Spending Coins

[Darielle]

First, I did not realize there was such a huge jump in MH capacity in the end game. I'm at the start of ch 16 with a fully upgraded MH and it only holds 46 million. So that means in coming chapters MH capacity will nearly triple. Wow!

Second, anything that involves in-game resources such as gold, supplies, or goods is normally scaled to chapter. I would assume this proposal would be the same. So your costs or my costs would almost certainly be higher than a new player's. But your final point about the Coin Rain spells is a good one. I likewise have many of them saved. And I would assume many other late game players do as well. I see tremendous potential there for abuse.

I think there's some kind of error in both of your calculations. My Main Hall is fully maxed (Level 35), I'm in chapter 16, and my coin capacity is 4.6 million coins (4600K), not 46 million. Can you and Enevhar both recheck your figures please?

@Darielle you need to add another zero. I am in chapter 9 and my coin storage is at 13.6 million.

4600K IS 46 million. I think you must have dropped a decimal place when doing your figures.

4600k is (imo) not a good way to write 46m.

It implies(to my American educated brain) 4600 thousands or 4600×1000=4.6m.....I have to remind myself that Europeans dont read it the way I do and just add a zero.

 

[Darielle]

In other words, I'm richer than I thought, lol. Okay, I'll go for that, hehe.

The k is just shorthand for 4 zeros.

i'm finishing ch 16 MH holds 46,000,000

 

[Darielle]

Gotta go, but I'll be back to learn more. That's awesome and so strange to me. Learn something new every day, lol.

i agree with most others. coins are the basic building block of the game. diamonds are bonuses to be worked for, or gained by a little luck and game play, unless you want to open your wallet. they arent required. allowing people to convert basic coins to diamonds would undermine the structure of the entire game.

k short for kilo and it is 1000, so 3 zeros.

 

[Henroo]

1K=1000
46K=46000
460K=460,000
4600K=4,600,000

I don't understand what I'm missing.

I understand now. Everything you say is true. 4,600K is indeed 4.6 million. However the coin capacity of a level 35 MH is 46,000K. That is where the extra decimal place got lost.

3 zeros

So why does it say 4600K in my main hall? That makes no sense.

Look at the number of zeros carefully. Supply capacity is 4,600K. Which is 4.6 million supplies. Coin capacity is 46,000K. Which is 46 million. Another way to verify this is the check out the wholesaler. Buying goods with gold always costs 10% of your Main Hall's capacity. I think you will find they are charging you 4.6 million gold in the wholesaler each time you buy goods.

Oh duh ... now I feel stupid, lol. Sorry ....

It only costs me 6.25% (7.5 million out of 120 million capacity).

How are diamonds not required to advance in the game? Right now I can't upgrade my residences or my town hall without doing more research, which requires spending A LOT of diamonds. If I can't use coins to buy diamonds, and I can't seem to earn them some other way, then I have to spend actual money to buy them in the shop. I get everyone's reluctance, and why it's better than dealing with ads or a huge buy-in at the beginning, but I'd love to use game coins instead of actual money. And I'd also love for someone to explain to me how diamonds aren't required, and how I can keep going without buying them.

Do you have a Blooming Trader's Guild ancient wonder?
