Thanks for this great game and thanks for letting us know the helpers formula, but I have a problem, according to that formula I should be getting 4 helpers, since I have 1.42 trillion cookies and milk, but it only says 2. What am I missing here? Thanks in advance.
Well... Cleared cache, played for a few minutes, restarted to test if it was still broken, and in fact it is. It'd be a nice game if I could play it more than once.
Constructive criticism aside, it's a nice game, and you seem to be going in the right direction with the updates and tweaks, so thanks for a real idle game.
PS: If you're planning on doing some graphic changes, please take fix the real problems first like balancing and tweaking for people like me who want to play the game, not stare at it.
Thanks again, and good luck.
We have a programmer and story writer (me) (Not that there's any stories here but I wrote and designed Catherine's concept as well as majority of game design) , an artist, Dave, and a musician, Mishael. I'm the only one who can fix half these problems people are talking about so if we have an update that has art changes or new music, it's because the artist and musician finished their job first. Working code for a game like this is the most time consuming part. I spent all weekend 17 hours each day working on this SMALL update and it's just now hitting testing lol. ~Taiga
I'm sorry you're having troubles with the update, but I'm sure you'll deliver, as you've done before. But here are some things that I can't understand about the game: Dark Knights don't seem to affect the gains from conquered countries and the gold gain from them is insignificant compared to what we have to pay to invade; I have 180mil troops, so 153+ times what I need to attack Teiusia but for some reason it still takes me a long time to do it, what are my troops doing? And why do you keep replying to stuff like this with what appears to be jokes? There's no way we can "Throw the peasants out front in rags to shield the good troops. etc.", it seems you are mocking us instead of giving us an answer; there's no reason to have achievements that don't do anything, it's already confusing enough the way you write their descritpions, try keeping it simple, efficient.
Simple, we're people with a sense of humor. I work 50 hours a week at a really crappy job and do this in my free time. If I didn't have my humor I'd be going crazy right now. Sorry you feel mocked. Next update is allowing dark knights to help you conquer countries faster though you still can't expect to see instant results. I'm also making it so all your troops don't go fight a country with you gotta leave some behind to defend other countries. We don't feel that conquering a country in a war should be instant no matter how many troops you have. But my goal is to make resetting less 'punishing' so that is why I'm allowing dark knights to speed up battles. However the speed of the battle still depends on enemy troops and dark knight total. The goal is to make resetting more rewarding. ~Taiga
Dark Knights boost your army power and gold gains. The more you have, the more boost you get! Pro Conquest Tip: Let the altar generate a good amount of Knights before you reset for the most efficient boosts!
Working on that as we speak! Its funny that we alpha tested for almost a month and beta tested all last week and this is the first time we've seen it! Working theory is something to do with the kongregate layout. Hopefully we can get it sorted soon!
I might have expressed myself incorrectly, but what I mean about the idle miners, is that it doesn't say when is it that we gain 1, it says they give 2% each, but it doesn't say when is it that we get the idle miners.
And for some reason, I just had 2000 topaz, it said I'd get 9000+ miners if I reseted, I did and I now have 117 miners. I don't know what happened there. Please take all this as constructive criticism as I'm not ranting, I want the game to grow.
I think I already fixed the bug with it showing way too many.
You gain more idle miners the more gems you have, the amount you need increases the more idle miners you need.
I'll add that in and thank you for your feedback!
Yeah, I don't think being able to upgrade the crystal while the idle power is on is overpowered, and what I meant about the idle miners is to have something like before, where it showed it gave 100% per topaz. Now we don't know what it gives you the bonus. Thanks for replying btw.
The 1000% achievement doesn't work, I got 1005% before reseting and it never applied. Also, it doesn't make sense that we can't upgrade the crystal without losing the idle power. And it'd be nice to know what gives you the idle miners, so we know what to aim for.
Achievements will be updated tomorrow!
I'll update the idle power reset in the next update if needed.
Right now if you click the idle miner button you can see how many you will get next soft reset, could make it so it shows the cost when you won't get any.
Thanks for the feedback! :)
Abra, would it be possible to get the info on how to run Shockwave at full speed when in background? I mean, when you select another tab or open another program.
Thanks in advance.

You're forgetting the square root. It's Sqrt(2*(LifetimeCookies+LifetimeMilk)/1,000,000,000,000).
