    Text Construction Research

    The Construction Research Item states that:
    "Every single upgrade increases constructing speed of buildings and fortified units by 10%"

    Whilst I would assume this means that:
    Lvl 1 Construction = 90% of base time.
    Lvl 4 Construction = 60% of base time.
    Lvl 8 Construction = 20% of base time.
    Lvl 10 Construction = 0% of base time.

    However, it appears to be a 10% reduction multiplied at each level. As such, the following provides that actual time bonus / reductions.

    Lvl 1 Construction = 90% of base time.
    Lvl 2 Construction = 81% of base time.
    Lvl 3 Construction = 73% of base time.
    Lvl 4 Construction = 66% of base time.
    Lvl 5 Construction = 59% of base time.
    Lvl 6 Construction = 53% of base time.
    Lvl 7 Construction = 48% of base time.
    Lvl 8 Construction = 43% of base time.
    Lvl 9 Construction = 39% of base time.
    Lvl 10 Construction = 35% of base time.

    Examples
    Lvl 4 upgrade of Ironmine:
    - Base time = 12min, 0sec = 720sec.
    - Lvl 5 Construction bonus = 59%
    - Reduced time = 720sec x 59% = 425sec or 7min 5sec

    Yeah, figures. They need to get somebody that speaks English as a FIRST language to go over this kind of thing in-game... have you noticed that Privateering apparently drops the enemies warehouse ability down TO 3% with every level? lol thats wrong on so many levels...

    Yep, you got that right, they need somone who speaks english to edit their grammer.

    You assumed it meant the first. Nothing wrong with the english of it. It's pretty clear that it wouldn't reduce it to zero.

    its not build time it reduces
    it increases construction speed
    so lvl 5 construction would give 1.5
    a lvl 10 construction give you a construction speed of 2 therefore cutting the time in half of the base

    Im sorry Orkeric but you are incorrect.

    It reduces the build time by 0.9^construction level.

    Thus, level 10 is 35% of the base build time.

    if you read the description it never says it decreases the build time directly
    it increases how fast you build things, which is the same thing except the numbers a little different

    They need someone who can program without causing bug after bug after bug.....they need some good servers so there is no significant lag and less crashes...then they can work on their grammar....

    Well typed Ogmondu. I agree totally. Sorting the server out should be the main priority. Saying that, How many things in life actually have the priority they deserve?
