Can someone point out any advantages? From my perspective, this current iteration would ruin my economy which took an age to set up in the first place.
No need for copper, bread or brew at the levels I've got, bronze swords as valuable as pinewood and those chains which I couldn't afford anyway, like iron steel and titanium becoming necessary.
All i can see is a set of loaded die, with no advantages to the player and massive disadvantages.
Unless you spend gems.
I'm not going to spend another twelve months re-working everything I just spent the last twelve months building up.
I'll find something else to waste my time and effort on.
Pity because this is one of the best communities I have come across but if a game can be turned on its head at the whim of the developers to generate revenue then good luck to those of you who stay, guess what's coming next.
