[Guide] The Gold Coin Super Guide

[Surge]

Update Changelog

-Created a new post on St. Mark's dynamics. Currently, the post describes a newbie's illusion and which type of house the building favors.

Upcoming Plans

-Update on Modern Era houses.
-Two Lane Road problem.

 

[Surge]

Update Changelog

-Updated the guide to now include Modern Era houses.
-Made moderate improvements upon the main guide.
-Updated the charts accordingly to include Modern Era houses, the new town hall income figures, and fix the "missing values" from the Iron Age Villa. As the charts exceed 1,000 pixels in length, they are /spoilered. Both charts are made by me.
-Updated the tips section about new town hall income information.
-The Raids/Conquest part of the tips is also now mostly revised to reflect on advanced gameplay.

Upcoming Plans

-Two Lane Road problem.

Wow Surge, keep up the good work! Two more things for other methods for coin gaining:
1) GB Bonuses (like the pathetic coins from St. Basils, Space Needle, etc.)
2) Quest Rewards (this actually plays a nice percentage into my coin gainage with a level 9 CF and 40 hatters :p)

I haven't actually thought of CF and the like. Thanks for the reminder! I'll get around to it when I look into two lane roads.

Update Changelog

-Updated the guide to now include Postmodern Era houses. There may be a possibility that the values will change, but considering it's been nearly a month, that is unlikely.
-Charts are updated appropriately to include the new houses.

Upcoming Plans

-Two Lane Road problem. It's been difficult approaching this, so it might not be done that soon.
-Update on the tips section to have more details on Great Buildings.

Thank you for the updates Surge.

this guide's kind of out of date. stilt houses haven't given 13 coins for ages

before: stilts: 13 coins per 15 minutes
now: stilts: 11 coins per 15 minutes

another issue: why would anybody want to use cottages until the high middle ages? clapboards are superior in every way. 240 coins in 8 hours is always better than 110 coins in 4 hours.

Good eyes Huscarl. I hadn't even realized that is the case. I should review all the values then, not just the stilt house. I'll update it the next chance I get.

Those were the only two issues I have with the guide. Other than that it seems solid.

Yeah, quite a bit of this stuff was written way back when LMA was the highest age, and that goes far back. A lot of things changed. And I did see quite a bit of high guys in HMA using cottages for some time before entering LMA, but that most likely changed now. I'll need to rewrite some stuff entirely at some point, probably when the game goes out of "beta."

Wow. That two lane road thing is quite complicated.

Surge - do you mention anything about the Shrine of Knowledge as a useful source of coin here anywhere? (i looked but couldn't find it)

 

[Surge]

Oh, darn. I forgot about those. Not just Shrine of Knowledge, but also King/Queen, Log Cabin, and maybe a few other event buildings I am missing. Thanks for pointing that out jampots. I'll work on it soon. Busy week ahead.

If there's anything you feel that's missing, be sure to tell me. I like doing updates in bulk.

Country House - The Country House can fit 207 people and produces 560 coins per hour.

Should be 8 hours, it's correct in the summary part =P

 

[Surge]

Flash edit. Thanks for pointing that out, Obblivion. I'll have to reread and rewrite the guide when I can to see if there's anything more to say.

 

[Surge]

-Rewritten all Postmodern Era houses to comply with the changes made in u1.32.

4 Hour and 8 Hour production houses net the smallest amount of money in the game, and a Hut can outrace even the mighty Apartment House in the Late Middle Age! These are worth only for the population and for overnight income, so don't fill more than half your city with these unless you desperately need population or if you are generally inactive.

I realize it's been a while since this guide has been updated, but I really think this statement here undervalues motivation. Huts outproduce apartments only if you assume 0 motivation. If you have 30 apartments and get them all motivated daily (90 motivations total), apartments outstrip hut production by a long shot, if you also assume 90 motivations of huts.
