On a Daily Basis I Do This...

I would like to present my philosophy regarding gameplay and the strategies I employ on a daily basis. I recognize that some individuals prefer not to spend money on the game, which is a valid perspective. Nonetheless, I will outline my methods and rationale, noting that I occasionally make significant in-game purchases. 

My strategy centers on establishing both short-term and long-term objectives—an approach I apply broadly but have found particularly effective within this gaming environment. I consistently allocate resources to two areas: the Triumphal Challenge and Premium features. The Triumphal Challenge provides unique rewards unattainable through standard play and also contributes positively to clan advancement. While many are likely familiar with the Triumphal Challenge, I welcome any requests for further clarification. 

The Premium feature entails a modest financial commitment per activation and remains active for one week, delivering bonuses across three domains: City, Archaeology, and Battle. I rotate these enhancements strategically to maximize efficiency and reinforce my position. 

• The Great Ruler (City) bonus affords improved support from allies during construction and research, a 75% acceleration in construction and research speed, and a 200% increase in building resource production. To optimize city growth and research, I select the captains Helena, Farhad, and Aurora while utilizing this bonus. During city-level upgrades, I refrain from deploying speedups until full clan assistance has been received to ensure optimal time and resource management. 

• The Great Archaeologist (Crypts) bonus delivers a 100% enhancement in crypt experience, a 50% boost to exploration efficiency and tar capacity, and a 100% improvement in crypt march speed, thereby optimizing the returns from each expedition. 

• The Great Marshal (Battle) bonus facilitates better ally support for army training, enhances army health and strength by 25%, and increases silver and food production by 50%, all of which contribute to superior efficiency and resource allocation. 

Following each daily reset, I first review the Triumphal Challenge to evaluate available missions, adjusting as necessary to prevent excessive hero development by refreshing applicable tasks. Subsequently, I align quest progression with Triumphal Challenge requirements to streamline efforts and minimize in-game time commitments. My selection of Premium features is determined by current mission objectives, with careful consideration of the mandatory 15-minute interval between changes. 

When focusing on accelerated growth, I log in every few hours to progress research and city development. While I generally maintain a balanced approach, there are occasions—such as pursuing Guardian Level 4 to commence artifact construction—when I prioritize specific objectives before re-establishing equilibrium. Historically, I have conducted multiple building and research upgrades per day; however, since attaining Level 5 Guardians, I have moderated my pace to allow speedups to replenish, limiting myself to upgrading a single building daily. 

Moreover, I invest effort into enhancing VIP status and securing personal bonuses for both army and resource production. Though these advantages may appear incremental, they collectively yield substantial benefits over time. Achieving placement in the top 100 of epic events also provides valuable badges and rewards, contributing to overall progression. Additionally, I capitalize on promotional purchasing opportunities whenever feasible. 

This overview reflects my current strategies. Should you require further information or wish to discuss these approaches, please contact me via personal chat rather than this channel. I trust that this outline will prove useful to others.
