I don't think there's a way to measure fairness on that, since the productions vary by building as well as chapter.Īll that being said, I was not originally arguing in favor of the game's definition of fair trades, even as adjusted to the current ratios of 2.25:1.5:1 some time after those threads you linked, since T1 has more value in the game, being needed in greater quantities, and is simultaneously harder to obtain in later chapters, as has recently argued here. However, since most event buildings that offer goods past chapter 5 give T3, it is entirely possible to have a city with no T3 manufactories at all and still be gaining more T3 than one needs, so some players are offering cross-trades out of that surplus. (I ran the numbers in Sorcerers and Dragons for a human I imagine the outcome could vary depending on whether you had recently unlocked new upgrades for one tier vs another, and possibly from elf to human.)īecause of the stigma against cross-tier trades, many players also offer them at a discount, which makes it even more unfavourable for those offering T3 in favour of lower tiers. If you add enough residences to account for the missing coins, then the marble takes 27% fewer squares to produce. Thanks to your prompting, however, I dug a little deeper this morning and discovered that even accounting for a 2.25:1 production ratio as suggested by the trader, marble is actually 17% cheaper to produce in terms of space than gems and that's without accounting for all the coin needed for the gems. I was disagreeing with the statement that it is cheaper in time, costs, and space to produce T3 than the other tiers, which on a one-for-one ratio, it is clearly not. The original post in this thread that I was responding to didn't reference trading *ratios*, just production values. I am not trying to rehash old arguments however, those threads are old and the ratios which were being argued against and compared are no longer used in the trader, so the math shown is no longer particularly relevant, at least to the discussion we're having. I skimmed through the threads you linked, although I had seen many of them already, just to make sure I wasn't missing something.
