ok hydna, that's true, your points perfectly makes sense now that i think about it.
the only problem i still see is that sure, it will require time, lot of time. but there are players who are playing this game for 10/11 years now, and lot of those have atleast 5 crowns. "it will require lot of time" isn't really a good reason for it to be so strong because it looks like you think this game will die in 2 years.
a good possibility could be stronger artifacts (2% instead of 1.2 for warehouse?) with lower level cap. so everyone has access to it to maximum level without wasting 15 years and winning 1 world could actually make you feel happy. let's be honest, 4 artifact levels on favors is 12 bonus favors.... who cares? like really, who cares?
or 4% less bp needed for villages.
the idea itself make lot of sense it sounds cool and a good update for the game. but the risk is having a game being the opposite of what we are playing now
grepolis now: if you have crown you are happy, if you don't it's fine. if you won domination you are happy, if you didn't you don't care
grepolis with artifacts level: if you win once you don't care. if someone wins 5 times he is much stronger than others.
and
@Lethal-Bacon i know the warehouse makes a difference "only" with nereids, great arming... but honestly it is also a big up for golders. with 41k warehouse, level 20 aristotle and nereids i can probably gold 350 ls with 350 gold (i didn't do the math but i'm pretty sure it is either 350 gold or 520) therefore it means someone can gold unlimited ls nukes with basically no gold needed. a lot of things about artifacts have lot of pros and cons. if they aren't well balanced this could ruin the game even more. (also, who is going to tryhard to win a 1% cost reduction on villages? none.)
