Forge System seems Wasteful

[Thelonious]

I would like to suggest making the Forge a 5-level building instead of a 20-level building, at least in the 1-level unit upgrades model (which is all I know). You could easily get all the forge's functions split into 5 levels rather than have 15 levels in-between that serve no apparent design purpose whatsoever but to messy the building queue.

I assumed the purpose was to make a lengthy delay until one can build an academy.

Easily achieved in just units of time and resources, rather than units of time, resources, AND levels.

Level 5 Forge = Stable
Level 10 Forge = Workshop
Level 15 Forge = Research Guardians + Ballistas
Level 20 = Academy

Other than any additional requirements, this is pretty much the the whole purpose of forge

The problem as I see with making it a 4 (or 5) level building is that to keep the current costs/time, it would mean the queue would be locked down for a long time.

I'd rather not have a building that costs 30 hrs to build one level (which is approximately the time from 16-20). I much prefer to be able to build it 7-8 hours at a time, with other buildings thrown into the mix as needed.

But again, that's merely my preference.

I ally disagree with you dude. It's worth it. Unless you want the forge to cost more. Or less points.

Yeah I'd much much rather have to click it a few extra times as opposed to having a huge wait time taking up the que. it'd be worse than the wait time for having to build an academy everytime you wanted to upgrade it once.

Do a search for this, I've seen this before and I'm sure this was the same conclusion that that that post was brought to as well.

I would not like to try and save up the resources then wait 30 hours for one forge level. Keep it the way it is.
