Bank/Private marina Balance Tweaks

[Captain Jack]

The bankers can still use other banks to store their gold. But I do not think that this formula will create this necessity. A level 4 Bank already will allow the banker to save 35M - without the need of any bank operation. Isn't this enough? A level 20 Bank will allow 115M extra. The best I could think right now, it to make it level * 6.75M instead of 5M, just to make the max a nice and round 150M at level 20.

We do not really want to PUSH you to upgrade. In contrary; we want you to upgrade slowly. We just want to give you reasons to upgrade. If there are not enough reasons to upgrade, then there was no reason to put 20 levels in the bank.

For the Goldsmith, so far, it is working excellently, despite what some people may think. Be warned for goldsmiths though; growing too large too fast might bring you to a point where supply is greater than demand. Then, you will not be able to sell. Try to control your exposure to debt if you have took a loan taking this in mind.

Regarding the other perk for banks, 1 turn less for level 10 and 2 turns less at level 20 for ALL transactions, I think you all agree?

Since my post above is a bit large and you may miss it, I will repeat:

We do not want to PUSH you to upgrade your bank. We want to give you reasons to upgrade.

Could you add an icon, in Bank loans list, which shows if a loan is on Standing order or not? I realized today that I wasn't paying a loan because I thought it was on Standing Order but it wasn't.

if the issue is with too many small banks opening : have the devs considered making opening a bank conditional on other things : for example : perhaps the mansion needs to be a certain level first, to denote some standing in the world : or the workshop ; as the craftsmen would be reqd to be capable of building vaults, locks and such : or the goldsmith needs to be at a minimum level first : or a combination of those factors might be required, and perhaps also for any upgrade beyond certain levels : such as 5, 10, 15.

just some ideas thrown out on the topic...

Code: Select all

1.5.2: Private Marina turn cost to Dock a ship has changed. It is now scaling dynamically relatively with Private Marina levels. The formula is: 40 - Private Marina Level

So, at Level 1, it costs 39 turns to dock a ship and at level 20, it costs 20 turns to dock a ship.

Gold Bars cost will not be tweaked eventually as it seems to work well already.

Has this been introduced, the wording implies the turn cost had been.. but last time I docked a ship, I still got charged 40 turns...

Perhaps you tried before? I checked again, it works fine. It will tell you the exact turns cost on confirmation popup window.

maybe, I'll check again next time I dock one..
