Good evening,
I think that in the "Shah Jahan" Historical Questline there are some "fake" alternatives: quest 10 and quest 12, because it's impossible "to gain control over a province" or "to acquire 2 sectors with or without fighting" before you have NOT explore one or two provinces. In this mode, the alternative is not an valid alternative. It's the same mechanism but dressed in other colors. Why two or one? If you have a explored province with only one sector to conquest it you'll need explore one province more before conquer a province in the quest 12. If the events finish with a conquered province...
Two or 3 days to explore because the players NOT live with the FOE, not work with the FOE; the players have families, jobs, friends,... and then a final gift that the Mathemathic Science say that is a very bad gift, similar to Whising Wells and Young Fonts --> 2 (3x3) = 18 Vs 5x4 = 20, and the 1 per cent for the really best gift, 50 diamonds. How many Wising Wells, Young Fonts or Hedge Mazes you'll need to obtain weekndly 150 or 200 diamonds? How many construction space you'll need? The fourth level offer you more possibility to obtain diamonds, a really big 50 per cent... and the city will be and beauty city and not a Concentration Camp of Wishing Wells, Young Fonts or the new? gift.
In the Quest 7:"Research a technology OR Donate 350 goods to your Guild Treasury" and "Spend 20 Forge Points". Lowest ages will can't pay it without a high risk of break in it progress. This may supose a high possibility of "say godbye" to FOE in the new players.
What is the use of the Baroque Garden if it gives nothing to have the buildings together? if i want to complete The Baroque Garden Set I'm forced to explore provinces, conquer provinces and all sectors in one province
Best regards,
Pd.- I'm waiting a Don Quixote event XDXD
