There are plenty of players in Sparta who do not spend a single penny on the game, yet reach high positions in the ratings and do very well for themselves. The trick is knowing your strengths and weaknesses, assessing the situation you are in and adjusting your strategy accordingly. While you are still building up your City and Army, you need to avoid engaging stronger Archons directly. As Bria Alexandru mentioned above - use diplomacy, join a strong Coalition, lone wolves will not have as much success as a well-coordinated team.
LOL, that is a flat out false hood and all these mods that say the same thing is just rediculous because these mods get free drachmas, but of course they wont tell you that because they want you to think they are just good players....I used to be in a clan that had a moderator in it and I can assure you he received thousands of free drachmas every so often and always bragged about it so dont let these mods try and fool you into thinking they play for free.
not true, my Heg isnt a coiner, he cant be as for some reason his payment card doesnt work on facebook but his army grows every week, he is high level 90 and hasnt spent a penny for 2 years so it IS possible! He also isnt a Mod :P
Who said anything about your hedge??? Im talking about you mods who claim you play for free, but you don't because you are given drachmas...I could come up with a B/S story how some level 120 guy doesn't spend and places in an event on a solar eclipse event or blue moon, but it would be nothing but a story for the most part .I called your bluff about how YOU do not play for free and are given drachmas, so you change your story and make it about some other person .. It is one thing to really play for free, but saying you play free when you are given drachmas for being a mod is a little decieving
and exactly how much to do think we get? LOL! Trust me, it isn't a lot and it isn't enough to change the world, I spend significant amounts of time that I could be playing Sparta banning spammers, cleaning threads up, finding out answers for players and helping people, THAT'S what the dracs compensate for in my mind, lost playing time when I could be very easily earning them from the game. ALL the MODS do this, they are a hard working bunch and frankly a lot more active here than on other gaming forums I have been a member of.
Now I dont mind helping out and I am not complaining about the fact that we get this compensation for it from Plarium as I am the type of person who 1) likes helping and 2) doesnt expect a lot for providing that help but it does get a little frustrating when people assume we do nothing all day but sit on here earning millions of dracs for nothing, I personally juggle being a Mother, working full time, owning a small farm's worth of animals and being a fairly busy person with also being a mod here and an active member of my team and my alliance
If you think being a Mod is an easy way to earn dracs then why don't you apply for the job because trust me, there is a LOT more to being a mod than answering questions on here :) (who do you think updates and writes the wikki? Who do you think write most of the playing guides?)
I have also never denied the fact we get a small amount of compensation for our hard work from Plarium, I do, however, know a fair few high level players who dont coin and never have done so it is a FACT that it is possible (and tbh they probably enjoy the game far more than someone who sits going wah wah wah I cant beat coiners all day long)
I will also point out that this thread is about playing without coining not how the mods get dracs for their time spent helping others so please, keep the thread on topic or I will close it
