Well said. There's absolutely no way I can compete in QI with the players who were lucky enough (or foresighted enough) to invest a lot of time in Events & Settlements, prior to the introduction of QI. I could invest enormous amounts of time in developing a Hut of the Sacred Instruments using...

Maybe you're not Googling hard enough, Johnny ... LOL My name's been in the fine print in the game box (or the player's guide, or wherever they put the fine print in a particular game) since about 1980. Your ongoing contempt is duly noted.

"And while you're taking all the challenge out of production cycles, you're also taking any challenge out of designing your city? Just so you can concentrate on clicking auto battle without bothering with the rest of the game?" I don't click on "auto battle." I get better results that way. The...

"And if you play "these games" to win battles, then you must really hate the overly simplistic battle system of this one. Honestly, of all the PC games that I've tried, this is one of the least challenging. I would never play this game if it was just for the battles." I COULDN'T AGREE MORE...

"You basically erased the whole premise of the game. Yes , Inno needs to improve it but not by destroying it." Ummm, no. The premise of the game is to build, expand & advance your city. That premise hasn't even been modified. It just becomes a little more easy to achieve. In "Kingdoms of...

"How often are those 50-800 diamonds deducted?" ONE TIME. You buy him, he's yours permanently. "Building rotation really would do nothing for the game ... rotating it doesn’t make anything fit easier in 99% of situations." Actually around 60-70% of situations ... but the other 30-40% can make...

I've been gaming & designing games my whole life, starting with "Dungeons & Dragons" & some weird-shaped dice, paper & pencils in 1973. Run a Google search on the words "Bryan Hinnen Judges Guild." Yeah, that's me. I was in on the ground floor of the RPG revolution. I led the charge, when we...

Does anybody have a list of the buildings for your main city, that provide combat bonuses in QI ????? And how do I get these buildings?

You didn't answer my question: how did you do that, without spending any Diamonds? I have heard about setting up my main city to provide combat boost support for QI but I don't know how to do it. Quick tutorial or a link, please.

This is a similar city layout, but it's T-shaped. The Town Hall has to be bumped over one square into two northeast expansion tiles to make it work. Again, very little wasted space.

Well ... I did pick up the vocabulary from my political science professors (Authors like Mao & Ho Chi Minh were required reading) ... but I assure you I'm no socialist. I've also read a lot of infantry studies from West Point. The consensus is that 20% of the riflemen do 80% of the shooting in a...

Correct. However, this situation is not a pure application of the Pareto Principle. There's an external force called Inno, which rewards the cadre & by withholding any access to that reward, punishes the mass. Also, there are other external options for the mass: other games, offered by other...

Consider the cadre/mass rule. For any group of people (workforce, chemistry class, Boy Scout troop, whatever), you have 20% of the people achieving 80% of the objectives. The other 80% of the people are getting only 20% of the objectives, but they're also providing mass. The way QI is currently...

It shouldn't be this hard. IT .... SHOULD .... NOT .... BE ..... THIS ..... HARD. Bear in mind, this is advertised as a "free to play game." To me, that means if I play my cards right, I should be able to win at least a few battles on QI LVL XII without spending a nickel. Regardless of whether...

By the way, kids: I've been designing games & game modules since 1976. My first few "Dungeons & Dragons" modules made me $100,000 in royalties by the time I was 19. [In the 1970s, that was A LOT of money. The only other ways a 19-year-old could have made that much money, that fast, legally were...

It is absolutely pointless to even try to participate in QI without spending a bunch of Diamonds. I have religiously built a highly efficient small town, collected production & built Arches of Victory & Aqueducts every 10 hours on the dot (which is a cruel, cruel cycle -- make it 8 hours OR 12...

This is not a "settlement." This is a Second City. Your Second City can be named. On your Second City, you get an ordinary Harbor (like the one to the north of your First City). It has no Arctic Future harbor or Oceanic Future harbor. The Second City also has no Tavern, Castle, Antique Dealer...

Wonderful. Then this thread shouldn't even be here.

I don't even know how to vote. There's no button for it. But my vote is "yes." If you're investing the time to rearrange your city, let's make it a little easier.
