Ancient Wonder Rebalancing Completed!
Dear Humans and Elves,
Many players have told us that they don't think the Ancient Wonders were worth their space in the city. To answer to that concern, we have changed the way Ancient Wonders provide their bonuses during the last weeks, which has been announced in more detail in the daily Release Notes on Beta.
So, what exactly has changed with these updates?
The Ancient Wonders have changed from providing static effects to providing dynamic effects, based on your own progress. This means that the Ancient Wonders will always keep their value after building them, and will grow with your own progress. So, even without leveling up the Ancient Wonder, its power will increase as your city develops. Leveling the Wonders to higher levels will of course increase the bonus it gives even further, and give it an extra boost. Below, for your convenience, we'll share you the full list of Ancient Wonders and their effects. Most effects will now be a percentage of a factor that you can find in your city. With every extra level of the Ancient Wonder, this percentage increases.
