How to do Diamond events better.

Diamond event is a series of little events or stages. Gathering, Upgrade, Monster Killing, Recruitment, Killing Event(KE). 
First four lasts 1 day each, and KE lasts 3 days. Each stage has 3 milestones, there is minor prizes for reaching them. Each stage has its own winners table with moderate prizes for the first 10 places and some for the first 100 places. There is also overall winners table as a sum for all stages with huge prizes for the first 10 places and pretty good for the first 100. No matter your zone rank these tips will help you to go higher in these tables, and get better prizes.

Gathering. This means gathering resources on tiles, which means on the map, not at your castle. First of all you need to figure out what to gather: gold or no-gold? For that you have to measure your gathering speed. You can do it before event starts. Send one army to gather gold, another army to gather some other resource(ammo). Beast type, troops types and count does not matter. Press on the gathering troops, then “info”, you will see gathering speed.

Some math here to convert this gathering speed in points receiving speed. We receive 2 points for 1 gold, and 1 point for 50 no-gold resource. Here on the screen my speed is 700+1547= 2247 gold per hour = 4500 points per hour. That’s pretty good speed because I have good science and commander boosters for gold gathering speed, therefore my point receiving speed is better for gold. Most of the players don’t have such huge boosters. If you are new player you will most certainly will find out that your no-gold speed is better.
The other trick here called false start. The points calculated at the moment when troops are calling back to base. You need to send troops on gathering few hours before event starts, so that the gathering timer will be few minutes after event start time. When event starts call them back – all gathered resources will recount as your points at this moment. Then continue to gather more. Don’t forget to return your troops at the end of the official gathering 24-hours day.
Also. You can use gold gathering boost items. You can take VIP status for this day if your VIP level gives you additional march. More marches - more gathering.

Upgrade. Points given for increase in battle power and economic power when you upgrade buildings or technology in science lab. Save your speedups, diamonds and gold that you wish to use for upgrades up to this event and use it all now! False start trick is also in use here. Try to start some major upgrades right in time, so you could finish them right on the second day of the Diamond event.

Monster killing. Save 100% of the stamina to the start of this day. Kill only top tier monsters you can kill. Use all your stamina and additional stamina packs(green bottles). Use power boosts to kill higher level monsters.

Recruitment. Once again false start works! You can do better false start using recruiting capacity booster item. Start new batch recruitment few hours before, so it will finish right aftew this event will start. Recruit only higher level troops. Save recruitment speedups and use them on this day. You can use some diamonds too. More troops are always good.

Killing Event. Well… you have to kill enemy troops.
I will put a link to the PVP post here, later, when I will write it.
Shortly: the best ways is to rally enemy bases and kill enemy troops on tiles. Use random teleports and advanced teleports to come closer to the enemy. Don’t forget to save one advance teleport for coming back if you going for a hunt. Use boosters! Especially the most important one, I told you about at the end of “this” post. Spike is a special beast for tiles hitting. Punisher is for your own base defense(sometimes raged enemy attack your base after you hit their tiles). Breacher is universal beast. DON’t attack enemy bases too much. Most of the players losing more power during killing event, then the rewards they get. More than that, you can come across some smart player(like me) who has alarms ON, and who will fast return his troops on base from far tiles so... you will be ended. I do not advice any attacks on the enemy base until you exceed in power for at least 10 times,  otherwise this will be Pyrrhic victory.
