Thanks for the replies.

I think Sookie Lala's idea may work the best for us. Our build tick is on Tuesday. Maybe it's not too late this week to adjust our upkeep targets to cover stronghold upkeep.

Hopefully this will help us get past the final exam lull.

Edit: I thought of another question.

Since we didn't get our upkeep the last build and the state of the citadel is dilapidated currently, what happens if we only get the upkeep for the stronghold? Does the bbq drop down to Tier 6, but we get the three avatars back?

I cant really remember but i think the plot may stay at tier 7 and drop to tier 6 the week after if you don't meet upkeep, then it will drop a tier each week you don't meet upkeep. I seem to recall a weeks grace but I am not completely certain it is so. It may well drop a tier.

You will get your avatars back if you get upkeep for the stronghold this week though. Good luck.

Edit: Oh, another thing, you can move the plots around on the upkeep page. I moved the battlefield to last place and because I made sure I capped at the end of the week, (usually the last person to) I was often able to juggle minions and things around to ensure I saved as many plots as possible. I also moved plots around to make them last so that one didn't lose too many tiers, except for the battlefield, I kept that last as no one uses it so the loss of tiers did not matter.

Moving the minions down the plots helps a lot.

@ Sookie I tried to change the plot order earlier this week, hoping it might work like the build order. The battlefield is a total waste of resources and I wanted it to be at the bottom. It all seemed to be locked in place at that time, but I'll give it another go. Hopefully it will work this time. I'm using NXT. I wonder if not being able to change the order is a glitch.

As of late yesterday, we didn't have stronghold upkeep but there's still some time before our tick. I'm honestly to the point of exhaustion asking members to cap. If we can't even manage to gather resources to upkeep the stronghold, it's tempting to just forget citadels exist (like the majority in my clan seem to have already done. ) There comes a time it's simply not worth the stress.

Boo to upkeep and visitor count. Hooray for content in the game that's fun and relaxing!

so there is a way to save your citadel...by losing it.

you could lock everyone out of the citadel. as long as no one enters the citadel the new build tick will not start. if the new build tick doesn't start then you can't go down tiers.

unfortunately this means you also can't use your citadel.


Don't believe this works, I saw a thread a while ago about this, when they reopened it the citadel wasn't the tier they closed it at.


Can confirm, if the citadel is locked, it will lose its tiers/progress.


I can also confirm this.

Here's the update... Taking advice from several leaders who graciously replied on this thread, I was able to change the order of the plots and moved the battlefield to the bottom of the list. After setting the resource targets for stronghold upkeep, we focused on it first. We did a bit of "reminding" members to please cap in the cc and recruited four new members.

The sweetest, kindest thing happened. We had an angel offer to help us gather resources this week! That is one of the nicest things that's happened in the game recently. <3

The result is we not only gathered enough resources for our stronghold but managed to reach upkeep for everything! Thanks again for all the replies and suggestions. I've gotten to where I really dislike "reminding/nagging" clannies about capping. You all helped me get past being discouraged a few days ago.

I appreciate the CLF leaders. Thanks!!!

This past week was a very busy one for me at work. I was able to play some a few days before our tick and thought everything was fine at the citadel. The next time I logged in after our build tick, I discovered it was dilapidated again.

I'm providing this update to express how incredibly frustrated I am. I support Try Hard's post about the need for new citadel capping incentives. Sadly, whatever does or doesn't happen in this regard, it will probably be too late for my clan and its citadel.
