I do have one thing I have a problem with, its people overcharging for their luxury items, this seems to happen often in these kinds of games, and MMO's style games. I'm going to try to set to trend on my island, and keep my prices low and fair.

Right now we have people selling their Sulfur for 45, 40 and 20 gold a piece, while I'm selling it for 10 gold. I think 15 is pretty fair at the most. Just keep it in mind, if everyone keeps raising the prices, then its going to be outrageous, I hate when the in game economy's start going south.

True, the 40 and even the annoying guy on our island who wanted 69 gold a piece make the economies difficult to deal with. It does cost 2 workers to produce 1 luxury item though. Since 2 workers cost you 16 gold an hour to produce just 1 item. 16 would a break even point. Anything below that is a good deal.

Yep, I guess I never figured the cost since gold has not been to much of a issue for me yet, maybe I'll get a bit more needy of it when I start building my armies up.

I had a question.

When you build a wall you are supposed to get a 10% increase in defence and then I was reading that you were supposed to get a 10% increase for every upgrade. When I was upgrading my wall I noticed my was defence was at 3%. Does that mean someone attempted an attack on my town? or do they degrade overtime.

**UnDeaD77** · 03-15-2008, 09:40 PM

My wall is still level 1, and my defense bonus is only 1%, I had a attack so its possible it degrades.

**machowner** · 03-15-2008, 10:43 PM

Hey Cat, if you click on the Towns guy, a list of events will show up. It will say whether or not you were attacked.

Research tree.

Actually, it only costs 8 gold a hour to produce a single luxury good. Researchers take 8 gold an hour, workers do not make any gold (nor cost any). If they don't cost any gold, then they are taking 4 gold an hour each away (per citizen not working/researching) and times that by 2 and you have 8 gold an hour.

**machowner** · 03-16-2008, 03:12 AM

Yes, my mistake, I was mixing the Researcher/Citizen amounts. It is only 8 an hour for 1 luxury item.

I think we should have a thread dedicated to Resource Trading. It will help to keep things clean and organized. My idea was to have one thread where each person would post (once) their island's resource, as well as any needs they may have, and can edit their post accordingly.

This will allow everyone to see what everyone else has and at the same time, what they are in need of.

Say I have glass, and need marble, and someone else has marble but needs glass. Coming here and checking will make it easy for us to mutually help eachother.

Having each person do one post and just edit it will keep people from wading through 30 new posts a day looking for someone who needs what they have.

Just a suggestion.
