Created a maths corner here, to discuss the update specifics separately: 9.2 Maths Corner - Community Content - Gems of War | Forums
Just want to highlight this, and ask for anyone else good at this stuff to check my maths isn’t wonky, but I think this is right:
We can calculate what kingdom xp we get compared to what we’d get as a straight conversion:
Level 11: 100_____820Level 12: 200_____820Level 13: 200_____820Level 14: 900_____820Level 15: 1000_____820Level 16: 3800_____2000Level 17: 7000_____2000Level 18: 10800_____2000Level 19: 14000_____2000Level 20: 17800_____2000
As you can see, up to level 13, there is a net advantage to leveling up the kingdom BEFORE the update. Beyond level 13, there is a net disadvantage at every single level. If your kingdom is level 13 or above already, you should NOT upgrade it before the update to 9.2 or you will be worse off as a result.
Trying to get more exact values without rounding up, would give the following values:
Level 11: 66xp_____820Level 12: 133xp_____820Level 13: 200xp_____820Level 14: 416xp_____820Level 15: 1383xp_____820Level 16: 3650xp_____2000Level 17: 7000xp_____2000Level 18: 10350xp_____2000Level 19: 13850xp_____2000Level 20: 17500xp_____2000
So, assuming you had a stockpile of deeds, books and imperial deeds, so rounding off wasn’t a factor, the point at which upgrading is no longer advised would be raised to above level 14. Beyond that point, you are always worse off if you upgrade before 9.2
EDIT: Since upgrading a kingdom level can increase a kingdom’s power level, the exact value judgement will depend on your personal progress. Each additional power level gives extra xp after 9.2 but that’s already being accounted for elsewhere. I don’t know whether you want to factor that in personally, when making the choice to upgrade or not.
