We currently have a One Up Kit and a Renovation Kit, I am proposing a One Down Kit. A One Down Kit will do just that lower a buildings age by one era.
A One Down kit would not effect any GB or premium building that One Up and Renovation Kits do not currently work on. The most likely usage is to push building like a Statue of Honor to lower levels to help support a guilds need for lower level goods.
As I started playing, I always used my One Up and Renovation Kits to bring my building up to the next level. Little did I realize that leaving some of these building at lower levels would help my guild. Some players are asked to stay at lower levels to help a guild, by having One Down Kits, players can advance and still support the guild with lower level goods. It will also allow players to adjust building to help them with different level goods they may need as well.
Another good use for a One Down Kit is for building that produce troops. I do a lot of GvG and constantly change the troop building my traz if constructing for. One troop I can not get is Champion for any level other than my current level. A One Down allow me to lower the age on buildings that might make champions.
You should not be able to take a building lower than Iron age and I do not see anyway this could be abused.
Thanks all for taking the time to reply either for or against, your opinion matters. I have only been playing for a little over a year, most of you have been playing a lot longer, so again thanks for your replies, they help make me a better player.
First, thanks to The Lady Redneck for the idea of saving multiple Champion's Retreats just at different levels. I tried this and it works, and I will do this going forward. I will not be so quick to put them in auction now.
Second, When I first started, I looked around for a beginners guild to join and did join them. The guild did GE but not GbG or GvG, so no one really talked about the need for guild goods, they just pushed you to get a Arc and/or Obs, to get goods for GE. The more you raised up your building the more rewards you got to help yourself. Not once did it occur to me that a guild I might join latter might need some lower age goods and that I should leave some buildings at lower levels. It was not until I left the beginners guild and went to a more advanced guild where I really learned how the guild uses goods on my behalf. Most guilds have a mix of players at different levels. If you only have one player in an era, those goods might be needed in GE and GbG. I trade down a lot to get goods to donate to the guild. I will continue doing this but it would be nice to roll a couple building back to help out.
