Rush Job & Productivity Day: Double Your Resources

• Instantly completes all current resource gathering marches

• Returns troops to city with full resource haul

• Available once daily via edicts menu

• Cannot be purchased with gems (unique limitation)

• Doubles gathering speed for all active gathering operations

• Works multiplicatively with gathering research and hero buffs

• Available via edicts or gem purchase (200 gems)

Step 1: Deploy Without Buffs

Send all gathering marches to maximum-level resource nodes WITHOUT activating Productivity Day. Let marches reach nodes and begin gathering.

Step 2: Activate Productivity Day

Once troops arrive at nodes and begin gathering, activate Productivity Day. This doubles their gathering rate going forward.

Step 3: Immediate Rush Job

Instantly activate Rush Job after Productivity Day. Troops return with doubled capacity—essentially getting two full loads in seconds. Repeat Step 1.

The Key Mechanic: Rush Job calculates final haul based on CURRENT gathering rate when activated, not the rate when march began.

Normal Sequence (Wrong): Activate Productivity Day → Send marches → Wait hours → Rush Job. Result: One doubled load.

Optimized Sequence (Correct): Send marches → Activate Productivity Day → Instant Rush Job → Send marches again → Natural gathering completes. Result: One doubled load PLUS one normal load from same Productivity Day.

Daily Gain Example:

Higher Level Impact: With 5+ marches, better research, and hero buffs, correct sequencing adds 80-100M+ resources monthly.

1. Timing Window: Activate sequence when you can immediately redeploy after Rush Job—morning or evening when actively playing.

2. Node Selection: Always target highest available level nodes. Plains L8-L9 or Fertile Land L9-L10 depending on TC level.

3. Hero Assignment: Use gathering-specialized heroes (boosted capacity/speed) for maximum yield.

4. Alliance Territory: Gather within alliance territory when possible for alliance gathering buff bonuses.

5. City Bonus Panel: Stack with gathering speed edict from City Bonus panel for triple-stacked acceleration.

Efficiency Rule: Never activate Rush Job before Productivity Day. The correct sequence—deploy, buff, instant complete—effectively gives you one extra Productivity Day cycle daily. This simple optimization adds 30-50M monthly resources at minimal effort.
