    Noob most of the time as most of us continue to learn!
    Expert when your island is finely balanced and doesn't rely on buffs to prevent it fully falling apart.....

    I would call 50 bronze weopon noob.. clearly you do not know how to balance an island.

    Like some posts above would love to see a screen shot of 50 level 5 bronze weopons.

    I could take a screenshot, but I deleted 25 of them to have some licenses back for bread chain (wich I just deleted just now).

    I have 3 endless copper mines with half the production time, then the other 3 normal copper mines at level 5, and 25 copper smelters at level 5 also. And around 40 cooking plants.

    The more balanced your island is, the less profitable, and thats why i choose only 1 big chain

    You know you're an expert when you understand why sinking 50 deeds in to a single structure type, leveling them all up to 5, destroying half of them, rebuilding an entirely different chain of structures and leveling those up to 5 doesn't make a more profitable map than a well balanced one.

    Going from level 3 to 5 on the 25 you popped you lost yourself 12500gc, 12500 exotic planks, 7500 granite and 8 days upgrade downtime (200 days total)... If we are generous and use the base production time of 6 mins, your 25 are producing 1250 swords per hour, if we are even more generous and don't factor in the consumption of copper, coal and bronze then you're "profit" on these is 30000 swords per day... Being generous for a third time and using the top sale price on the Newfoundland server of 40gc/k you would be selling your swords for 1200gc "profit" each day. Even using this incredibly generous set of numbers over a month of your productivity from those 25 deeds has been lost to cover the cost of setting them up and destroying them before you see a single gold coin in "profit".

    Either you manage to get your copper, coal and bronze entirely for free, your bronze swords sell for way more than 40gc/k, granite and exotic planks on your server are pretty worthless and I'm no expert or I'm missing something and I'm a noob.

    Funny that as soon as asked they have been "deleted"

    Anyway I would still love to see a picture of 25, I think 8 is perfect and I do adventures every single day.

    I am not from your server so cant really comment but I am sure your prices pretty much match ours.. bronze weopons are not a good chain to sink your licenses, space into, there are better things that are more profitable.

    You have just contradicted what you said in the last quote.
