Depends on how long you linger in chapter 3,View attachment 9081
This above statement is not correct for 'humans' chapter 3
Magic residence: 250 people 1044 coins/h
Residence level 9: 260 people 1088 coins/h
Something is not right, I guess.
The values are from the WIKI chart. The unlock level 15 residences is in chapter 3It's a bit of a screwed area in chapter 2-3-4 because the tech tree ain't that solid and clear. I think you unlock level 15 residences in chapter 4, but that leaves no space for a premium building in chapter 5.
Not, when you upgrade to level 15 as I did. The value/tile is better for the normal residence at level 15, still in chapter 3. But value/tile is not mentioned in the info box. And even than it would not be correct.But even with that the value/tile is still better.
Ok looked it up it seems to be humans you are talkiung aboutThe values are from the WIKI chart. The unlock level 15 residences is in chapter 3
Chapter 3: Magic residence: 250 people 1044 coins/h
The level for residences in chapter3 are from 9 to 15
Residence level 9: 260 people 1088 coins/h
Residence level 15: 560 people 3333 coins/h
Not, when you upgrade to level 15 as I did. The value/tile is better for the normal residence at level 15, still in chapter 3. But value/tile is not mentioned in the info box. And even than it would not be correct.
Not specifically true, in the early chapters MR are very very very cheap, if you can find a good blueprint producing fellowship very early on, you could buy some really cheap magic residences / worshops for mere pennies, and then evolve them in the long run into expensive good buildings.Yeah, early chapter Magic Residences don't represent good value. It's weird, but that's how it's been. It's generally accepted that chapter 4 MRs are the earliest you should be acquiring. That being said, in one city I got myself about 4 chapter 3 MRs because they're so much cheaper to buy. It was also on the MR discount day. I then just upgraded them all straight to the next level. It costs blueprints, but very few diamonds.
That's why I did it.Not specifically true, in the early chapters MR are very very very cheap, if you can find a good blueprint producing fellowship very early on, you could buy some really cheap magic residences / worshops for mere pennies, and then evolve them in the long run into expensive good buildings.
In you example the price for a MR doubles between chapter 3 and 4 from 330 diamonds to 690 diamonds.
Since chapter 1 is 290 and chapter 2 is 320 diamonds chapter 3 premium buildings are pretty much at the absolute optimum time to buy them on a cheap.
Ok looked it up it seems to be humans you are talkiung about
In chapter 3 you unlock level 9 residences, but at the start of chapter 3 you havent unlocked those yes.
The main difference is therefore in the size of the building.

The size of the magic residence is only half that of your level 9 residence.
This means you should count 2 magic residences that fit into the same space profile to 1 normal residence.
So it's 500 people for 12 squares and 2088 coins/h vs 260 people and 1088 coins.
Once you consider space you see it become an entire different picture.

again you are comparing a building half the size to that of a building twice the size.Here is what I am talking about. I put it in table format -- chapter 3 -3,85% or -55,36% The magic residence population is always greater than the once of a normal residence (even if normal residence is max upgradet) except for chapter 3. The sizes are always the same except for chapter 2 and 3

I don't see no obvious advantages. You want me spend twice the amount of 330 diamants (660 diamonds) for 500 population while I instead uppgrade 1 residence to level 15 and have 560 population. Therefore I didn't buy a magic residence but upgraded a normal one. I think it is a miss and they never fixed it. And yet, nothing will make that statement right for chapter 3.again you are comparing a building half the size to that of a building twice the size.
The no tech part also tells everything. they need a magic progression trough the chapters.
last but nog least you are ignoring how cheap those buildings are in chapter 3 compared to larger chapters.
There is an obvious gap there, but "fixing" that gap will lead to less desirable results. in short will be stuck on lower level buildings trough chapter 3 (limit your ability for normal residences to create a gap) and adding 2 more researches taking you a longer time to progress trough the chapters.
The fix would be a net negative for you as a player.
The chapter 3 magic residence has some obvious advatages, again if you buy 2 of them instead of 1, you get almost double the stats at the same space usage
Compare apples to apples, and not apples to pears. a building half the size should not have better stats than a building twice as big.
Since residences hold population and it's population I am buying I need to calculate the cost per person and I wouldn´t call the costs for cheap. In contrary, population got cheaper in larger chapters. The cost for the building goes up but I am not buying a building but population so the costs are actually going down.last but nog least you are ignoring how cheap those buildings are in chapter 3 compared to larger chapters.
