1. Introduction
Hello
Since we are not able to view upgrades until your faction leader has opened a tree I thought it could be useful to have a small list compiling all branches and all specials they have to offer!
This guide was last updated on 19/01/2018 and is up to date to that point!
2. Core upgrades

- Member capacity
- Branches
The first branch you unlock will be the cheapest, after that cost will increase exponentially (1x -> 2x -> 4x -> 8x -> 16x -> 32x) So be wary of what upgrades you choose first and in what order you chose them!
- Armoury
- Territories
Teritories Respect Needed 1 1,295 2 1,678 3 2,173 4 3,067 5 3,972 6 5,144 7 6,662 8 8,628 9 12,180 10 15,773 11 20,427 12 26,453 13 37,341 14 48,358 15 62,625 16 81,100 17 105,027

Special thanks to Franky and FIN for this.

Posted on 17:26:11 - 17/01/17 (9 years ago)Post link copied to clipboard Copy post linkare you planing to include the tasks we need to do to unlock the diffrent upgrades aswell?
also, maybe mention something about the respect cost. still trying to figure out if the doubling of the cost for each branch means the cost to unlock the branch itself or if it's for all upgrades within that branchLast edited by Lord_Gorgen on 17:26:41 - 17/01/17 (9 years ago)The lord has entered the forum, time to bend over and say "Yes my lord".

See, it is possible to make an informative guide that doesn't have the word count of a Dickens novel. Now we just have to hope Harley isn't embroiled in some stocks disaster.ligma

Posted on 17:37:08 - 17/01/17 (9 years ago)Post link copied to clipboard Copy post linkI'll definitely look to expand the guide with challenges and so on, but I don't want to make the guide to cluttered, so I'll have a think about making perhaps a few tables or something else to make it an easy read, which I personally don't have time for right now.

Seriously? 25% interest wtf?
Sure you didn't missread that or something? 25% would be far to overpowered.
Seems more likely to me it's 5% increase of the curent 3% we have per upgrade, so that at max it'll be 3,75%.
Edit:
Or maybe I missread your post lol..Last edited by Lord_Gorgen on 17:53:10 - 17/01/17 (9 years ago)The lord has entered the forum, time to bend over and say "Yes my lord".

Posted on 17:55:43 - 17/01/17 (9 years ago)Post link copied to clipboard Copy post linkso, how much respect does it cost to get all the upgrades?
-
-
Posted on 17:56:33 - 17/01/17 (9 years ago)Post link copied to clipboard Copy post linkIt's definitely 25%

It's not just a flat increase though, I'm sure. That'd indeed be overpowered, as you said.
It's probably just 0.005 (base interest) X 1.25?
I'll change the wording though, it might be confusing if I say "up to" :)Last edited by Harley on 17:57:02 - 17/01/17 (9 years ago) -
