You know Dev's, back in the day, whoever stole or scammed someone, was hanged!
I suggest the Dev's give us a new building, the sharif Office! We could control our own building production rates!
Everybody who is whining about island space totally do not understand the progression of economies at all. In an emerging economy you produce the few things that you can and hope to not go too far into debt (not possible in this game but that's irrelevant) importing the rest. In an establish economy you produce everything you could possibly need and import/export with fluctuations in supply/demand. In an elite economy (this is where all top level players come into play) you produce only the best/top line stuff and import everything else because you're trade ratio's are ridiculous. So basically, all those top level players complaining about island space need to start deleting everything to do with pine, your fisherman, and some combination of final production lines of copper/wheat. In a nutshell, choose to specialize in the upper level products and export excess/small amounts to players who aren't/can't produce at rates like ya'll can.
Very good points.
But, the level 50's in TSO are already doing that, they already have other players stimulating their economy. I have level 50 friends, their only purpose in TSO is to produce 1 thing, and they have other players investing their resources to make a potential profit. (and most are very "rich" because of that)
But that's where it ends berg. The level 50's, they are already doing what you are suggesting. So they need more land. Their islands are optimized for that 1-2 products. all or most buildings are level 5 not because they are making profit but because they will "go under" otherwise.
Also, many other level 50's don't specialize. they are generalized producers. But they too will still need more land. And building licences too.
So as for production rates, what i said was a joke.
If the level 50's are asking for more land, they must have a full island. Why else are they asking?
Also, i have said this before, This is a game. the economy isn't based on the real world, or we all would be in trouble. The Dev's control the economy.
Final Point: The BB's are reading our posts. We have seen many proposed and done updates that were player inspired. Also, the BB's have said in this very Dev diary that there many more changes to be made on what we have been told here. We just might get more land because of what we have right now is so small. We might get to destroy those pesky trees for good, who knows.

Ok so whats the point of a 500 general that cant lead an attack. I do like the idea some mentioned with this General being a ship. Its makes alot of sense
Zeus Artillerist {Gnomelot}
Ares AAtillerist {Weeble Nation}

You don't understand what I'm saying. There is room on the island to build roughly 350 buildings (that's an estimate as my island is roughly 40% full at 165 buildings, if you know an exact number then kudos, but let's assume 350 for now). Therefore, since there is room on the island for 350 buildings, that's your budget. Take those 350 buildings and maximize your island however you wish, I know budgets are an unpopular concept in America but the reality is if you want to produce a bunch of the new science materials there is plenty of room on the island to do so, they just might not be able to produce as much bread/steel swords/gold coins/etc that they want as well.
I get that players want new expansive content and I sympathize, but what they don't understand is that this is a free to play game, and therefore unless they are investing $10+ dollars a month into the game like someone playing WoW or a similar game would be (something I highly doubt the level 50 players are as there just isn't much that gems can buy them at that point), then basically asking for a bunch of new content all the time is saying "I like what you have already given me for free, but it's not quite enough, give me more free stuff". If this is a pay to play game then gripe away cause you have paid for the right, but since it's free, either ask politely and patiently for improvements or don't say anything at all.
that's all I have to say about that
Looks good BB. I see alot of players saying and agree with them about not having room to build these new buildings. some are saying to add more land and what not. I think that a quick and easy solution to this problem of not having room to build these buildings and fear of losing pop would be to simply make Floating Residences Giftable.
please dont forget the increase in levels over 50 so the people lvl 50 can experence them fully
