market prices

[way3sexy]

if i need 500,000 iron and i go forest siege someone and get 500,000 iron but then it's converted to 1,000,000 gold. so i go to market and all i can buy with that gold is 100,000 iron. why not be able to pillage exact resources instead of converting to gold? or at least convert resources to gold using the previous day average market prices. the difference is huge, it's about 5 times.

thats why only the best can make an army and attack players and actually grow .talking about what is harder ,farming or fighting,there is no doubt ,fighting is harder.but u can fight wars ,and war income is not in gold ,its 50% of destroyed points of enemy armies in wood and iron,and that way u skip market if its too expensive to u.

hes right though people would be more inclined to attack if they could cart a way a million iron.

no big battle is ever worth the gold you get or it. most times you would be better of financially doing the calc and just disbanding the army you would loose and selling the resources. then at least you will get the villagers back.


but thats not much fun is it frag. a few small tweeks to this game would make it more battle oriented i think.

what if you got your morale on defence as well as attack. though that might send things the other way. but you could also increase honour to 1 or every 1000 soldiers killed in a battle no mater the side.

i'm going to start an informal poll. i'm asking everyone that reads this post to reply and choose one of the following options:

1- convert all pillaged resources to gold at current prices: 0.5 lumber, 1 stone and 2 iron.(current system)

2- convert all pillaged resources to gold at average market prices calculated from the previous day.

3- don't convert pillaged resources to gold, just let the troops carry everything home.
[size=15ptthere's no logic in getting only 1 iron for every 5 seized in battle 5][/size][/b]

i ask everyone yhat reads this post to reply. i really want to know your opinions.

talked 1000 times about that on forum.not gonna happen.ever . and convert rate for iron is 2.5 not 2

another poll with no number 4 - leave it as is (and abandon the market sytem altogether)
