Doctus Diaries #3

Fresh from Doctus, a couple of update regarding the Wonders and rewards:

This is Alliance reward for level 9 wonder capture. By description it is unclear - it will be given each time when Alliance capture lvl 9 wonder or once per wonder. If it will be given each time, it means that two friendly alliances can swap wonder each day. (edited)

We also found out that some GREAT rewards will be given to everyone for participation in Lost Island Season #2

This Alliance reward will receive each member for participation in Lost Island S2.

BREAKING NEWS
Season Ant Healing Clarified

The question on every Ruler’s mind is how exactly the healing for Season Ants has changed for Lost Island Season 2.
During Lost Island Season 1, Season Ants could only be healed by using resources. Many Ruler’s were somewhat unprepared for the massive amounts of resources needed for not only healing, but for Building Enhancements. This caused more than one “bottleneck” for many Rulers.

We were told that Season Ant healing for Lost Island, Season 2 would require Revival Fungi - a significant change from last Season. The question everyone is asking, though, is does Season Ant healing use ONLY Revival Fungi or does healing require Revival Fungi AND resources; if so, what is the ratio?

Rulers, I have the answer for you:

The healing ratio of one SXI ant. It takes resources and revival fungi as well. Ratio is in screenshot:

s2healing1

So, the answer is that we will need BOTH resources AND Revival Fungi to heal Season Ants! Stock up and get ready, Rulers!

STAMINA

Hello Rulers!
I have been getting a lot of feedback lately regarding the issue of “Stamina” on Lost Island,-Season 2.
The change that was made that requires Stamina for towers had run into a roadblock when it comes to other events, like the MudSkipper.
Like the old days when fighting the GroundHog took 30 Stamina, this same situation has been implemented for Lost Island - Season 2.
The most numerous response in regards to the Mudskipper event has been:

Care to share your thoughts? I would love to hear from the Community.

Resource Preparation for LI

As we learned from LI-S1, resources were the bottleneck for pretty much everything.
Although Revival Fungi has been introduced for Season Ant healing, we still have to use resources, albeit less than last season, to heal.
In order to maximize the resource output of your Hill, below is a list of Ants that increase resource output. If you don’t have these leveled yet, go ahead and level their skills because they will help you to stockpile resources for Lost Island!

Ants that modify resource output:

  • Strober
  • up to 2500/h meat for each woodlouse
  • bonus up to 200% for feeder effect
  • meat output up to +300% for 2h with 8h cooldown
  • every 22h instantly up to 1m-3m of meat
  • Red Foot
  • up to 2500/h plant for each plant flora
  • bonus up to 200% for plant cutting
  • plant output up to +300% for 2h with 8h cooldown
  • every 22h instantly up to 1m-3m of plant
  • Green head
  • up to 2500/h for each soil pile
  • bonus up to 150% for soil softening effect
  • soil output up to +300% for 2h with 8h cooldown
  • every 22h instantly up to 1m-3m of soil
  • Yellow spider
  • up to 2000/h for each sand pile
  • bonus up to 150% for Boulder effect
  • sand output up to +250% for 2h with 8h cooldown
  • every 22h instantly up to 500k-2.5m of sand

Game Update 08/29/22

The update on 8/29/2022 introduced several long-awaited features as well as new content.

I will discuss the “March Troop Preset” here today.

We now have March Troop presets! Yes!
This gives us the ability to save up to four (4) March Troop “presets.”

Click on the number (1-4) to make the different March Troops.

This is SO helpful!
I have my normal, everyday March, my Gathering March, and now a March for the Pangolin and a March for the Groundhog.

Never again will I join a rally with the wrong troops! LOL Yes, we’ve all done it but those times are behind us!

Have a look at the screenshots below and I welcome any feedback from the Community.

Server Convocation is OPEN!

Lost Island - Update 1

We finally made it to Lost Island! Many Rulers from various servers joined and brought a great deal of power, experience, and motivation with them.

Things are good, so far, and we all see that the most important resource for the Island is NOT a resource that we can “stock up” on - that would be STAMINA!

Stamina management is by far the most important thing we all are learning to deal with.
Attacks on Colony Nodes takes 5 stamina. Attacks on Towers takes 5 stamina. Attacks on
Wild Creatures still takes 10 stamina and now we have MudSkippers (which give buffs to the Alliance and which increase with the number of Mudskippers killed. Throw in the Gecko and/or Lizard which takes 30 Stamina, along with Gathering which still takes 10 Stamina, and you come up with a recipe of “how in the world can I get all of this done”?!?

We are all trying various things to manage the Stamina requirement though in the end, the majority feels that the Stamina requirements should be lowered.

We just passed “Milestone: Fortress” and are now able to upgrade our Colony Nodes to Level 6 and are working towards another Milestone today after reset.

All-in-all, this Lost Island Season #2 looks to be a better experience than Season 1.

Stay tuned for the latest!

Level 19 Hornets?

Guess what we just saw? Level 19 Hornets! YES! These Hornets are a higher level than last Season’s Lost Island. These Level 19 Hornets take a recommended 5.5 Million Power to kill, much more than the Level 18 Hornets, but the reward difference really isn’t all that great between the two.

We have found that killing two (2) level 18 Hornets results in a greater win overall due to the fact that killing two (2) level 19 Hornets results in damaged Soldier Ants that need to be healed. Subtract the healing cost from the Level 19 Hornets and the net-gain is much, much less, making these not really worth-while.

Opponent Update

It’s been VIR vs DMC/IMT/KOA for the most part. IMT has been pushing hard but VIR has been pushing back. The last few days has been “give and take” with territory flip-flopping ownership. Plans are in the works, though, and strategies are have been laid out.

Stay tuned for more!

Wonder Occupation - Update 1

This Island is going much, much faster than last Season.
We have found that the Wonders have decreased in difficulty by several orders of magnitude and see no reason not to be able to achieve every single achievement before the Island ends.

Update 2

Things are at a standstill right now. Betrayals have come to light and secrets revealed. Those in positions of authority have all paused to regroup, reevaluate, and re-strategize.

Leaving the Island

Well, there is so much to report I don’t know where to start. Rather than get into any negativity on the Forums, let me instead say that two of our opponents have quit the island, TAI and MLP. From what I understand, they quit because they realize that there is no way to win the Tree so they left Lost Island and are immediately signing up to return.
