Opinions on a set

[SoulsSilhouette]

I have the chess set, I'm in Chapter 15. I'm not sure it's worth the real estate. What does everyone think? I'm ambivalent because of investing so much into getting it. Ya know, it was shiny and new and I just had to have it, but now I'm thinking that the rewards aren't with the space.

Here are the current stats for your set:

	Chapter	Culture	Supplies	Coins	Seeds	Seeds per square	Mana	Mana per square	KP
Abbot	11	1030	11200
Rook	12	1680		213500
Knight	13	1540			910	303
King	14	3700					11000	1833	1

I don't feel like it's worth the space, especially where you are in the game. Two of the bldgs give coins and supplies, neither of which are an issue for me in Ch. 15. In fact, I frequently have to bleed those off buying KP or goods. If you primarily cater, your needs might be higher than mine as a fighter though. The Knight looks like a good seed producer, and the same can be said for the King and mana, if you look at their production per square based solely on their individual bldg size, as I did above. However, since you *need* the other 2 bldgs to get the link bonuses, the set is actually taking up 16 squares, significantly dropping the efficiency. If you calculate it that way, you're only getting 56 seeds and 687 mana per square. (This is just how I look at it based on the lack of value I feel those other 2 bldgs provide for my playstyle.) If you brought them up to Ch. 15 it would look a tiny bit better, but that would require more expense recrafting them or using RR's, and I would still say it's not worth it.

It is really cool looking and I can totally understand keeping it just for that. I always enjoying seeing it in other player's cities.

I keep the set in my inventory, to get it out of the way of military buildings showing up to craft, but I have not had it out in my city since maybe chapter 12 or 13, and I am in 20 now. The main exception I see to using it is if someone were early in chapter 9 or 11 and wanted it for the mana and/or seeds. It is too bad that one of the pieces does not give orcs.

I would toss it, and if you change your mind in a later chapter re-crafting it is much cheaper than teleports+RR spells

Thanks everyone. It shall be removed from my city. I won't waste the teleports. I don't have an issue with mana or seeds. Coins and supplies, I always need, but I have those covered elsewhere.

I appreciate the feedback.
