    Thumbs down Artisan

    Hi all,
    I just need clarification regarding The Artisan.
    * All Capacity and Flat Rate Buildings are 25% more Effective

    So does this means:
    Barren land + 18 pop
    Home + 10 pop
    Farm +87 bushels
    Bank +31 gc
    Guild 2.5% chance
    Tower +15 runes
    Stable +75 horses
    Dungeon +25 prisoners

    Thanks.

    Barren lands are not buildings. Everything else yes. Guilds % chance might not change, it might be an adjustment made after the % chance calc. So it may still have 2% chance, but then whatever that is in terms of wizzies is modded +25%. Anyone else know for sure? I do know for sure that Arty pump wizzies better than normal tho.

    Towers are 12.5 runes. The increase in wizard production is 2.5%, nothing else.

    If it's broke, fix it.
    If it's not, don't.
    If you do not like the results, change your methods.
    Quit making the same old mistakes. Make new ones.

    Thanks.
    Indeed barren lands are not buildings. XD

    The bonuses seem pretty good with 7 types of buildings 25% more effective. I can make use of the saved space.

    What do you guys think?

    If Artisan is the answer, you're asking the wrong question.

    Was potentially useful for gnomes when they had +10 population per home.

    Artisan is bad.

    Assuming you run 50% of your land in those 7 buildings, you save yourself 10% land. That's less than merchant, warrior, etc. and those personalities also have better bonuses.

    Umm, when Gnome got that bonus Arty was discontinued I believe?

    Artisan is gravely underestimated imo.

    So tell us all how artisan is more awesome than the 'big three' - warrior, mystic, and rogue.
    Catwalk's crusade for legalized cheating was a stunning success, with ghettos and low-tiered teams everywhere losing their wells of knowledge to better kingdoms in the process.

    Step one: replace everything that works.
    Step two: blame the predictable epic fail on outside forces.
    Step three: keep the community informed that no progress has been made since the last update.
    Step four: thank you for your patience.

    We've had 100-5 = +2 or -2, We've had 1/92 = .92, we've had 1 *(1-(.75*.85))=.96, and now we have .5*.25 = .1

    People who can't do math really shouldn't play this game.

    Not that I think Artisan is particularly fun. But your math is fail.

    40*1.25 = 50.

    You fail.

    You went from using 50% land to using 40% land by virtue of a 25% bonus.
    Thus, 10% land saved.

    L2math?

    Hilarious -- if you're going to call me out for doing math wrong, at least do it right yourself.

    If you run 50% of your land in those 7 buildings, you get 12.5% extra land.......... Nice try though.
