Bour,
They are exemplary numbers. You can substitute any specific numbers you want in there and it is still true. It takes 14 hrs to convert, unless you speed build, in which case its more in gold. it takes 12ish hrs to attack to get the acres back and then it takes 14 hrs again unless you speed build. So Either oyu lose 40 hrs of pump and a lot of gold or you lose 26 hrs of pump and a hell of a lot of gold.
That is immutable. its not lies, its not bad faith. Its a FACT of the mechanics of the game. I could as easily have written the above with 1.25X acres, X acres and 1.375X acres and it will still be true. Math is stubborn that way.
I have repeatedly asked Emeriti to actually show a calculus of how you believe BB would be stronger. All we get is subjective garbage. If you think my calculations are wrong, even as bar bones as they are, then SHOW ME THEY ARE WRONG.
Jeeze you guys can't possible be as dim as you want us to believe! Either I have to accept that you are stupid or that you are dirty. I don't know which is worse, you tell me.
*edit*
Ah I see I was typing so fast I transposed some numbers in the third example. My latter statement is clearer.
