There are many "unintended consequences" with this shift,
let me expose just 1 of them....... "imbalancing bldgs (&badges)"
Right now take bldgs that are of the .... Supplies/T1/T2/T3/Mana/(seeds)
variety. CH 1-2 Supplies, CH 3-4 T1, CH 5-6 T2, CH 7-8 T3,
CH 9-10 Mana, CH 11+ Seeds. Most of these bldgs were designed
long ago, and with the old tech tree in mind, and corresponding needs
for catering in the Spire and for Tourn.
As far as I can tell, Inno has --No-- plans to go back to hundreds of,
or all bldgs and re-evaluate/chg the progressions of what bldgs give.
Why does this matter, well remember the discussions o the glut of T3
goods in the markets..... This mainly is due to how and how many bldgs
give T3, and to whom and when. This will further consolidate what ppl
are getting, and what they can't get anymore.....
We can already see the confusion and "FUBARness" of just merging
the tech trees .... I have heard ppl are moved to CH5 if they are <CH4,
and to CH6 if they are CH5...
.... I mean seriously, the only......
thats right the ONLY logical thing to do is to apply Any completed
research to the new tree, while leaving open/not done Any research
that is not completed.... This allows the player to still avoid any
optional researches they see fit, it allows them to play thru as they
see fit....... Not to be arbitrarilly be moved and researches filled....
I think this whole issue has been poorly thought out and implemented.
