[Suggestion] Automatically Increase Yields when Upgraded Tech Unlocks

from Elemental Forums

Playing through my latest game I started to wonder if perhaps the AI could perform better if it could spend more time building troops and not rebuilding (upgrading) so many buildings.  And I will admit I quickly get bored with clicking through build queues to see what needs upgrading.

I realize that city building is a big part of the game, but perhaps things like shards, crystal mines, farms etc could just ramp up production with the appropriate tech.  Certainly leave World Achievements and One per Faction Wonders in the game, but the mundane upgrading of mana output/iron/foodstuffs is fairly micro.

One idea would be to make a risk associated with upgrading Shards, perhaps your lust for MOAR POWER! }:)   leads to a demonic rift spewing foul beasts or nuking your territory into a new Wildland.  Maybe you should be happy with the modicum of power the Gods have seen fit to grant you, or this makes outposts more valuable as you don't want to risk building a city too close to a Shard.  

 

Or the resource you need more of runs the risk of playing out, or there is a miners' strike.

 

These could be new random events as well, I suppose.  But what do you all think?

There should be events of information that AI developed a fantastic power technology which is not inthe tech list and thus not available ti human player. For example, some day comes the message that Trogs discovered ancient monument and decipheres new techs as Bunny Slippers which give flight and complete immunity from normal weapons and Giant Lolipop which makes holes in teeth! All human players cry in fear: "O My God, they invented Bunny Slippers and Giant Lolipop. We can't fight against them! Mighty AI is coming for us and will be here in 785 days and surely will kill us!!! We will all die!!!"

Sort of like the GC2 slowly rising faction power event...  but with hillbillies and banjos?    XD
