XXL Production "Trick"

[Clausewitz]

For those of you with XXL, please consider the following. DIGG discovered it a month ago, and it's worked like a charm ever since...

1. Set your schedule to 75 stoners, 46 spears, and 33 archers.
2. Watch the production. It will produce them simultaneously. It will not appear such, but if you watch the queue and your army numbers, it will prove true.

NOTE: Very few DIGGers with XXL for 4+ months have reported this does not work for them. Dozens others with more recently purchases of XXL have been utilizing it for weeks.

NOTE 2: This also works for Harbour production.

harbour production?

[SkulkrinBait]

Beehatch!

;D

Almost mis-read simultaneously as instantaneously, still pretty neat!

[Clausewitz]

Yes. I'm not sure of the number for the ship schedule, but essentially it works the same.

Schedule up 12 LWS, 10 SWS, 10 SMS, and 5 LMS, and it will produce them all simultaneously over the course of the day. (those numbers are not exact, I have only been using it for barracks production)

[kae]

I'd be curious to know what it is for ship production...

[Clausewitz]

Should be easy enough to figure out.

Just calculate the maximum number possible to produce in 24 hours, before the next server update, and have them set in the scheduler. They will produce simultaneously (assuming you don't have one of these glitch "old XXL" purchases).

EDIT: Just got the numbers on max harbour production per day from Jackrats (a great DIGGer). 11 LWS, 7 LMS, 23 SMS, 19 SWS.

wow, thanks for the tip. i'm glad you came.

[Warliter]

asking the stupid obvious question for do you have to have full resources etc ?

or is this a glitch that works anyways?

[Clausewitz]

Oh man, don't I wish.

There's a reason I run 25 feeders for my 4 mains, and it ain't because I enjoy sending dozens of transport shipments every day!

[ashimar]

Toink !

So instead of having 46 spears in cue with XXL every day and having ofcourse the resources for that, you can also get it to do those 46 spears AND SIMULTANEOUSLY the rest as long as you make sure you have the additially needed rosources for that as well.

Christ-on-a-bike !!!!

And I suppose the Germans have been using this too. Blasted Sven.

[Clausewitz]

Indeed. Aesir/Gauge is the only known DIGGer with XXL that this does not work for.

DIGG has done a fairly good job keeping it under it's hat, and given the fact that so many folks don't seem to be utilizing it.

DIGG spy reports indicate l3x-x has absolutely zero archers, leading to suspicions the Germans do not know about the trick, or are using a 24/7 fleetsaving script.

I wish I had the money to get XXL...but, this mexican is poor.

[eproxy]

I can't somehow think that this is leaving the rest of us at a distinct disadvantage.

[Clausewitz]

If you guys can wait until my next paycheck, I'll throw in $40 to get a couple of you XXL.

Not necessarily, as the trick works fine without building archers at all. Only building the stoners and spears works just as well.
