    Is Caravan spamming degenerate?

    Nah, not making PvE caravan identical to PvP caravans, but instead adding Royal Garden style cost increase to caravans, limiting their numbers, making subsequent caravans take longer to train, but keeping the overall gold production you currently have now. Less, but far more impactful caravans...

    Is Caravan spamming degenerate?

    Nannus is only strong because he lets you get out as many caravans as possible in the shortest time frame possible. If you nerf Nanus, Zeno becomes the new A2 advisor. Nerf Zeno, and we go back to Dumno. Nerf Dumno, and it's Village Elder instead. Thus, again, the issue isn't with Nannus, but...

    Is Caravan spamming degenerate?

    The issue is that there is a very, very limited number of gold mines on any map. And a while back, a player tracked how much gold he had used over several VoKs. On average, each VoK? roughly 900k gold each run - Essentally 300 Gold Mines. Now VoK is one of the hardest quests, and thats with a...

    Is Caravan spamming degenerate?

    Increasing the purchasing cost probably isn't the best way to go about it. Keep in mind that Stone is a very, very finite resource - There is generally only enough stone available for most players for 10 forts or 30 guard towers. Wood too is finite, just generally less finite then Stone. This is...

    Is Caravan spamming degenerate?

    The issue here would essentially be design of currently existing quests. You would have significantly less resources overall (Reducing Caravans below that of Villagers is a 50% reduction in their gold design), meaning slower tech/age up, less military, more pop needs to be dedicated to resource...

    Is Caravan spamming degenerate?

    It’s an undisputable fact in PvE that Caravans are immensely powerful. While the exact details aren’t known to many players on just how much stronger Caravans are in comparision to Villagers, their rough gold generation - Solo, mind you - is between 2.1-2.5 gold per second on average in most PvE...

    Indian Dev Blog #6: Market, Caravan, Palintonon, Guard Towers, Walls, Capital City Decorations

    Not sure what you mean by "deserve". Even before Rome, more civs had palins then did not. And having a Palin vs having a Thrower is a major balance decision in both PvE and PvP.

    Indian Dev Blog #6: Market, Caravan, Palintonon, Guard Towers, Walls, Capital City Decorations

    I would like to say that I am disappointed in that we will not have a Elephant Thrower which is 4 elephants that throw other elephants at the enemy for the meme values.

    Indian Dev Blog #6: Market, Caravan, Palintonon, Guard Towers, Walls, Capital City Decorations

    It varies depending on the civ - Actual carrot is only for the Greek Donkey civ. Celt boar's use a bowl of slop, Romans use a red target (quite funny), ect ect. I like how the Caravans are each unique and iconic to each civ. Now with that said - Towers and Walls. If I recall in the Roman blog...

    Please can someone clarify a few things for me.

    For Milestones, each civ has 5 Milestone slots with 2 possible options (Not all the options are equal mind you) that, once picked, permanently benefits that civ. You can select one of these milestones on your other civ to benefit from it for as long as it's selected. So using Egypt as an...

    Bahram's Lottery draw-system change plz

    ByFstugan, while you do have to put in the work, that you can even afford to dump 1.5 mil puts you solidly in the top 100, if not even the top 50. Hell, what was it, I think that only 20-something players have been putting 1.5 mil on a weekly basis, I'd have to look that up. But even though...

    Bahram's Lottery draw-system change plz

    Have you been able to put in 1.5 mil each week for the Bahrams tokens? If not, have you ever failed to put in less then 500k coins?

    Bahram's Lottery draw-system change plz

    Top players are still making buckets of coins, coin is exiting the lower tier playerbase at a higher rate then the top according to the last post I could find from Andy on the topic - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/234105032381825024/861964322355150858/unknown.png This makes sense, as...

    How should we understand the "Walls of the Piercing Frost"?

    The formula for what Ignore Armor does is New Armor = Old Armor * (1-Ignore Armor Value). Ignore Armor from multiple sources stacks additively rather then multiplicatively - Thus with what's currently the max Wall number, you can get up to 30% ignore armor. TBH using Kronos in comparision...

    Celtic Gold Mine rework

    So the Celtic Mines are basically supposed to be the A3 gold mining tech for Celts - Celts are the only civ with only 1 gold mining tech (Compared to Babylon, who only have 1 tier stone and 1 tier farm, but have gardens, ox carts, and special A4 tech to make up for that). Celts gather gold in a...

    Winter Event 2021 Details!

    I would like to suggest an alternative. During the winter event, the mammoth's crafting cost could simply be a set few shards, with no epic material cost. Outside of the winter event, the crafting cost could be adjusted to a much higher epic material cost, with no winter shard cost. Thus...

    Winter Event 2021 Details!

    Yes, but there is currently so much to do with shards right now, and it's not like you can earn shards outside of the event. 5 shards is also pretty prohibitive for a consumable, especially a consumable thats only somewhat more powerful then a single fully geared War Elephant.

    Easiest leg ques

    Allright, so the name of the game you are looking for is Booming - You want to power up your economy as soon as you possibly can so that you have the resources to get fully upgraded, 10-30 production buildings, AND 200/200 pop by the 10 minute mark. And the key to this booming strat is Caravans...

    Easiest leg ques

    Sais was made a bit harder then previously due to both replacing several non-elite "guard" mobs with elite variants, and Egyptian AI overall was made harder due to a buff to Elephant Archers which prevent you from "kiting" them as easily as before. The key to Sais is quickness - You need to be...
