NTGs

[Quovatis]

I hope the 'other places' doesn't mean buying them with crowns or money. All that's really needed is to lower the cost of all coalitions by 2 NTG and cap it at 6. That would help a lot. Also guarantee an NTG on 5-stars.

I play this game a lot every day, but I still can't afford the NTGs to war every day. I have to skip every other war to be able to afford it. If you play 2+ hours a day, you should be able to afford to war, don't you think?

For 24.99 you can buy 50 of each ntg and a training blessing,--future sale!

 

[Quovatis]

That's actually a good deal. It's too good for them to actually offer that though. 50 of each would cost more like $100. Don't give them ideas.

I wouldnt go near that, its again a sale of 1 time use items.

They need to include a new building, Trading Post. Just like the gold mines and fruit tree the trading post generates NTG, but you can lvl it up as you move through the ages so it can generate more and if needed require it to be tied to the embassy lvl. I am finding it harder and harder to get certain material as most in IA and GA are certain nations, yet the best coalition are never the material I use.

I highly dislike this idea. The last thing we need is another building to upgrade.

Making NTG guaranteed with a 5 star like diamonds are is the very best route to go.

Fixing the balance of nations would also help provide us with the variety of nations at higher ages as it should be would also help. But i dont see this happening so making marco polo offer 1:1 trading always available would help as well.

Or better yet since marco isnt always around, make it an option in the Embasy to trade any NTG for any other NTG you want.

Something like Starting at Embassy Level 3: 4:2 trade ratio
Embassy Level 4: 3:2 ratio
Embassy Level 5: 2:1 Ratio
Embassy Level 6: 1:1 Ratio

Earning NTG in 5 star battles is already employed just your alliance needs to get to lvl 5. Totally agree on rebalance, but the building is another option if you choose to build and upgrade would be upto the individual player just like the dock.

 

[Quovatis]

That is incorrect. The level 5 perk just ensures you get 2 NTGs if you get one. So you can still get zero, but if you get a non-zero number with a 5-star, it's guaranteed to be 2.

Thanks, I read the perk description differently

You did see it takes 4.5 years to max an AA base right? Why would we want to add more buildings to "fix" part of a game that can be fixed without adding a new time consuming option.

Seeing as it will take everyone but the highest level alliances doing the largest wars months to get to level 5 that perk doesn't do much. NTG'S should be guaranteed for 5stars, period. It's not like those are automatic at higher ages and levels to begin with. If that makes it easier for lower ages to rack up, so be it, at least they have something to help them in wars.

​​​​I like the idea of an exchange in the embassy, or permanent exchanges with Marco at reasonable rates. The fact of the matter is that there are extremely few Greeks and Japanese at the highest ages and levels.

Basically, remove the chance aspect. Seeing as this is the same random number generator that much more often than not has one go 0/3 on mines and 1/8 on trees, while claiming 60% odds, I'd rather not leave it up to that. Speaking of, if they insist on selling NTG shipments for the ludicrous price they are then we should get to pick them. Not randomized crap that somehow is never what you need.

Hitting next dozens of times to find a specific nation, then getting nothing at all is too much of a chore.

 

[BeerMan]

Months to hit level 5? We will hit level 4 after our current war is complete. Is there a huge gap between 4 and 5?

 

[Master Contrail Program]

May have overestimated a bit. We're about 3 wars away from 4, doing 15s and 20s with a handful of atomics and globals down to gunpowders. Regardless, the perk should probably just be a regular feature anyway.
