Request to testers: Classical Age journal

It would be really helpful if you make a diary of your Classical Age progress - like what you researched and built in which order and how much time it took for you + any of your thoughts on your progress. That would be really helpful to us to balance Classical Age properly.

Do you want a daily or weekly entry from a player?

I've started with polytheism after mining but it seems pretty useless since I can't build residence. I can't build anything, not even houses.

Now I am doing writing and it will take me aprox. 7 days. Let's hope I will upgrade the resources more (from three towns).

We should be able to upgrade first the resources, the huts, the chieftain hut, all together or in the first wave, anyway.

I started with mining.  I have been upgrading production facilities and researching polytheism, which I started as the next lowest in research points and to get houses.  I plan to research writing next.  Classical age research has taken a minimum of three days so far.

I started researching Mining first.  Then I researched Polytheism.  I don't recall how long it took for those two.  I am unable to build anything with Polytheism.  The Temple is in the build inventory but it says "under construction" and I also need a level 3 residence.  

I'm now researching Strategy.  I have 7 days left.  I'm using the petroglyph (when I remember to fill it up) at level 7 in my first town and level 5 in the second town.  

There might be a lot of downtime during some of these research categories that take weeks.

I have two towns.  One shrine is at level 9 and the other is at 7 (second town).

My production facilities:  

First town:  Crops:  2 at level 8; 3 at level 7; 1 at level 9.  Lumber:  2 at level 7; 1 at level 9; 1 at level 8.  Iron:  4 at level 4; Stone:  4 at level 8.

Second town:  Food:  5 at level 4.  Wood:  3 at level 5.  Stone:  3 at level 4; and Iron:  2 at level 2; 2 at level 1.

Is that all you need?

I'm assuming you don't want a list of all of the other stone age buildings so wont post them unless you say you need them.  I started classical age tech with mining and am currently researching sailing.  I started that 3 days ago and it was 20? days I think, then you tweaked the timings and yesterday when I logged on it was down to 13 days.  By building the Petroglyph in both towns yesterday and upgrading them both my research time is now down to 7 days as I'm keeping tasks qued in each of my Petroglyphs.

All five heroes have two towns each.  I took a reading last night at around 9-10 p.m. (2200 hrs) my time (GMT-4, I think).  Resource production is essentially the same.

Polytheism first, writing second masonry third.

06/20:  Masonry started 1 day + 9 hours.  Dwelling shrine=10; Dwelling petroglyph=8 and is constantly running;

Second town shrine=6; petroglyph is L5

06/21:  Masonry 18 hours, 52 minutes left at 11:30 a.m. my time.  15% of dwelling resources diverted to research.

Dwelling shrine replaced with Library L 5; petroglyph L8.  Second town shrine and petroglyph unchanged.

Dwelling Resource Production: 4 L 8 stone; 3 L 3 iron, 1 L2; 1 L10 lumber, 2 L8 lumber, l L9 lumber; 3 L7 food, 2 L8 food, 1 L9 food.

Second town Resource Production:  3 L4 stone; 5 L2 iron; 5 L3 food, 1 L4 food; 3 L6 lumber.

Edmundsdatter:

Polytheism first, masonry second, writing currently.

Last night the time remaining for masonry completion was 3 days, 4 hours.  At 7:40 this morning the time remaining was 2 days, 19 hours.  Petroglyphs were running all night.  The time at 11:30 this morning is 2 days 16 hours.

Dwelling shrine=L10 (10% diversion); petroglyph=L7.

Resource production in dwelling:  1 L10 food, 3 L7 food, 1 L6 food; 3 L8 lumber, 1 L7 lumber; 1 L10 stone, 1 L9 stone, 2 L8 stone; 3 L2 iron, 1 L3 iron.

Second town shrine=L7 (7% diversion), petroglyph=L5.  Production:  5 L4 food, 1 L3; 2 L7 lumber, 1 L6; 4 L3 stone, 1 L2 quarry; 4 L2 iron.

I will have to provide more information regarding the remaining three in another post as I am pressed for time.

Started researching in Classical Age yesterday, started with Polytheism and it took me over three days.

One Town
Shrine: L 10
Crop Fields: L 7 & 8
Lumber Fields: L 7
Stone Fields: L 7
Got Petroglyph and leveled up to 3
Founded new town and Shrine leveled up to 3
Next started Writing, will take 5 days, 7 hours, 30 min
Have two cities:
Shrine level 10 & 3
Crops Town 1: L 8 & 9
Crops Town 2: L 3
Lumber Town 1: L 7
Lumber Town 2: L 5
Stone Town 1: L 6 & 7
Stone Town 2: L 2
Petroglyph L 3

Do you still need reports?

Researching Mining – 2 days 19 hours

Only one town

5 gardens lvl 6;1 garden lvl 7

3 forestries lvl 8; 1 forestry lvl 9

2  stfields lvl 6; 2 stfields lvl 7

Sheds: Crop lvl 12 Stone lvl 12 Lumber lvl 17

Shrine lvl 9, Chieftan hut lvl 9, Petroglyph lvl 7 but I used it once at level 5 and then forgot about it

I am just checking what you actually need. Do you want to know the number of science points being attributed at a particular moment, as is shown by the Shrine of Knowledge, or do you need a snapshot of all production, as is found in a report when one is spied upon?

Also, in addition to the level of the petroglyph, are you requiring the number of tablets and types which are used?

I guess since the recent changes we cannot spy on ourselves anymore.

Should all speed ups being used be listed as well.

I'll update this post as I move foward on Classical Age.

Here's my report:

AvantheTotem (my first and only town atm)

Chieftain Hut lvl 8

Shrine of Knowledge lvl 9

Altar lvl 7

Petroglyph lvl 7

Gardens lvl 4

Forestries: 2 at lvl 6 and others at lvl 5

Stone: 2 at lvl 6 and others at lvl 5

First of all, I researched Petroglyph and then upgraded it to level 3, then I started researching Mining, which took about 3 days and 22 hours, while researching Mining, I keep building tasks and upgrading Petroglyph until lvl 7. After completing the research, now I'm upgrading the Iron Camps.
