gods of olympus

I'm sure we'll need more storage down the line but I think we're looking at GR 18+, which is years away for most folks.

explaining: I mean that naming the update "Gods of Olympus" is not worth the content the update brings.

Hey, it's just marketing.

The update didn't really provide any additional information other than when it will be released. I guess we will just have to wait.

I have just one observation with what has been revealed so far: this will exclude players keeping under Godly Protection. The requirement for Town Hall level 5 negates Godly Protection (absent Ambrosia); there have been players with a TS of over 1M while staying under Godly Protection. I don't know whether anyone still plays that style.

Quote from Touristas

It is not very clear from the announcement: Is it one God per city with the option to choose a different God for each city or every city has to worship the same God?

way I understand its 1 god at a time although you can switch, and per city..

Basically production booster building 2.0 it seems.

I got the impression there might be daily tasks involving it.

it's not clear if the building will be powered by level, tasks, priests, or some variation of all 3.. but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

EDIT: Actually reserach might be another way it's powered.. they said you're gonna have to reserach to build various levels to unlock the whole thing.. it might create a 5th research line "mythology" and have it's own line of futures.

I'll probably go for marble and gold but I guess it will depend on how good the boosting.

Can't imagine anyone will go for wood unless they're trying to upgrade the mines or something.. since every town can harvest wood it's rarely lacking in my exp.

I agree with you, we still don't know if there will be progress with increasing the level of the building, it is best to wait for the changes before commenting. And I also agree with the fact that I will probably go with the marble and gold option as well. I dig wood in 13 cities, I wouldn't touch anything there, marble is always needed, and gold is also never enough.

People are simply hilarious. They are never happy. The thing we need is increased resources and gold and this is going to do just that. Now the question is the specifics so let’s wait and see before condemning it completely. It was also pretty obvious the 4 slots we got was going to be helpful future buildings also. I have 2 slots open in my towns for new buildings. For me any boost is good and I’m eager to see how much. Plus maybe the building itself will give a decent amount for total score.

I also agree with you, however much the progress is, it is certainly positive. We will see everything, we will know soon, but I certainly believe that we will benefit from this kind of help. There would have to be some logic, I don't know what it will look like yet, but probably some part will relate to the increase in production with the increase of the building.

I wonder if we'll be able to build more than one Shrine? We'll find out tomorrow.

Good question I think it will be one per town since they said you could switch.. but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

LOL be funny if you could have 6 shrines all dedicated to the same deity.. like imagine a marble town with 6 shrines dedicated to the marble guy.. be some serious mining going on.

Builders be wetting them selves in excitement.

I was thinking more on the lines of one for BM, one for the luxury resource, and one for gold.

Still unclear here as to if you can worship a different God in each town. Only states 1 God at a time for 1 city. So if we can worship one God in one city and another in a different city, or if it applies to any city with the shrine for the same God ?

Really wish they'd fall back to how the old tasks worked tho. having a 1 week cooldown for a reward really is counter productive. I don't even bother on my larger accounts anymore as a result. it's a waste as it is now.

I can get 157k resources free every week. That’s over 8 million a year. I’ll take the few seconds at the end of the day to collect the favor.

Yep, me (well, a 2nd account on a different server. About 1.4m total points so far). Freighters excluded from Godly Protection too. I can but assume this is deliberate, though why escapes me. Already we get login bonuses based on number of towns, not total points - I saw the shepherding into playing a certain way even back then.

You kind of missed the point I was making entirely, but ok. You're right free is free, and 157k a week s great when you're big enough to get it. but when you're a small account, the rewards are extremely bad. they should not even be considered rewards at all/ I mean when you're 50k and they're only giving you 500 wood as a reward, quite unrealistic for the rewards to be considered rewards, adding a week cooldown to that.. see what I am getting at ? this rewards system worked better and was more beneficial as a rewards system when there was no cooldown and when the rewards themselves were refreshed daily. THIS is what I was alluding to with my comment.

So when I read some posts regarding that change they made, and that it was a part of "bigger picture" with an update coming soon, and now that it is here.. I just do not see how this Gods of Olympus truly benefits or compliments losing the "daily rewards" actually being "daily rewards", especially with new or lower end account.. given now that we have to "research" these things and players under Godly protection won't benefit at all. Whereas they did with daily rewards.

Which reinforces the view that GF's motto for those of us who have been around since before the first merger... "if it ain't broke...fix and break it"

It's just gone live in Alpha and Beta. Can anyone explain how the dratted thing works?

It seems you can build only one, so choose your host town carefully!

Yeah, but you can bless all your towns at the same time. I think the catch is that the blessings run out faster if you bless more of them (but that is speculation while I'm figuring out how it works).

There is an option to buy blessing for up to two weeks with ambrosia if you don't want to deal with daily tasks.

If i can finde anything usefull to this update is actually the increased production of wine and gold.

Especially gold, since i am in great, very huge need of it atm.
