- Restructuration of ressource system

8 new buildings planned, that will affect the ressource production and the ressources costs on a colony. Because a complet reconditioning of the balancing is needed anyway, both will be done at the same time.
The construction will get more expensive. With this, the rate for building time to costs will be changed – shorter Building time with higher costs. Longer “Saving Phases“ appear during the ressources for the next level have to be protected.
Beside, we correct some estimates that have been done before the balancing release.
(The ressource Level on the players islands on each level was estimated, but affected all cost functions of the game – now we can balance it with real data), which should have relatively strong effects on the price organization.

With that, we want to reach:
- By changing the costs/time relation the game will get more difficult, and looting, piracy and defense becomes more important. This change should increase military expenses and make sulphur a very demanded good.
(Until now this relation was adjusted very good natured, to make the game not to dificult for casual players and newbies – you almost allways have enough ressources for the next building.
Because of that, the need to loot or to trade was minor. At the same time, the need to defend was not very high – because it didn`t interfare.
- Because of the new buildings we can remove the marblecosts in the beginning – the more buildings we implant, later we can get the marble in the game (the total marble use for the building construction stays the same, but it gets distributed on more options). This removes the advantage from marble islands at the beginning.
- The game duration until you reach a complete upgraded empire gets clearly longer.
- The additional construction options should open some exciting strategic upgrading options.

That basically. I worked myself up the research system in tiers. I got the last big economical improvements first before I tackle the larger research. Having Sea Charts, Logistics, Spirit, and Mechanical Pen is really helpful for management and income.
