Summary
Where the next chapter actually starts is not clear.
Description
Several players on different servers have remarked on the fact that the advanced scouts SEEM to be in the next chapter if looking at their placement in the tree. And the chest requires x-provinces to advance to the next chapter but gives access to the scouts which are not.
Motivation
Especially during events, and mostly for less advanced players they put in a lot of additional effort in order to get to the next chapter for a better building, then find out the scouts are not IN that chapter yet.
The placement on the tree would suggest that they are and there is no ingame communication about this. The marker at the bottom showing which chapter a player is in is much less obvious than the tree itself.
Possible solutions
- Move the advanced scouts on the tree to the obvious end of each chapter, after the wonders.
This would require the chest to be either placed apart, to be unlocked after unlocking the tech for the advanced scout, or have it automatically unlock a that moment.
- Make the advanced scouts part of the new chapter, so that investing at least 1 KP in the research would take one to the next chapter
- Make a strong visible marked line between each chapter so it is obvious for all players where each chapter ends. Also add a clear warning/description of where the scouts are reckoned to be when the one at the start of chapter 2 is unlocked.
Possible downsides
As far as I can see none at all.
