Grinding to Level 9 Momentos

[Sir Iason]

It feels really really bad.

When you played HOURS upon HOURS to lock a specific level 9 memento that you just really wanted to try and have fun with.

And then they nerf it to ♥♥♥♥ before you even get to try it.
The AI doesn't even use momentos. And they're optional for players.
Like way to ruin the fun for people playing the game.

Just don't use them if you feel like it's not right.

[Sir Iason]

I just went into the game code and reverted Padron Real to the previous version.

Because I refuse to allow the game I paid for to be less fun than it was yesterday.

[Talon Rose]

It seems like they're unnecessary blanket nerfs. Almost if not totally universally worse.
"Double world wonder yield" changed to...2 happiness per age. OH WOW SIX HAPPINESS AT THE END WOOOOOOOOW.
Absolutely useless and insulting.

Already pure luck finding a WW, then settling next to it, but no, we gotta ruin *that*.
Pissed about the trinket nerfs too.

he said he wanted to use the version they nerfed, not that he wanted to not use them at all.

Inb4 they make some mementos take up two slots, now that'd be funny.

[JerBeware]

Agreed.

Of all the things to 'fix' right now, this one doesn't feel great. That being said, there's almost never a good time to 'nerf'.

If anything, it just further goes to show the lack of testing on their end.

[Affronter]

I haven't done any game grinding since my MMO phase 10+ years ago.

[azmundai]

just wait till they nerf the ones you grinded (ground?) into the ground .. imagine this game getting worse somehow ...

How

I cheesed it.

Went into the leader effects file and edited Isabella's base yield bonus from 100 to 200 - just to see how cool it would've been for one game.

Isabella hasn't changed. She still gets double wonder yield. I think they were referring to a memento.

Use mods to unlock all mementos, and then use other mods to put whatever values you want on any mementos/leaders.

in b4 'start ancient era with battering Ram'

I like the whole unlock and exp. system. It gives me an incentive to try out leaders multiple times and go for different victory conditions with them, which I normally wouldn't do.

It should not feel grindy though, so if it does, it seems like it's a good idea to use an aforementioned mod to just unlock everything.
