It is not really a question but a remark
I'm playing in an old server (2008) and I've donate more than 600 000k wood in mines.
I've simulated which level will be my mines after the fusion if I will place my cities in 4 islands and if I will donate the same amount for each city.
The result is a (clear) underestimation of the ressources lost without helping hands etc (depends of too many factors).
Without the donation of other players, I will lost each month :
100 000 wood
400 000 sulphur
500 000 wine
400 000 marble
100 000 crystal
There is one issue in the game : Players don't produce enough ressources in comparison of their needs.
The new building with gods was created to help us.
Let be honnest, my production of ressources will not be as good as before even after the donation of other players.
The cost to increase mine is too expansive at medium/high levels and players donate before the new buildings because they produced more wood that their needs.
Since this update, it is not the case anymore, and donations decrease
I understand why players in new servers want to go in a whole new server and why it was communicated to the GF.
I perfectly understand that everybody can't be happy with the fusion and the GF have to make choices.
Still, it's hard to swallow.
