I'D RATHER BE A HAMMER THAN A NAIL EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY - CHANGES TO BUILDING VALUES AND EFFECTS You may need to change town in order to refresh the values across the board. If you cannot change town, then logging out and back in will refresh the values. Foreign Office The Foreign office effectiveness has been increased and rather than increasing your city's radius of diplomatic visibility and detection by 10% per level of office it is now 30% per level. Diminishing returns still apply for multiple offices. Vault Capacity; also acts as additional storage The vault now serves as both protection and storage, and stacks with the Warehouse and Storehouse. Protection of advanced resources by the Vault remains Vault Level x 10. The capacity of the vault has been tripled at every level:  The vault capacity progression is now as follows:
Storehouse Capacity Increased capacity at every level with increased rate of growth for the first 10 levels. The storehouse has more than doubled in capacity at L20.  The Yellow and Green lines are the Delta (the Rate of Change) and the Delta-Delta (the Rate of Change of the Rate of Change). If this doesn't make sense to you, don't worry! The numbers below are the key thing. The storehouse capacity progression is now as follows:
Library Research Production The library now produces research at a much faster production growth for first 11 levels, using a flat second order derivative and linear first order derivative; continuing at previous production rate at level 12. Basically this means that the line of progression - the amount you increase by with each level - is now much smoother and faster for L1 through L11, as visible in the graph below.  The library's research progression is now as follows:
LIKE... BUTTER SCRAPED OVER TOO MUCH BREAD EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY - CHANGES TO RESOURCE PLOT PRODUCTION Lumberjack, Clay Pit, Iron Mine and Quarry now have much faster production growth for first 9 levels, using a flat second order derivative and linear first order derivative; continuing at previous production rate at level 10. Again, this means that your resource plots from L1 to L9 will produce more than they used to, and will level up in a smoother progression.  The resource plot production progression is now as follows:
WHAT ABOUT ELEVENSES? LUNCHEON? AFTERNOON TEA? EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY - CHANGES TO FARMYARD PLOT PRODUCTION The farmyard now produces food much faster for the first 9 levels, using a flat second order derivative and linear first order derivative; continuing at previous production rate at level 10. See above for explanation!  The farmyard food production is now as follows:

What about advanced resource protection in the vault? Does it now protect 10x3 = 30 advanced resources per level? Or is vault protection for advanced resources equal to that of basic resources? Thanks!

Protection of advanced resources by the Vault remains Vault Level x 10. I've added a note to that effect. Regards, SC

Yes, I can see how this changes city building, and makes decisions less clear-cut about which buildings to keep. Good analytical maths in this design :o] -------------  |

I feel ripped off - having to have done this for 18 cities and not able to take advantage of these new times really stinks. ------------- Comience como usted desean continuar; Begin as you intend to continue.. |

| Well. Congrats khrystle-raine. Now you can take advantage of it for City #11, 12, 13... |

Unless I've missed the announcement somewhere, one of the stealth updates you made here has really improved my life. Formerly whenever I turned on diplomatic visibility if the town that gave visibility over a certain area wasn't visible on the map it would always show as greyed, whether or not it should have, props for fixing that. -------------

Odd, that is still broken for me. For me, it is transparent if I start on the city and navigate away using the map buttons. But if I go to another screen like town map or trade, and return to the map, the diplo radius malfunctions and it turns gray. |

There is a bug with ironmine yields at L9 and L10. Someone mistakenly changed the yield of L10 field to 155, where he should have changed the L9 yield to that value.

Text description error with building. The Foreign Office text still reads "Building a Foreign Office will provide the necessary training and organisation, in order to increase your city's radius of visibility and detection by 10% per level of Office. " and should, of course, now read 30% as mentioned below. Foreign Office The Foreign office effectiveness has been increased and rather than increasing your city's radius of diplomatic visibility and detection by 10% per level of office it is now 30% per level. Diminishing returns still apply for multiple offices. |

All great updates. This should help with new member retention. But...and there is always a but, with or without an extra T. What about caravans? How about an increase in the number of caravans. Or an increase in capacity. Such an update would make it more efficient in supplying multiple new players with the resources needed and thus add to new player retention. |

about caravans, what about setting up a new ability (research?) to move over water? It would encourage exchanges with BL… and perhaps some work over path finding  ? |

| But caravans already move over water with no impediment. |
