you forgot the decoy trap. it’s not on discount in-game either

 

[TinSoldier]

Interesting! Happy to investigate what happened with the Decoy Trap.

I like these events Here's some feedback though, I find the oil discounts useful, but food and gold discounts don't seem very useful when you have 10, 12, 14d building/upgrade times. In those cases I would prefer reduced building times. I've made use of the oil discounts though for my factory, factory troops and air troops. Waiting for factory to finish upgrading though takes so long :/

Clearly they expect Atomic Age players to pay $20 to rush *checks notes* roughly two builds. And that’s with a sale with a 50% crown bonus.

Like so many others, I now get to sit around and wait for 12 days before I have the capacities to do anything else significant. And then I get to start the fun process of upgrading my storage buildings (58 days worth!) so I can sock away enough resources to set up more two-week upgrades where I do nothing but wait.

I was hoping that moving up an age would bring some excitement back to the game. Instead it just brings ... waiting.

Whee.

Very very true

Also true!

I almost forgot this myself so decided to mention it … the start of Atomic age is the perfect time to deploy some of the event buildings that might be saved in Inventory. I have a bunch, and started off with the Saloon that lets me train outlaws and increases the troop cap +5. So I get some extra firepower while my Barracks upgrade plus a little something to spice up attacks while running with still-Global age troops.

I have a few of those buildings. But there’s no point in attacking and accumulating resources when my citizens are locked down for another week. I’m already close to capping out on food and gold just by occasionally picking up from farms and caravans.

If there was a point to buying crowns to speed up, I might consider it. But there’s no point when rushing builds just leads to the next 12-14 day waiting period.
