Cultural Settlements Progress

I dislike the changes made to settlements particularly Mughal; I can no longer generate 5 WW fragments after completing the first 10 Q's. Oh well, glad I made a couple of miners shortly after starting the game; quite a lot slower to develop a miner now.

Has anyone figured out if it is better to pay for the settlement expansions that cost 15 goods right away or always wait for the ones that cost 5 goods?

I do 5 / 15 / 5 / 15 / 5 / 15 / 5 /15 Thats all 7 free ones , I never buy the premium expansions. 500 diamonds before the update got me into this habit.

Of course they took the WW fragments out. They will call that an enhancement too but all it is, is another way to limit the amt. of diamonds players can win. The inno greed knows no bounds these days. Just like the lame excuse of inflation still being used to jack up the prices of lots of things, which is just price gouging by greedy corporations and their greedy shareholders.

Went to Sixflags today, 11 dollars for a pretzel, then a $1.30 extra charge, then tax.

1 bottled drink costs $7.50!!!

It's still in the settlement, just further along near the end

Oh well, no more WW fragments from the settlements; too bad they were completely removed. I did take a look and they aren't to be found. Glad I did my miners early, WW's were a lot easier to get by comparison to now. At least I get some from GbG, not as many as before changes but still get some.

Where are you seeing it? It used to be the 10-quest reward (which is now goods) and it's not showing anywhere else on the questline in Mughal.

Someone posted a screenshot on discord. I haven't done it myself, so I am going off what other players have posted, and there were some issues with the implementation of the new questline for some players yesterday that should hopefully be resolved now

But if it's there you'll likely find it on the 19th Quest (18 completed)

I will let you know for Poly when I finish this level. It had WW frags at the end of all the other levels. Inno has a strange view of what upgrade means so I will get back to you once I get to the end of this level. The 50 diamond 1/2 time is 50 diamonds all the way to 20 hours.

Sheesh, I hadn't realized until after I placed my first expansions and built additional Roads in the Viking Settlement that these now cost 200 Copper Coins a piece. Afterwards, I made the mistake of accidentally selling one such Road while rearranging some stuff (turns out you have to go into the Settings to enable the confirmation window since it is disabled by default). The following half hour of 5-minute productions with the two Shrines I had in order to recover my lost Copper Coins were not fun.

Of course, it's always been a struggle to run two Goods Buildings at the start of a new Viking Settlement, but the struggle is much more noticeable now IMHO.

:confused:

Currently halfway through this Viking Settlement (10 Quests left). Beast Hunter is already in place, which means there's 10 hours left until I can place down my next two expansions with them Horns.

Do I appreciate having to pay 200 Copper Coins per Snow Trail now? No, this is indeed a change I dislike. Is the start of a new Viking Settlement more difficult now that production times are longer and we have "less" Copper Coins to work with? That is certainly the case. However, as of writing this, I am currently operating three Goods Buildings set to 10-hour productions each (a total of 6.000 Copper Coins), and I still have over a thousand Copper Coins left (will be more once I wake up). Despite the initial struggle of running 2 Goods Buildings at the start, the difference in difficulty is not really noticeable compared to how it was before the update.

While many might lament the "decrease" in Copper Coins, I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. In one particular Viking Settlement I had completed long ago, I had 42K Copper Coins by the time I completed the final Quest. I obtained all the timed rewards with one day to spare. Overkill, I know. While I am in the minority for saying this, Snow Trails now costing Copper Coins hasn't really affected my ability to continuously keep my Goods Buildings running, except for that one fumble of mine which I posted about the other day.

There's also the issue with Impediments. They're more frequent now, this we all know, which'll certainly make the arrangement of Buildings much more difficult for the Vikings. But having completed 10 Quests so far, this means I've already obtained one pickaxe (which I've used), and the next Quest will give me another pickaxe, and I've already thought of which Impediment I shall use it on. Of the eight immediately-available expansions, six had Impediments, which is alright I guess. Seeing as how that number is effectively going to be reduced to four thanks to the pickaxes, this is a change that I don't particularly like or dislike. It adds to the strategy I suppose, since at least I can pick which Impediments to yeet.

TL;DR: Cost of Roads sucks but IMO we had too many Copper Coins to begin with anyways. Increased frequency of Impediments sucks but with the help of pickaxes, players still have to strategically plan which expansions to purchase and how to arrange Buildings around existing Impediments, meaning not much has changed from how things were before.

the change is making settlements even more tedious than they already are and making it so everyone has to do them constantly if they want to keep getting the timed level of them.

I have finally finished Japan! After giving up on settlements for about two years, it only took me about 2.5 months to do the final 5 Japanese. This is the first settlement that I have finished! I think I will do Egypt next.

Progress regarding completed Cultural Settlements will go here!

Due to real life, I've been mildly active with the Cultural Settlements feature. However, I'm two Settlements shy of getting the maxed out Shinto Temple. I've only done two Viking Settlements. Currently, I'm still in the middle of an Ancient Egyptian Settlement. After doing my first fight (easy, of course), I got the x4 bonus, leaving me with a lot of Loot at where I'm sitting at currently. Pics coming soon.
They make it impossible to get it done to get those Extra rewards
lol get it done in under 10 days that's a joke unless you have about 70 k Diamonds
