What do the two prices on this expansion mean? (see pic)

[DeletedUser2479]

I don't recall seeing this before. Perhaps I just don't remember it, but I doubt it.

I just finished researching a city expansion, and also activated it. I went to place it in my city, but there are two options given to place it (see pic). If I place it, will it charge me both the diamond & coin charge? Or, am I supposed to select an option & place the expansion by clicking either one or the other? I only want to pay for it with coin. So, if I select the button that says "170 k place" will it also charge me a diamond fee?

I'm confused with the two options. In the past, it seems that the only option was placing it with the coin option. I don't want to accidentally be charged diamonds when I can accomplish something with coin only. When I upgrade my MH, I get offered expansions that only cost diamonds, and I've seen that before. However, I don't recall seeing the two prices on a single item.

Can someone please clarify this for me? Thank you.

You can choose to spend diamonds instead of coin if you're feeling impatient

Feeling impatient about what, though? I researched & activated the expansion (#11, in this case). Shouldn't I be able to just place it? I don't understand why the diamond price is there. So, if I go to place it, will I be charged diamonds?

Usually when I research an expansion & activate it, I go to place it and there is only 1 price: the coin price. This is behaving as if something still needs to be done. You can see in this picture that a green checkmark is next to it, meaning it is complete, right? So why is there a diamond price at all?

if you click on the diamonds bar, then you will spend diamonds.
For that particular expansion you can spend either money or diamonds when an expansion is available.

There are three types of expansion:

• Provincial expansions have no additional cost
• Technology Tree expansions require either Coins or Diamonds
• Premium expansions, one per Main Hall level, require Diamonds

There's a nice breakout at https://en.wiki.elvenar.com/index.php?title=Expansions#City_Expansions_Overview

Sorry- I meant that you could pay diamonds if you didn't have the coin handy and didn't care to wait for it to build up. If you have the coin you can choose to spend it or spend diamonds. You can save your virtual money by spending your real money if you so choose.
