Kingsmarch issues and suggestion

Kingsmarch eats my gold and estimated time when treasury is empty doesn't match when it's actually empty. I put 16 hours worth of gold ~200k before going to sleep at 23:00 PM and Rog and mapping devices full of maps. Waking up and checking them at 10:00 AM my maps were not run, Rog hasn't disenchanted even half of the items and my treasury was empty.

Kingsmarch shouldn't be core tbh. But yeah we can't change that anymore. Hopefully they reduce at least the costs for workers and specialise them in one field. Multiple roles for workers are completely useless

I think T0 dust should be nerfed or crop returns should be nerfed in the next patch. Crop shipping is too good because mirror shards are too valuable. They could nerf generic gold generation but that would be awful for everyone but the 1%. Better to nerf the rewards a bit.

Mappers and ore shipments are ok (they're profitable, but overall not worth doing unless you like the gamble or are drowning in gold.)

Are they really? Crops are the easiest thing to set up, you can invest 0 into Kingsmarch and leave them to accumulate while putting gold every several days and, apparently farm mirrors. If it was this easy to do, mirrors would drop in price no doubt. You are probably basing your observation on several lucky hits.

In 3.25 anyone willing to farm dust/gold could get a mirror. It would take time but it was basically guaranteed to happen after a reasonable amount of shipments. Think mine took 9 or 11 maxed out shipments.

But farming dust and gold means not farming currency which most players seem to prefer.

Yes, but you needed to roll 6*lvl10 sailors, aswell as a lot of high level farmers, so that is already 1 or 2 weeks of grinding very hard jsut for that. Then, you needed to permanently run your town. Kind of easy if you could do t17, no question about it. Or you would run a weird t16 strategy which rewards a t0 unique every once in a while and alot of gold but was not really that profitable otherwise...All in all you had to work hard for it or get to the point where you could faceroll t17s which is also a hard grind if u don't rmt

Bro, you do NOT NEED to interact with kingsmarch AT ALL; It going core was perfectly fine.

Sure. And it's still the easiest/most reliable source of a mirror that anyone can do. (gold is not that hard to get, reefbanes are not that hard to get)

Right now if you can feed your farmers with gold your farmers return ~5 divines on average per day in almost fully liquid currency once you make your shipment.

Mapping is profitable but a hassle to liquidate and gold intensive so you never feel bad about skipping it and just deleting your extra maps. Bars don't take too much gold and can be profitable but it's not worth the effort so you never feel bad about skipping it. Skipping farmers feels bad and it feels like a mandatory chore to rush at league start IMO.

Lowering the average from 1.5 mirror shards per 50 million to 0.5 would let people still chase a jackpot without making it feel mandatory. For people who play standard on occasion it might even be worth running gold maps til ~50 million gold in league and collecting some extra mirror shards while 3.27 is running. It's 30 divs of gold for 120 divs in standard funny money every 15 days.
