I think troops from other countries should be removed but without the need of replacing it with anything. Reason why would be they provide so little troops by the time your done conquering everything the most they would've done would probably wash dishes for your massive dark knights & normal standing army :p.

Hard reset: "!!! This will reset all your data and achievement. This action can not be undone!!!"
so basically you didn't do the "Dark Knight Reset"

Does anyone have any idea when the number of dark knights gained on reset would make it worth it? Or even what they do?

@Ndaeluu: You did the "!!HARD RESET!!", which resets everything including Dark Knights. You need to do the "DARK KNIGHT RESET".
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@Ndaeluu, it did exactly what it was supposed to do. For a soft reset, you are supposed to go into "options" and click "dark knight reset". The "hard reset" button is in red and warns that you will erase **all** data if you use it.

I had 53K Dark Knights. It said I would get 552k after hard reset. I did a hard reset and my DK's are 0. Why did this happen? Not only did I not get the ones promised, but it took away all the DK's I already had. It worked fine the 1st 2 times I did a reset.

This game doesn't have much content, but the content is has is very well presented. However, it is in severe need of tuning. Costs grow too quickly relative to benefits. The best solution to keep people coming back is not to keep nerfing benefits so that no one can progress to the end, its to increase the available content.
Yotsuba, you are done a -great- job with the flavor text and the look and feel, but you should -never- have building upgrades which give -less- than double benefit, if you still want to maintain an exponential cost curve where each upgrade is at least an order of magnitude more expensive.
Dark knights do not function here as they do in other idles, because their benefit grows -linearly- when the costs are exponential. You are forcing very long wait times to make any progress, during which most players will lose interest.
I chose a system that is different from other idle games. If the costs were linear for the economy structures this would be a 1-2 day idle game. How long have you been playing? People who have been idling for a month are at the point where world conquest is a daily thing sometimes more than once per day. A guy resets with 2 million dark knights and gains 8 days worth of idling back in a day. We were going to likely add a new world to conquer after the first one that will act as a 'late game idle' for people who have tons of resources. In edition to this, conquered countries will be reworked to allow you to use troops to increase their benefit and there will be several new economy structures, achievements and upgrades to go with this. That is how I intend to 'balance' it. But I will not be making DK bonuses multiplicative, nor will I be making costs linear. I know what I'm doing with the math in that regard. ~Taiga

There seem to be a hard cap for army power multiplier from dark knights. After reaching 1.5 army power per troop, the multiplier no longer increase with additional dark knights.

hey man great game just do me one little favor please and when the game gets popular and achievements are added dont get greedy for kreds please some of us enjoy playing a free to play game and dont spend money thank you
Once the game feels polished, we will be adding cosmetic kreds content that do NOT speed up game progress or act as a pay-to-win in any way. Assuming the game is still going strong after polishing. We believe that games should be balanced and fun to play without the need to spend money to get ahead of everyone. If you want to get ahead in Idle Conquest, it will always be about idling. ~Taiga

@ Hauntred, I had about 1.66-1.7 millions of DK when I conquered world for the first time, but had some achievements nicely developed and it took me quite long. Not sure where should someone attempt first full conquer to make things most optimal, maybe something between 2M - 4M DK?

really like the new update, just a small nitpick: the misc information screen says total troop per secend /s this is incorrect should be either total troop per second or total troop/s, keep up the great work
Well silly me for not realizing troop was already plural. Yet with my dialect I've been saying troops my whole life and now it sounds strange to just say 'troop' >_> I don't know if I'll change it. ~Taiga

If you nerf the world conquest dk multi, then really what will BE the point in doing that? Im already at the point where in one world conquer, still takes me a week to get double the amount of DK's. any longer, and I just may as well STOP playing this.
If I did nerf it, it would be AFTER I've added the new country conquest system because then you guys are getting 24 places to use your troops to gain more money and at least 5 different economy structures to use to gain more money PLUS with our game's continued growth we will be working on a new world to conquer with more countries to use your troops to gain more money. I will see how much this adds to the game before a 'nerf' happens in that regard. But there is no nerf right now nor for the next update. In fact there's more buffs for the next update because I'm making the visual novel aspect add some benefits such as Catherine has 3 moods she can be in, depending on which mood she is in you get a buff to certain things such as combat speed. In edition, the more conversations you've seen the more global multipliers gained. ~Taiga

"DEVELOPER RESPONSE FROM YOTSUBA83
It makes a HUGE difference to the point where I am rethinking about how much it gives lol. Might drop it to 2 instead >_> ~Taiga"
If you're gonna change it to +2 multiplier per world conquest, could you buff the altar achievements to give +5 multiplier each achievement? Don't know how to phrase it but basically 100 altar ach = +5 multi, 200 altar ach = +10 multi (total from achi now would be +15 multi), 300 altar ach = +15 multi etc. Currently with 9 achievements you would with this get +225 altar multiplier for having all 9 achievements, as well as the +2 pr world conquest as you suggested. This would nerf lategame and buff earlygame for the newcomers.
Looking forward to your quest system btw, hope it's coming soon!

Btw, I'd like to ask, how long did it take you guys to conquer the world for the first time since you started this game?

I'm a little confused as to why anyone would want to war the other countries when the rewards are so small? E.g., the first one costs 50 million and barely gives anything for conquering. The money is much, much better spent on anything else. Am I missing something here?
While building costs rise as you buy them, country war costs stay the same. Dark knights influence country GAINS and each country finishes in between 8-12 seconds. So eventually countries are more profitable due to them costing the same and giving you a crap ton more based on the dark knights you own. I plan to rework the entire conquering rewards system after my next update so stay tuned for that. ~Taiga

Does the DK carry over from first reset to second?
I am about to reset 1st time for 50K
If I reset the 2nd time, do I lost that 50K?

Once you conquer a county, the name touria should get bigger with it, until you conquer the world, and the map says "The known world of Touria." Not necessary but would be a cool edition.
I'll coordinate with my artist who made the map and see if we can edit it. I really like this idea too and many people have suggested it before :) ~Taiga

I'm torn between finishing my world conquest (only the Grey Isles are left), or doing a dark knight reset (about 4 mil dark knights waiting for me). How worth it is the conquest multiplier?

Okay, apparently it has happened AGAIN. I don't understand why this is happening, but I lost data twice so far. Any insight on what may be the cause of this?
Our game serializes data onto your hard drive. If you have a firewall or ANY software that could be blocking or stopping Unity Webplayer for performing the serialization, that would be the reason. ~Taiga

@michael238, if you go to "options" and click "dark knight reset", you can read the description of what they do and how much one affects you. It's probably a good idea to wait for 100k+ before a first reset, since they individually don't do that much.

@Yotsuba83 Awww, but she so obviously has a crush on the General. How cruel, denying her True love... :p

@lukasbryant: 1 week later you are going to say the oposite. We all have too many troups (even without trying to get them) and too little gold to conquer.
Thank you! I've been working twice as hard too :3 You will all love this visual novel I have programmed. I finally cracked the logic puzzle and can do things such as create 'moods' for Catherine based on how you talk to her oh I can't wait! I also allow you to choose your gender so she will refer to you as a he or she for more personalization hehehe ~Taiga

Well, there goes my save data.
Was well on my way to getting 1million DK too...
Is this a reset via development or by possibly client/computer?
I apologize for your data loss. This is an idle game where people spend weeks to months playing to get their resources good and if we reset people's data or we did anything to cause massive data loss it would inevitably cause the destruction of our game's success all within a split second. If you experience data loss it is related to a number of reasons such as firewall issues, virus scanners, malware... anything at all on the internet that could cause a 'blip' in the serialization and loading of the data being written to your hard drive. We recommend using our "Export" feature located under options and paste that into a notepad file every day before you close the game. Those will always work when loaded back into the game so they are a wonderful way to be sure your data is never lost. ~Taiga

I have heard that you are making more interactions with Catherine. Would Romantic Interactions be a possibility...?
Vote up if you agree.
I likely won't be making the interaction with Catherine a 'romantic' kind of thing. The interaction will be humorous and allow you to learn about Catherine's past and why she wants to conquer the world as well as make world conquest feel more rewarding and 'alive' because right now it's so boring I am ashamed of myself for releasing the game the way it is. ~Taiga

Uhm,i just conquered The Grey Isles for the third or fourth time with around 7357 black knights and 3000+ ready for the reset,but when i came back to the game i had 0 knights,0 army power,nothing conquered,1 troop,no achievements etc.Can someone help me?
How did you conquer grey isles for the third or fourth time with only 7357 dark knights? I don't think it can be done even if you started playing my game immediately after it was released...? ~Taiga

Man, once you get that world onquer bonus for the first time, its becomes alot easier to make DK's. Then, every other World conquer makes that game go by alot faster then the last one.
