Crazy, eh Xeeron? I really feel like I'm explaining simple math to people that just don't understand what numbers are. There are SO many factors that come into play when it comes to acquiring resources in Battle Dawn, and FEAR definitely knows the best ones, and clearly some people do not. I feel like I should start a Battle Dawn training group for all of these haters who think that boosting is the only way to be good at this game.
Quick example... Q) How many more resources does a player get if they have 40 conquers vs 4 conquers? A) ALOT.
I could easily purchase tokens if I felt I needed to, but I have never had to. I have still managed to finish in the top 9 in the last 4 eras, and will do so again this era, in all likelihood.
Another great example of what I have done to excel in this game... I tend to capture more wreckages than anyone else. (Morph3us did give me a run last era, but I beat him!) Want to know how many resources I got from wreckages?
I received the following:
2,600 workers
2,400 bonus tokens
3,500 energy
60,000 metal
60,000 oil
Those resources certainly helped me out last era, and I finished in 3rd place.
When my overhead to build troops is 200%, it only makes sense for me to give my resources to other FEAR members too, as we get more bang for our buck... and I do it because I'm all about making FEAR better, not trying to make me a better player. And all FEAR players do this... not just me. So when a player loses his entire army, it is actually quite easy to get them back on their feet in short order... they have NO OVERHEAD!
Thus concludes Battle Dawn 211.
HOPEFULLY, some of the people with bitter beer face will have paid attention and will improve their game. Maybe other casual readers will do the same. We would LOVE to have more competition on E3. It's what makes this game fun.

PS... I played E5 too, under a different name, and got a whole bunch of free bonus tokens there too. Sure made things easier for me this era.
