''Aight updated and reached to automatone age upgraded few buildings and done other upgrades as well, the thing is its useless much more than the drone age, first it has no unique troop thing, they all look the same but name still displays, second generals cap became level 110!!!, third still no tactic and coalition upgrade/update, fourth units became captains heavy tank, riftleman etc. and few spearhead mk2 which is confusing?, planes became stronger and more modern, also no update for university and library but most importantly next age is robotic age!! which is madness i think, of course there are 10th house and a new sam battery but some buildings dont get update, like museum, council, roads and walls. tested with my main account which is level 387. one last thing rise of nations had 8 ages that starts from ancient ends in information for me information is and should be the last age you hear about this long upgrade times more often now people also need time discount besides price discount, if not at least just cut the time by half so people can update faster as you see in comments they all mocking the ridiculus upgrade times, some even costs 21 days/3 weeks!!! even if you do this there are still ways to get money from players like troop tactics, legendary artifacts, council leaders and now this manufactory hope someone from BHG reads this because situation is much worse than before.''
here this would summarise better

Quite a sad quote... BHG has run out of imagination and in the future we can only expect an increase in waiting time (in the hope of getting money from the players)? Somehow all this is not fun at all... sometimes I get the impression when I read posts that BHG bought the game, using it, and there is simply no one to refine it and correct errors - there are no developers... there is a crisis of the genre, there are no new ideas...
I would like to believe that this is not the case... otherwise we can safely “close up shop” and not waste time

There's nothing stopping players from doing that now ...
I would like to believe that BHG still cares about this and they care.

I'm sure BHG do care .... mostly about the people who pay - they're the ones more likely to keep going. The ftp players are, by definition, not invested.

The wonder is inside the Manufactory; Automation Age essentially gets two Manufactory buildings in one (double capacity).
It is very impressive - out of all the variety of possible improvements and novelties, to receive a double capacity of the Manufacture - it's really Wonder. The team did a great job! And that's all of a wonders?

That would be great if something fresh & new were added but, from memory, they usually introduce a 2nd stage of upgrades to buildings like airstrip/factory and maybe the walls/gates - just a little 'bone' to keep us busy while they work on the next age.i hope they add new mercenaries and new wonders

They locked some munitions for the lower ages, which is fair enough, but the least they could do is give all ages the 4 assembly slots.

Makes sense to me. Automation improved output productivity. Automated age has higher production capacity of manufactory.
Where I work we almost doubled output over 20 years by increasing automation all while reducing workforce. (Through attrition)

Apparently, they decided that this would be enough... for an entire Age... open twice as many slots in the Manufacture
Are they seriously? This is presented almost like Manna from Heaven... but in fact, they just unlocked 2 more slots... but what about some other innovations of the game? I do not at all expect that the Ark of the Covenant will be lifted up, but... from a development (programming) point of view, this is negligible.
P.S. To avoid discrepancies and misunderstandings. I consider the Manufacture itself to be a very valuable and useful building, an excellent opportunity for improving and strengthening troops.

Personally think they should remove the manufactory for anyone below Automation Age.
Then the manufacture of ammo would be the strictly for auto age players and stop all the crying for more slots.
This will not happen but would be fair. Since the gave such a big cut on everything to help drone and below. Automation got just the 2 extra slots and a slap in face for everything we had to put twice as much into to accomplish.

Yes, sounds like Sega is against the game design idea of new features benefiting multiple Ages (e.g., Manufactory) and would prefer the old paradigm of only working on the newest Age. Personally I think it's great that multiple Ages get benefits, and in this case the last ("new") Age gets a much bigger benefit at release (both in terms of capacity and available munitions).
Not at all! You have completely misunderstood me. I am very much in favor of some things being useful through many Ages. But I’m more in favor of it not being just one thing! It is quite natural and logical that in later Ages you get much more benefits - I wholeheartedly agree with this.
I consider Manufacture generally one of the greatest inventions in the game - when used wisely and skillfully, it provides very powerful advantages - I feel this in practice, believe me. But it alone should not be the only “innovation of the game for all times”; Museum, Council, Library, University, Armory, Manufactory, all buildings, new weapons, innovations etc. - all this together should lead to developments and improvements. Agree, the advent of a new next Age is not the same as “the next day has come”, but it turns out, as far as I understand, that apart from opening 2 slots for Manufactory, there’s nothing special to please with for now.

Mate, lots of us have been playing for 8+ yrs and don't begrudge anyone from getting an advantage just because we didn't. We fully understand where you're coming from but your rhetoric is becoming a little tiring. Live and let live - you'll be a happier person.
Or at least a less grumpy one.
