Building Upgrades & Cost Reduction Discussion!

[celest raptor]

The devs reduced upgrade costs for buildings in this update.

Do you think the cost reduction changes make it easier for smaller Alliances to progress, or do bigger groups still have the advantage?

i think it's a good change overall even tho it sucks a bit for people who did it the hard way.

hopefully they'll adjust the gold drop rate for multi player alliances in some way tho, like making the bonus to be +5 per day per player in the alliance instead of a flat +5 per day - that would give more incentive to max out alliance members

As the big alliances already are close if not already maxed up, this in the long run benefits the small ones the most i think.

It makes progress easier and by far, although there was no reduction in the special fever materials, we would have liked the amount of TNT detonators to be reduced as well.

These changes really benefit solo alliance players, but gold income has been reduced in the big alliances.

This will result in less fighting for gold and more passive mining.

No it does not until gold rush rss requirements remain unchanged. Eg i need 120 blasting machines to up mine to lvl2. Last time Ive got 6!!!!!!! of them from gold rush, average is 6-8. To get into that league you have to win in 5 gold rushes, means no less than 5 weeks. Then you need to spend 15 more weeks to get 120 blasting machines. So you need 5 month just to get a lvl2 mine. Now i need 110 more for sluice and carts.

Mine lvl3 requires 280 of these machines, you got to be kidding me. Thats a full year of raiding daily. Does it seem to be easier? No.

Much Easier to make, not much easier to upgrade. Also less incentive to upgrade bcs of lower income on higher lvl alliance mines

[celest raptor]

Yeah, you’re right. For smaller clans, it could take months if they remain in lower leagues. However, if they recruit or hire higher-tier players for raids and defense, they have a good chance of reaching Gold 3 and securing a top 5 spot for clan resources.

But in the end, it all comes down to the leader and their members.

[velvet frost]

I think the +5 income per member should be in the base production instead of sluice buff. To not make sluice way more powerful than the main mine

[pulsar sedge]

yeah I'm also fine with that

[worthy creek]

Im literally in silver1, its one league from gold3. All the calculations i did were for this exact league. So in gold3 you can upgrade the mine into lvl2 in, lets say, 17 weeks instead of 20. Thats still ridiculous, bc lvl3 mine will take a year. How long will it take to get a lvl4 mine?
