    probably shouldn't hold yer breath for the other 2 science branches. Since it was 'promised' we have MMA's MOD's and drac for generals, what would be the point if we could skill up BHG's to do the same thing or better. As for island science that would mean we get a lot more for less which is probably never gonna happen.

    Maybe a new loot spot have a chance to drop Books is good idea for FT adventures as example, my FT because the players that can play them suffering with Geo and Explorers.

    To be honest i dont mind not skilling generals, as they already got their secifications... but now with scouts and geo's i calculated more than 2 month for a geo, have 10 Jolly and 4 normal geo's.... got 13 scouts and planning to get more... so 4-5 years minimum to skill them with no option of going faster is quite depressing

    I can count on one hand the number of Return to the Bandit's Nests adventures that I have done and whilst I have managed to get a few of my Specialists fully skilled, most of them only have a few manuscripts invested. Despite this, I completely disagree with the assertion that we "need more books".

    Both Geologists and Explorers work perfectly well without any books at all... the skills just make them work a little better. I like the fact that this side of the game is a long term project. Too many aspects of this game are solved with a quick fix available from the Trade Office and/or Merchant Chest.

    Having said that, however, I do agree that not having any form of queue in the Bookbinder is a mistake that really should have been rectified by now, and given the fact that the game already can recognise the required cost for the next book I see no reason why we shouldn't at least be able to queue up one extra book provided we already have the required materials for it.

    MOre books or let's say...every 50k exp gives you +1 "upgrade point (1)", three-five "upgrade points (1)" give you 1 "upgrade point (2)" etc...

    It seems that BB only decreased drop rates but did not modify the game mechanics to work with lower drop rates.
    Also, how are lower level players supposed to get 100 frozen manors or witch towers with such low drop rates? We are doomed to have lower population limit than those who play longer.

    Isn't that logical? Those who have played longer will (or can) have higher populations?
    Sorry, but I've slept since then...

    There was other mechanics and also the lack of them back then which allowed some but not all the older players to obtain large numbers of those buildings which have nothing to do directly with drop rates.

    Players back then worked to get those witch towers which back then were the most desirable population building, and to do that they would have had to work harder than is needed today. But there was a bigger proportion of players running Dark Brotherhood back then than there is now, this means on a per player basis more witch towers were entering the market.
    You also have to consider the fact that back then there was no xp gain after level 50, there was no star coins to be earned, so many players sat there with unopened loot mails waiting for something to be implemented in game they could use the xp on. When we got star coins those loot mails were opened as a result those who had sat on their mails not only had big star coin buying power but they also had a big boost to the resources they had which they could now use and in some cases a lot of witch towers.
    As it turned out Frozen Manors came along and they was in a position to spend big in acquiring them.
    When it comes to Gene pools and shallow ends they can be found at the bar drinking pina colada's

    With the new level 50+ guild quests what we are asking for is not going to do the job, we now need a intelligent queue. Not just one where we can move a book to the top of the queue to be built but one were we can have it replace the book currently being made.

    It would be logical if the newer players had the same possibilities. They play for longer so they got more money and more loot which means more pop buildings. So let's say they were able to get 20-30 witch towers in 2 years but now they lowered and it's possible to get 1 or 2 witch towers in 1 year.
    I did more than 300 black knights and only got 1 dark castle for example...

    Production queue for Bookbinder

    Could the Bookbinder also have a production queue like Provision House and Barracks please? I would like to book 5 or 6 Manuscripts after my Tome or Codex.
