Discussion on % of built land captured

[Jokingjoe]

Kaz has asked for us to give feedback on the percentage of land captured remaining intact. This age was set to the low point of 8%. Previous ages have been set to a much higher 30%.

Please offer your feedback.

Me, personally--so long as it's balanced, it's fair. As I prefer warrior builds over others recently, I would like to see a higher capture rate on buildings. I feel like it weakens the war races (drob/gob/dwarf) and makes sorc races preferential.

[Aeropagitica]

Kaz was speaking with concern about the high unbuilt rates of acreage last age. Unfortunately, the low capture rate directly causes high unbuilt rates. I feel 30% captured may be a little too high, favoring warrior kingdoms too much. Something in the range of 15-20% however seems like a moderate and fair balance.

[Nymphsong]

I concur with both of your assessments, 8% is too low and actually tilted favor to a sorcerer conducting sorc kills, claiming bounties and reaping far greater benefits than that of a warrior chewing on a target. I think that the percentage of land taken should be about what Aero pointed out. Keeps things balanced.

I'd like to see more, but not too much more. If my elemental had gotten way more built land it would have been very hard for barnies to take it down a few days ago. keeps the game even.

For the purposes of discussion, I programmed 3 different options:

Low: 8%
Medium: 19%
High: 30%

That said, I'm not adverse to adding MediumLow (13.5%) and MediumHigh (24.5%)

This age was the most boring age for me as a warrior.

To the point that I haven't even logged in for the last couple of weeks/used my turns. I don't know if its because of this change or not but this is the only thing thats really changed from previous ages. So my vote is change it to high.
