same here, brilliant idea
Mines are only thing that keeps me coming every day. If You take that away, there is no point to come every day. Not to mention that refills will become worthless. What will be the next suggestion, automatic geologists? Unlimited build queue? Game that plays itself?
If you are struggling with mines/wheatfields/wells, perhaps you've built more farms/bakeries/iron smelters/steel smelters than you are capable of sustaining?
I see a lot of under level 40 players with unbuffed iron mines/coal mines/iron smelters/steel smelters/weapon smiths. You need to make the island that you can bear with maintaining. And if you can't be bothered with buffs, don't run the iron smelter etc. Sell the iron ore and coal you are mining to higher level players that will buff those buildings. You'll get plenty of gold coins that you can use to buy weapons.
Over time, you are able to add watermills/silos/recyclers that save a lot of the tedium.
I don't try to keep all the iron mines constantly built. I stick to about 5, and I don't run my iron weaponsmiths all of the time. When I do run them, they are buffed. Same for the smelters.
Learn to sleep the high end weapons buildings and smelters. Don't build so many farms! Use buffs!
(Obviously, this is not to you bluesavannah or anyone over level 50.)
excellent advice, always set your Island to what you can manage. If it's a choir to play your doing something wrong.Quote:

Not sure they asked for harder and slower, just new. What they asked for/wanted and what they got aren't necessarily the same things.Quote:

games is business and must be profitable.
also all this stuff we can get in game for free, if you have enough patience.
i just wait for next suggestion, gem pit for gc/granite/beans. will be 10 pages +1, but that is bad for game
+1 for Geordies suggestion, that's brilliant :). As long as you do not have to present to have the most glorious work to put a mine there every 5 minutes.
I found this, admittedly a year was optomisticQuote:

Just goes to show that you should be careful what you wish for! ;)
...and -1 to the original suggestion for much the same reasons as Brayarg, Corona, etc.
Wow there is a blast from the past lol.
Dug that one out the archive ☺

wait times in this game are already the dumbest idea ive ever see in any game.. gens moving to attack, gens travel times to adv , geo search times , build times etc etc
BB no one wants to wait for things that if you guys were smart sadly seems like you are not, if you were smart you could have made a great game with a few simple things here is one of them. less wait times all round
your game already bores players why would you want to make it even more boring for a player with long wait times? makes no sense
I can see why then you will stop playing it.Quote:

It would be logical if you would change to a format better suited to your patience level instead of criticizing what others have played for years and enjoy.
i prob will stop soon but not because of what you assume in your reply, nice try though! keep trying fanboy
this game has no strategy at all if you think that you are just fooling yourself, ive even heard someone with your like minded call this a RTS that made me lol just as your reply did
this game was made slow if you dont understand why maybe you should use that logical part of your brain you tried so hard to show in your reply
That's the style of this game. So you could play it without sitting behind the computer all day. If you want, there's stuff to do for you whole day, but if you can't be so active, you have a chance to be competitive by just logging in once in a while.
You can compare it with manager games, where you control football, counterstrike or w/e teams, but this one is about controlling your village.
I am not saying anything about the style of the game. I know it takes patience to get resources, build troops and do adventures and i am not complaining about that. And I'm not saying I want all the iron at once. I just do not see the point in waiting for those mines twice. Once to discover, and once in queue to build them.
but without farms/wells in building queue, how would we get fast mines? ;)
This game ISN'T RTS it is ETS, but there are other names for that genre. I see no reason for this type of game to have strategy. Those who like RTS and don't want to wait should play something else, and not trying to ruin this game for us that like it. If someone doesn't like to aim, one shouldn't play FPS, and not installing auto-aim bots. If You like to throw ball using your hands, play handball or basketball, or make hybrid like rugby or american football, don't ruin football (soccer).
if u want it u have to build it thats the point. these buildings will never be removed and they shouldn't be, its bad for business and bad for all those of us who have invested years/cash so we don't have to rebuild all the time
-1 from me for this suggestion
as for "Duh but the lvl 50's got an expansion they wanted waa waa its not fair" games that don't expand die and ours was so overdue its not funny
Why would we spend gems to buy Building slots if mines and fields (and wells) were not in the queue?
Not to say I don't agree, but a more probable solution would be to add an additional 5-6 purchasable queue slots.
Just curious, did you understand the original suggestion?Quote:

That does make sense, as I bought 8 queue slots and still cannot rebuild my mines in 1 go.
This is not about entitlement, but about having to wait about 1 hour just to restock the queue, then rinse+repeat, becoming even more irritating with wheat fields and wells in the mix.
You have to ask if the philosophy is about making the game fun or irritating for long-term players.
If "irritating" is your choice, then please continue -1.
-1.
If we r thinking about mines and building queue, maybe would be faster. But if it would be faster, you won't buy more queue slots.
Maybe if you have premium the building would be fast.
If players are unhappy with the 11 possible build slots we have now I don't think more would solve it.Quote:

If people don't want to spend gems ... well there are events for that to get silo's? Scratch those wheat fields.
Watermills also available from Guild store or sometimes from an event.
Save up gold to buy one now and then.
Yes you will have to wait making your stuff lvl 6 in that case. (I assume that's what you are spending your in game currency on?)
Only thing I have to rediscover is mines.
And sure I was lazy and spent money but it is still doable with in game currency.
Also schools from events: less wheat needed.
So either you're not thinking ahead very much if you ask me or ... you just want an instant win button for everything
I haven't build a well since balloon event, and can't say when i built any wheatfield. If i can build all my mines in one go, then wouldn't play this game, because i couldn't even finish my coffee during my morning check.
