Vault rework.

[Sergio]

This is one of the buildings that I give the least importance to. Since the industrial age, the most valuable resource is oil and we cannot store much of it.
What I propose is an update of it but aimed at the alliance. In one day of attacking bases in multiplayer I think I could loot about 1 million oil, which I can't use for anything since my upgrades are done. I would like to be able to donate that oil or resources to an alliance "common fund" for another ally to take advantage of. That there would be no limit on what you can donate but there would be a limit on what they can take out per day.
I don't know, maybe 30 to 50 thousand of oil per day would be a not very exaggerated figure.
Gold and food maybe 2 or 3 million for day.

What do you think about it?

I think BHG wouldn't like that idea - for obvious reasons.

 

[Klaybear]

I think this is a super cool idea. I get to the point where I am looting millions upon millions of gold, food and oil and it all just goes to waste because I couldn't possibly spend it all. It gets pretty annoying because I am just attacking to work up the ranks for season competitions and that sucks.

I put 30k oil in and get 50k oil out of my vault daily. Drone age maxed with some museum artifacts boosting it.

That's fine for us Drone players but OP was talking about helping his/her alliance mates - like a resource exchange option people have been asking for, on & off, for years.
And I still don't think BHG will introduce something like this.

I agree. And I was wrong. I put in 50k and get 100k oil out daily. I was just pointing out that it is not useless per say. As said, the most neglected building. It was terrible and then BHG actually increased the oil capacity significantly so it is eventually not useless.

I would like to see a rebalance of the vault to hold more oil at lower ages. That is a change that BHG might make. Let people earn oil through interest. If we can hold 5k in industrial, spread the increase out so that you hold 10k in global, 15k in AA, 22k in CW, 30k in Space, 37k in digital, 42k in info, 50k in drone. Something like that would help make the vault relevant in lower ages too.

They are very nice numbers but they are still low... imagine that you have to wait a day to get 50k more... when in a multiplayer attack you can get that. It was necessary in the past, a good strategy or investment but the game was improving its domination bonuses, legendary multiplayer artifacts and this was forgotten.
As I said at the beginning, my thread was intended to talk about the fact that I have excess resources, I cannot pass them on to my allies or store them infinitely in my inventory (that was another idea that I proposed) so I will lose resources that maybe to another ally it is difficult to obtain.

In the past I have made many suggestions about this. How to avoid wasting resources for those who often continue playing even with full stocks.
Personally, I always went through this situation and thought about the possibility of being able to exchange resources for small purchases, just so that the resources weren't wasted. An alternative would be to be able to make some purchases, such as NTG, 5 or 30 minute Speed-ups, some supplies for the museum, wall update manuals, some rubies, among others. Nothing very significant, it would just be very small advantages for players not to realize that they are losing when they continue to play with some resources at the limit of their accumulation capacity.

It would be something like visiting Marco Polo and being able to make some transactions of gold, food and oil for other small portions of items of small value. Expanding Marco Polo's shop would be cool. Maybe a little rework so the scrollbar isn't so long.

And the costs of these products would vary according to the age of each player. So each purchase would cost approximately 90% of the resource capacity limit of the age the player is at.

Thank you for the feedback, the team still continues monitoring feedback like this as they continue to implement various improvements to the game and consider how they could implement some of the feedback that is shared throughout the forum!

the big problem is that upgrading the vault does nothing for oil. it stays the same unless there is an increase cause im industrial. if the vault increased oil capacity per upgrade ot would be more relavent.

and the treasury branchs (coming soon) could somewhat remedy that with more intrest and capacity and perhaps turn it to a defensive structure (vaults need security wink wink).

My post was not to diminish your desire for a market to store excess loot or to keep storing for your future use, but the revamp of oil storage is something BHG CAN do relatively easy and it would benefit players not in the top age.

My suggestion for oil storage capacity was more of “please throw us a bone” suggestion and keep the vault more relevant from Industrial through Info ages.

I understand your point. But I would like a new feature more, when they temporarily increased the domination bonus to 100% the amount of resources I wasted was abysmal.

I liked this idea of exchanging for national products or (I know I'm asking a lot) a legendary artifact chest. I previously suggested that they sell these chests for rubies. They "threw me a bone" and took out these accelerator chests.
