Negotiations in Guild expeditions are so expensive

[Amitis the Ravager 919]

Hello Forgers,

Have you noticed that you spend more in negotiations than you receive goods during expeditions? On an average you spend 15-20 goods per negotiation, whereas, if you were to receive goods as reward, you hardly get 10-20 goods.

That's actually not that much once you manage to build up your city. But then you will prefer to fight trough GE, in the meantime you can always plunder more goods.

Save your Goods and fight, you'll probably get Medals from the Towers too. Goods are too valuable for Negs, think of all the Trades you're losing.

If just comparing goods
They are not worth but consider other rewards too such as diamonds, fps, and tf etc

If GE gave too many goods or troops then it'd basically be handing out free diamonds, FPs and Crowns to the guild. I haven't bothered keeping track of how many goods and troops GE brings in, but I've always assumed it would cost more in goods or troops received then spent given those things supplement your ability to proceed further. (unless of course you manage to do it without losing anything which would be possible with troops but not goods)

I negotiate through pretty much all of GE but only because I’m using my level 59 space carrier and tavern extra turn boost.. I can fight the whole way through with my army (even with a pretty mediocre attack boost 580/298) but that’s mostly because some of the armies in the later stages are just daft.. encounters 63 & 64 in SAAB GE I can kill with VF rocket troops without any injuries at all to my army..
But if I did fight through I’d have to spend far more goods negotiating RQ’s and in GbG (with only 3 turns in GbG)
Overall I think I work out about even on goods due to the goods gained from diplomatic gifts

Bet the extra FPs from Space Carrier is quite nice too

Like Himeji it’s a bit hit & miss sometimes you wander “why the hell have I got that 4x7 white elephant in my city” lol
But on occasion it rains FP’s

Why don't you negotiate at low attrition
It will be much use

3 turns only and even at low attrition it can be between 8 or 10 different goods

Naah still it's very easy

No body is cheaper than free - it shouldn't cost anything to do a negotiation.
