I use a L1 Monument (100GemValue) a T9 Building (500GemValue) and (2) T8 Buildings (400GemValue) to Evolve my L1(T7) Monument to a L2(T10) Monument. That amounts to “Exactly” 1000GemValue for MY NEW Monument.
The Question is! If I use (2) T9Biuldings (1000GemValue) to Evolve that L1(T7) Monument (100GemValue) to the L2(T10), What happens to the 100Gems I “Mathmatically” wasted on that Monument Evolution?
Your math skills never cease to amaze me. If ppl like you didn’t bring up these issues, I’d never even notice the difference!
Our teams made sure the renewed honeymoon period makes up for any extra amounts of Gems/Building Bucks used to build/evolve a monument.
Wait. So are you saying the honeymoon period for buildings is longer or more rewarding if you overspend for monuments? (compared to the normal honeymoon period for spending the exact amount needed)
Cathylee, I completely agree! I wonder how many gems I am mathematically wasting every single day! 
Bravo to all of you Math Whizzes for sharing what works for you on our forum! Believe me when I tell you all how much it helps!
