    Just one other small suggestion, I don't know how random the trader deals are but they could sometimes do with a little work. Of course there will always be deals you don't want and ive had quite a few great deals I was very happy with but sometimes they seem a bit terrible.

    I had the trader offered me +1 stone for +1 ore or similar deals, although very rarely.

    Population config - 19%army

    My model for maximising wonder workers.

    Population = X
    X64.67% = Farmers
    X19% = Army (Divided between soldiers, archers, knights)
    X6.81% = Loggers
    X7.48% = Miners
    X1.36% = Clerics
    X0.27% = Tanners
    X0.27% = Blacksmiths
    X0.14% = Wonder workers

    Example.
    Population = 80,000 (my current)
    Farmers = 51,736
    Army = 15,200 (Soldiers =13,000, Archers = 2,200)
    Loggers = 5,448
    Miners = 5,984
    Clerics = 1,088
    Tanners = 216
    Blacksmiths = 216
    Wonder Workers = 112

    Days to complete wonder = (100/(X0.14))x11.57

    Example
    1. (100/112)x11.57 = 10.33days - using current
    2. (100/1000)x11.57 = 1.157days - using prediction/target

    Values allow resources to slowly increase
    not an equilibrium.

    Also based on wanting 19% army size. Depends on what you want size you want i just have 15k army so thats what i used.

    Farming population has to be 64.67% of total population to stop starving. 35.33% divided into workers and army depending on priority. Minimum workers to make 1 wonder workers 120 plus army + farmers. Minimum 340 ppl to get 1 wonder worker (no army).

    @ottis

    Food production changes with upgrades (and wonder completion if you choose food, and clan membership), and given that the "available pop." depends on food production (% of people you need to assign as farmers in equilibrium) your data only work for your current food production.


    It actually get better later on basically (more available % of people).


    Also, 19% of pop. as standing army can be reduced when you get knights. I am currently at approx. 240k pop , 30k knight is very safe (only losing 10s of ppl if raided), i am going to test 20k knights later.

    I've been playing off and on but as soon as the game required more waiting than active participation I've started playing less. I'm 5-ish days away from unlocking dragons right now. The only reason I'm as close as I am is I dropped $15ish on gold thanks to having a metric f'ton of Amazon coins, which let me purchase gold.

    But.. As fun as it is when I'm not waiting, I need something to do while I AM waiting for timers. This is especially true since I'm not planning on spending any more money on gold (have about 600g left). I logged in and was able to play an ad to bypass the population timer but it only let me do that once. I would love to be able to play ads to bypass the population timer more often.. even if each ad only reduced it by 10 minutes or something. I'd do multiples if I had to.


    I currently don't see any point in raiding or attacking towns, at least until I have dragons. My population dies far quicker than I can replenish it (fighting countries where everyone has dragons now).. which results in 2 or 3 minutes of playing and then an hour+ of waiting.


    I am limited by the timers more than anything else. Resource production doesn't matter anymore because it takes so long to build new buildings.


    I also see no point in being in a clan since the 20% resource bonus is near useless because, due to the length of timers, I can cap all of my resources long before I'm able to spend them again. There's no way I'm getting into one of the top 3 clans since they're full already and being in Clan #4 - #99999 doesn't benefit the player any.


    Maybe add a way to resurrect people after each fight? Add the ability to clerics or something? I don't know. I just feel like all I'm doing now is waiting for population.

    edit: I also have no idea what raising my nation through clicking is doing. I'm about to be a State.
    ::
    TL;DR: I need something else to do while I'm waiting for my timers to replenish. Give me a reason to have the game open and to be playing it, other than simply waiting for stuff to happen so I can play for 2 or 3 minutes and then idle for hours to replenish my units.

    This. 1000x this. Im not leaving my phone open just for the sake of generating resources when there's nothing else to do, that's asinine. My wood and stone are maxed out, and my food maxes out if I leave it open while my population builds. It was suggested that I build wonder, but after 2 days I'm at 9%, and by my calculations with 1000 labourers it'll take 27 hours of keeping my phone open doing nothing to get to 100%. I can't even support 1000 long term though, I don't make enough ore and herbs. Without dragons, attacking is a waste of time. Never mind losing all my troops in battle when the phone rings. Seriously, that's a major, build-breaking design flaw.

    I hate to say it, but without tuning or something, I'm done. It's a shame, because I LOVE these types of games. I put so many hours into the NimbleBit games and the BitCoin clicker (what was the name again?), but without advancement of the game while I'm not actively playing, this one doesn't compete. Hopefully these issues will be addressed in subsequent updates, but I'm probably not going to be around to see them.

    Exactly.


    Maybe let me funnel excess resource production into reducing the timers or something? For the majority of the time I play, my resources are capped waiting for a timer to clear so I can spend them on something.

    Ehm you are supposed to click while you wait for the timers. It's a clicker game. Basically, put everything on timer EXCEPT what you need the most, and click that. That usually means population but not necessarily. For example i once clicked 10k temples because i needed them (after i discovered that you need 100M piety + whatever you spend for knights and dragons to complete a Wonder, and you can store that anytime).


    I really don't understand what you want more from the game, given that u can always click for something you need when you have time to waste.

    If I could click WHILE the timers were going down, I'd be slightly happier. If I could increase the gain per click I might be more inclined to do so.. but 1 at a time is just insane when you're needing tens of thousands of some resource. Makes me wish I installed it on my desktop so I could use an autoclicker. The mechanics of this game are much more idle oriented than clicker. None of the upgrades that modify clicking really do much of anything useful 'cuz by the time you get them, you're making FAR more by idling.

    It's also fairly frustrating that it takes ~2 hours to build one dragon where every other object/unit in the game, when building 1, takes 0 time. It feels like the only way to progress at a decent rate is by spending money since gold can't really be obtained in-game, unless the trader blesses you..but that's only 5 a pop.

    1k wonder workers
    1.6k tanners
    1.6k blacksmiths
    450 healers
    8000 clerics
    50000 loggers
    50000 miners
    140k farmers

    In 6 hours it did 20%ish. I ran 0 army and just let the wolves, bandits, raiders have at it. The overnight 6 hours I probably only lost 5000 people and whatever buildings. I had 20k extra people and I put 10k each extra in log/mines, when I woke up I pulled everyone off logs/mines (120k) and threw them all on wonder. They drained my excess resources in like 20 seconds and gave me 5%

    Thanks ahfusim :). Would you mind rephrasing that question? I'm not totally sure what you mean.


    Glad you like it!


    This, but pretend I said it a bit more gently ;). For anyone who doesn't want to spend as much time in a managerial phase, keep up with your Wonder and then prestige. That's the flow of the game. It starts simple, becomes more active, transitions into idle/management, and then you prestige. There's a phase for everyone, and there are techniques to drag out any individual phase depending on which style you prefer.

    There is a glitch. If you click on the REVIEW THE GAME link in the menu and then just load the game back up, you get 20 gold.

    This can be repeated an unlimited number of times.

    Thought the devs would like to know.

    We've heard this from a few people but it's not universal and we haven't been able to recreate it on any devices.

    Honestly, we really don't appreciate you posting this here publicly with the admitted intention of altering other players. It would have been more appropriate to send a PM, email us, or at least address it more subtly as we have seen from some respectful TA users :)

    Been thoroughly enjoying this and I've got to the stage where I'm trying to build a wonder but I can't seem to generate any ore.... I've removed all my blacksmiths but ore just still keeps getting converted to metal, and I'm still seeing the message that production on my wonder is limited due to lack of ore.

    Can anyone help please, am I missing something or doing something wrong?

    Thanks in advance
