I really don’t know what the new update will look like exactly, but I swear that what I’m reading so far is making me feel uncertain. I calculated that even though I already have a pretty strong account, building the 16th city requires an absurd amount of time—talking about a period longer than 15 months, and that’s assuming I stay online, don’t go into vacation mode, and don’t get into long-term wars. If expensive buildings become even more expensive, I honestly think I might give up on ever building the 16th city, and that every city wall of mine will just be a pile of wasted resources. On top of that, the pressure on gold is enormous, especially since the need for gold keeps growing with every new change.

In most of my cities, I have city walls upgraded to the maximum possible level. And I can tell you that when I’m offline, they don’t help much. I simply think it’s not fair for a building that has had so many resources invested in it to lose its purpose. I might be wrong, but for now, I don’t see any advantage to nerfing the walls. If that’s the case, let’s just remove them entirely.

And just one more thing, the total number of points will decrease because the required amount of resources for buildings has changed? I’m not sure if I understood correctly. If that’s the case, I don’t see how that can be good math when those resources have already been spent?

That's right, I have a similar view of the situation. I wouldn’t want a big gap to appear between two skilled warriors after this change, just because one has a stronger account and can upgrade faster. The balance of power could quickly become uneven, which would lead to harassment.

Uhh, I’ve read a lot of comments, and I don’t know what to say. To be honest, some of the upcoming changes scare me a little. So far, Ikariam has been a fairly balanced game—realistically, even a weaker account with a skilled owner had a chance to defend against a much stronger account. Now, I think that won’t be possible anymore because stronger accounts will be able to afford upgrades much faster. I’m not sure how this will affect weaker players and how fair it will be.
Additionally, you mentioned that city walls are now losing their role, and I don’t know how good that is. Offline players already don’t experience much advantage from high walls, and now cities will be even easier to raid. I don’t know, I really don’t. I just hope that the people at Gameforge are reading our comments and will adjust certain things because if some of these changes go live, I don’t think they will have a positive impact on the game.
