Cheap Expansions no/lower Maps needed Higher habitants

[hellg3]

My expansions just became cheap and without meeding maps from friends, my bolder rocks dropped in price from 990,000 to 250,000 and so have all other trees. Antoine experiencing the same, or the opposite?

[Baraze]

What?! What level are you? Which island was this on?

I just cleared a big tree on the largest island to the far right for 800,000. To expand it still cost me 990,000 less than two hours ago. Boo!

[hellg3]

I am like a level 56, and it is on All islands - i immediately cleared the expensive ones on all, and started a new expansion.

Wow, I was surprised! No maps! Cost was same as I expected, 150K. I have a Fung stone which still costs 375K to remove. Same with Small Bitter Bark,30k; and Timberwood, 45K. So the change for me was the elimination of maps.

Huh??!!
What devices are you guys using that have these changes?

[Anasarra]

I am at Level 52. My cost to expand has risen predictably (120K, 125, 130, 135, 140) and now this one I just started, without maps, is 150K. It is on the lower island. The bits that I have scattered about that need to be cleared still cost the same as before.

I'm playing on an iPad 2

Also, I do not have Quests or Battle Arena

Hm, I just got this expansion too. It wasn't "really cheap", but I didn't need any maps for it.

[riisak]

The cost to expand is the same, but there is no longer a map requirement.

But you're right, I just cleared a tree that originally cost 900k just yesterday, but today it only cost 200k!!!
