The master spreadsheets already updated to include these new buildings.

Now while we objectively try to value each building according to the boosts it provides divided by tile including roads which you can see on the QI tab how these new buildings are ranked
There is one major flaw and that is the player's age and how good the units are in that age.Since these are next age units it's then down to how good are the individual player's units of the next age.
So If you're in SASH or you move up to SAD the heavy units of the neo bus aren't useful and the artillery units of the Neo Glider lv1 aren't useful if they make SAD troops. Until that age opens then they make SASH artillery which is good.
So of the four options for players in SASH or ones soon to get there the best building is the neo glider lv2 as range units in SAD are good. Not the best but at low and medium attrition it's just fine.
A player camping in SAM will love getting Nail Storm range unit of SAAB.
A player camping in TE will love getting Hover tanks from FE by planting Neo Bus.
Iron age to colonial artillery units are quite strong until stealth units are introduced and then of course flying units.
What I'm saying is when a building gives random units of the next age well it is what it is and there isn't a lot of strategy involved. When a building gives a specific unit type like the neo glider it's best for players in some ages to keep it lv 1 even though the efficiency chart says otherwise.






I just moved up to VF so great timing for the neo bus to be released!
ReplyDeleteDare I ask about tentative timeline for gb update? Like maybe what quarter it is implemented?
