(Spoilers) Something rustles in the grass!

In the game files, 3 new time buildings have appeared under the tag "Sale" (term expires).

Spoiler

Frog prince:
3 KP every 10 hours

Amuni jewelry:
7 KP every 10 hours or
AW rune No. 1 every 10 hours or
AW rune No. 2 every 10 hours (AW rune from the chapter the building is from)

Magic hut:
10 RR every 20 hours or
1 blueprint every 20 hours or
14 hours time booster every 20 hours

 

[Alcaro]

I am drooling looking at that Magic Hut but I doubt we will have a building giving a BP every 20h. That would make 10 chests useless.

 

[Lovec Krys]

Not if it is expensive enough and gives the bonus for short enough period, so only a very limited amount of players are viling to pay for them. So it all depends on those 2 parameters.

 

[Karvest]

frog and hut lasts 10 days, amuni - 14 days.

Chapter 18 in progress
They added 4-star military units to the files.
Health, + 10% bonus for attacks against their favorite victim and 10% defense against them increased compared to 3 stars.
is it worth going through chapters 16 and 17 and taking the penalty for a 10% buff?

 

[FieryArien]

Good question. It’s not just for the 10% increase, though. We must also take into account, that we will start facing 4-star enemies once they release them in a new chapter. No matter if our current city actually has 4 stars available or not. (I still have a vivid memory of the time when 3-star Frog was added to the game.)

 

[Arthus]

I just hope enemies won't get 3x more boost as player's units ^^

 

[Karvest]

Mistwalker:
HP 106 => 117
damage 34 => 37
mage attack bonus 90 => 100
mage defense bonus 70 => 80

~same factor as player units.

 

[salandrine]

the huts above sound wonderful, even for a period of 10 days (maybe they are to be won in chests in spire or to be bought with diamonds).

But on live I just arrived in Chapter 17 and in a need for a lot of blueprints

 

[Karvest]

Doubt it would be available other than for real money, and even for real money it would probably be a limited offer (like those 10% discounts on residences). As you can already exchange your diamonds to blueprints/RRs (300diamonds per blueprint). And it's too good to be a regular prize in spire or whatever.

 

[Arthus]

Probably pay to win buildings so it will be clear that IG doesnt care ^^

 

[SoggyShorts]

is it worth going through chapters 16 and 17 and taking the penalty for a 10% buff?

Chapter 16 will give me training grounds upgrades and +13% Squad size. Chapter 17 another +15% Squad size

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

is it worth going through chapters 16 and 17 and taking the penalty for a 10% buff?

If your troop production can keep up with the increase in squad size, then why not? The actual difficulty will not get harder, only the need for more troops, or goods if you cater instead.

 

[SoggyShorts]

If your troop production can keep up with the increase in squad size

That's a big "if "

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

That's a big "if "

Your "if" also depends greatly on how many points a person wants each week. 3000? 5000? 10k? 15k?

The actual difficulty will not get harder,

It will likely get harder for those staying behind though. Unless they are doing very little, they will start facing 4* enemies where today that's capped at 3*.

 

[Karvest]

Everybody would get harder tournaments, that's not a question.
The question is whether getting own 4* units and a bit of training speed worth the SS increase due to researching techs required for them. There is a good chance that standing still after 3* frogs would give you bigger sustainable scores than going up to 4* units techs.

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

It will likely get harder for those staying behind though. Unless they are doing very little, they will start facing 4* enemies where today that's capped at 3*.

When I talk about difficulty, I am specifically talking about the squad-size difference between your troops and the enemy, per star and province. Those are the same, no matter the chapter you are in. The other stuff that can factor into difficulty is too individual to make a blanket statement about.

 

[Deleted User - 81190]

Everybody would get harder tournaments, that's not a question.

Not if you're doing less than 10 provinces per round. Given all the recent changes, I think we can establish that anything more than that is considered excessive and is penalized.

 

[Jammin]

I agree, the 4 * is way too late, it should have been in chapter 16 or 17 at the latest. Anyone who is now at 15 will throw up until he or she arrives at 18, where it may get really nauseous. Traverse 3 chapters with heaps of useless non-optional research for 10% buff.
Chapter 18 has to offer a lot more.

It will likely get harder for those staying behind though. Unless they are doing very little, they will start facing 4* enemies where today that's capped at 3*.

I also agree, so if you stop it gets bad and if you go further it gets bad too. What will be worse?
