production cost and other questions

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 29.04.2009, 03:52

i am wondering that though the production cost of advertisment is 924, most ads price in the market is less than 924, only about 400-500. Is there any way to decrease the production cost?

and by the way, how to lift your power quality? and is there anyway to decrease the expanding time of buildings?

thanks for your reply.

1) Try buliding in the green area its about 1/3 of the price compared to the red area

2) Nope power, water and stone can only be level 0, makes sense since power is power.

In a persistent game, you don't catch up to players who started ahead of you. If the game is in equilibrium, you climb the standings at your own pace, with the standings staying roughly stable, as top players dropping out are offset by all other players advancing a little. However, I've played internet games for 11 years and I've never seen one in equilibrium. The closest was the famous dragon game, where I did become one of the top players at several sites (under a different avatar).

Indeed, its almost impossible to catch up unless the people ahead quit.
Otherwise you'll only catch up with those who just don't make the right decisions.

However, the guy is a bit right to.
I think with catching up he is more considering the idea of not falling behind more and more.
So tho the real gap prolly won't get smaller, the gap compared to size will.
Like:
Company X: 1M
Company Y: 10M
In 1 year:
Company X: 100M
Company Y: 115M

Tho the gap increased in value from 9 to 15, relative it dropped from 90% to 9%.

After writing this i actually start wondering if i myself understand the thing i just wrote :s

Newbies can catch up due to level increases and decreases of rates of production.

A wholesaler can make a lot more porducts in one hour than a Tycoon can.

Of course if I reset my account today on realm 1 it would take me years to catch up to CMB and that's only in FA. His cash may be through the roof by then. But it is the same as other games, the early bird catches the worm as they say.

Thoguh it is possible to catch up if you buy coins with real life money and sell them in game.
