@ThunderingJeff look at the costs of everything; it's just too expansive to get 900 from an old building and get 15relic in return. but it costs 3x craftspel (and making it + 3x crafttime. that's madness.
What are you talking about? The Magic Academy doesn't change in size, and it can be a super useful building now. I have three cities including Beta, and ALL of them have excess spells I'll never use. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to do something with them. It would take me a LONG time to to use 210 Power or Provision spells, not to mention the fact that I get 8 or so from EVERY TOURNY. The Magic Academy got an awesome upgrade, I appreciate it.
you dont get anything by reseting it and with bad luck you can spend bilions and bilions of coins and still get 0 recipes you want/need
Have you SEEN the amount of Coin Instants they're giving out? My main city has 31 33% Coin Instants, I can AFFORD billions and billions of coins. I think coins would be too overpowered to be able to reset the timer. Unless the amount you needed grew each time you used them, like buying KP. It might start off as 600K to refresh it in a day, but would grow to hundreds of millions...
Also 1 diamond free reset a day would be awesome. I do not agree you should be able to spamm gold coins instead.
Innogames to needs to make a living, It's to easy to get access to an endless supply of gold coins so I dont see a reason to add that option.
1 is really low, isn't it? After Dwarves, you'd be able to refresh it two hundred times every chapter. I agree it's a bit high now, but they could only scale it down to, say, 20. And then ascend in value each time you refresh, like the Premium Expansions.
Why crafting isn't separated from spell creation?!!
I'm using my Magic Academy for Magical Manufacturing 100% of the time (on live, on beta I didn't built Magic Academy). Also I don't see anything worth crafting instead of creating Magical Manufacturing spell.
That'll change every day. Personally, I've got crap tons of MM spells built up, so I don't need anymore then I have. Crafting Broken Shards or KP or whatnot is much better then increasing the boost of one Good producing building for 24 hours.
