what to dump next

science chain I will be about 105 by the time its completed = buildings pulled down

fairy castle total waste of time = not built

fairy tale adventures way to costly on troops better off making bows to sell for those who do them rewards are better than adventures

premium days best bet seemed to be 180 days but with a 2 week troop rebuild time 180 days drops to 90 or less unless you spend more gems for rabbits and drill sgt and it seems the triple time d\sgt increases about the same as the double time == better off spending gems on something usfull

is it just me or is settlers becoming Farmville with soldiers

It's just you.

Maybe you're having Settlers fatigue. Have a break from the game for a couple of weeks.

SwampHen has a good advise, listen to him.

- science buildings I only have the bookbinder, since the others are a waste of licenses to me.
- fairy castle, I did build it and converted enough beans for my first tower, and stop there, so many resources wasted, so many troops lost, only to have 200gc/daily. nah!
- fairy adv really depends on your strategy, they do give a lot of gc income if you need them.
- premium I agree, its a waste of gems if you dont do adventures everyday, since for me the only good thing about it is the 50% loot
