it is insane since we all think building wonders will make us better in the game.
But now that i think of it, isnt it also insane that spire gets harder when we advance further in the tech tree. Or that tournaments get harder when we get bigger troops.
why would you ever wanna leave chapter 2, if it only gets harder later on (or maybe take orcs chapter, at least you can continue on world map then)
I do not agree, The step wise increase as you advance in the tech tree is to make it fun for all, but as you progress it also slowly becomes easier at the same time. it becomes easier a bit faster than the difficulty increases.
As a thumb rule, as soon as part of the game are ignored because of some game mechanic, then there is a problem that should be adressed.
The goal in a game should always to advance yourself, If I do not advance because of a certain feature then that feature is a problem.
So if the result from this wonder increasing effect is that we don not advance our wonders then this mechanic is a failure.
And unfortunatly we already have a few of these failures in game already.
The worst part of this all, is that this mechanic was designed to avoid a similar failure made in the tournaments with the optional SS issue.
It's somewhat of a joke that they adressed this failure with a new mechanic that introduces a very similar failure in it.
It's like replacing goat poo with dogg poo, poo is still poo and it doesn't matter where that poo is coming from.
