Topic: A Guide to Sovereignty Posted: 11 Oct 2011 at 01:16 |
Somebody straighten me out here... I notice now that I can only build 20 sov structures from any one city. Are structure upgrades considered new structures? Why, when I'm trying level up to a level 2 farmstead, does it now say "You have already built 20 structures on this town's Sovereign squares, and your Sovereign technology level only allows you to build 20." ? Also, why allow up to 100 sov squares with the new tech. when only 20 structures are allowed? Thanks in advance. Kelis

Hardly at all. There are some minor changes to be made but the information is still solid... I've added it to the list of forum/alliance guides that need changing/updating. Expect it soon (TM).

Here's my take on it:
If a Chancery of Estates building has not been built, the only change is to the name of some of the researches. If a Chancery building has been built, the cost of maintaining level 1 sov is slightly reduced.
The rest of the guide stands -- it is now a guide mostly to claiming sov for economic reasons. The new building opens up political and/or diplomatic (as in diplo units) reasons to claim sov but does not generally affect economic sovereignty.

If you're in a populated area, I'd claim Sov I on important nearby plots as soon as possible, but stop there. The time to start building substantial claims is after you've started maintaining significant military troops and before you start pushing up against bottlenecks that you intend to relax with sovereignty (such as food production limits or livestock production).

Thank you for the information but what if your more of a trader than military type?

I have yet to see an answer on this so I will ask, WHEN is a good time to start a sovereignty square?

The base of 5% does not exist for basic resource. But advanced resource sovereignty structures take extra upkeep in the form of resources.

Yep, I was saying that formula does work, but it's not proper, if you look at the description for a plot, you'll see the Sovereign Structure Bonus under the resource tile distribution. This section shows % per Structure Level for each Resource, and says that all others are 5%. Below this list is where you see the additional bonus for a specific structure (or none). So, the current formula does work, however the proper formula should be Structure Level x (Plot Bonus + Additional Bonus) for any Sovereign calculations (Resource or Production) Most plots have an additional bonus for some specific structure, however there are currently no additional bonuses for Research Structures (so we use 0 as Additional Bonus for Research, plots that have no Additional Bonus and Structures that do not match the Additional Bonus).
