U missed the point- gold towers made little difference on the economy according to drac, though i believe it did have a bigger impact than he suspects. u times that 115gc (and i assume ppl x2 it) so lets say an even 200gc per day ish times 500 (prob a low estimate of the people who received their free gold towers) which is an extra 100k gc per day. that may not sound like alot but u then think that since xmas about 4months has gone by- so since then about 12mil gold coin has been added to the open market circulation- this is not the main factor to the "breaking" of economy but def has made a higher impact than perceived. The RPH def made the greatest difference but these 2 factors combined brought us to where we are today, where gold coins hold significantly less value and predictions say it will only get worse.
The link for my photo isn't working as it should. (so I deleted the above post)
I wanted to share an image of a level 6 mayors house I made. I entered it into the weekly photo contest a few weeks ago.

and why no flags????? would be nice to see them in the shop again.
I'm glad that a few players had the chance to get a gold tower and everyone can get them by doing the fairytale adventures.
Still around from time to time.
I'm not sure I'd bother with something like the gold tower if I were BB. Now people apparently expect something like that every couple months. I'll be happy with an improved storehouse. It's not great and may be oddly shaped, but everybody can make some use out of it. For those who think it's not worth it, they won't care if they miss out.
I take it the situation with stone never really changes. I don't think that's the point. If you're doing something to one mason, might as well do it to another. More marble is pretty helpful, but I would have concerns about upkeep as well. I currently search about once a day for level 3, which works out pretty well. I don't really have time to search twice a day. I could probably send out those three geologists I have no use for twice each in the morning before work, but I still think it would be a struggle. Farms, however, are the perfect building for an increase, though silos really should go along with them.
