Do Not Suggest: Units cost goods

[ForgeNMP]

Currently, military units are way, way too cheap once you have the building. They should actually have a significant cost, like goods.
Every unit costs a certain amount of a particular good to train in a building. The actual amount is the same within an age, but the particular good is different for every building.

Balance: We could remove the coins and supplies portion of the cost, so the goods are the only cost.
Abuse prevention: No issues, tell if there are any.

Not sure why anybody would want an increased cost to troops but I would imagine you're in the minority and there's a certain explanation or motive behind the request.

The effect of this change would be zero on anyone playing for any length of time and potentially only have a negative impact on new players to the game that didn't know to build a traz, Once they learned about traz and spent a few 100 fps and gained the bps they would have no costs again and not need to build any troops.

I can't remember the last time I built a troop, Just moved from an era where I never built any troops (never even connected the barracks to the city) and left the era with this in stock. Don't even have a rogues hideout. What would your idea change or impact?

This change is targeted at new players, for whom it might have a larger effect. But, as a mitigation mechanic, we could disable it for BA.

So - first off you are suggesting a change to increase the cost of units (such as using goods) - and now suggesting this change should only target new players - those who have the least amount of coins/supplies/goods/troops and everything else. Can you not understand what a poor idea this is - and to follow it up by trying to amend it as an even worse idea - worse, as it would affect those who have the least to afford.
The system is fine, the system works, and creating a new system to target the most vulnerable players is such a terrible idea to even create.
