> [@Update 9.2 Patch Notes](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/update-9-2-patch-notes/89673/1): > > Book of Colored Deeds = 16 Colored Crystals for every 1 Book of Colored Deeds of the same color (or part thereof). > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/f/0/f057de3d023aa3f34783c55945a99c8637044757.png) I really hope the developers can compensate players who had kingdom levels higher than 16 with more XP. I’ll explain why it’s unfair. For example, upgrading from level 19 to level 20 only gives 2k more XP after 9.2, but the cost is 10 books, which are worth 16k XP. **That’s 8 times more XP! EIGHT!** All the factors you mentioned that were supposed to make this conversion look balanced actually turned out to be neglectable after experiencing 9.2. This is especially unfair for players who spent their resources right before 9.2. I know most players are not in this situation, but the number of players suffering this loss is still significant. It is also unfair for players who followed different long-term strategies. You announced this major change only one week before the patch, which gave players almost no time to respond or adjust their plans. The only problem is that the missing XP amount in the conversion is simply too much, which is why I’m asking for compensation. Thank you. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/i-ve-been-punished-for-my-playstyle/89715)._
