No it's only 9 x 9 in the screen shot.
Updates have always been on Wednesdays, been that way since before there were tournaments, so they will probably always come in the middle of tournament.Not loving the idea of having a major combat change come during the middle of a tournament. I'd strongly recommend pushing further updates which impact the combat system before the week's tournament starts.
I couldn't imagine doing this and trying to be in the Goldilocks zone!!!
10x10 portal plus the other buildings needed and only a couple more expansions.
Remember that in the goldilocks zone you are gaining more like 5-7 more expansions in this era not 2. You have to count the world map provinces that are expected to be earned. The pain is much greater for those past that point as they are more likely to need to delete buildings. In the zone you can just negotiate/conquer a bit of extra room.
We have also being told guest races are balanced as a % of town space. This is the best race to help figure it out due to no roads so a fixed amount of buildings. I haven't calculated it but it would be possible to determine what space a person in the goldilocks zone should have and what % of space this race will occupy.
No you don't have more flexibility to delete buildings, you need those buildings to negotiate and cater at the higher prices you are facing. Someone in the gz needs less production space than you do because the prices they face are lower. You have more space and they need fewer buildings its actually pretty even.That may be true, but for someone about to start the next chapter I have at least 10 more expansions to being to far out. In theory I have more flexibility to delete buildings than someone who is in the goldilocks zone.
This part is unclear to me. they haven't turned on the larger-but-fewer encounters, yet, but it seems unlikely to me that they would deploy multiple versions of the combat code. I think that if you are using auto-fight, the change shouldn't have a visible impact on combats, because both sides with benefit/suffer about equally. The large difference will be people who fight manually, who will now find themselves up against smarter enemies.the update has not happened yet...as far as I can tell. They are talking about what they are seeing in beta

Thank you for the correctionIt has happened. I was in the middle of a fight when it occurred.
This is what I was looking for, I cleared the rounds I was going to do a bit earlier today. So just assumed that the update had not happened yet when I did not see this change.This part is unclear to me. they haven't turned on the larger-but-fewer encounters
No problem. Just remembered that the best way to check if an update has happened without having to wait for someone's confirmation is to right click anywhere in the game and the first line says the version #. I just did and, yep, version 1.23 all right.Thank you for the correction
If I'm 100 provinces ahead of where I should be for the Sorcs I think that's about 11 expansions. If you are saying I need 372 tiles I'm not sure how I'm at a disadvantage? I have 275 tiles more than someone exactly on pace with the GZ, meaning I need only about 4 more expansions of space to meet the 372 tiles.Its going to be challenging, that is the whole point. Its not going to be easier on people who are past the gz, they need the space they have for increased production...Its not like people past the gz have all this extra unused space in their cities.
This thing takes up 372 tiles. Someone with the exact province count required to exit wood elves will have 69 expansions, this thing will take up 21.5% of their city. For someone 10 expansions beyond that point, this thing will take up a mere 18.84%... leaving someone 10 expansions past that point with less than 3% more room than someone in the GZ.
I would argue that someone outside the GZ is going to have a harder time fitting this in than someone in the GZ, that miserable little 3% is not enough room for them to keep up with the increasing costs of negotiating and catering.
@qaccy, the update has not happened yet...as far as I can tell. They are talking about what they are seeing in beta
Maybe, but they mention it in the 1.23 update post. Hopefully they know what they are talking about.I belive the smarter AI is in 1.25, on beta1 I did notice it was harder.
