I've no doubt these will be brought into pvp, so the players with 1000's of spare gps have something fresh to aim for.

If you (Plarium) want to make money, improve the strategy of game that is almost completely absent in this game and then you can make money on that one and not on these frivolous things, otherwise this game has a few months of life and then will be completely dead.

you spending money on online games, think twice you might be funding something wrong

Hi everyone,

like most of you, i do not like the improvements from the recent changes as well.

In free to play games, those who like to invest some money should not have too much advantages apart from those who do not. Otherwise this scheme will not work at all.

Upgrading building which new currency? Maybe acceptable. 20% boost to offence and defence? Definitly not!

What i would like more is for example much complex scheme of achievements with rewards. This will ensure that those in both early-game and in end-game will have something to pursue and they will keep playing as long as it takes. These changes will only encourage people to quit!

oh well....

the plarium credit card slaughter continues....

i decided to do 1 building upgrade.., just to try...

1 to see if the tournament rewards makes sense... and...

2 to see the building cost..

well.., i never finished it...

i did 2 levels and 10000 drachmas gone.., plus speed ups...

wow!!.....

that's just crazy....

and wait... the great news is...

i get rewarded with 15 peltasts.... after spending 15 000 drachmas...

surely everyone must see the huge benefits in this....

NOT!!!!!...

what a waste of money this game has become....

and it keeps getting worse....

congratulations.... the powers that be.... geniuses..., that will kill off this game...

maybe a lot sooner than they think...

any of the GOOD games have 2 main characteristics...

A a good strategy to make for challenging game play.. with or without cash...,

B a balance between coiners and players not coining or coining a little with loads of time to play...( where the coiners always have an edge...)

cause they coin... and keep the game costs and profits covered..

here if you not a coiner.., you got no chance...

and the strategy of the game is... coin.... to win...

non coiners will leave.... and soon after... the coiners....

cause believe me... doing this for 20 years of internet games..,

non coiners stop playing..., soon after the coiners go...

good luck Plarium...!!...

 Add mine to the chorus of objectors.  Clearly only the  big coin folks are likely to continue in the long run.  You have made the game unaffordable for most. Spending a modest amount periodically is doable foe some but a lot of archons will draw a a line in the sand on this  one and leave.

 Since some os us still have available land slots. Would rather have seen some new buildings or additional spaces outside the walls for more decor/ fortification. these could have been done at more modest cost

The concept of upgrading the building is an progressive idea. City should not be stagnant & artisans should not be sitting idle. But few things strikes very odd.

1)  Building are basic things in a city, so why players are suppose to spend dracmas on that?

2) Even you consider these upgrade are advancement, an reasonable price for sketches encourage players but the prices are exorbitant. So buying them is not an option.

3) As suggested previously by several players, those sketches should be added to global tournaments or PVP like (GP's). So money spender & non-spender both will have fair chance to upgrade their city. Only difference will be the pace at which they upgrade their city.

4) Everyone knows, the game is tilted towards defence, why "temple if hep" is allowed to be upgraded but not "temple of PAN"

So Plarium, listen to the suggestion & rationale & act acoordingly.

One good move by plarium is to add more items to be purchased by GP. Good use of accumulated GP.

Archons! I appreciate your feedback and suggestions given, I'll definitely forward them to our devs. 

First of all, every Archon has a choice - whether to use these Sketches or not. If you want them, you buy them. If you don't like them, you won't buy them.

I remind you that there are a lot of ways in the game to earn Drachmas as a reward. So all the Archons have a possibility to buy these Sketches.  

And finally, there is a possibility that the gods will decide to add these Sketches to the Tournaments' rewards

The advanced levels are really nice luxury upgrades, but are by no means mandatory.

Dedicated players are still capable of raiding to keep their training queues busy for weeks at a time.

They're still capable of keeping their resource pools well below 18,000.

The infirmary maxes out at healing 50% offensive units, but healing 30% defensive units will not change.

Resource generators will take much longer to pay for themselves, given the immense costs without discounts. Would you prefer a credit card player to max out their buildings or to buy a couple thousand units to wreck you with?

Remember, these are advanced levels, and they have some pretty serious upgrades. The resource generators start at 100 additional resources per level instead of the 20 per level for previous upgrades. They're supposed to be restrictive. Otherwise, players would max them out in a matter of months and we would continue to get complaints that their artisans have nothing to do.

Players will not win the game simply for purchasing these upgrades.

New items are expensive for the sake of novelty, and will become more accessible as time progresses.

Great Meant to be restrictive means MORE POWER TO COINERS... GREAT JOB

It could also mean less power if you think about it.

i was daft enough to buy 1 sketch. i can not find it, click upgrade on say forge, no mention of sketch. this is plarium incompetence. crooks.

Cycle through "Other Resources" in the top left.

I do not like, I agree with the other player, too much difference between those who use money and no
