Let's be real: A lot of the Towers are not really usable much. To show what they do...
-
Midarian Ability: 20% Gold Boost for 4 Hours
**Midarian Recharge: 24 Hours -
Jewelem Ability: Obtain 1 Gem
**Jewelem Recharge: 24 Hours -
Ramsey Ability: Skip 8 Hours of Food Production
**Ramsey Recharge: 96 Hours = 4 Days -
Winstance Ability: 20% Health & Attack Boost for 1 Hour
**Winstance Recharge: 24 Hours -
Damona Ability: Skip 6 Hours of Breeding
** Damona Recharge: 144 Hours = 6 Days -
Hanzo Ability: Skip 8 Hours of Training
** Hanzo Recharge: 48 Hours = 2 Days -
Speedy & Greedy Ability: Collect all Food and Gold
** Speedy & Greedy Recharge: 4 Hours -
Broodby Ability: Skip 6 Hours of Hatching
** Broodby Recharge: 144 Hours = 6 Days -
Phaun Ability: "More Chances of a Rare Breed" for 2 Hours
** Phaun Recharge: 96 Hours = 4 Days
Out of all the Towers, it feels like Jewelem is the only one that's usable. Maybe Winstance, Midarian, and Speedy & Greedy as well.
The others, Broodby and Damona specifically, have bad wait times for their abilities & they don't offer much in terms of usage.
My idea: Have a Tower Upgrade feature that improves on the abilities of the Dragons and the wait times for the abilities.
There would be 5 levels to a Tower. Level 1 Towers would be exactly the same as stated above. Level 5 Towers would be at their maximum power and minimum wait time.
Tier 1 Towers: These Towers require Food to upgrade.
