Thanks, very useful info. Something to maybe start working on in November, then.I don't have Golden Dice either, I buy it for 4 greenies every time I need to activate it. The only other source for GD is to be member of a top 10 alliance in the weekly ranking - I'm not
Dice - it's another story. I have a lot of it from being ranked 11th-50th in the alliance rankings, you may collect it as well from flights and/or visiting some friend's buildings. Anyway, you need something like 1:5 Dice : Golden Dice so the additional price if you decide to purchase Dice as well is really small (say 20 greenies for 5 GDs vs 23 greenies for 5 GDs + 1 Dice).
EDIT: And anyway you should collect enough fuel for flights with instant return, 8 weeks x 3 greenies weekly (Weekend offer) will be enough to buy 5 GDs + 1 Dice.
I think the fuel could be an issue, but I can only store what I can store. Hopefully, I'll get some more 50 and 150 by then.
Looks as though I'll probably need to buy the Dice, but that's OK. But, one thing at a time, I've got to buy all those maps from Wulfy first.
