Actually, he had killed me outside of Atlanta, so I sent another army down there to see what he had. 2200 troops already!

Okay. The decrease in the worth of a jewel is a little extreme. I own 2 cities, 1 oil well and have 10 Geos in the bank. And my jewels are already only worth just over 1 each. Almost not worth collecting already? Something doesnt quite seem right with that...

Agreed. I just tweaked it a bit. Until you get a lot of money, you should now be halfway between where you were and 2.0. For example, if you were getting 1.5, now you'll get around 1.75. If you were getting 1, now you'll get around 1.5. It should help stretch it out a bit further.

Thanks...

what variables exactly regulate the jewel worth?, troops? cities owned? goes?i don't have many troops at all, 6 cities, and not many goes and jewels are worth 0.00 each. is this going to keep everyone at the same level? no one can advance? what's the point in playing?

Beatjunkie · 10-15-2005, 11:59 AM

i have the same problem here..

my jewels are nothing worth..
exchange-rate for 1 jewel is 0.00 geos...

brodie2219 · 10-15-2005, 01:46 PM

have fun with all those cities bringing up your total worth....

Beatjunkie · 10-15-2005, 01:54 PM

hrhr, but what to do with my time left, here at work?

the jewel exchange rate can't be right that way, is it?

Mickey · 10-15-2005, 02:43 PM

Jewels were not intended to be a consistent source of income - just a quick way to get started or rebuild.

If you have some cities, you're gaining a bit of revenue from them. I may actually bump that up a bit later today.

Focus on getting as many oil wells, cotton fields and diamond mines as you can to start generating a consistent income.

What if a user with cities leaves his cities for a couple minutes, exchanges jewels and then returns to the cities. Would you do anything about that, Mickey?

You just had to go and expose my plan, didn't you?
