions were only unlocked after the last AW research. This made it a bit difficult to execute as some of these expansions came in pretty late in the chapter. In my planning for Woodelves chapter I did overextend a bit, and included quite a few expansions that I only expected to get during the chapter.
