Executive Status Review - Best Bang for the Buck? Thinking about using that nifty Executive Status bonus that was added recently? It can come in handy if its active during big buildups, ZHG campaigns, Project Torchlight, or PvP... even daily raids. But its not a feature for just anybody. That said, which one gives the best net return on investment? Lets take a look inside. Executive Status means you can boost many of your stats in one shot... from boosts to your base production, to additional OP/DP/RP of your army, to land speed, convoy capacity and even the quantity and completion time of your Special Ops bonus missions. You can earn Executive Points just like you do for the Bonus Diamonds you get for every 5 days of gameplay. As you gain Executive points, eventually you will unlock the next available tier, up to a max tier of 10. Tiers 1 through 6 offer decent bonuses and can be obtained quickly by free play or by simply purchasing the points directly. Tiers 7 through 9 offer a much larger reward and take progressively longer to accomplish while playing for free. Tier 10 offers a substantial reward in production bonuses, automatic completion times for Spec Ops missions and the largest convoy capacity possible. If you are going to purchase points, the heftiest offering returns the most points per 100 diamonds, at a rate of 7.5%. Remember: This feature is not for everyone, but if you plan on spending diamonds to boost your Executive status into the high tiers, it will cost you. This is by design because the reward you get will begin to pay for itself quickly, especially on longer duration activation. When activating, if you can swing 30 days it would be recommended. While the investment is steep, the return for a 30 day 10% passive boost for production can net you an additional up to 1 million resources per month. The convoy capacity can net you a max haul of 48,000... combine this with raids and you can net 132,000 raid points per hit, max. A passive 5% boost to both OP and DP will stretch the value of every unit you have available... and the additional spec ops missions, plus never having to wait for completion means a lot of extra loot to you on a daily basis, for an entire month. Theres not much else 2,500 diamonds will do in terms of complete return of investment + the unit combat stat boost is a deal maker. Again, this feature is not necessarily something a casual user will fly to Tier 10 on anytime soon, but for someone who is paying for premium content, there should be an advantage to activation and this is a massive ROI opportunity for those who do choose to pay. This edge is hard to ignore, especially on Tiers 7+.
