Remove Kingsmarch as a core mechanic

The "One more turn/round" addiction of great games of the past and the "i have to go online and check my boats/get more gold for my town" or "i have to go online and do my dailys" or "i have to go online to get my log in bonus" are very different things. Kingsmarch is the ladder and it's fomo not addictive. That said, if you have fun, good for you.

If you learn how to fly mid-fall then the no-parachute problem disappears. -.-

A game being addictive is GOOD. That's why I love poe, and I would choose such game over a game which you would uninstall in a week.

But again, "people" complained about lootboxes in poe when you can wait 3 months and buy everything in shop since the first lootbox.


Game being addictive is "good" (technically speaking being addicted is bad).
Game having addictive mechanics that feed of your fear of you missing out is bad.
I dont like Heist. So i dont deal with it....

I dont like Sanctum. So i dont deal with it...

I dont like Expedition. So i dont deal with it...

You dont like Kingsmarch. SO DONT DEAL WITH IT!

Problem solved.

Funfact besides that. You say that a casual Player dont have the Time to farm enough Gold to keep the Town running.

You say a Casual Player plays 1-2 Hours a day. When i log in. I do 3-4 Maps ( Alch and Go) in around 20 Minutes And we know that for Alch and go thats extremely slow... But its enough to make that amount of Gold to keep the Town running. i have 1 Group of Mappers with 6 lvl 5 Mappers aktiv and do send 1 Ship every day i play.

I like Kingsmarch very much. But i dont get affected by FOMO. If i dont have the Time, or i dont want to play... i dont log in. I dont give a sh**** if the Mappers running 24/7.

It's actually worrying that people like you are replying without reading the post, but thanks for the amazing input. "This doesn't affect me, so it must be the same for everyone!!!" actual INSANE mentality, well played.
