Please catalog your experiences with the new bonuses here. I have chosen to purchase two points of reduced building costs in alliance. So far so good.

I played 126 turns today, mostly building turns. I definitely have more cash than I would have otherwise at this point of my startup. When I convert to tech will be the real tell though.

They probably need to be adjusted for the one month and two month servers.

I think the current costs are fine for alliance. I agree they need changing in the one month servers.

By "one month servers" I mean express and tourney and by "two month servers" I mean primary and team. Probably not clear.

It's if you put all of the servers at a standard turn rate equal to primary. Primary is about twice as long as tourney and alliance is about three times as long as tourney.

Not at all, just hang on until you have enough for one of the good bonuses.

I have invested totally in luck since my initial 2 purchases of building expenses. Why am I still having so many negative events? One batch of teching (it was 60 turns) gave me 2 tax rebates and a worker strike. WTF? I thought I was spending my points to be MORE lucky!

if we could use points to buy turns... in the next round, it might be better if we could also buy points using turns... just suggesting...

Luck works fine.

Based on my clan's strat data on people who went with investing in luck last reset. It seriously is luck whether it helps or not. It had a big impact on a couple of countries and little to no impact on others. my only conclusion was that maybe country name or number impacts on luck :P

Not posting on AT as much because Maki/Steeps gave back some of my forums on GHQ. RIP my decade long blog, my blog even had replies from people who are no longer with us :(.
