So, my suggestions are dumb, but the problems are real. How could you reach 1 billion resources with a 20k/h production in One town? You Will wait 5 years for Just One level of One Building? And I dare you to reach such that resources production!
Have you heard of other ways how to gain resources besides mines/sawmill?
Really? I am a 65kk points player that plays from 2008. Piracy? Pillage?
Piracy? I play Piracy (top 5) when rewards was times 11.
Now, 38400 (res guarded al lvl 80) * 5 (warehouses) * 2,75 (1° pos) * 5 (res) = 2,64kk (1 town) which are equivalent to a production of 5 k/h (times 21 days).
Pillage?
Assuming that on an old server, attacking someone nearby is a big problem because, well, we all know each other and help each other build the mines. And without even counting the problem of the possible ban for pushing that I would get by continuously attacking those few cities close to mine. Obviously I have to go to nearby towns in less than an hour because otherwise looting is simply useless.
Assuming 500 ships * 500 resources = 250k per travel.
Assuming one travel per hour and one travel per town (you have 21 towns) = 250k res. per city per day = 10k/h. Let me say 15k/h.
With 20 + 5 + 15 = 40k/h per city you will wait 2 years for just one level of one building.
What am i forgetting? What am I doing wrong? Is this not a problem?
