Just making a list:
you already know about the high cost of repair, but also 100 xp for +1 motivation seems crazy to me, perhaps implement am increasing cost, but for that first motivation, that cost is extremely high |

Most costs in the game tend to err on the side of "too hard" on purpose. Once players start messing with stuff, it's a lot better to make things easier for them than to have to nerf something or make it harder.
I don't have quite enough data yet on motivation versus value/cost yet (though high motivation is tremendously helpful, especially when trying to defeat a guardian golem). It will likely be tweaked further, just not yet.
Also, gave some of you Athens folks extra premium time to test those features further. I probably missed a few accounts, so just send a message if I did. :)

| we also need to adjust the bounty system, currently the lv 1 rats n ice have much more gold and items then a semi intelligent lv 2 goblin who does much more damage |

I'd forgotten about the goblin (there's also a level 2 or 3 spider in Yul's Marsh). They're both relics of testing, but were left in.
I'm pondering adding in a selection of level 2 critters to all locations, but I'm still testing golem levels (IE, each more advanced golem needs to have a noticeable improvement over the previous).
Probably can't hurt to add them in, honestly. At this point, if golem statistics change (and they likely will), I'll have to update everyone's existing golems to the new statistics at the same time... so it's not like it's a huge problem to work around.
Let me write up some plans for 2nd level critters and appropriately increased treasure. These will probably not go in until next weekend however.

new suggestion:
Salvage golem
it really isnt worth fixing a damaged golem that is losing parts, and i am not sure how to get rid of the golem without selling it. But to sell it, it has to be at full hp. i think it would be worth it to save 20 resource per hitpoint remaining on all parts, aka a 40% buy back price |

Salvaging/discarding a golem is actually on the to-do list. Honestly, I'm not sure why I didn't implement it already -- I think I was debating on making it a premium feature.
I'll write something tonight or tomorrow and do some testing to see what I can come up with.
