scholarships vs scholars

The whole idea that you need 2 scholarships to get a second scholar, and a total of 6 to get 3 is stupid. Ridiculously stupid. Who thought up that idea? They need a spanking.

What a waste of time and resources, and a foolish way to arbitrarily remove elements of realism from the game for no particular purpose. If you get a scholarship you get a scholarship, you don't need to find three if you are the third student at university. How stupid. Thumbs down.

This is seriously making me consider not playing this game anymore, and I only just started.

You just started... Key words... So what I think your saying is 1 scholarship = 1 scholar... What would happen when a player like me with well over 1000 scholarships get involved? I would have currently 968 scholars on that world... Once you get past the grind of the first few cities scholars are easy I get atleast 3 a day all of which need over 30 scholarships and it isn't hard you just need to farm and manage resources having a 1:1 scholar/scholarships ratio would just be a dumb Idea and will never ever even be considered a possibility in 150 years...

Good way to break it down Crypto. Without the progressive scholarship requirement, big players would rule the worlds with ease.

Good explanation Crypto. Yeah. Once you past the first few cities, resources will be no issue. And the progressive is to hinder bigger players

Scholarships are staying in line with your cities. With scholars you cap new cities, meaning more resources. So, the number of scholarships needed for new scholar goes up in the same line your resources come in. Crypto explained quite well.
