Multiple builders on a single upgrade

[sledneck22]

I think you should be able to stack multiple builders on a single building to decrease the upgrade time in half by the number of builders you have on it. In theory it wouldn't effect the total time needed to upgrade everything, it just give users the ability to upgrade what they want faster.
Kind of like the old age of empires builders/villagers.

Thank you for not belligerently arguing your case

I agree, kudos new member!

And for your good behavior, I will reward you with an explanation!

You are correct in that it does not make upgrading faster, but what it does do is really minimize the amount of time any particular building is experiencing "down time", up to a factor of 5 times faster if you have 5 builders.

How does this impact the game? Well SC wants you to have all 5 builders busy on 5 different jobs. This creates a nerve-wracking experience for those who lack patience. What does lack of patience lead to in this game???

You guessed it, GEMMING!!!

If SC were to implement this feature of stacking builders, then people would not have such a problem with patience. Not only that, you'd only have one tesla down at a time, or one mortar down, your base would still be in great shape to defend the resources you saved up so diligently.

However, if you have all 5 builders working on a tesla, wiz tower, archer tower, mortar, and an xbow, then now you are SEVERELY at a disadvantage to defend against a formidable attacker. See how this changes things? SC knows this and hopes that you'll spend gems to finish building one or two of those buildings so that you can better protect your resources. Basically, it is SC's job to make you REALLY REALLY itch to spend your gems so that you'll buy more, ultimately netting them more profits, as any successful business would want to do.

Hope this clarifies why it is ruled out to stack multiple builders onto one job, have a good day buddy.

I like your explanation. They should link explanations like this to ruled out ideas.

Excellent clarification.
I kind of figured that'd be the verdict but was hoping the jury was still out.

Also, bumping old threads (which is what you just did) isn't allowed. Be careful next time
