I am sooooo looking forward to getting one!That owl is adorable.
I mean, someone had to say it.
Stinking adorable.
I am not disputing you. I am just wondering how total efficiency on a hybrid building is calculated. It seems it give lots of population but not that much culture. I assume this is considered better than a building which gives lots of culture but not much population? Is there a formula or anything like that to calculate efficiency of these buildings?he Goblin Gift Shop, the best per square pop&culture hybrid ever offered! It comes out on day 9 (and hopefully again later) If you have all possible quests caught up by that time you are guaranteed 8 of them with a realistic expectation of 10-12.
I'm just looking at the available information on the winter event. I think the new evolving building doesn't seem particularly useful in comparison towards the Witches Hut. It's the only other evolving building that I really have to compare for personal experience:
New building gives a small amount of Culture/Population: Not really worth the space it takes imo.
Also 4x4.
About 2x the Supplies of Witches Hut. Suppose this is nice if you have an issue with this.
Tier 1 Goods. The amount it gives is I guess decent and it can be accentuated by feeding it Pet Food.
Just for the supplies and the goods though. Unsure if it's really worth taking up a 4x4 space in a city. If it had comparable culture boost towards Witches Hut I think it would be worth the space.
Hut at least gives decent culture, knowledge points, troops, and supplies.
Culture is useful to keep city balance.
KP is always useful for advancement in the game. Even if your blocked at a point it can be invested in wonders.
Troops are great for free fodder towards tournaments and spire.
And supplies are probably the least useful contribution that the hut gives. I think if you have a good balance of workshops to other buildings you normally sit in a surplus.
To be honest, I just use pop per square and give culture a value of zero.I am not disputing you. I am just wondering how total efficiency on a hybrid building is calculated.

I have a catering city so the watchful winter owl is actually pretty sweet for my build.I'm aware that numbers may not be final, but I don't see the point other than aesthetic in using this building in a city unless you have nothing else to take it's place but I think you could very easily leave this out in any city. Would like to see this building give a bit more culture to at least make it semi-decent in utilizing.
This doesn't sound right to me. Why would you compare a new building to your best culture? That's not what you would replace.I calculate the per square production of my highest culture building(lava codex 2×2 @ 115 culture per square)
The lava codex is in the MA, by the end of the chapter it is my only pure culture. With the exception of some 2x1s and singles here and there.Why would you compare a new building to your best culture?
Don't be so sure, they jump almost 100% in efficiency at that point.In what chapter does it become equivalent to a housing building? Past 9? Before that it's woefully short of a housing building and I haven't looked at the housing available at 9+ but I'm sure it's scales equally bad.
The Goblin?In what chapter does it become equivalent to a housing building?
So its all about a single daily bldg for this whole event? And if it's that good How long till it gets the Nerf?
It's the best new pop&culture hybrid, which is for my playstyle the most efficient building type, so that's what every event is about for me.So its all about a single daily bldg for this whole event? And if it's that good How long till it gets the Nerf?
In chapter 5 the goblin gift shop provides slightly more population than a house.In what chapter does it become equivalent to a housing building
In chapter 5 it provides slightly more population than a house.
