Current changes on Test

Other than the Easter Event, there's a few other things that are currently up on the test server that seem worth mentioning/looking at. Note that these things aren't inherently related to the Easter event, and may be released earlier, or later, or never.

Upgradeable Village School

Village schools can be upgraded to level 5!
A level 1 school was already pretty good, upgrading them to level 5 is amazing value.
This will mean at level 5, each one will give 5 settlers every 2 hours, so, 60 per day.

To make 60 settlers with bread from your provision house costs 1500 bread.
A level 5 bakery produces around 1000 bread a day (unbuffed).
This means that a single level 5 village school is worth 1.5 bakeries, and, since the bakeries need buildings themselves, also worth 3 mills and 6 farms. Assuming you use bread to help produce troops, this makes a level 5 village school equal to 10.5 buildings. This also doesn't take into account the wheat field and well the bread system needs.


White text in the chat window

There's a toggle button to change all chat text to being white. This has been a long awaited addition to the game I hope comes soon. This will be especially useful for the extremely difficult to read pink text on the whisper chat.

Both very nifty things that will be nice to come over to live. Depending on just how prevalent schools are, this could potentially trash bread prices. I have 4 myself, so that will be quite a lot of extra settlers from the schools (240 a day).

I'm also doing up a list of the Easter goodies for you all to look at, should be up in the next few days.

Happy Settling.
