GGG; Kingsmarch (gold cost) - GGG doesn't seem to have any kindness for average players

1. If you use inefficient (gold-costly) farmers instead of cheaper AND higher rank farmers, that's honestly just on you. Every worker shows their hourly wage, so don't take inefficient workers.
2. Crop farming/shipping is the only mechanic in Kingsmarch that can be used passively and universally by everyone. Every other mechanic (ore, mappers, recomb, Faustus gambling, currency flipping) is meant as an optional league mechanic like any other that you have to spec and invest into. If you want to do everything, it's intended by design that you can't also do other league mechanics efficiently. It's called opportunity cost. Else everyone would just passively do everything and Kingsmarch might as well not exist. If you mine and smelt ore bars to ship, that's gold costly and something you can do instead of something else. It's a strategy you optionally spec and invest into instead of other league mechanic strategies. Same for mappers. Last edited by PraceAce#2900 on Dec 1, 2025, 10:23:01 AM

The entire premise of this thread is nonsense.
If (for example) GGG tripled the gold drop rates, all that would change is that the 4+ hours per day players would run mappers nonstop in addition to running 3 boats nonstop. The gap between them and ultra casual 3 job 4 kid dad gamers would increase, not decrease. True parity would only exist within the groups when literally everybody had unlimited gold, and literally everyone could constantly run mappers and shippers. And that... honestly sounds like the worst game ever made, to me. You've now created a system where the ideal way to play is with 20 characters on 20 different accounts and you run the bare minimum maps per day on each to sustain the infinite item flow, and anyone actually trying to play the game is objectively doing it wrong. I know we're in an era where nobody is capable of understanding cause and effect relationships, but come on, people. Is it really to much to ask that you engage with your OWN hypotheticals? |

You are not supposed to afk your wealth. You are rewarded for blasting maps. CWS is also not that much afk, you have to click to advance in ultimatum or simulacrum you just don't have to pay attention to the gameplay, so you are still somewhat engaged in the mechanic.
If you really want to run mappers so bad, you have to play a dedicated gold strategy or you have to play t16,5+ maps. But just 2 hours of blasting t17s even without a gold strategy should be plenty. It's not like you can run mappers all night, they are finished at some point while you are still sleeping ;P When i played t17s in settlers league and last league all gold problems suddenly disappeared and i was able to roll for lvl 10(now 5) workers and run several devices at the same time. Whether you like the answer or not, the solution is as always, play the highest tier content, which is t17 maps. Yes, the mods are annoying and you will curse, hehe. But at this point in the league, if you want it you can do it, no excuse other than not doing it in favor of one's mental health, hehe A smallball alternative would be to run synth memory maps, lmao. easy faceroll content and a little more gold tha normal t16s.

Blight rewards so much more gold than most strats right now that its kind of ridiculous.
Even on 8-mod T16, and only using blight heart + glittering scarabs, you can easily reach 50k+ gold per map (thats on a < 20c per map investment). Add some bismuth juice and a few other scarabs and it sky rockets. Juiced blight in T16.5's, with ~2d per map investment, returns 200k-500k gold per map. “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”
