donation levels

So,
in another thread someone mentioned that many people think that 1k wood per town level was sufficient. I think it should be much higher than that, but not until a player has gotten a little higher town levels.
Why? because in the first while you are focused on expanding as quickly as possible and it doesn't take long. Later on though you get more lumber than you need as you try especially to upgrde your palace and GR's and so have much more to donate.
So everyone in our world can maybe get a better idea of what should be done... what does everyone else think?

10k by level 12?
20k by level 16?
40k by town level 18?
50k by level 20?

What's reasonable?

i would say:

15k by lvl 10
30k by lvl 15
60k by lvl 18
100k by lvl 20

is fair, however your levels could be considered bare minimum

1k per town level for all towns under 10
2k per town level for towns between 11-17
3k per town level for 18+

I agree with the need for a time to get established, and that the amount of resources donated should go up compared to the level of your town hall, but I would add one additional factor for consideration:; useage.

Since the posts in the other thread about leaches, I have come across a player (town level 18) with no donations to the lumber yard on this island (not his starting island). This player HAS donated over 200k wood to the vinyard. I can find no argument with this case. This player uses the vinyard, but has, to the best of my knowledge, never used the lumber yard on this or any of his colony islands.

I can not fault a player for not building a resource they are not tapping; especially when they ARE active in building a resource that they USE.

This is tru to a lesser extent in my own game play. While I do donate to both wood and luxury resource deposits, I donate a considerably larger amount to the resources that I use, and much less to those that I seldom, or never use due to the simple fact that pillaging gets me far more of these resources than I could produce in a much more timely fashion.

I only wish it were possible to directly donate wood towards the upgrade of resources on other islands so that my military customers could be a little more productive. :poke:
