Ironically, if you need Medkits and a 512K/840K 13.5 Sniper, the 600 Gold for early unlock of the region is not a bad deal. Medkits worth 240 Gold, and 360 Gold for the equivalent of the number 2 Global Sniper is a bargain.
Weird but true: the number of Medkits that I have in my inventory is actually rising! I don't use many and I get free ones for watching videos and in the VIP. For once, I can say I don't really need Medkits. (That could change in a heartbeat.)
BTW I just did a head count and only 1/3 the leaderboarders on Google Android appear to be legitimate competitors. I mean really? 2/3 are suspicious ... if they want to clean up the game, all you would need to do is get rid of these serpents AND the others just like them.
I'm starting to hear the cries of Crusader Rabbit again ...
If they clean up Anroid, you may be playing by yourself.
I'll take it !!! We don't compete against each other anyways LMAO It would be nice to get on the leaderboard with the REAL DOGS ... not these chiquaquas pretending to be pit bulls.
You might reconsider not upgrading to Tier 14 maximum Base Economy. Here is why:
At Tier 9. Maximum production: 42K. Maximum PVP Win: 14.5K
At Tier 10: Maximum production: 68.8K. Maximum PVP Wing: 23.3
Average PVP Haul is just over 1/3rd of your diamond production. You have stated in other posts you are getting a maximum of 67K and average of about 64K per PVP Win. Based on my calculations you produce about 194K-200K diamaonds before transfer to the vault.
With the 1/3rd of production to maximum PVP, the Maximum Base Economy of Tier 14 will increase your PVP maximum. I estimate (though I only have a couple data points), is at Tier 14, maximum economy you will have about 280k production, and a maximum PVP wing of about 90K.
You would be able to confirm this theory if you upgrade to Tier 14, and then upgrade the first Rank of Base Economy. Tier 14 alone will not do anything, you need the first upgrade. That first upgrade should bring your PVP wing maximum to about 73k.
I could be wrong, but that appears to be the trend. If true, the minimal cost to upgrae base economy would repay itself quickly as you march towards your 400K drone.

Interesting observation except for one caveat ... we must fully upgrade the base to move on to the next TIER. So while it might save some diamonds in the short term, which he admittedly has no plans to upgrade right away, it's unavoidable over the long term.
That being said, we all have priorities when it comes to spending diamonds ... do I spend to upgrade that new TESLA or should I upgrade my BASE? Under normal circumstances the DRONE would be at the bottom of the list, but I think because he's so close, he's moved it to the top ... for the time being anyways.
None the less, this was a very astute observation and it has been placed in the SCORPION files for further analysis.
I thank you Sir !!!

FYI: Very few posts make it into the SCORPION files ... that says plenty ... I Welcome You !!!
I agree with you in principal. At earlier levels, it was part of my basic strategy. The current problem is that Diamond production has become a tiny part of total Diamond gained. For me it is under 5% now, if I upgrade my Base Economy I will get to 7.5% of the total Diamonds, but I can get much more by plowing my Gold into additional PVP contest which are 95% of my Diamond gain. Of course, you have to upgrade sooner or later, but in the current game it is much more cost effective to devote your resources to PVP play and those 70 K vaults.
Look at it this way, my current Diamond production is 21.3 K Diamonds per hour. That is the equivalent of 1/3 of one PVP. Even at the Tier 14 rate of 32 K per hour that is only 1/2 of one PVP per hour. Even playing only free Energy this would amount to only 14% of your total Diamonds. For the player who plays more frequently, the percentage would drop even further. Base Economy certainly should have a higher priority than other Base upgrades, so if you are upgrading your Base, do the Economy first. If you have other priorities, there is no reason to change them.
