Go to you city, click on the comfort, look at like disaster and you will see what it costs, look at the first 4 numbers of your prestige starting from the left and you will see it. Like I said earlier, I just looked and tried and it is that.

Would be nice if Evony at least posted about this and let everyone know how the new comforting will function.
My prestige isnt high enough to be concerned with this cost really...I actually did a few comfortings earlier, just to try it, and after my cost hit 10m, it capped and I can keep comforting at 10m, which to a larger player isnt too expensive. However, this will just entice players to drop prestige and keep botting/comforting. If this is truly based on prestige, we're gonna be seeing a lot of 100k prest Prinz's with 1k atk heroes.
are u sure your playing the same game as me? lol i see tonnes of power trippers getting around the servers.. get joy out of pounding u down, atleast before u had a chance to save ya city... now u got no chance... the ppl u label as 'skilled' will wipe them out to 1 city and make them quit, then all you 'skilled' ppl will be able to all power trip together :)
I play ss56....yesterday no one could login for more than 7hrs....we get on and get free food for 24 hrs....except that the free food dissapeared at regular maint....c'mon evony....at least make an attempt at fairness....the players of ss56 deserve compensation for this farce....add to that the change in comforting..(pray/relief) and there are some very ticked off ppl on ss56...all totalled....we got about 14 hrs free upkeep....tks....:mad:
'Pretty cool how all the advocates for the "little" guys come out whenever there is a push for a change thatd negatively effect bots. And without reading whatever the actual change entails.'
the actualy change? comforting gets doubled in cost evertime you use it. (up to a cap aparently)
so far all the info we have is from players, nothing from evo so there is a fair bit of speculation that we kinda need answers to! yet another sneaked in change :(
i spend on some servers, not others. lil guy on some and somone who gets truced on when i land on other, so im looking at this from all sides!
'I'm sick and tired of the bot comforting. This means I can cap cities again.' <-you wanna keep that city for yourself or for somone else and raise loyalty your going to get stung too.
better hope you spend for a speech text or while your waiting on reinforcements from other cities an hour out you comforting is going to get hit too!
this effects non-botters way worse that the botters imo
The increase has a cap on it....I posted earler about how I comforted a few times and my cost capped at 10 mil exactly, and is still capped. Not sure what sort of formula its using here, but there is a cap somewhere.
And also as previously stated, its prestige based. So low prestige players wont have to worry about costs as much. This I was unaware of when I first replied, and now I fully support this so long as the smaller players can still play regularly, and so long as its not unfair to the super large players who are charged an unrealistic amount of resources.
I'm not going to multi-quote so I will repeat myself.
Those who are against it forget there are alternatives. It's simple, this and the idea Melri proposed in another thread revolve around that central message.
If you attack a botted city, how long will it continue to comfort? The idea of a botted city/feeder is feed res? Botted to gain and protect it. Now if it costs 10mill food every time, or whatever the cost of it continuing to comfort will be to great. It will resort to truce/port/holiday eventually or other alternatives, wasted items and cents or if lucky and the bot does not have sufficient funds a botted city can be broken. You aren't making a profit with that in mind, well from that city in question.
I will repeat this in this thread like in the other, players are to quick to find the easy and quick fix. Thinking outside the box will get you through.
Hell, barb the city after you empty it of troops/heroes/res. Let it rot, comforting previously is a blessing far to easy to use with such little cost. An added privilege to those in the receiving side.
I'm sure we all follow the ToS here, so being offline doesn't really matter unless you got a helper comforting. Being online you can port, barb, truce, holiday, get a m8 to drop by and relieve stress, talk to the attacker, actually defend with troops*, etc.
*If you have an empty, defenseless city that you depend on comforting to save it then you don't deserve to have it.
The use of the word ''bot'' is not to promote or sell it's functions just to be clear, it is used as a reference.
This is my viewpoint. I'm not arrogant or egotistic to believe I'm always right, I could as well be wrong.
I'm so very tired so sorry if I repeated stuff or ranted nonsense. I'm gone for a smoke.
And to add, everyone addressed the comforting part of the thread. No one notices what else I wrote? Has anyone experienced mail and report issues?
Cheers. :)
It seems that this maybe a good idea on the surface but you might as well sign the death warrant. Smaller and honest players will now suffer just because some people think its unfair to keep a city.
My main worries are that honest players will just turn to botting. I really don't believe it will make a slight bit of difference to those already gone down the botting route. All they will do is reconfigure their goals so that res is hidden and moved to the city under attack. Nothing will change other than being honest and fair will be much harder, those same players will suffer, the botters will keep their cities and the people who have been asking for this change will still not gotten what they wanted.
That however doesn't apply to everyone. Some of the members in my alliance don't get what others do. And to me this is totally unfair.
