Empire Investments

[Klip Gooier]

Hi, I come from a financial background and have been playing the game for about a month.

I was just wondering, couldn't there be a link or something on your base screen that will show the amount of money you spent on your empire and how much its worth at the moment?

Face it, everything costs naq, and I for one would like to know how much I've spent in total to bring my empire to where it is.

It's just a suggestion, please don't flush me down the toilet if you don;t like it, LOL

It could come in handy when selling accounts... You work out how much the naq would cost and sell it at that price... It will show the true value of your realm

[Zasz]

i agree with the other 2 people on this one, if not on the selling the account for real money part. I, too would like to know how much naq i've spent on my account to get it where it is today.

[Zeratul]

who wouldnt like to know this? we too want to know, and like zasz, not for selling...

[Balladbird]

Well, it might get screwed up when you ascend cause you lose all your covert levels and UP and stuff. My account was worth more nonascended then its worth now

[Zasz]

it might, but in my thoughts, the counter would never reset, but continue counting even after you ascend.

[Zeratul]

isnt something like the counter used when calculating whatever it is one gains when ascending? (dont know what those things are called, as we have yet to ascend...)

if so, wouldn't it be quite easy to use that number in the calculation for naq value for accounts that have ascended? (i.e. current naq worth + pre-ascension naq worth = total naq worth)

[Psi Kiya Trist]

simple solution to the "ascending value" problem.

reset the counter when you ascend.

it's supposed to be a "mini reset" anyway. or at least was originally supposed to be...

i would like to know the amount of naq i have spent on my empire

[Lord Thanatos]

it is a good idea. i would like to show my friend just how much my account dwarfs his

[Chris M]

yea, would be a nice statistic to have!

would a ranking based on this be too much?
whether visible or invisable to others?

and i also believe ascensions should reset the counter

[R3B3L]

I dont think ascentions should reset the calc... I would rather know the exact amount i've spent on my account, including ascention...


Maybe do it like this:

Amount spent on account in the current state (Amount in total)

So you have a running total as well as what you've currently got on it... The "Amount spent on account in the current state" could be reset at ascention.

[Chris M]

problem is, total spent has to start when the counter does. i doubt forum would wanna go through every single transaction ever done by player x. having a account in current state is more realistic cause as time goes on it will become more and more competitive through ascensions.

if there was a way of showing, all ever spent then yes great. but not reseting the stat every ascension takes all the work before like my previous 6 ascensions out of the equation and isnt a true guage of what ive actually spent during my gaming...

current state stat ftw

[Asclepius]

I recon the stats thing is a gd idea, but probably best just to keep it as current amount spent as it's more realistic, at least at first to see if its really worth having it..
