Coming: Fairy productions require Crafted (T2) goods

[DeletedUser627]

The March episode release shows some cool points. One point to know now is that the two new Fairy manufactories require Crafted goods, coins, and supplies in order to make the new Fairy goods.

This is a significant departure from the Dwarven race, where Granite and Copper didn't require any existing city goods, coins, or supplies. I'm not complaining - yet ...but I do find the following interesting (from weeks ago):

Which is precisely why I'm stocking up on tier 2 goods. I think it's VERY likely that the next guest race will have an appetite for Crystal, Scrolls, and Silk.

Many of us can see trends in development, but I find it increasingly UNLIKELY that he can -and does - predict random new developments that have no precedent.

Let's consider that a bit further:

• The Human/Fairy Ancient Wonders required Elixir/Magic Dust/Gems
• The Dwarven Ancient Wonders required Marble/Steel/Planks
• The Fairy Ancient Wonders are going to require _______

In FoE, the Manufacturing Buildings for the past few eras have all required secondary goods.

You merely have to look at the game as a business/manufacturing/distribution system, which I've been doing for 40 years as a supply chain consultant.

• Is the system balanced and efficient?
• What's a simple version of something that can easily become more elaborate?
• How does it compare to other, similar system?
• What's worth changing, and what's good enough?
• What can be "fixed" and what has to be thrown out and replaced?

Then you have to allow for emergent properties that NOBODY anticipated, and add metrics so that they won't sneak up on you again.

If you carefully read the https://legal.innogames.com/portal/us/privacy statememt that's at the bottom of the log-in page, it's very nearly a symposium about how InnoGames porfiles it's customer base, and the in-game activities of those customers.

Once you understand WHAT they are looking at, the why of it all becomes more obvious.

Obfuscation and/or error - the Wonders require Relics and few goods; not enough for you to have described it as "appetite" for goods.

the Wonders require Relics and few goods

• Then look at how far you can LEVEL which buildings. Marble/Steel/Planks can go to level 19, for the Dwarves.

• Silk and Crystal seems sort of obvious for Fairies.

There are plenty of hints lying about, if you're willing to pay attention. Look at the tech tree.

• I & IIa = Marble/Steel/Planks
• IIb & IIIa = Crystal/Scrolls/Silk
• IIIb & IVa = Elixir/Magic Dust/Gems
  .
• IVb = Marble/Steel/Planks
• Va = Crystal/Scrolls/Silk
• Vb = Elixir/Magic Dust/Gems
  .
• VI = Marble/Steel/Planks
  
• VII = ???? Crystal/Scrolls/Silk (just probably?)

That's a VERY strong pattern.

Well he had a 1 in 3 shot.

His followup post about the tech tree is why I was thinking the same thing. They always give you factory upgrades and then ask for a bunch of the newly available goods.
