Recently the game raised the value of resources. A great move. Since all but 100 cities are controlled by 3 alliances, more income is needed for the other players.
But in raising the resource values was the fact that resource cities are now far more profitable considered? I wonder if it got lost in all the doings.

With more resources being planted than ever before the big three alliances are bringing in so much cash from the resource cities that it is imposable to take them away from them. For example, Atlanta, what with the smaller cotton area should be the smallest resource city by far is bringing in 3500 a day. Since Nukes just kill the armies and they loose no income there is no way to stop them from the income. Oil was at 5k last i owned it, and now is prob closer to 8k a day.

So could some thought be given to lowering the resource cities take? Even if the resource values are raised again like it would be awesome to do, currently the income from the resource cities is far to high.

Though the raising of resource values was a great move to bring balance back, it unfortunately seems to have caused the balance to swing because of the resource cities.

Ressource cities are really expensive to control. If u compare the income of the city with the amount of troops you lose from it, it should be around the same as if u hold NYC and the amount of troops u lose defending it.

Resource cities get you more income because they are usually the cities that have to be defended well and more!

Making them earn less would make them useless imo

Exactly. And actually Atlanta is making less money than it used to in Beta.

Well can we at least get the interest raised for over 100k? this 1% crap sucks.

it actually drops down to 0.5% once you are over 45k geos. Interest is a lot tougher in this version. You would have to own (to my knowledge) 195k geos to make the 1,550 you used to make with 60k geos in beta. This is primarily done to prevent farm accounts that find it beneficial to save and not spend.

"the interest rate is 3% for the first 10000 Geos, 2% for the next 15000 Geos, 1% for the next 20000 Geos, 0.5% for the next 25000 geos, and 1% for the rest" If you own more than 70k (like I do which you can easily guess :D) you get more interests again.

actually you make 1,55o geos interest at approx 150k...:)

Yeah it was to much fun to have starchy tell us what was in his bank when i knew what it was cause of my bank. heheh

Maybe some day I'll know what you all are talking about...

Strange - Some players seem to earn 1% over 70k, and others seem to earn .1% over 70k...And it seems to change from time to time...

Yea why the hell did it go down?!?!?

For your total * geos banked, the interest rate is 3% for the first 10000 Geos, 2% for the next 15000 Geos, 1% for the next 20000 Geos, 0.5% for the next 25000 geos, and 0.1% for the rest.

because you don't have enough value or city value!!!
I can recall 4 million is the border to change from 0.1% to 1% for the rest...
so will need to hold more cities than interest will go up...
or supply Luke enough beer than you will get 2% for the rest...;ibeer
