Hi guys,

The population changes are indeed correct, we have just checked them. We tried to stay as close to the old values as possible, but for the Summer and Halloween 2016 buildings this still means quite a drop, unfortunately. Of course you'll be able to get them to higher values with the new spells in the (near) future, but for now we realise it can be quite an impact.

Well, I would not say a word about 2016 buildings, but my father trees of candy canes are from winter event 2017/18

For your questions about the blueprints and magic buildings: Your current blueprints will indeed be converted into the new spells, which will be usable on both the Magic Residence/Magic Workshop AND Event buildings

Thank god, one worry less!

Edit: A list of the changes (which building from x to y) would be a cool thing.

I second that. I can't work out where my population has gone from apart from the Charming tree which no longer has any

You received it in the last winter event, but the building was originally introduced during Snow Flurry event the year before, so it is a "before march 2017 building". Is that the right definition @Marindor ? So, all buildings originally introduced before Rise of Phoenix event are concerned.

 

[DeletedUser2405]

I have - 765 less. It's crazy ! If you wrong to calculate the population for each event building before that date ... do you think it is our fault? This is absolutely not fair ... I hope you are jocking ...

Yes, this is indeed correct.

 

[DeletedUser2099]

Yes, this is indeed correct.

Well, but why is that the fault of the individual player? How should any of us know which are "old" buildings and which are new?

 

[DeletedUser2405]

Yes, this is indeed correct.

It is absolutely not correct. You can not change idea when you want it is not fair

 

[Dony]

they can do whatever they want with their game to balance it how they feel, if you think its not correct then you should convince us otherwise

 

[DeletedUser2406]

I see two problems:
- you changed without notice. Since this change alter population and culture, you should have announced the possibility of finding oneself at negative culture or population, so that people could have boosted a little both, not to remain blocked.
- your presentation of the changes is not truthful. For instance, your definition of "buildings before March 2017" is deceiving. From what you wrote it seems very small changes will be observed, but it is not so, many people found their population or culture reduced. People choose the prices in the events with a strategy, that is heavily modified when you change the past. Every building becomes obsolete, sooner or later, I wonder about the absolute necessity of some very large modification you did.

 

[Konniver]

Changes in the data means I cannot upload the beta buildings to the Elven Architect just yet, but I'm able to run a report on any detected changes:

Building Changes 1.54

I believe I'm interpreting the data correctly, but do let me know if there are any mistakes.

 

[DeletedUser1833]

Wow, this is coming down really hard on anyone in the first 3 Guest Race chapters. And it's particularly tough on Orcs players (of which I'm one )!

 

[Heymrdiedier]

ive been looking in the gamefiles. seems to me population barely changes if you get it to lvl 12. culture drops a little.
So if you can upgrade the nerfed buildings, everything turns out well.

however i also saw the upgrade costs of event buildings in the gamefiles.
An upgrade costs 1000 diamonds, i think thats too much.
upgrading a magical residence or workshop costs you 320 diamonds, or a blueprint. For me that means a blueprint is worth 320 diamonds, so upgrading an eventbuilding should also costs that amount if you dont have blueprints, instead of 3 times that much.

 

[SoggyShorts]

For your questions about the blueprints and magic buildings: Your current blueprints will indeed be converted into the new spells, which will be usable on both the Magic Residence/Magic Workshop AND Event buildings

Sorry, but I don't understand the change completely...
If blueprints be gone for everyone and converted into these "spells", and these "spells" can be used to upgrade magic and event buildings, what are these "spells" going to be called? Perhaps a good name would be........Blueprints?

Aside from that, does you calling them spells imply that they will be available outside of the 10th chest?
And I don't mean "perhaps maybe someday" I mean on the day that event buildings become upgradable will spells be available from the MA or....?

 

[Marindor]

The change will indeed be relatively biggest for buildings on lower levels. In this case we basically had 2 options: Make these buildings totally non-upgradeable or take the pain of having to alter them to fit the balancing, also on higher levels. We didn't want to go for the first option, especially since we have many more chapters planned for this game, and the first option would take away the entire possibility to make these buildings more powerful on higher levels as well. Since most of our players are not that fond of getting rid of their old event buildings, we'd rather present an opportunity to keep them attractive, also on higher levels, even though it means making adjustments right now which are less nice in the short run.

i think its 10 diamonds per tile per chapter

Not Happy with this new update... Balancing te eventbuildings for the future... Many people are having much event buildings with people and now drop down verrry hard and are stuck... Why not do the balncing and the spells at the same time than maybe people are not having lesser people for a long time... I think you will lose much people many will stop playing because of this....
I want to keep my event buildings but i think it is better to demolish them and place not event buildings with people...

 

[Deleted User - 60107]

So, how about letting us put event buildings back into inventory? Upgrading event buildings and putting them back into inventory are the two most requested features about them. Looks like we might get the former in a few weeks/months, so what about the latter?

 

[Dony]

will i be able to make this spells if i dont have blueprints?

 

[DeletedUser2099]

My population just crashed from 411 to -3305

@Elderflower - where do you get the correct numbers from what it used to be?
