here's a question say u spend 40 mil each on buying 3 minions that's 120 mil. does that get u more exp per cb$ then having 4 minions at the start and buying 120mil of ba over time

depends on your own strategy , I guess everyone knows by now XP concentration on a single minion could bring many benefits. If you buy minions at different stages as support minions, the effect could be better than buying from the start that cost nothing.

But of course, certain people just didn't think that much :P Until it's too late hehehe (like me )

i would ask horseguy what he spent on his ncb and you can use him as a benchmark of the top end. i would guess though that you would easily bypass your current mpr if you made an ncb and fought all of your ba even without buying any. if you could buy some or all of your ba you should be looking at that much more mpr when done.

doh, i see you already have an ncb going atm, so i think i misunderstood your question. if you are asking whether to buy early or later as far as adding minions, i think it depends on how much xp you want each minion to have. so basically do you want one minion with the majority of xp and others supporting with little xp or minions that are fairly equal in their xp levels. if i still am not answering your question, then sorry about that.

That's a very interesting question, I hope you find an answer to it!

that depends on how deep is your pocket. 120mil bow , 2 minion at start or 120mil for minions then another great amount for equipment.

I played around with some numbers a while back (note: NOT NCB numbers) and it worked out that buying BA was the cheapest way to buy XP (something below $2CB/XP)

If it is a straight up either/or decision of buying BA vs buying Minions you will get more XP in total buying BA (in theory.... I can't find my exact numbers.... )

AA has very deep pockets. From what I've seen, anyway ;)
