Ah man. I really want that cap unlocked. Before the cap was added, I would ascend every time I had gifts that valued 100 times the cost of the next Throne Room upgrade. I now have a trillion times that.
I am getting almost 60 houses built per tick and this number is rising all the time. I think my maximum population increases about 3 or 4 times quicker than the population increases.
So everything except upgrades that require devoted disciples are maxed. PBD are generated at twice the speed of PED, but Doctors, Soldiers etc. all increase at the same speed as their counterparts. The only thing slowing it all down, like I said, is the training centre and the dev who seems far too into his baseball headwear :P
I mention all this in the interest of balancing. I'm not sure if the PBD : PED discrepancy was intentional, nor the population : housing. And I don't know if you have other players who are as far along as I am and who report on such things.
Anyway, nanu nanu.
