Recovering from odd ... bug.

[Emory62]

I cannot decide whether or not to be amused. Inno has asked what they can do to "help".

I have no idea what their customer support people CAN do - I assume that setting my research tree back to CH III would not be possible. I'm also assuming that they cannot just upgrade all my buildings to the appropriate level.

I have asked, instead, for coin rains, supply windfalls, time boosters, and troops. And I pointed out that this still leaves me "short" on runes and relics and spell fragments - but I'm willing to deal with that.

Edit: I specifically did not ask for diamonds because honestly, they'd need to give me something like 20K of them. And they're of limited use when upgrading / building.

Honest question, @Emory62 : Are you doing this more for the challenge or the fun?

If the former, I truly wish you the best of luck. It is the Hard Way (TM), and the accomplishment is applauded.

If the latter, and this may be an unpopular opinion, I would suggest having Support delete the city and make a new one in its place. You will gain the advantages of the story quests (should you choose to complete them, which I recommend) and the flow of the game will be much improved from many aspects.

I second what @Ihrlaen said, and add that I recently started a new city. I was probably playing too much, but with a supportive FS, it is definitely possible to get to chapter 5 in less than 4 weeks. I have no idea how long it would take to crawl out of that mess that your city is in.

But it is a game, so do whatever makes you happy!

I'm actually enjoying the challenge of building the city.

I do get frustrated with hitting the walls in the events. I knew it was going to happen of course. So when I get frustrated, I put the game aside for a bit.

Cheering you on from W world.

As long as your city isn't upgraded far enough there will be lots of walls to hit in events.
I would recommend you to continue upgrading and to not care about the current event that much.

Once your city will be upgraded, events will become easier.

The Spire has given me spell fragments and catalysts for crafting, as well as a few time boosters.

Figuring to cater a few provinces in the upcoming tourney - I prefer to fight, but it's going to be a while before I can get my army rebuilt to CH V levels. The tourney will give me runes for AWs and relics which are never to be despised.

Last but not least, kudos to my fellowship for the lopsided trades they've accepted - which are allowing me to do this.

 

[Emory62]

Have reached an impasse with Inno - which I'm honestly not surprised about.

Their proffered solution was for me to start over on another world, or have them delete my city on Harandar so I could start over there.

I have respectfully declined these "solutions" because (as I said to Inno) they're outrageous.
