I SPENT 1,400,000 GOLD IN AN HOUR

ok im not very good at typing or writing but yer gonna hafta bear with me. cu this needs to ber said.

it is possible to have a Call of War addiction problem. in your excitement you can spend far more gold than you know.

during play discussions came up on good players getting together in a serious game. so already this is like WWF smackdown to me, a real game where it all matters, the supper bowl.

at the same time pop ups came arround....Happy Birthday Call of war you can get a 100% bonus on your gold.

so i bought a hundred bucks worth ...cha chinggg.. what a great deal.. i think ill buy another... cha chinggg

now fast forward to the game of 22 where lots of high ranked players and a few MODs are in even. we wait, and wait and wait for the game to fill up... then BAng the gate opens....

minute 1 adrenaliine high resourse starts low. i take my standard Greater Romania spot.

i first begin 2 artillary factories, 2 tank factories, and an infantry factoriy. 3 seconds roll by i think too slow

mind you i had 1,400,000 goin into the game

i hit the make button... on ALL, THEN LEVEL 2 FOR EACH, BING MAKE IT 2 is fast but 3 will be faster so i step all up to level 3. al in less than 60 seconds, built.

no moral my standard starter building, make it, buy the make, ching, all 5. (mind ya im only focusing on the 5 not the few minor with resource YET) propaganda only goes to 3 so that should be easy. run 3 on all 5 buy 3 on all 5. then same as recruit, only 3 so we do that run recuit to 3, buy the finnish. all 5 max propaganda, and max recruitment for manpower.....

anyhow now industry. 1 is simple cheap, to 3 then 4 and of course i ran out of given resource 40 buildings ago. so the first pop is you don't have enough want to use gold to produce? YES!!! then gold to make it. level 3 and 4 industry take 2 or 3 times hitting that use gold to finish them.

now i have industry to level 4 made on all, i buy industry to 3 on all the sub provinces, same way buy the resource with gold start the making, buy the making.

then the research buy the artillary, tank, infantry, cruiser, all bought with gold in less than a minute.

no resource we begin making units, artillary work best in stacks of 10.... so buy a gun with gold to start making it, then buy its make time, 10 times, we got a stack, move it out, do it agaiun. we got a few borders we're gonna need about 10 stacks.... yep 10 times 10 and all bought with gold, as fast as the button could go.

same with tanks, about 30, infantry, and 12 cruisers. wait cruisers arent stealythy enough, lets do subs.... we buy sub research, make (BUY) 6 subs to spy on our neighbors.....

this was all done in the first hour of the game. then diplomacy i write ukrane for a momentary truce. he agrees (momentarily) i offer to show map, he decines.... he tells me turkey is going to play a peacfull war...

so i next write turkey, he and i show map. so he sees what i have created in less than an hour. 2 10 stacks of artillary tanks and infantry on all yugoslavian borders ready to pounce.

word gets out to italy and he screams GOLD CHEAT kick Romania he's cheating and used gold, we arent supose to be using gold, he's cheating.

sweden invited me so i asked him, gave him share map, he sees what it was too.... so there are witnesses that i actually could and did blow 1,400,000 gold in less than the first hour of gametime.

mods playing i didnt want to offend the wrong people, circle my entire force..... and walk it out into the middle of the ocean... i stop all produtction.

and quit the game......

any opinions. cuz i've hear it both ways. 1 says it was wrong. another says ill never see any of it back. and watching it after i left they are using gold.

Glory to the Ottoman Empire!

It's understandable why you spent the gold. Once you convert real money into funny money, it's easy to spend it. If you had to open a physical wallet and count dollar bills, it would feel different, and you might not do it.

From a gaming point of view, though, I don't get it. When you build a day 10 army on hour 1, all the challenge is gone from the game. You end up spending money AND decrease your enjoyment of the game at the same time.

Not to mention everyone else on the map, who don't have a chance. That map is basically ruined for everyone, unless you purposely walk away as you did. And for that I commend you.

I would change my thought if it was not bought, you didn't do all this for nothing, go for it, and it IS very enjoyable. I want to do this when i reach 1.5 mill too..

This style of play is completely uncomprehensible to me. It certainly doesn't have anything to do with "playing with good players"... this kind of coining turns a carefully balanced game into a ridiculous... erm... don't even have a word for it.

In any kind of serious "good player" games, the usage of gold and/or boosters is prohibited and if you signed up for that, it is perfectly logical that you got banned.

I have to wonder if the poster is trolling us. He said he picked Romania and built 12 battleships on day one with gold. Battleships are only available to build with Pan Asian on day one and I don’t think Romania fits that criteria.

even gold use needs a strategy, Im not sure 1.4 is enough to do all you say you did, but if you did you just squandered it.

This poster IS a known troll. Don’t believe everything he says.
