Increase TP lvl to 2x or 3x

Lord Eagle

I think tp should increase by 2x or 3x instead of 1x per tick to make game faster for techs.

CyberPtra

I think we should add back the gold requirements! Tech should be researched gold to ensure that people are budgeting to make tech time.

Blahblah

What if the amount of TP produced per tick increased one for every 4 or 5 castles?

Lord Thane

Blahblah ohhhh that's a good one, diabolical method of encouraging castle growth.

trupheus

Doesn’t that just turn into the strong getting stronger faster? I guess the thardferr billionaires need another tax break paid for by castles taken from smaller kingdoms.

Lord Thane

trupheus that's a good point. Maybe instead it could be something smaller, yet still significant, like at 20+ castles get 0.5 more tp, and then at +30 castles another 0.5. It's smaller bumps, but maybe enough to push ppl over the castle humps.

Blahblah

Lord Thane you could limit it to a max of 5 gaining only 1 per every 5 castles till you reach 20 and its capped at that point. This also includes the original one per hour.

TheKeeper

We are now on techs V1.5, in V2.0 we will need to give a lot more TP

Zones

castles should not be part of it. just let everyone research at the same speed.
1 per tick is fine. 2 max.

Blahblah

You could also think of making it a spell. One extra t p for every two hours that the spell is active? There's all kinds of ideas you can come up with.For something like this. But I would suggest that it would be a self benefiting spell, so it would be usable with mp.

Lord Eagle

At least add an option to convert gold to tp or do tech with gold as well. This 1x tp is not practical at all

Lord Eagle

It’s going to be interesting. Old system some people might have started FG around tick 15 and then waited 30 ticks for it to finish, everyone has the option of getting their first tech sooner. But I think there’s a ripple effect because I’d be able to immediately start my next tech that would cost more gold and take 40 ticks to complete. Now I’ll have to wait 10 ticks to start it. Then wait again after it is finished.

This is not the final form and I’m waiting for Keeper to blow is tech web all over.

Kramer

It is same as last round but faster, with no gold. How not practical?

Lord Eagle

trupheus i love this tp system but i am just saying to increase the tp to 2x per tick to make things faster instead of current 1x per tick and if not, then gold should be converted to tp and then used those tp to do techs immediately without waiting

Kramer

Current system you just get all your techs faster, the only delays would be the player not allocating the points. Not allocating has no impact on tech progression at all, because the points continue accumulating regardless.

Psidon

im ok with how it is atm..

Lord Eagle

If increasing TP per tic, then I think setting a cap of say 75% of total TP for all techs.

Timing has always offered some variable in strategy and road map letting people choose techs based on their play style. Getting weapons early and sacrificing magic has pros and cons, same with econ techs.

I think have a system that allows everyone to max out on techs takes away from their overall application in the game.

Its the same reason I dont agree with more than 10 buildings per land. There should be an opportunity cost with every decision you make.

Thecatman

I don't think there's much sense wasting time tinkering with TP and techs considering Keeper is going to upend the whole system at some point

skigglez

please no more changes - initial protection hasn't even ended yet

Sweglord

Make it 2 a tick. 1 too slow
