Recycling / Box parts are premium

Wow! That does seem awfully expensive to build a fortress, but I guess some people like to show off that sort of thing.

Sorry for those that are fans of the Recycling/Box Castles.

I'm happy to say that the Barbarian Castle set is by far my favorite anyway. I wasn't planning to do much with the other two. Looks like I'll be saving donuts then. :-)

    Do the other two castles not increase your Nerd production though?
    Yes, all three castles produce nerds.

    I have found three ways to make more Nerds:

    1) Collecting "rent" from a castle. There are three castles. Build all three, collect three rents (one from each).

    2) Improving the level on an individual castle can increase the number of nerds you get every time you collect rent. You don't get higher rent every time you level up, only at certain levels. Leveling-up might also/instead increase your city's Defense (not sure the purpose of this), increase your max nerd count, unlock castle accessories, complete quests, etc. I think it's every third level increase is the one that improves your nerd production.

    3) Spend donuts to buy a quantity of nerds. This doesn't improve on-going production, but gives you a boost at that moment.

    Happy Raiding!

    Just upgraded the other castles to level 10, and was sad to see the other 2 castle parts are premium

    Walls are 2 donuts per section (both recycling and cardboard)
    Towers are 20 donuts per section (both recycling and cardboard)
    Gates are 40 donuts per section (both recycling and cardboard)

    The parts for the initial castle are elixir:
    100 elixir per wall
    750 elixir per tower
    1500 elixir per gate

    The recycling & cardboard wall/tower/gate don't even give any boost, just vanity. The balloon (prize) gives 2% bonus, the catapult gives 2.25% bonus


    It's funny, I was just thinking this morning that there doesn't appear to be many premium items with this update. That's a bummer that the other castle decorations are premium.

    Looks like I'll have a good Barbarian castle and rubbish Recycling and Cardboard castles. :(

    how many castle parts can we get by upgrading? same amount as the barbarian?

    Yeah I think it's 2 towers, 8 or 12 pieces of wall (can't remember) and 1 gate. I think you can earn more with higher upgrades (past level 10), but then you are spending 2k+ in elixir per upgrade. So if you are rolling in elixir, then go for it. I want to make a large castle with the initial set, so I wasn't planning to upgrade the castles unless prompted.

    It appears that the catapult and balloon are premiums also since they offer a bonus, and I think they unlock in the shop once you win the prize.
