Now caravans and farms are borderline useless again. The 200pct increase should be standard.

I think they were always useless. Best to use looting for your resources

Have you finished school yet kid? Where do you think resources come from? It all stems from caravans and farms. Less boost on farms and caravans means less loot when raiding. Stay in school kid.

I havent had a looting issue yet since the boost left. Id be more than happy to help boost the economy by upgrading my production buildings if they would only follow my suggestion on upgrade times and worker requirements for them. until then, i and many others will not upgrade our production buildings.

 

[Manifesto]

DaZTroYeR is right, people can be narrow minded or they can think long term/strategically.
No-one ever said raiding is NOT the best way to loot but upgrading resource buildings is not difficult, and it doesn't have to be done all at once.
Like everything else its about prioritising. Plus, you don't have to upgrade them fully, mid level is good enough for everyone.

So you are saying that they are useful for people who raid you. Thus they were never useful to the owner in the first place. Go back to school kid.

Ha... kid?

And they're useful to YOU when YOU go raiding.
Have a lie down while you comprehend that concept. Ask your parents what 'comprehend' means.

This discussion always humors me, its not the farm/caravan production rate that we should worry about, its the capacity which can be stored. It doesnt matter how high the production rate boost is on a farm, if it can only hold 20k food then you can only loot 10k from it. Take capacity up to 100k and you got 50k of loot that can be taken. I know production rate will help refill those farms but its the capacity that limits what you can take.

I like that some play this game like farmville.

I like that you play it that way so I can take your stuff. So, yeah, upgrade your farms and caravans!

 

[poop_]

btw, that is a joke. I understand that some people can't play as much and so being able to be self sufficient on a peace treaty helps to get the needed resources.

 

[Manifesto]

If Nexon increases the capacity of farms/caravans to 100k you might be able to do without upgrading a Mill/Market when you go up an age. I can't see that happening.

 

[JNation]

You cant collect more food or gold than the market/mill can hold. Still have to upgrade them regardless

Mate i didnt get to lvl 210 atomic by collecting throu my farms and caravans LOL. When you raid. A good percentage can come from caravans and farms. Afterall half of the loot can be stolen from a farm but a qaurter from the market.

Since I think you missed my point, I will clarify. Except for war loot, chests, and challenges (which let's be honest, isn't much), ALL of the resources in this game come from caravans, roads, farms, and wells. You either get the loot from your own resource producing structures or from someone else's OR from someone else who has collected from theirs or someone else's. But almost ALL comes from farms, caravans, roads, and wells. So someone has to upgrade their farms and caravans to create more resources in this game. I don't, but I am glad others do.

 

[Sentex]

I stopped upgrading my Caravans at lvl 12 and my Farms at lvl 11. I'm debating whether I should upgrade my Oil Wells past lvl 3. They're a nice supplement to loot stolen from raiding, but the caravans and farms just arent worth upgrading with the slow rate that they produce resources.

 

[JNation]

I like to collect all the food and gold i need through the trees and gold mine.

 

[Manifesto]

Yes, of course you can't hold more than you can hold, professor!
I meant the overall amount that you can hold will have increased. Instead of 4,500,000 capacity you might have 5,500,000 capacity, and if your next upgrade cost 5,000,000 food/gold, you don't need to upgrade anything.
Your capacity is already there!

 

[Manifesto]

Yes, by all means, let's not upgrade the resources buildings. Lets just keep raiding to get what we want. Who needs free resources anyway?
In fact, I hate that my farms/caravans/wells produce anything at all. I wish I could give away all my free stuff.
Who needs 12000k free oil every day? Not me.

 

[JNation]

Yes, but you still cant upgrade something that is beyond your market or mill capacity, regardless of whatever the farms could hold. If you had maxed food in mills, let say that was 7mil and wanted to upgrade something that cost 7.5 mil, and all your farms were at max capacity so in theory you would have enough to upgrade that 7.5mil building, you still couldn't do it because you would have to be able to collect from the farmer and move all food to mill before you can hit that upgrade button.
