Oh Wise One
Actually, they are not, they are much, much worse than that. (I'll quote part of my text there, with the exact numbers)
The real problem is in the amount of space, pop and culture needed to produce a comparable amount of goods. So I'm looking at my factories, all same level, all same boost (700% relics, 100% from the Mountain Halls)
Lvl 27 steel : 3960/3hours on 4x5, 6529 pop, 1690 culture.
Lvl 27 scrolls: 4860/3hours on 4x6, 10968 pop, 3499 culture
Lvl 27 dust : 5040/3hours on 5x5, 13057 pop, 4165 culture
So per square production is 198 : 202,5 : 201.6 which is well within reasonable comparison rates, with T1 being the lowest of the lot.
And the requirements per square are
pop requirement ratio 326,45 : 457 : 522.28, or 1 : 1.40 : 1.60
culture requirement ratio 84,5 : 145,79 : 166,6, or 1 : 1.72 : 1.97
So if we are just looking at the per square requirements, the ratio would be close to something like 2:3:4
In a calculation all variables should be used as input, a factory is much bigger than just its own space.
For a factory to run you need supplies (workshops), workers (houses) and all these buildings need culture, each of these values can be assigned to a certain amount of in game space. as this is the true limiting factor in this game, it all runs around space.
So in any calculation you need to consider the space required for the whole chain that leads up the production nog just a single part of it.
Thats the whole reason the current star system is out of whack, it only considers 1 part (coins and supplies) and ignores everything else.
Also since timon is no longer part of the elvenar team, there is another "mister (or miss) balance", I have a bit more confidence in this person.
Since the problem is now acknowledged and a number has been picked, I am somewhat assuming we will see the math on factories be balanced towards this number for furure chapters. making a more balanced production chain overall instead of what it is.
Instead of we do "something" I hope the will go to the direction of we doing something that makes sense.
