New item! - Stygandr's Banner of the Horde!

[Braile]

No I think your missing the point. The game is broken into 2 clear groups - those that have taken advantage and hoarded the ressies and troops able to replace massive losses as a result of massive ingame alts and botting. The others are those that dont run massive numbers of alts and bots. They are the only 2 type of players. To say that those that dont run bots and massive alts will not have anything to lose is a myth as those people are the ones that spend more than the alt hoarding bot making players.... the point of this item is to knock down the archer shields GREAT!! But we have to have the massive number of mechs to be able to do so...... and sadly even then we have to have the resources available to us to rebuild the 2m - 5m mech losses that will be incurred. The alt playing, troop hoarding ressie gatherer will simply rebuild the losses incurred in a week while they sleep thanks to a never sleeping script and endless resources while the legitimate player struggles through for another month.

Now explain to me HOW this item can possibly be used to effect when you compete against the above scenario.

If evony were serious about improving the game there are some clear issues that need to be addressed to ensure level playing field is back in the game and that those that play to massive alts to gain advantage in supply, hero ghosting, unlimited resources and unlimited troops. Also good luck swinging away they auto truce or share access so someone will be on fast enough to truce to benefit from the carnage that is wreaked.

I am a realist about this - love the item but its futile and a game changer as long as only those with the massive troops are able to benefit in more ways than one.

ps I did not realise that the item operates through gates (so you dont need to apply broken gates?) that is awesome.

I think we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that this is a temporary event and is limited to 5 items per day + those acquired through the chests. 4 days. 20 items.

This is a good move by evony. It gets people attacking and those big enough to feel the heat. Good bye archer and scout shields. For the game to liven up it needs precisely the kick in the *** described earlier.

Of course, this won't stop people running. It won't stop people holidaying for the whole 4 days until this item expires.

These items won't be used sparingly obviously so people shouldn't worry about farm towns or their own mini war cities if a small player.

Happy Hunting all, lets paste some great things in the Battle Reports section!

It works like a war ensign, but when you initially log-in, you may not be able to use it, try deleting your cache/cookies on your browser then refresh your evony tab/browser. It should show up beside war ensign in your 'march' tab in-game.

On the upside some reports to go WOW!

http://ww.evonyurl.com/7gndd2 (11m archer kill!)

On the downside:
1. Says will ignore walls and go highest value pool - it doesnt - in CD Archer Towers up will kill all 1.56m pults! http://ww.evonyurl.com/9a8sjc
2. No value in sending anymore than 125k trans - the max it returns with is 156k trans worth (1m trans sent to get some of the 120b food in there and look what it came back with http://evonyurl.com/j6p1h4)
3. Cant send 1.56m trans when trying to send with castle,ensign and horde banner it returns a negative in food consumption and unable to send.

I love this new item it brings a change to the way we will need to play this game. I think this is needed to further Evony's life span.
It also bring an advantage to the smaller players who attack gigantic players that have massive amounts of troops.
I'd love to see this item implemented into Evony full time.

Again i stress the hero leadership, AgeI being there's no cap on it this is a great item for AgeI. For AgeII the highest leadership we have is HH's and that's just under 300 and you can only scout with them. Our average heros are only 100 leadership at most so the waves are not effective in a "WOW" factor to us. Maybe we can work it so there's a way to make it a "WOW" for AgeII as well

Love the reports though... nice kills 11m archers is epic!
