Hmm , it is a bug that once a mine building is complete , it does not start collecting resources before checking it . i will fix it soon .
my idea was , if someone attacks your base , he will take part of the resources you have , but not a part of the resources kept in the mines , so whenever you're away , if you get attacked you will still have resources when you come back , if it was automatic , once you're attacked you loose much more resources .
and it would be unfair that those who plays less keeps gathering resources , they have to check the game and it is also a reason to check the base , as most of the game will be in the observatory , market and communication center . and it would be a reason to check the game more often and find more players online to fight/play with
what do you think about that ?
