Crystals to advance on the next era?

[nomaden09]

I think this kind of idea is ridiculous and should be removed in the game. this way you create a pay to win game. How could you upgrade your circle of worship using 10, 20, 40 crystals? You expect us to spend our time just praying in those little circle?
No freakin way

And if you ask us to collect the cave potrait while praying, i wont invest my time in this game. Those system sucks, RNG for 5% upgrade is really funny, and you only get 5 CRYSTALS FRAGMENTS for each duplicate you found.
im done with this game if its keep going on.

I am able to produce 4 types of paintings so far, when I get duplicates they are worth 5, 10, 15, and 30 crystal fragments so along with praying I can get 1-2 crystals every 4-5 hours by trading in my fragments. You just need to manage your inventory and stockpile your paintings rather than opening them up one by one. Paintings don't count as inventory so that helps a lot.

the crystals is not a problem... GEMS... they can't be mined, looted, or someway directly earned... only THE GREAT HOLY RANDOM could barely cover your needs in them. femmfa, look at the "ART" section of paintings ))) (hint: the green paint and 1 emerald that you need to produce each of it)

I must play differently than you because I have a lot of emeralds. I look apon the game as a time management one whereas the crystal gems are my goal. Paintings and praying for fragments are my producers and the totems give me the other gems. It takes my people (4) maxed out in religion without clothing aid, 40 minutes of praying for 12 fragments. Paintings take from 40 minutes to 3 1/2 hours to complete for me. I get between 40-60 fragments collected from praying and I finish it off with collected paintings to get the 100 needed to make the gem. This keeps my inventory space down. I have the rest of the stonies regulated so that I have a steady supply of the things needed to make paintings. I had enough crystal gems collected that I added an extra 50 spaces to my inventory which helped a lot. My stonies are maxed out in 3 things, gathering of the stones & wood, manufacturing, and religion. Every 5 days you get 3 gems to aid you. If you play hard you can make 5-10 gems a day on praying and paintings, but it is a casual game so a lot of people don't get that many gems.

that what i was saying about too! shards and crystals is not a problem, BUT totems give me branches, stones, grass in 99,999% of chance (another words - junk)... P.S. crystal shards can apply more, than your storage spase (i.e. you can exchange paintings on 1500 shards in one time, even your max storage capasity is 400-500) P.P.S. "ART" section (45 pictures) WILL have replicas and you'll spend far more, than 5000 of the emeralds cause of it... WHERE i can get them? pray for holy random of totems again? that didn't give me a s....? (single of it)
