Since we cant undo the placing of expansions, we basically are punished forever since the new tournament formula was introduced.
My suggestion would be to use working population and/or culture to determine the cost instead of placed expansions.
That way if a player would want to downsize his town because of this formula, he can.
A secondary suggestion would be to base the formula on amount of all your production factories produce in 1 day, instead of relic boost.
By doing this, people who enjoy spire/tournament can actually still compete against players who made a city, catered to abuse the bad formula to make tournament/spire cheaper. (like by making a city with minimal expansions and only premiums who weigh less in the formula)
Don't get me wrong I still think the formula is very bad and not good for the business model of elvenar (spending premium hurts you),
but I think its clear they don't want to do something about that stupid mistake.
I realise you could say, what about teleport spells. people would just teleport everything just before start and then put it all back afterwards. well to counter that, you could make it so the numbers arent picked at the start, but that the numbers are the average of the whole week before or something.
