It seems that your preferences are different than other people who prefer the new farming system than the old one.
So far, so good...
The difference is quite noticeable when you have 5 or more cities. With the old system, there is no flexibility in timing of farming. With the new system, you actually can control and knowing when your farming time is up.
Not true. mood goes up at a fixed rate, it just takes basic arithmetic skills to figure out when you will be able to farm again, use the market again, and when to attack with the old system. The new system has two timers; mood and the regular one.
Either system promotes clickers that who click more will get more resources. But in a long term, the new system wins in making farming more tolerable and not a chore. Just imagine having 50 cities. You can just do it per 4 hours or 10 hours wait instead of doing rounds and rounds of clicking to send str-ing and farming.
Have you actually done the math on how often you can farm with the old system? I can not remember exactly how the mood reduces, but with the new system you must farm every 5, 10, 20, or 40 minutes or lose unacceptable efficiency. With the old system there was only one time to worry about at higher levels. And that is a long time
I know which one I prefer.
I am not sure yet myself, so I do not care which you prefer, as long as you can back that up.
Is that a fair comment? Troll?
Not troll, just un-supported
