DrugWars update - week 3steemCreated with Sketch.

in #drugwars5 years ago (edited)

Three weeks ago, I started playing DrugWars. Therefore it is now time for the third weekly update on my experiences and the progress made in the game. And what a game changer this week turned out to be!

Production

Below, the screenshot of my current production can be seen. I made just a little progress, mainly because I had to change my strategy (see below).

Strategy

This week the battles came back online. That means that people can now attack you and you can attack others. I wasn't really well prepard for this (I didn't have many units to defend/attack), so I lost quite a bit of resources in the beginning. After that (or because of that) I wasn't able to really build up an army, so I got robbed some more times. Fortunately there is now a limit on the amount of stuff people can take, because I lost huge amounts to only one Super Bouncer a couple of times.
The "problem" with the battles is that you can be robbed until the moment you reach the amount of safe resources. Therefore my first strategy now is to increase my storage and build an army (mainly defense-focussed) in the mean time. At the same time I stay as low as possible with the resources I own (in order to not make anyone attack me).
After that I can restart increasing my drug production and increase my daily earnings. The drugs I don't use go to the bank as much as possible in order to make some more heist money.

By the way, have you also noticed that the rewards get smaller every day? I wonder how that proceeds in the coming days and weeks. Let's hope they go up again...

Investment and return

Below, you can see my total investment and return so far (thanks to @bookkeeping). It can be seen that I'm on a nice profit now, which is about 8.5 Steem higher than last week.

They don't (as far as I know).
People pay to get their buildings upgraded and part of that is distributed to the players. Another part of the payments is used for running the game, so in the end the average player doesn't win. But I might have missed something of course.

If you look at your investment and what a profit I did grant you it is just great!
In the beginning I did fund the heist too much, which did set me back a little. I am now trying to increase my storages so that I can build a new cocaine of pharm lab.
But it will take time. In the mean time I am increasing my army day by day.
Do expect that the rewards will keep on dropping. Not a lot of new money flows in. So the daily income will drop until it dries up!

I'm happy with the profit so far indeed. It is always a bit trial and error in the beginning, but we both figured out now how to play the game pretty well.
I will try to get as much rewards as possible until it dries out, which I expect too.

That is the only thing what we can do! It was fun but it is already on its way back.
But we can look back and say that we made a profit!

They upped the prices so if you step in now you will have your investment back in a year or so you hope. Yeah I'm doing the safe upgrade first also. I'm doing a YouTube casts on the @greendeliver-sm account. 😊

You're right. It is also very difficult to start now with the battles enabled. Fortunately we started early enough.
Will be checking out your channel!
