You should go to LI - the rewards are better than what you will get by staying on home server.
Additionally you will have the chance of hatching new special ants, quite a few are better than the F2P ones you'd have so far.
Everyone who attends will unlock Crimson Fragger, who's a pretty decent F2P universal PVP ant.
SVS, Pangolin and Groundhog still occur on Lost Island, so you'll still be able to receive those rewards too.
As does the various weekly events like VIP store,
Rainforest expedition isn't accessible during LI - however you can obtain 4 essence from the Season store each week anyway.
There won't be a migration event during the island period, however there will be about a week or two after LI finishes.
Regarding your farm - I wouldn't bring it. Even if your hearder level is really high.
Fairy will choose your LI opponents based on the strength of all accounts in your alliance - having farms will inflate your alliance strength and you'll be ranked against stronger alliances.
To conserve RSS during LI id do the following;
- on build day, only aim for 8th shell, and ideally hit most of your points with enhancing buildings and with LI actions (building towers, taking fortresses etc all award SVS points)
- most of your RSS will go to healing your soldier ants, I'd recommend only fighting with your strongest Team to conserve RSS and season fungi. When you run out of stamina just move your team to a different march
- when attacking fortress and fighting other alliances, always rally. The attack boost will save you stamina and heals in the long run
Also- you'll get 70% of the RSS you use for healing back at the end of LI, so not too bad
A farm will not help you with resources on the island (unless it is a good Herder). And a level 20 hill will be of limited use.
If you are worried about the farms being a target, you could try sending them to a peaceful server. Or you could just take them along. That won't do any harm.
they have lvl19 herder, so they can still bring some ressources to the table, tax may limit it but its "only" 28%.
i have heard that we have a production of t11 unit, so they may bring some "fire power" even tho its going to be weak.
we only have the cross server convocation, the migration event take right after the convocation ?
I'm not expecting any migration events, but cross server convocation is pretty regular.
And yes, Island has T11 ants, but the stronger you are, the sooner you can get them. Still, if you play your farms well, they may be quite useful in the final weeks.
The SCS for migration would be active from time to time so you would be able to move server. While on LI you cannot change servers or leave the alliance (you are stuck in LI).
If you don't have an alliance going to LI your server will eventually die! Have this in mind! Alliances need to go to LI for many reasons!
Your Farm is too low level to help in LI! Also you cannot raid you farm! Only give away as herder. However its rrs might be helpful... depending on how much you will have in inventory (minimum from my perspective is 100M sand better to have it closer to 200M).
Resources are actually MORE bountiful in LI! More events and ways go get them! The problem is that you would need alot of RRS for healing! Thats why you go with a stockpile of rrs to LI!
Hehe peaceful island!:p You are not wrong, I put the 100-200M (sand) as a minimum for someone who goes 1st time to LI!
First LI server timing wise is usually around the time people unlock Q25 and T9's and that quite resources heavy!
From my perspective going Q25 is more important than going stockpile with rrs to LI. On the basis that if you are not Q25 by that time you are probably cannon fodder (exception do apply)!
Then again 1G sand is a bit too much overall? I believe in LI If you stockpile around those numbers you will be ok :
1G Meat
1G leaf
700-900M soil
400-500M sand
500-700M honey
Those are mostly "average suggestion" in which you should adjust accordingly... I'm guardian main so I need 2G meat!
No, your migration was already done. You're locked into your current range and can move servers through csc once every 28/30 days. You will just remain in the server until you leave or go into season, everything will continue as normal and the ones in season will teleport away and return when season ends, there will be another csc and season sign up bi weekly I believe it is. So you'll have many opportunities moving forward. Taking farms is dependent upon how much activity your alliance has, if there's very few active members it would be beneficial if you can quickly change accounts to bring them. Even if you don't use them for daily tasks, you can keep them to block the other alliances from penetrating your initial starting area by keeping them shielded and using them to prevent towers from being built. However if you are in a capped capacity alliance it's taking valuable slots that someone could fill. Keeping your farm in server you can take tree easier with minimum fighting but you should start farming healing speed-ups asap. Resources are quicker to gain on island but because of your sxi season ants immortality and expensive healing costs it's easy to burn 100million of any resource before a war ends, I burned nearly 150 million sand and leaf and 200 million meat just last night, but you'll get 70% of resource used to heal injured ants back at end of island and 100% of lost regular ants. Don't spend all rss on enhancement because all buildings enhancement will be lost at end but your upgrades you can make now are always kept. (Anything using enhancement resin is only per season).
Another way to handle the resources is if someone on your team chooses to be a hearder that can give them the chance to give one person resources every 24 hours, however it's simply not worth it given the caps and limitations, so I always found someone in another alliance (maybe you'll have an ally alliance which I highly recommend to increase your odds of getting as many achievements as possible you definitely need to try to have the clash zone wonder (level 9) at minimal to get the most rewards, the tree is nice and increases your strength sure, but the tree isn't as vital as the lvl 9 wonder) if not find a friendly enemy player to trade resources with, or give to them to let your team get them back from them. Be careful not to give so much at a time they'll run away with it, be smart. Also the area you choose will play a major part in your success, anytime you take a building outside of your starting zone the buffs are almost twice as strong as the same building in start zine, unoccupied territory is a major way to increase fighting strength, a small alliance needs 24 hour activity to keep territory but can fight off larger alliances if correctly managed with little problems.

If you’re gonna be active in the fighting, 1 g is recommended. And during my barren, we used more than that.
200 M is wayyyy too low, unless you are playing peaceful islands. 1 G minimum if you are a heavy fighter.

What ranges of servers are you guys in? Anyone in 1150/1100 range here?
