Wow a veritable plethora of riches!! Thanks, all you you, for your feedback. I did go ahead and print out Soggy's "spoiler" hijack.

GA for population is incredibly weak in the early chapters. Some players recommend placing it asap regardless, personally I don't. But from about chapter 5 onwards it is going to shine in terms of population and only gets more powerful. As you have noticed above it is proportional population, so even if you left it at level 1 it gets higher as your town gets bigger.

It's great because

• You get is early, so you do have a place to put you KP if you have no other place to go so those arent "lost"
• It's by far the smalles wonder (9 sq), this impedes your already little town the least.

And yes the stats in the beginning when your town is small are abyssmal. but your city grows fast in the beginning and so does the golden abyss.
I therefore see no reason to delay that wonder for lets say 2-3 chapters.

@satchmo33 Just for reference, you can edit posts to correct typos if you wish. : )

Saw that maze is deemed as not. Valuable. isnt the mana decay reduction worth it? It is a 5x5 I think so that would free up a lot of space if I dump it. Seem to be needing mana less and seeds more so would get something that provides the latter

At the same time you unlock the maze you also unlock the dragon abbey, if you can get a good amount of levels on the abbey you essentially get "mana on demend" negating mana decay altogether.

Well I was just thinking to free the space. I have mana sawmills and other junk if I just want a mana creator. I seem to now need mana less and seeds more

I never built the Maze, but I built the Abbey right away, and I have been good on mana between that and regular mana-producing buildings. There is also the AW that does the same reduction of decay for seeds, so building that once you can helps too. I found as I went through chapters 12-15 that mana and seeds were not huge problems, rather it was keeping up with the sentient goods needs and the orc needs. The amount of orcs can get ridiculous.

As for mana and seed-producing buildings, I have a personal dislike for any building that is full in less than 12 hours, especially the ones that are full in six hours or less. I hate the idea of it sitting there not making any more while I sleep or am at work or something, so if there is an option for something that takes at least 12 hours before it is full and stops generating, I go with that.

 

[satchmo33]

Sorry Enevhar Aldarion, I disagree with your proposal of making all mana/seed producing buildings to be 12-hour productions only. This is a bit ludicrous.....if you can't get to the game to collect the goods....well, that's just that. Don't penalize the rest of us to suit your schedule. (...stamping my little foot and pouting......) ;-)

I didn't see where @Enevhar Aldarion made any such proposal. If I missed it, please point it out to me. I did see where he spoke about his own personal preferences, but that surely cannot be the comment you are referring to. In that comment he used the word 'I' 4 times in 3 lines of a paragraph explaining his own preferences that impact the value of mana-related AW's for him.

Wow, you cannot read. I said I do not ever use those buildings. Nothing else.

Yeah, I prefer mana/seed buildings that are 12+ hour productions. Also I have a strong preference for buildings that let you early collect.

I do have a couple seed buildings that are 24 hours with no early collect, though over time I'll miss some collections.

I'm sorry, Enevhar Aldarion - I DID mis-interpret what you wrote.

I politely disagree that Golden Abyss is worth placing. I am just about to start researching Superior Residences (as a human) and space will become at a premium (like it never is). Maxxed out it gives 47 pop a square which I will achieve by fully leveling my superior residences and then the houses outpace the wonder. But the effort it takes to fully level the wonder is far greater than that of leveling my houses.
I built it as it was the first wonder I completed the circle for and wanted to check it out. I am strongly considering selling it as I don’t see the upside in keeping it (aside from the ranking points which really don’t matter)

I love love love my GA. The pop per square is better than a house at my level (orcs), and I like the fact that I don't have to rearrange constantly just to keep up with the changed shape. It certainly works for me, in addition to the good coinage.

I totally agree. Although I think it might have been mis-named. Instead of Golden Abyss, they should have called it Population Abyss. That would be more accurate. LOL

Nothing attracts people more than a gold rush.

 

[DeletedUser7791]

My Golden Abyss provides me 83,909 population. It will get more useful to you the longer you have it. As for waiting, tournament focused cities get tech locked more and can dump some KP into their own AW or in a KP pool in the Fellowship.

The highest magic residence (so far) is 5X4 and "only" 13,000 pop

Thanks very much. Thanks to SOGGY, too, for writing it. I totally trust his opinion on all things. Soggy, why is the sky blue? Should I marry that guy who's just out of prison for wife beating?

Lol
