you made again ballis the best units in the game...hush

Thtats good, ballis are my favourites

mine too....but I thought the reason for the changes is to make the game more balanced

Ok you can have a lot of ballis running around ... but will you have the resources to pump them all out at 10 pop stacks

Why would you need troops at all with this system?? Lots of comms will do it

what's the limit of points that can be stored in a barrack?

tito...if you think ballis are expensive go for marks

I never have used marks in camps, ballis with +30 and a the comm bonus does the trick just fine

And i believe the barracks limit is 800? at least it was when i tested it in the training game

Did anyone notice that, since Req lowered the troop heath, the balance between troops has changed? I mean, it used to be spears health was 2/3 of a scouts, not its 3/4...a significant boost. Perhaps this will even things up a bit.

how about damaged barracks...they produce the same amount of points or not?

The ammount of points generated is lowered with damage to the barracks

Are you sure? I've just seen this turn 10pop scouts pop upped from a half damaged barrack...after that barrack pop upped 10 spears & 10 scouts in the last 2 turns(when it was 100% healthy)? how is this possible? it shouldn't have more that 40 points this turn, I think.

what's the formula then?

They do not produce the same ammount of points, but remember the barracks store points already collected so you can still pop out fresh troops

exactly.

the formula is simple.. 50 Points x HEALTH % + any bonuses from techs.

So if the Barracks health is at 80%, it gets 80% of 50 = 40 points per turn, plus any techs.

Laur look at your military page, it lists how many points each barricks is producing.

Hey Req, with all of this time you have spent on the Game the least we expect is to see some current pictures of Queen Heidi!

Is there no map on turn 0?

You should get a map button when your first turn is ready which occurred for me in a 1T/day game at the regular game tick-time at 2am est.
