I agree with you all that we have to come up with an idea to use the relics of unboosted goods. Here is a list of options that have been mentioned so far:
- Trade for boosted relics, e.g. 5 relics of unboosted goods for 1 relic of boosted goods.
- Gain specific bonuses per relic, e.g. steel = improved battle units, marble = faster construction, planks = cheaper buildings.
- Help neighbours, e.g. with (temporarily) shortening their production time.
- Get a discount on trading.
- Trade for the goods they stand for, e.g. 1 relic gives 15 goods.
- Method to gain the goods they stand for, e.g. by the trade posts suggested in this thread (click).
- Method to get a mild culture bonus, e.g. by the regional parks suggested in this thread (click).
- Upgrade boosted manufactories, e.g. the crystal manufactory with silk relics (as the crystal manufactory already requires silk for upgrades).
- Exchange for a 'magical' bonus of some sort, e.g. improved battle units when fighting in a province with the same relics.
As you can see, many ideas are mentioned within the 12 posts of this thread and neither of those got a lot of support from other players. Furthermore, at least one other idea (also without support) has been mentioned elsewhere in the Ideas Forum:
In short: we all agree that something should be done, but we don't know what.
I'd like to ask you to use 1 post in this thread to mention all the options for the relics of unboosted goods you'd be ok with. These options could be from the list above, or could be totally new. Please be as short as you can be. If you prefer one solution above all others, please mention that as well. Together, we can create a forwardable idea!
Edit: New ideas have been added in
dark grey at April 22th.
