thoughts on Medieval Age

I need to just discuss some of my feelings and thoughts on medieval age.

I have to say I am really disappointed with losing structures. I am also worried already for the next age. Will I loose my classical age buildings? I also have to say that had I spent more blueprints on stone age buildings I really would have been mad instead of sad. the lesson I learned for my other heros was to just not build those things. So I do not even bother building the totem pole or the petroglyph now :( I do not really understand why those things become disabled :( I even do not build sheds once I have pantries researched. Why when they will go away with future research

No wonder so much history is lost on Teya if they cannot even keep their heritage through the ages.

I also feel that medieval buildings from scratch take way to long. to upgrade a level 10 garden takes 6100 iron and 4 hours with my construction at green 50%. I do like some of the new buildings. but I really miss my scouts. I also miss the level 20 scout lodge I had before I discovered it was disabled.

 I understand that the culture gained from stone age structures would make me way to large. But why not just take the culture and leave the building to look pretty? Without a red circle and line through it. Also why not allow us to have to upgrade scout lodge without blueprint to the observatory? Same with gathering point, why did it not upgrade to monastery?

 I do not want to sound like I am crying here and I can tell that I do, I just need to see if others feel the same or if it is only me?

Oh yes I forgot to add with the new corruption rate I am not sure why we will need pilgrims :( already have to many towns and not even out of classical age. Had to destroy my eighth town and without Plows on some of the others food is in minus there.

I do agree with much of this. I have not come so far in Medieval Age as Tuey, but I have seen the demise of a few buildings and Stone Age characters. I like the idea of keeping the Totem Pole, and I am sad to hear the petroglyph is going down as well. I guess it becomes obsolete, but at the same time the TT story emphasizes history and learning. So then why does it disappear?

I am looking forward to Pilgrims. I found an island or two and a few other interesting things :). I hope our resource capacity will provide me with the means to use these new Medieval characters. My army really is just stretching my food capacity as it is.

I have slowed down my research, so that I can get the buildings all promoted. I too do not like the big red obsolete sign. Plus to destroy them is so expensive and or time consuming.  

To get achievement "populated hills" (epic) you would need 16 towns, good luck!

Yeah I will admit, having my buildings go obsolete was a unexpected and unpleasant surprise... Though a technically understandable one after some thinking.

Though I guess the unexpected part is due to the fact that we don't have any more quests giving us more info about things.

Though would be rather nice if buildings that would eventually go obsolete would ether not require a blueprint to max out, or would refund the blueprint when you deconstructed the building fully. Because having a blueprint vanish into thin air is rather upsetting. Or you could just make sure we are forewarned about the whole stuff going obsolete thing way ahead of time (like still in the early stone age) so we know not to spend blueprints on any pointless buildings.

And finally having the corruption lowering building located all the way at the end of the medieval tech-tree is rather annoying IMO. Maybe having a smaller (like only 5-10%) corruption lowering building/tech in the classical age might help a little

I guess I understand what you are saying about balance, but I do not understand the thinking that people will just not continue to research. As I said I was only doing a little crying.

Dhumba the corruption lowering building only gives 5% as it is when maxed out at level 10
