Dock's Unique Blessing Rewards

[~Kratos~]

I would like to request bringing back the Wall, Medic, Commerce and Crop Blessings to at least one of the higher Dock levels. These blessings have absolutely no other place to be obtained (Commerce and Crop seems to have been included in video rewards here and there, but Wall/Medic never), thus rendering them unobtainable after you upgrade your dock to lvl 6 in Enlightenment Age (the only age they are available at is medieval). The same can't be said about all of the museum rewards, especially the rewards that are identical in more than one city per dock age... at least one of those could be replaced.

That, or just make them available for purchase in the Temple like all the other blessings. I don't know why they aren't like that in the first place. (none of them are overly powerful)

Right now I'm considering not upgrading beyond lvl5 Dock so I can get some Wall Blessings at some point.

Level 7 Dock is the best one to get Supplies, Benefactors and Researchers. Just sayin...

That's true, but Museum resources aren't worth much as a Dock reward unless you decide to really go for long-term grinding it. And that's just not worth it for the worker-hours cost vs the return, unless you really have nothing else to upgrade already.

For the occasional Dock expeditions when free citizens are available, there could be much better (and.. more) rewards. The full focus on museum makes the Dock even more niche than it was in earlier levels.

I always keep 4 citizens available to do Sellasie and while I'm at it I send citizens on productive expeditions to get useful supplies. I suppose by now for me, it's more of an OCD thing rather than "I need those supplies!" I've been doing this for years and it don't look like imI gonna be stopping anytime soon. Yes, I'm CWA and my Dock is level 7.

this isnt about the museum resources though. its about the stuff they removed in favor of museum rss. they can replace some of the researcher/benefactor rewards in lvl 8-10 docks with stuff like blessings and peace treaties.

and while theyre at it they can replace all the other rewards from the lvl 10 dock because theyre repetitive and also historically nonsensical.

 

[~Kratos~]

Exactly.

Museum focus is perhaps fine every couple of dock levels, then you have a choice to stay there if you really want to grind that. But right now everything above lvl5 is full on museum focused. That makes the building really useless for mostly anyone.

Commerce and Crop Blessings are not relevant for higher Ages . Effects of Wall, Medic can be replaced by good weapon and armor artifact in museum .

Make Dock blessings great again.

I guess I can agree that Commerce and Crop aren't really relevant, I included them mainly for completion purposes, the things that aren't obtainable anywhere else in the game.

But I'll really have to disagee on Wall Blessings, these badboys work not only as a defense improvememt but also as deterrent. During raiding when I see bases with loads of blessings and especially a wall blessing, I will press next, plain and simple. Sometimes without even looking at the layout.

(plus there is no museum artifacts for wall HP, to my knowledge )

In youtube , search "dominations commando attack" , you will know , what I meant to say .... wall itself is meaningless if there is a gate attached .
