Increase the gold made from playing cRPG

[Slamz]

Current rules:
1x - 2x multi = no gold
3x - 4x multi = 1 gold per minute
5x multi = 2 gold per minute

So let's call it 1 gold per minute on average.

If you play for 3 hours, you'll generate 180 gold.

This is just enough gold to pay the bill for 128 troops, assuming you play for 3 hours every day and don't get stuck at x1 for too long.

It will also buy you 1 mediocre weapon, or about half of a German Greatsword.


Meanwhile, 3 hours of not logging in will get you 3 goods in Strat, which can easily be worth 180 gold with a moderate trade run.  And you can generate 24 of those every day without needing to play or log in at all, generating 1440 gold (this is a mid-range figure.  You can get a lot more if you do long distance trades, which many clans are doing).


Can we not make cRPG generated gold worth at least something useful in Strategus?


I propose:
1x - 2x = 0 gold
3x - 4x = 5 gold
5x = 10 gold

So playing for 3 hours will net you around 900 Strategus gold.

That's by no means a substitute for trading but it may help you maintain your army in an emergency and gives some meaning to the gold you make while playing.

I'm not sure the numbers you're providing are accurate - I will be stuck at x1/x2 for hours and still walk away with strategus gold.


BUT I do agree, I think that the tie-in benefits from playing cRPG need to be better.  Additional gold would help.  chadztext is the real problem but that's not an issue for here. 


*Edit: also, I don't think the multiplier bonuses need to be so insane.  I think the idea would be to try to convince people to play more cRPG not to get them even more frustrated about not having a multi...
