So I can play Township. I'm level 104, have raced 16/135, and can prep extensively for a sadly extinct hopping. I'm also in desperate need of tcash (thanks to the Gumball game and BSA...). My question is, if I create a new co-op the Monday before RoC starts, will it still be entered into the RoC? I've heard that you can do that, and that for an experienced player, it's virtually a guarantee of 100 tcash...
Any thoughts or input on this?
And variation on the theme: if I start a new co-op, and then race one week, and then do the RoC, does anyone have any idea how much harder it might be?
All I know is I've got a long road to earn back the tcash the locusts have eaten, and I'm trying to take the path of least resistance when it comes to RoC.
I will say go ahead and try. You have a 50% chance of getting less compeitive opponents. And other than first prize. There is 2nd and 3rd prizes to be won too. There will bound to be a bunch of people who have the same thinking as you and are in high levels.
My tips: 1. Sleep at fix time 2. Delayed start (so you play lesser and used less resources) 3. Upgrade factories and islands. 4. Spread out use of boosters. It is a marathon of tasks.
Lastly, fingers crossed, hope you can win. Solo racing is always easier for ROC.
I plan on playing solo for RoC. I know the tasks are going to be ones I can do, I can pick and choose tasks without trying to coordinate via a chat that's not working. Coops with players at different levels risk having the higher level players stuck with tough tasks, especially since the game doesn't care if players are opted in or out, everybody gets counted.
I try to get as far ahead as possible in order to scare the competition. I'm not sure if a delayed start will help or not. Probably will because you're only up against 6 teams not 14.
And just like hopping, you have to make sure you have a home coop to go back to once RoC is over.
@Kami2020, after 12 hours. Anything longer is not possible for daily player of Township. I am hooked to the game. I need to touch my factories and feed my cows. Once you have started on any tasks, you will be grouped into competitions. And with tasks like trains, planes and feeding, it is really not easy to delay too long.
My wild imagination running (treat this as food for thoughts or just plain gibberish) :
Maybe, just maybe a steel league might be easier than a wooden leagues. No tons of people deciding on last minute to create a Co op and then dump the Co op after ROC.
Update: I've played RoC solo in Wooden a couple of times now. Delayed start til third day. Easily zipped into first place and stayed well ahead of other racers. Stopped doing tasks after a day or so. Easy 100 tcash, although a bit lonely. I don't always rush to buy factories when they first come available, so I got tasks I couldn't do. Game doesn't distinguish between whether you could build the factory or whether you actually have it. Not as rewarding or social as hopping, but a lot less stressful.

Doug Windows, level 70
Solo player, level 271; barn 5000. I started ROC right away. Got into 1st place and stayed there. I was 140 points ahead by day 2, now 300 points ahead with 12 hours to go. I have spent ZERO tcash, but did activate 4 boosters early on. I stopped doing mining (last chest is a joke; and house of luck (saving for regatta); not growing 114 rubber trees. So I have only 2 slots active, but could mine and clear house of luck if I needed to -- doubt I will need. I got a group of slackers -- just luck of the draw and luck of the Irish -- being Irish carries over even in the USA.
My baby town dropped out of their regular co op and created a new wooden league co op for RoC as well. Started on day three and played a lot that day and the next, but not much at all on Saturday and Sunday. The gifts along the way are a joke so when I timed out on one of them I wasn’t too worried about it. I got three of the four that I saw. Finished almost 400pts ahead of the second place team to get the 100tc. Miss the co op sharing of goods and the social aspect but it was a good way to pick up some extra tcash.
