I'm really missing the Reconstruction mode for this settlement.
Well, that’s part of the challenge. It makes is much more difficult to build the things you want.
It seems a bit simplistic. Achieving the 21d limit appears mostly to be governed by how frequently you're able to check in - there's not really room for different strategies it seems.
Well, that’s part of the challenge. Is there really no room for different strategies? Do you build expansions first? How many? Or do you start with a high axe production on small space? Do you first collect a lot of coins and then destroy their buildings to build goods production? Do you try to keep all buildings you have build or do you destroy goods buildings often and replace them with other ones to create other goods? How do the stones in the city influence your strategy? Do you try to buy only expansions without stones or do you try to build expansions in a rectangle shape whithout considering stones? Do you only use 4h goods production since it is cheaper although you then have to skip one production at night?
So HOW many shacks do you expect us to have in the city to sustain the production of an Axe smith? And how should this be possible without buying all four diamond expansions?
Well, that’s part of the challenge. You have to figure out the best strategy for yourself. Since everyone has a different layout of stones, there is no such thing as the “best” strategy. Especially since everybody has different times where they can come online.
But shrines need population as well... I have 3 of them, I can also afford two axesmiths, but I cannot afford to put them in 8h cycle.
Well, that’s part of the challenge. Is it smart in this case to build another axesmith? Or maybe it is better to first produce more copper with two additional shrines and then destroy these shrines to build another axesmith as soon as you have enough copper?
Goods production needs some balance. I dont really understand why longer productions use more coins per axe.
Also % chance for 4x production should depend on production length - that would justify higher coins expense, ie:
4h = 5 axes with 3% chance for 20
8h = 10 axes with 1 - (1-0.03)*(1-0.03) = 5.91% chance
24h = 20 axes with 1 - (1-0.03)^4 = 11.47% chance
Well, that’s part of the challenge. You have to decide whether it is worth to only use the 4h production, especially over night, or if it is better to use the 8h production in that case.
I will leave feedback once I start with the Viking Settlement.
Let's see how the game plays !
This is Krann. Krann sees a new FoE feature. Krann decides to test it first and give feedback later. Krann is smart. Be like Krann.
