Feedback Castle System Additional Levels

Yekk

Juber... really??

It cost approximately $2000 US to get the first 15 levels... You are reverting to 2021 again, the year everything was pure fail...

The correct fix was to give an expansion at level 8, level 12, level 16, and 2 at level 20. That does not break the pay to play, balancing, or give to much to those that pay less.

What else could give CP, when considering daily activity:
- Cultural Outpost quests
- Cultural Outpost chest rewards - the earlier the settlement is finished, the more CP
- maybe even every goods harvest in the Cultural Outpost - not sure if that could be exploited by someone building a huge settlement for producing goods though - surely depends on the amount of CP you would get for that
- Aiding (maybe not quite suitable should the aid all be added - or especially suitable should the aid all require diamonds)
- Tavern sitting
- using the collect all button
 
If the delta between levels remains the same, then approximately 5MM castle points will be required to reach level 20. At +/- 800 per day this translates to about 17 years. More changes are coming.

If the castle system was intended to reward daily activity, castle points could be given for collecting incidents - the closer the expiry date of the incident the fewer CP you get ;D
But the castle system is intended to encourage donations. Devs just haven't come up with a decent carrot yet. 3 expansions? unlikely. Maybe portraits.

The devs are nuts, first they intruduced this ridiculous "Forge+" and now new levels to a system close to nobody will ever reach it's end even before the new levels. Most of us (only the really dedicated ones) will most likely play the game around 5 years and then stop, due to lack on long time motivation. The new levels with these ridiculous prizes don't make a difference.

I would suggest that the devs stop wasting their time by developing more parts that are clearly cheap tries on money grabbing and start developing something really benefiting, even for long time player.

I think Expansions are more inviting to a larger number of Players than just portraits. Even people wanting more Portraits get space problems and would like additional expansions. This is the first time that expansions are added as Rewards from a game feature other than the initial setup of sources: Continent Map, Research Tree or Diamonds Rewards released with each era.

Although I agree that takes a huge time to reach end of levels at Castle System, some balancing is needed:
  • Adjust Castle Points (CPs) required by level?
  • Modify CP rewarded for Battles/ Negotiations Auction Dealer's purchases?
  • Add CP for other daily actions?
    • X CPs for each Aid up to Y Aids per day?
    • X CPs for YYY or more Goods donated to Treasury in one shot, not counting donations from collection from GBs (Arc, Observatory, Attomium) or Special / Event Buildings (Olympic Treasury, Statue of Honor, etc.)
  • A future new GB reward that gives a X% chance to get Y CPs for the first Z actions completed in a day? Action = Polishing? Motivations? Taverns Visited? Battle Victories?
Time to finish a Castle System Level still need to be long, but not huge long as it is now.

This is not available to players who do not donate. And this do not give an advantage worth 10k euro:)

There's plenty of carrot there for new cities. If anything I'm annoyed there's too much carrot :p Level 15 castles were already plenty! And at least eventually all players would catch up. These most recent 5 levels you're not touching ever without mucho $$$. And on the newer worlds the whales will gobble them up immediately.

Carrots need upgrading from time to time, like Event Buildings. Older carrots seems rotten now.:)

you are missing the point folks..

Right now whoever is in SAV and unlocked all possible expansions, only 3 are left to be done. So, here they are in the castle. Which means new eras are coming without expansions, nor there will be city resize to fit more expansions. practially end of space for the game :)

That cannot be. How would they want us to stop spending diamonds on expansions?
