The "Balancing Update II" post says that troops will build "up to more than twice as fast!" and shows a chart where build times for certain troop builds will go from taking 55 days to 24 days, but then later it says that build times for those same units will go from 840 seconds to 90 seconds, or from 1500 secs to 180 secs. That is more like a 90% reduction in time and is very different from the first table. Can you explain, or clarify these discrepancies?
My personal recommendation is that all troop times be reduced equally and proportionally. For instance, if axemen are reduced in build time by 60%, every unit should have the same reduction. Your charts show certain units getting bigger reductions than others, which would necessitate strategy changes.
Also, with the build time reductions, will there be any resource cost reduction? It will be impossible to keep troops queued at all times if they are building that fast but still cost the same.
Oh... is there any chance that coin costs will decrease in the future, as TW1 worlds tend to do in late stages?
