This would make it way more manageable in less popular zones, make townboards more useful after level 60, and give people a reason to actually be able to upgrade their less popular territory without worrying about the upkeep costs being WAY more than the town is making per week
It’s a win win in my opinion
No, learn to manage your resource efficiently.
That’s a pretty good idea, mostly cause it allow the company itself to spend some time to do it directly. Basically if you’re a company that manage a remote territory it’ll allow you to maintain it without bleeding money.
??? So when a territory like ebonscale is making 5k a week you’re supposed to just leave it and never upgrade it? What even is this input?
It might be necessary to give (much) less populated settlements better means of paying for upkeep however. I never personally managed any, but it shows how the truly contested settlements are basically Windsward and Everfall. The rest seem to be mostly ignored except for showing off world dominance.
Pretty much if you don’t own windsward, everfall or sometimes depending on the server, brightwood, if you want to upgrade your territory it costs more to do that and for upkeep than the settlement makes per week
Not every settlement supposed to be viable to hold. Fight for the important ones.
There is way too many settlements on the map and with such low player cap servers have it would make even more of a stalemate/boring game if you could upgrade each to max and have decent tax income. The fact that most zones are trash create reason to attack others.
I agree that there should be some handicap on the central towns, like either heavily increased upkeep for refineries that are higher than the zone they are in, or make it impossible to build t5/t4 refineries on zones where there is no relevant resources. That way higher level zones would have little more value.
Checking governors desk:
Town: makes 800g or less per week.
Upkeep: 20000g.
“Hmm. How shall I manage my resources to pay for this?”
Owning that town sure af wasn’t worth the war declaration cost.
Should some towns be worth more than others? Sure.
Should town dynamics be so f’d that funding an edge town without letting everything downgrade to T1 requires owning Windsward to redirect money? No, absolutely not. Each town should be able to maintain itself without the company owning another.
