To Trade or not toe trade?

[Pontifex Maximus]

Cast your vote

[Lord Dread]

Kinda am surprised by this result, as I thought I was the only one, who would would vote for keeping the mechanics.

[Pontifex Maximus]

its not a hard vote for most people. Do you want to keep 40k of income, or not? most people want it apparenty. What we need to do is scrap the whole system and adjust prices accordingly across the board to reflect everyone having less income

[The Mad Skylord]

That would be a good idea, Ponti. I would have voted for that, but if you wanted such an outcome then you should have put it in the poll.

[Pontifex Maximus]

The average income is now, not adjusting for any modifiers, traits, etc, at 50k. In the past we've had an average income as high as 60k but not in this setting. So. With two trade routes that's 40k easy, almost doubling someone's income. What we need to do is reduce the prices of buildings by 30% and the price of troops by probably 20% to reflect the loss of income (recruitment and upkeep).

[Pontifex Maximus]

it was more or less obvious to me

[Poach]

"Scrap" and "Replace with this instead" are two entirely different questions.

[The Mad Skylord]

Ponti, with the best will in the world, we can't gaze through our computer screens and into your mind. If we could, then Oz wouldn't be terrified of rping with you and there would be no abject terror at the mention of your name.

Poach is correct, for that particular outcome, you needed another question on the poll.

[The Mad Skylord]

Then make a new poll between scrapping it and replacing it with a better system. And put what you just said as the first post in the thread.
