It is boring that military power is the only way at higher era to be in the top 10 ! Reduce the cost of catering with higher SS !
i am pretty sure negotiating is much more boring then auto combat or manual combat, you dont even need to use brain, just mindlessly cater all provinces in 10s
T1-T3 is completely useless in later stages of the game, no wonder devs want from players to get rid of it
negotiating can not fail and i would even add that to all negotiators similar to fighting to even it out

@Dony It's faster, that's the main advantage.
And I don't agree that T1-3 are useless, you need them to cater. They will be almost useless once catering will be done with expired goods (but then catering will be destroyed by the seed production obstackle).

I'd like to see a reduction from 4 to 1 tournament encounters. No way am I ever going to do 160 manual fights, but I might do 40...maybe

@Dony Catering is faster than autofighting (less mouse clicks), not mentioning hand fighting.

You cannot fight always. Either there are fights which you loose (especially at 5/6* in harder tournaments), or when you run out of army and want to clear more provinces.
Also sometime it's cheaper to catter than loose 80% of troops (you're close to the point when you can no longer fight).
And I'm not even talking about cities without military wonders, they loose fights much more easily, so they cater more than fight.

@Lovec Krys
I don't think it's fair to say that you need goods to cater because you might run out of troops, unless you also say that you need troops because you might run out of goods.

As for "unwinnable" fights in the tournament that only happens because of choices you make: with the right troops and wonders you can win any manual fight.

I do agree that catering is so much faster than fighting even autofighting that I find myself doing it even when I have the troops due to laziness. That's why I'd like to see fewer encounters.

@SoggyShorts What i meant is something I also do: If I want to clear x provinces in tournament and I run out of army several provinces sooner, then, if I have enough goods, I cater the rest.

If you autofight there are some fights when you loose even using best possible units (usualy at higher count of stars, when enemy has an advantage of numbers).

Unless the requirement grows when reaching Evolved Workshops 2, you should be fine with just 4

That is what I'd like to know before deleting one. I'm on number 37 now (in live). Thanks anyway :)

Agreed @MiniB, never take it for granted :rolleyes:
though I'm on quest #69 (live as well) and still no sign of specific requirement for additional workshops (beyond the 4 requested in quest #30)

The only quest related to workshops was asking to research Evolved Workshops 2 and to have at least one workshop at level 33
(green checked by default in case of magic workshop at level 14)

But I'll keep you posted if I see anything else on this topic :)

Aquaduct will be 1 quest

I confirm we have to build 1 aqueduct at some point - along with 2 inspiring meditation spells - still working on that one.

@Dony : assuming you got past that one, could you please share the following quests ? ;) Many thanks in advance.

I was just looking at the Constructs page on Gems. It now includes all of the Constructs quests.
#63 Have 6 manufactories at level 25 or higher

Are you serious? I have no need for six. I can produce all the sentient goods that I need with one each for T4, T5, and T6. And there is no good reason (I don't care about ranking) to upgrade non-sentient-boosted goods past 23. Why lose the 24 hour and 48 hour productions?

If this is indeed a mandatory quest I will be stopping at that point. Maybe even stop working the quests where I am at. I can complete the tech tree without level 4 islands. There is no way that I will buy expansions to put up these extra things.

Bleh, that quest does suck. It is totally unnecessary to upgrade sentients past level 24. Complete waste of space.

Simple fix for me though- I'll put em all up to 25 and delete them immediately after I finish the chapter. Why waste the space for 7 months?

Interesting idea to delete the level 25s once the task is done. To accomplish that I can just delete some mana buildings to make space and put them back after the quest.

It will give me something to do with my mu builders occupied during the seven month wait for new content. I can rebuild to 23 and only go back to level 24 if Chapter 15 requires it. Haven't got a clue as to what they will do in that chapter as far as goods!

But I really do wish that they would make the quest optional. They are going to far with forcing us to have inefficient cities. But I guess it makes since to them if they can get us to buy more premium expansions. No way, that ain't gonna happen. I will quit the game before I do that.

Please do the right thing and make #63 optional/

I think there's a "have 16 level 3 ports" quest too.
Which will trip you up too if you're only placing 4.

Pretty much like amuni where if you want to do the quests there is exactly 1 way to do it.
Lame.

@Jaxom Or you can choose just not to do quests (I usually stop doing them after the first few, and then click them in next chapter).
Btw. to delete some mana buildings and later put them back... does that mean you use standard mana buildings instead of the event ones? (that's also inefficient)

@Jaxom Or you can choose just not to do quests (I usually stop doing them after the first few, and then click them in next chapter).
I guess I feel that doing the chapter quest lines is important. If I didn't do them I would take 6 months to complete each chapter,

Btw. to delete some mana buildings and later put them back... does that mean you use standard mana buildings instead of the event ones? (that's also inefficient)
Actually I now have no non-event mana buildings. I did have a bunch while I was waiting for Chapter 14 but they all went away. Thought I had stored up enough but the main hall and street upgrades ate up a ton. That and over producing Basic construct things. If I had known that they would demand another 5K late in the quest line I would have been better off.

The chapter has gone faster than expected due to having Portal Profit spells. I got the Core up to level 4 quickly and that helped. Now it is just a matter of grinding through the upgrades.

But I begin to wonder if moving forward is worth it. I can do tournaments without sentient stuff. I can do FAs (grudgingly, hate them) without sentient stuff. The only benefits from the later chapters seems to be stronger troops for fighting tournaments. Is it time for a new game?
