Alcatraz

Every gvg player's goal is to build Alcatraz. This is a very far goal for many players. Even if you collected already all required blueprints it still lasts long until you produced all these goods.

If you see Alcatraz at players in the late middle ages, then they have used diamonds a lot or his guild helped him at least with goods. And I do not mean fair trade. As the required number of goods is not achievable for players in early ages.

This is how the normal path of a player should look like: You first build the Statue of Zeus, the Cathedral of Aachen and the Castel del Monte. You then develop all of them close to level 10. Pushing these great buildings via mutual supporting chains of your guild leads to the result that you will not hurry through the ages. Such development breaks make gameplay much more comfortable. Suddenly you always have enough coins or supplies. The longest development break you should take when you reach the progressive era. By advancing to that era your special buildings finally produce the goods required. Also you can trade industrial age goods 2:1. In most cases that works pretty good: As soon as you have the required goods your existing three legendary building with fighting bonus have level nine or above. Now you advanced to the league of those being well equipped for gvg.

Great buildings with fighting bonus should only be advanced to level 10. But with Alcatraz tis level is when the fun begins. With each additional level you get one more unit every day.

Alcatraz produces those units you can produce in your city through military buildings. During peaceful phases it can be a good strategy to remove all military buildings and leave rogue hideouts only. In this case Alcatraz produces rogues only. Already on level 1 these are 120 rogues per month. A player with that army is powerful in all eras needing his support. Without doubt the agent is the most powerful unit in gvg. To use these simply build two military buildings for heavy units and artillery each in the required age and your guild has a great support in that era.

The ages after progressive era do not allow to pass them as a rocket. Again and again you have to pause your development as the required goods are missing. This is the moment you level your Alcatraz with open end.
