Supplies anyone?

[Pen17]

I have two accounts. One is atomic and the other industrial. I don't recall ever getting supplies from victory chests or league boats with my atomic account while I get them regularly with my industrial one. Does anyone else find it a rarity to come across supplies with atomic or cold war age accounts?

Only from the 5 hrs expeditions at the dock

Yes it's rare, I always stay below 800. Is it also rare for higher leagues?
I hate expeditions, like I have nothing else to do with my people

I’ll add support for the OP’s observation ... I have a CWA, AA, IA, and 2 GP accounts. The lower age accounts have accumulated more than 1400 supplies each, the IA account has 1000, while the AA and CWA accounts each have barely cracked 600. I wish that I hadn’t upgraded my docks for the higher ages :/

A conspiracy theorist would suggest they were using the supplies to try to help lower ages battle the higher ones. I have noticed the difference as well between IA and AA accounts.

im getting tons of supplies, researchers, and benifactors on both my accounts. all from boat and victory rewards. atomic 1200-1500 meds the other is powder 500 - 800 meds.

define "tons"...The dock expeditions with supplies only come up every other day for me, and the victory reward and boat rarely gives supplies. There is not a constant stream of them, that's for sure. I have plenty of researchers and benefactors, but the amount of supplies offered is way too low.

What are the researchers and benefactors used for? I thought they were used for unlocking level 4 and 5 attributes, but I have a 3 star artifact and the fourth star requires 800(!) supplies. I have over 1000 researchers and benefactors and nothing to use them for...

Yes it's a ridiculous "balance" system. The higher age our base is, the harder it is to get supplies. I'm always on gold medal range but never get supplies whereas industrial silver medal range occasionally gets them as chest reward. I also very much hate the ratio of researchers and benefactors that are gotten. Researchers are only needed to unlock level 4 of an item and benefactors are only used for level 5. To actually find an item worth unlocking both 4 and 5 would be a miracle in itself as well. But the key ingredient is supplies which are needed for all but which are given the least. I think I have nearly a 3 to 1 ratio of supplies to the others. They should allow some sort of trade system at least and perhaps our buddy Marco could be used. It's not the greatest exchange rate but they already have a 3 to 1 ntg swap about 90% of the time. Why can't we get that for supplies as well. Or the best option is give us more supplies or please bring back the secondary rewards from expeditions than because every expedition has them as the secondary. The only time you get the supplies are with the short expeditions which are the 6 hour ones (6 because I did library research). My buddy is industrial and he has unlocked lvl 3 and lvl 4 on an item which would run you 1200 supplies and I have only accumulated 1k total so far without using any. And he is a casual player while I play much more than he does. He gets rewarded much much more through expeditions. It feels like the game tries to compensate the fact that he is only industrial and can only have one slot per item exhibit so heres more stuff. His oil loot bonus is 54%. Granted he is british but 39% just from museum is wacky. It will only go up when he gets more blueprints.

It may be that they thought when you are GP then you need supplies more than the others, and as you age up then you get more of the others. That doesn’t help when you’re already AA or CWA.
