I have about 2600ish at the moment, you need to be on the game every two hours sending as many nerds out as possible to take full advantage of the game, there no time to rest in this event

But still, I don't even get anywhere near that amount. Is it better to attack with one nerd per house or? I always use 10 nerds on every building.
Yeah 1 per house is better, you get more people. More people = more revenge = more gold.
Oh I see. Thanks!
Tbh I'm still trying to wrk that system out myself, i am doing a couple of nerds per neighbour at the moment, and occasionally sending the full amount to see what the difference will be
Absolutely. Those red dice should ONLY be used on random castles. It's a waste to use them in any other fashion.

By the way, you can get a rough average of the amount of gold to get all the prizes by dividing 38,000 by the number of days. It's about 800 gold a day to just make it.
That shouldn't be tough to reach. My castle finished building about 24 hours ago, and I've already collected about 2400 gold since (without using any donuts). Though, that pace will slow a little when the task line is completed and we stop getting the regular bonuses for each step.
How exactly did you reach that amount? Where did all that gold come from?
I can't break it down exactly, but just from regular basic gameplay. I've been doing one nerd per building when I attack, and I've been sending my nerds out as soon as I get them. As I mentioned above, I've been splitting my nerds about 50/50 between regular neighbors and random towns. When I use them on a random town, I only use them on castles. On regular neighbors, I take castles if available, but if not I'll still attack a few houses instead.
Defending your town is a good source, as you get 10 gold for every successfully defended building. Keeping your castle(s) clear of shields invites more people to come back in and attack you, so I've been trying to do that as often as possible.
Also, just getting through the task lines in a timely manner helps as well. The bonus you get for completing each task is very helpful.
Also, whenever you get the red cheater dice, use them to instantly destroy random castles. You immediately get 140 elixir and 50 gold each time you do that, and I've had eight of them to use so far (they sometimes appear randomly when you defend a building in your own town, and you also get 5 of them for free when you reach a certain point in the task line).
And, as I noted in another thread, I had some luck while sleeping last night. I woke up this morning to 1700 elixir and 450 gold, so I must have had a slue of random castle attacks be successful.
Oh, one more tip, make sure you use all 5 allowed attacks on the Other Springfield every 24 hours, as those will always win.
Maybe after upgrading Homer? Can someone confirm?
But sending more than one nerd seems like a gamble.
A nerd is a terrible thing to waste. Sorry, had to get that out of my system.
They either spent a lot of money on donuts, or they got a lot of donuts in some other, less honest fashion that EA probably isn't fond of.
One thing is for sure, they've used a lot of donuts on the event.
