I'm really hoping for a balance update to make the dock usable.
It'll be really useful to have some choice of expedition duration and workers, for correspondingly scaled up or scaled down rewards.
Here's a suggestion of a possible implementation:
- Provide the option to add or remove citizens - as you add citizens, display the expected reward - scale it up and down, as we add and remove citizens.
- Provide the option to add or remove generals - as you add generals, again, display the expected reward.
- Provide the option to choose the duration of the expedition - maybe, starting from 2 hours to 10 days, and, again, display the expected reward.
Once these choices are made, provide the option to send them on an expedition.
As we upgrade the dock, allow increases to the cap of citizens and generals that can be sent on the expedition.
Also, as the dock is upgraded, increase the rewards for the same number of citizens and duration (for example, an expedition of 2 workers for 4 hours from a higher level dock should offer better rewards than a similar sized expedition from a lower level dock).
This will bring in a lot of variety to the game play, as well as make the expeditions more useful.
Looking forward to using the dock more!
