Of course I hope it is, but I honestly don't think so. Have my fingers crossed though! ------------- Selissa Proud member of Curse of the Wolves I'm an angel, honest! The horns are just there to keep the halo straight! |

I am really the first peson with enough confidence in the dev team to just say "yes"? From what I've seen so far the propose rules changes regarding tax/food will be an excellent step toward increasing the viability of 5/6 food city tiles... while at the time time massively reducing the redundancy of the 4 basic resources, and also breathing new life into the tax slider... there will potentially be much more to benefit from adjusting the slider and sov builings depending on your current military/political/tournament status. And we get new buildings on top of all this? Yes of couse I think they will be worth waiting for. |

aww, so you have to rebuild some buildings to move a town somewhere nice? You poor thing. At least you will get the opportunity to move... better that than being stuck in the same old spot forever. |

If the history of Illy release has taught us anything its that its normally worth waiting for, BUT.... We all know the real reason that the release hasn't been done yet is that they're waiting for delivery of 40k gallons of Red Bull. I think it was SC who said a long time ago that they can test things till their fingers bleed, but there is no test better than putting something live to expose all the bugs (remember the fiasco with the current user interface). Once TC is Red Bulled up and able to function for 7 consecutive days without sleep to repair any problems that arise I'm sure the release will come. The wait for the release will be worth it, but we'll probably have to wait a week after it goes live for it all to work properly... I have the utmost faith in the devs to get us bouncing up and down again with excitement and new toys to play with (and TC bouncing up and down from excessive caffine).  Roll on the release!  ------------- Doesn't look good... doesn't look bad either! "Manananananananananan, so long Sir, and thanks for all the fish." ~ St.Jude |

uhm, it all depends what you mean with worth waiting for. From my POW, you can do nothing else but wait and it in the end it will be implemented want it or not, so it's not a matter of being worth or not since there is no choice. ------------- Eréc of Caer Uisc King of Dyfneint Indomiti Alliance |

There is also a question of whether you are waiting or not.  I am waiting for the new buildings, increasing my basic production and checking the forum and the Herald every now and then. Someone else may not be bothering much about it now. On the other hand, I am not at all waiting for the city movement changes since i dont plan to move any cities as of now. Many other people are waiting for that eagerly. For me, I believe the wait will be worth every second!

So most of the new buildings are out. I have to say I was VERY disappointed especially about the Chancery of Estate that is totally useless. The troops buildings are useful. The thief one could be useful for a player that have loads of thieves. Assassins/scouts/spies/saboteurs: useless Geomasters retreat: Usefull if you have 5-6 cities within range of one building Runemaster: Cant see the usefullness (maybe because I'm never attacked) Jungle/desert/arctic: Might be useful if you decide to only fight in one biosphere but who want to be limited by that ? FOREIGN OFFICE: really ? what is the use for that one. Range: not out Exp: not out So for me I have built 1 of the new buildings in every city and 2 in one of them. /me going into hibernation again  -------------

Chancery of Estates: Jury is still out on this building for me, I am conducting tests with this building min/maxing population/production/recruitment. I agree with your assessment of the diplomat upkeep buildings for now. As the game progresses, the various diplomat unit's worth might fluctuate dramatically. Right now, theft is both easy and more or less anonymous. I am working on bringing most of my cities within range to make full use of a geomancer's retreat. I see the Runemaster as an insurance policy/gamble. For me, I will invest in making it as painful as possible for bandits and thugs. The only biome I see as useful would be the jungle: I have seen no desert or arctic / biome squares that will make up the extra 40% number of troops one can have when one settles on a square not considered arctic or desert. Foreign Office: is more beneficial the more you are physically on Illyriad in that it will allow you a greater response time if you fall under attack by diplomats. Once again, more of an insurance policy/gamble that is up to an individuals play style. Overall, I do not believe the buildings provided as big a change in the game play as I initially hoped.
