How are prices of buildings determined? I couldn't find an article on that..... 1 city has 10 stone and 10 tree per building another has 6 stone and 5 tree help? thanks | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The more buildings you have the higher the price goes for each building. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I can give you a general idea but this is the kind of shit I want to put on a wiki. Do you want numbers, wall of text, or tl;dr? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Generally buildings costs Xgold+25Xstone+.25Xtree (oversimplification, differs from race to race and varies based on city size). For Human/Troll/Elf/Orc it would cost 'about' 100 Gold to build a building at 5k land, 250 Gold for a building at 31.7k land, 500 Gold a building at 70k~ land, etc. This scales upwardly to amounts like '10,000+ gold a building' at well over a million land where you probably aren't building a building unless your are building some taverns to shame Tico instead of working on a VUwiki. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
ya that helps..... definitley would love a wiki with exact numbers i can crunch into my master plans on domination! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Working on it at the moment, building price relative to land is actually one of the categories I will need help filling in the blanks in some places (That's what a wiki is for anyways!) and I haven't recorded every single land-cost number, only the important ones. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This city has 7742 peasants who are working as hard as they can. There is space for 7249 more buildings and at this time we can build a maximum of 143 structures or 143 more walls. It costs 161 gold, 40 tree and 40 stone ( 323 for walls) to build one building. Each building can take up to a maximum of 8 days to build.

Does that help? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I would need to know what your total land is for the information to be useful, but using my wizardly powers I can deduce that you are either a 43.1k land Halfling, a roughly 16k~ land non-dwarf/halfling, or a 'Dwarf I have no fucking idea what land count you have I don't play Dwarf and this is why I need the communities help with some stuff' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

He means total land, so all the land you currently have in all your cities. With that figure, Barney can give you full details. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
i gave him all my cities :) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Visual city size does affect tree/stone price also, not sure if that has been mentioned yet either? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I briefly hinted at that, but didn't want to get into it in great detail because it would be too complicated for people who don't even have the fundamentals down. You do bring up the a very good point though Random, as tree/stone costs are affected by the city's visual size
I could sort of simplify this to TL;DR city sizes that are 's2' cost about half as much tree/stone and 's1' cost 'about' a quarter of that. Here are the formulas for building cost based on city size for those interested:   s1 city, building cost is: Xgold+.08265~Xtree+.0625~Xstone   s2 city, building cost is: Xgold+.125~Xtree+.125~Xstone And then any city that is visually larger than that is roughly Xgold+.25Xtree+.25Xstone I hope that is useful to anyone who might be interested in what Random mentions in his post or I hinted at above! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In this way, Dwarves and Elves can secure an economic advantage over other races by making their cities 'visually' smaller by building into mountains or trees thus saving them resources and effectively allowing them to build cities at a reduced cost. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
keep up the good work Barney , its good to see the positive attitude you are bringing back to the game. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
go barny hey, if i have 1k houses and 5k mines i get 24 gold per mine. if i build 1 farm, that gets decreased correct? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This will probably be the last forum post I make today because I am busy trying to make sure the wiki is done before GvE is arma'd if possible.
Nope! This is actually an entirely different concept unrelated to land cost, and farm count doesnt hurt your mine production. This mechanic ties into how VU balances fighting players who have millions of land when you have hundreds of thousand. It was implemented in 'The Fifth Era' which began on Fantasia Age One. (Which isn't documented correctly in the HoH. Ravage Regime didn't exist in The Fifth Era, only iPWN, Relentless, and MAD. The era that was before the one I linked above was actually during the 4th era). If you have 5k mines and you build 1 farm, the mine production doesnt get reduced. If you have 5k mines and you build 1 mine, the mine production does get reduced. There are also other less known things that combo into this mechanic to reduce the effectiveness of having millions of land like tax gold and such tying into total peasant count, but people generally understand '1,000,000 million land isnt 10x as effective as 100,000 land' I hope that helps, and understanding the concept in purple should make it clear why land-drops are so effective in The Fifth Era! Land-drops and stuff were always used, especially in The Fourth Era, but they were mostly only useful to low-land STGers who were already very secretive and veteran players. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
one of my mining cities has mines that produce 13 gold and 10 stone another one does 12 gold and 10 stone why? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
it depends on how close your city is to a mine | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
He means mountain | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
a mountain in a way is a mine but yeah what Mallikor said! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
and if both cities are virtually on top of mountains? another question: a city can be built farther away from mountains, but you can get the bonus if you build enough mines to reach it correct? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
if a city has 30k mines and is clearly close enough to mountains.....is it possible to only get 2 gold per mine if the population is extremely low? maybe just cause the mines reach the mountains, doesn't mean you get the bonus unless those mines are being used? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
If the population is really low (thus the productivity is low), and/or sciences are really low and.or you have a higher total mine count you can definitely get 2 gold per mine despite having the full mining bonus. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
that's the answer, thanks! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Did the wiki ever get done barney? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Barney hasn't played in awhile | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is 3 years old, was hoping he had finished it | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
He had probably had a draft of it somewhere in his life of VU | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
His dog ate it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
takes 10 mins to put a wiki up. who gonna write all the shit to go into it? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
barney already has.....its across these forums everywhere | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
