@Bobbykitty , not to mention Armories need a lot more culture than manufactories...
I know that Sorc 3 are pretty much imba, but then again they were hard to make and cost alot. So what's the problem? Besides, even before you introduced that new battle system it was pretty tough to fight on the map.
We always try to keep the scouting times and costs reasonable (that is why we have the Advanced Scouts technologies), and if you are within the range of amount of provinces that we would expect you to be at, e.g. the scouting times should always be less than a day for the chapters that we have currently available in our research tree.
It should never have been possible to get as far as some of you may have gotten, but due to the overpowered units we talked about above, it had become a possibility.
That would make many of our balancing problems disappear all in one go. But, what would be your response if we would do that now? My personal guess: you would hate us for it and scream bloody murder. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Sorry, but the days of "sending only Granite Golems and Sorceresses and win everything without any losses ever" are over.
If you fight a lot, we would also recommend to build one (or more) of the battle-related Ancient Wonders and upgrade those. Ancient Wonders are always an investment: at their lower levels they don't give super-high bonuses, but those can rise quickly once the buildings are upgraded to the highest levels.
In general, we would expect you to be just a few provinces above the number of provinces needed to unlock the next chapter in the research tree
You are crazy.Scouting times and "expected" progression should have matched up from the start.
When you are guessing how far your players will advance you should assume that scouts are sent out about as much as possible.
EDIT: The way to hard cap this was simple- make scouting cost more than you can hold in your MH.
If you don't want people scouting ring 11 before dwarf chapter all you have to do is make scouting cost 4.5M (pre dwarf MH holds 4.4M)
A little balance and tweak of max MH capacity and scouting costs and poof instant cap to what you want
All you need to know they are making FoE clone.
