Recent Midas changes!
I didnt really had a lot of EBF time recently, but now that i played a couple of games, i wanna express my appreciation for the recent Midas changes.

Now you really have to make decisions on if and when you want to buy it and at what phases of the game you can afford to pile up on Gold and a lot of healthy game decisions come with it!

This is THE change it needed!

My only concern currently is that it might be a little to powerful.
But this impression is currently based on my impossible map/normal difficulty experiences!
I was able to get noticably more gold then with the old iteration of midas up to NG+ where the added Gold became even more!

But it was normal difficulty and due to the way the new Midas work, i can only assume the usefullness and also the benefits are very narrowly tied to the difficulty and when and how much you can afford to pile up gold.
So midas is probably a lot harder to utilize in harder difficultys and may not even be possible to uses at the hardest.

Anyone experience here?

One last thing - a way to possible balance or nerf down Midas a bit would be to implement some sort of "soft caps" on the interest on the amount of money you currently hold.
Say you have the 15% Midas item, up to 20k Gold, you will get the full 15% interest, from 20 - 40 k Gold, you will only get 10% and from 60k onwards you will only get 5%.
(numbers are ofc. debatable)
This way, it would be a little bit harder to fully capitalize on this item while stile possibly beeing able to get quite a benefit out of it!

there's already a hard cap of 50*midas tier*round, which caps out at 4950 at the last round

Ok, thanks for the answer, good to now.

Midas Tier means 5%, 10% or 15%?
And it means there is (still) a maximum amount of Gold you can get per round given you have enough money banked?

Like is said, i only tested in normal mode so far, but it seemed to be a lot of money compared to what it used to be.
Does the Midas-Counter still counts Team money? Or just your own Midas money.
Half way through NG+, it was at arround 170 000.

there is no more team gold mechanic, only team-like gold mechanic that is still in is midas fury giving your entire team the highest tier midas effect; NG+ keeps counting for the rounds, round1 is round34 for ng+ etc

Yea, everyone needs to have a midas item if they want to get gold interest on their banked gold up until midas fury.
Considering NG+ - this means that i would get 50*midas tier*34 gold interest on the first round of NG+?
Meaning i get a lot more money in NG+ from Midas?
Or is it that i get 50*midas tier*1 for the first round of NG+?

like i said, round numbers carry over, so round 1 in ng+ is actually round 34 for the limit
