any entertaining effects?

Out of curiousity, if I make a half-dozen units in one city and then go to another, does the cost remain the same? Separate question; what if I destroy the barracks and build a new one, does the ramped cost begin again or does it continue from the previous barracks?
Thanks.

I don't think buildings get higher costs, just military units.

he raised a good question, though begining again would take out the point i think

and hes talking about units not buildings

So is it building ramping,? Or unit ramping? BHG states that they really want the player to have a unique playing experience.

So? If the majority of the people will turn it off, then why keep it in? Maybe an x-pack option?

Alright, whatever- have your tank/cavalry rushes just like every other RTS game out there.

I'm glad you can see it from my point of view.

Uhh.....No comment.

Just to put my $.02 in; I think the ramping costs idea is a great one. It should level the game play a bit and make it so that players that suffer their first loss of any kind wont suddenly drop out if the game, like they do a lot of times in Play the World(as the game applies to the MP aspect of course). Boy that really irks me all to heck!
