it is me i am the indy

[Rakefur]

this will be hardest for the noobs. Cause there will be no one to teach them. 

[Kilkenne]

everyone's in the same boat pretty much except shadow and I, and I'm not sure whether it'll be fair if we play when it opens up or not

[Rakefur]

I'm open to tips :)

[Kilkenne]

build towers, nothing but towers, towers on every piece of land

no not building towers

[Rakefur]

yeah that makes sense. ;)

I have another question. Do foragers still produce food? Do markets still produce cash? (etc...). Cause what I got from that big post was buildings just housed workers and workers made your stuff.

[Kilkenne]

It's more now that your workers actually matter to your production. You're going to produce food still from foragers, but markets never really ~produced cash~ much beyond the 1,000 per turn per market anyhow. They still operate in that regard, but now they also house workers. A lot of your income is going to come from taxes, but when you can no longer support yourself through taxes, you're going to need markets if you want to float a lot of troops.

[Rakefur]

O.o

This was meant for greater men than myself to comprehend.

[Kilkenne]

Markets still make some cash, but most of your money is going to come from taxing the workers that live on your land. Once the taxes aren't enough income, you should think about maybe building (more) markets, if you want to remain in positive cash production.

[Rakefur]

gi

Can you answer my question on the other thread?

[Krowdon]

Markets still make some cash, but most of your money is going to come from taxing the workers that live on your land. Once the taxes aren't enough income, you should think about maybe building (more) markets, if you want to remain in positive cash production.

Can't I just steal other peoples money instead of taxes?

[Kilkenne]

It's going to be a lot harder to find someone who has 0 of a type of troop than it is before, now that land will be worth keeping.

[Rakefur]

so will leaders still have the same ratio thingie or is that gone too?

[Kilkenne]

Leaders will be driven by ratios to do things, yes. But you can no longer use leaders to attack other players in the same manner, so it's not beneficial to just gain a ton of land and then drop half of it to the farm.

[Kilkenne]

Also, there's no such thing as "loot" or "feast" anymore, so it's a different leader dynamic.
