Thanks, the image problem is now fixed. Seems like it is not possible to include filenames with ō and ū in zip-files, so winrar just excluded two images without telling me.

Also wow does the construction speed penalty come early. I just hope it doesn't get even bigger.

I just noticed that 1 round=2 cards >.<. Couldn't it just say 2x rounds in the first place and still consider 1 round=1 card? *

In the new version, 1 card = 1 round for the first 100 cards a day. Afterwards it's 2 cards = 1 round.

The problem is that I might not (actually it happened already) be able to add new constructions as fast as people, who do many cards/day (like you two wink ), advance in ankiemperor.
Currently there are around 100 constructions and with 1-2 constructions a day it would take 50-100 days to complete, which is a good pace in my opinion. Therefore I slowed down the progress after 100 cards in order to keep the top-performers busy and not run out of constructions too soon.

Now that you know how it works, I hope you can plan your buildings a little bit better wink
If you have any further suggestions how to handle this siutation better, I am all ears smile

Ah, so that's why smile. Sounds good! I was just a bit confused about it.

(maybe add a sound effect to a pop-up box that lets you know about the penalty? After all the random gold rewards I kind of don't notice random pop-ups anymore)

Can you use this on a Mac with OS X.  I am guessing the answer is no, but I wish....

I am not able to test it on a mac, but if Anki is working, this plugin should also work smile

I have Anki on my MacBook and it works fine, but I got an error message when I tried to download AnkiEmperor.  It starts "An error occured in a plugin....

*I always set the last building according to how many reviews I have left, it's how I noticed. Now I'm learning extra because I can't stand seeing an unfinished building smile.

I'm the same, but I only strive to finish on round numbers. I think I increased my new card amount three times while doing core and noticing that the remaining reviews subtracted from my current progress don't result in a 10, and only then noticed that it keeps slipping and that two cards equal one.

Anyhow, x2 is not much, and it enforces consistency (better do 100 every day than 200 extra on a single day), so no cause for complaint there. I recall Blizzard did something similar with WoW many years ago though: when they implemented the rested xp (a daily experience bonus), they first had it work as normal experience, with everything after its depletion being twice less rewarding, which made people feel they were being punished. Consequently, Blizz just doubled the experience per level, as well as all gains, and said that rested xp grants a bonus to xp gains, and suddenly, everyone thought of rest xp as a reward and of the previously half xp as normal.

Would you consider doing the same, as in, double building time, make the first 100 cards grant double turns, with the currently "penalized" cards granting a single turn? This'll make initial cards feel like a daily bonus, and also make keeping track of turns left easier.

Can you give me the whole error message? Then I can have a look.

@Fadeway: That is a good idea. I will consider it for the next version smile

I found a glitch (or I'm presuming it's a glitch). I got the pop-up for doing 50 reviews and got 25 extra gold. However, since I hit the wrong button and hit un-do, it subtracted the five gold it had been given but not the 25. So when I answered it again, I got another 25 gold. This could be very profitable...but yeah, I figured I'd let you know.

Migueliitus - I think he plays this game in his sleep yikes

Awesome new plugin! So much better than ankiWarrior!!!!!

*Gold*
Wrong = 12 gold (though sometimes 2)
Good = 5 gold
Why do you sometimes get more gold for getting something wrong? Can you give some explanation on how much gold you get?

*Cities*
It would be good if it showed which city your current construction is located in.

Thanks for the info smile . Will change it for the next version.

Glad you like it smile . You get 12 gold for answering a card for the first time (i.e. for a new card), whichever button you click. Likewise you get 2 gold if it is not a new card. (Because you've spent time thinking about the card, you get at least some gold, even if you failed the card)

Additionally, you get a certain amount of gold depending on the button you've clicked and how often you have correctly answered the card successive before. That is 0 additional gold for soon, but some amount x for any other button.

It would be good if it showed which city your current construction is located in.

I agree. However, as this is such a minor inconvenience imo, it is postponed for now..

Thanks, the money makes much more sense now smile.

Another good feature would be that usernames were highlighted or in bold in the high scores so you can find your username easily. It sometimes takes me quite a while to find my name. I think they were like that in ankiWarrior.

Hi,

thanks to whoever added quite a lot new constructions on the website! I really appreciate it. I'll be off for holidays for two weeks and incoporate the new constructions when I come back! (And maybe some of the requested changes smile )

Are you thinking of upgrading this plugin to match Anki 2.0 at some point in time? smile

Yeah, actually I've already started to port Ankiemperor to Anki 2.0, but there are quite a few changes and I am not finished yet...

Bonus build counters are used up even when not building. This has an effect when lacking money for the next building - say, I start the session with 500 gold, but need 2000. After answering, say, 50 cards, I can now order my building - but I've used up 50 of today's full-worth turns, and in 50 more cards I'll run into the decreased building speed penalty.

Not sure if you count this as a feature or a bug smile

After some pause, a constructions update, thanks to the awesome community (all constructions have been added using the above mentioned website):
- 1.2.0:
# 7 new cities: Hiroshima, Nagoya, Sapporo, Kobe, Kawasaki, Saitama, Uwajima
# 47 new constructions (big thanks for the contribution!)

I also had a submission for around 4 more castles, but they were the only constructions in their city. So I'll wait for some more constructions until I add these cities. Anyhow, thanks for the contribution!

Yeah, same. I downloaded the update from the shared plugins, but it doesn't actually update.

It works now. You just have to download it again.

Edit:  i've also gone from emperor to prince - I still love it though.

Hi,
thanks for the feedback. Glad it works now.
The (noun) rank is based on how much percent of constructions you have completed. As there are new constructions, the rank decreases smile
Emperor rank is only given for 100% of all constructions complete.
