Change Details

What the patch proposes is to "clean up" the technologies by mixing armor/speed techonology in one, replacing armor for health. Suitable icons to better differentiate. Increased cost and effect.

Currently there are five technologies available at the market: # traders +25% movement speed # traders +2 resistance # traders +10% gain # traders +15% gain # trade structures +10% international bonus This patch changes them: # Deleted, because it was by far the most effective, about as good as the two gain technologies combined, but cheaper than either. # Changed to +25% health (effectively about the same, but clearer to players), excluded merchant ships (who already benefit from ship technologies), and made available in the town phase. # Gain increase to +15%, slightly more expensive, different icon. # Unchanged. # Unchanged. Altogether this makes means you have c. +33% more income when fully researched, instead of c. +58% previously, decreasing the advantage of the rich over the poor.
