Warrior General Games

I just started playing this game again for the first time in 5 years. I remember that it was always best to boost at the end of every season, I presume because this allows for maximum lvl gains. However, so far this season I have noticed that lvl 4's are getting the exact same amount of exp as lvl 1's. Is this just a low lvl thing? Is it best to just boost the lvl 1's into 4's right away instead of waiting until the end of the season? Sorry if this is an obvious question.

Boost day 48.

Thanks

Jack is correct... when you first create a dot (ideally somewhere between Day 40 and Day 48), you want to wait until Day 48 to boost.

As for the rest of your dot's career, boosting on Day 48 every season is certainly the simplest build strategy and will result in a reasonably-efficient build. HOWEVER... there are boosting strategies that involve boosting early some seasons in order to take advantage of XP-gain changes and maximize Veterain Point gains. Everyone has their own favorite strategy, so consult with your own local build guru for more information. (Under NO circumstances should I be considered a build guru.)

Someone I know whose input I trust gave us this boosting guide that is pretty dang good. Some will argue against certain aspects of it but it's a handy little thing to have even if you don't follow it to the letter.

XP
Level. . . . Game . . . . Daily
1-15 . . . . . 625 . . . . . . 50
16-31 . . . . 500 . . . . . . 50
32-40 . . . . 375 . . . . . . 50
41-52 . . . . 375 . . . . . . 25
53-68 . . . . 250 . . . . . . 25
69+ . . . . . . 125 . . . . . . 25


VXP
Level. . . . Daily VXP
25-29 . . . . . 150
30-34 . . . . . 250
35-39 . . . . . 300
40+ . . . . . . . 325

Player Progression
*With the exception of holding off on a boost until you can reach a specific training goal, here is how a player should typically develop.
** In the following progression, I am assuming that a player will either choose to boost late or early and make the same choice in following seasons.
Therefore, the XP and VXP values will be split in two for BE (Boosting Early) and BL (Boosting Late).


Season 0
Always boost on day 48 - 1.000 to 4.000
► No other option

Season 1
Always boost on day 32 - 15.600 to 18.600
► No other option => No XP loss since daily XP is the same and there is no game XP for playoffs

Season 2
Always boost on day 0 - 19.000 to 22.000
End up at Lvl 32.000 / VXP 7.800
► No other option => XP gains do not change again until level 32 and you can't reach level 32 in second season

Season 3
Boost Early (day 0) - End up at Lvl 42.625 / VXP 20.275
Playoff Boost (day 32) - End up at Lvl 42.800 / VXP 19.350
Boost Late (day 48) - End up at Lvl 43.000 / VXP 19.150
► Have to choose between XP and VXP => giving up 375 XP gets you 1.125 VXP

Season 4
Always boost on day 0
BE: Lvl 52.625 / VXP 33.275
BL: Lvl 53.000 / VXP 32.150
► No other option => XP gains do not change again until level 53 and you can't get over that level

Season 5
Do not boost until you reach level 53
BE (day 1): Lvl 60.750 / VXP 46.275
BL (day 0): Lvl 61.000 / VXP 45.150
► If you've been boosting early, you're actually boosting one day after the late boosters this season.
After level 53, XP gains do not change again until level 69

Season 6
Always boost on day 0
BE: Lvl 68.750 / VXP 59.275
BL: Lvl 69.000 / VXP 58.150
► No other option => XP gains do not change again until level 69 and you can't get over that level

Season 7
Do not boost until you reach level 69
BE (day 1): Lvl 73.075 / VXP 72.275
BL (day 0): Lvl 73.025 / VXP 71.150
► If you've been boosting early, you're actually boosting one day after the late boosters this season.
After level 69, XP gains do not change.

Season 8
Always boost on day 0
Final Points when BOOSTING EARLY: Lvl 79.075 / VXP 72.275
Final Points when sometimes BOOSTING LATE: Lvl 79.025 / VXP 71.475

Season 9+
Always boost on day 0

Since all dots hit level 79 as long as they don't miss boosts, boosting to get more or less XP only matters in the off season after your dot is 240 days old

then, it is best to use the VPB and also choose odd or even for game days and see which method gives you the most left over XP

before that, boost to maximize VP and boost when it supports your capping efforts based on ALG's and training rollovers
