As an update for our Take-Over Forecast post. We will talking about Kixeye's next plan to the Take-Over Changes. The new plan now is the take-over costs will reflect the value of the OP. It will probably be calculated via empire points.
Here are the planned prices. This is Kixeye's plan on changing the prices.- Wild Monster = 10,000,000 per resource
- Just an Outpost building = 12,900,000 per resource
- Normal Kit = 20,000,000 per resource
- Mega Kit = 38,100,000 per resource
- Ultra Kit = 57,000,000 per resource
For me, the prices are quite high and I don't even think it's reasonable. I think it should be much cheaper.
As to help new players. Kixeye on planning a 50% discount on the 6 hexes/cells around your base. The prices would be the ones below if you capture the 6 hexes/cells around your base.
Note: The amounts of take over costs below are per resource.
- Wild Monster Tribe - 500,000 to 5,000,000, depending on WMT level
- Just an Outpost building = 6,450,000
- Normal Kit = 10,000,000
- Mega Kit = 19,050,000
- Ultra Kit = 28,500,000
My Thoughts
It's a fair amount to pay for an outpost. It gives large EBs with large empire points a chance to defend themselves but even with a 50% discount, new players will have a hard time having this kind of prices. And it also kills the awesome gameplay of jumping, which will surely die out due to this new system. Big Empires will flourish, Small Empires will have no fighting chance and jumpers will be weak if not extinct. If you have a question, just comment below. And if you want to do something about this or if you strongly disagree then join me on the forums and we will tell Kixeye what we really want in the link below. Since this decision can still be change.
