Gold/Food re-balance
« Topic Start: April 15, 2013, 10:50:04 PM »
What do you all think of it?  Any significant changes that surprised you?


For me, I was surprised to see Golden Farrow get such a large income boost.   Why did Giask get none?  was that because it isn't finished yet or is it because of all the cities that are close by?

Darfix is now officially the wealthiest city in the entire game. I am surprised it got boosted so much. I wonder why is that so.

The values are based on intrinsic properties of the region itself, and not related to the other regions around it.

I saw my badlands take a moderate hit, mountains take severe hits, but rurals are going to be making food hand over fist. Flowrestown, somehow, almost doubled gold and food.

I'm ok with it, I suppose. City lords are going to be gilded and rural lords are going to be fat. Although I would have rather seen more gold (looks like a mild loss) in Swordfell than the influx of food (a moderate gain).

Gaston is going to take a pretty large hit to its gold income of 35%.... I thought cities weren't suppose to be losing so much money in the region update? Or is it because the Sconomy listed there is 'N/A'?

The dev team is still finalizing the numbers. I will be posting an announcement shortly.

Some things may be changed before the rebalance goes live. Others may be changed in the near future afterwards. At this point, it is the intention of the dev team to see that the game is fun for everyone, no matter what region they belong to. We don't like the idea of a region being useless.

Will max pop change?

I'm not done compiling for D'Hara, but Port Nebel got a nice hike in both values.

Was only Dwilight changed?

How do we know anything was changed? (As a lord I didn't automatically see anything)

Look at region detail pages.

I finished my compilations. D'Hara will be better off overall, the only ones becoming poorer were the ones who were poorer to begin with. I suspect that being coastal (I think it was calculated for food production) helped compensate for the fact that we are mostly cities and townslands. All of our regions are coastal, save for Odona which is river-side.

There are bugs with seeing it.

On Atamara, I can only see my own region, and only immediately after I log-in because I'm standing in it. Other regions in my realm I can't see. I also can't see my own by going to region detail pages.

Barely. Which means it is not the current wealthiest city in the entire game, due to its current population.

In general, no.

However, there are a very few outlier values that we're looking at tweaking max pop to compensate for.

Port Raviel and Port Nebel used to be almost identical, and now Port Nebel is clearly the better city. Any idea how this could be? They are both about the same size, same weather, both coastal, both only adjacent to one townsland by land and 3 cities by sea routes, both with about the same starting gold and food values.
