Actually you can only draft 5% from any city, whether it's an NPC or player -owned.

The top post was last update Today at 09:46 AM. Like just over an hour ago. When players ask for notice to be given of changes - this is what we get.
I consider myself a medium range player in terms of spending. I do not spend thousands of dollars but if I need something, I have no problem spending some money to get it. After all, this is my hobby. My top three problems are:
1.) Evony is changing the game (mid-game) after money has been spent effectively making the product less valuable.
Result: Players will stop purchasing the product and find another that will satisfy their needs.
2.) Evony is trying to level the playing fields by allowing fewer troops to be drafted from LVL 10 NPC?s and below, as well eliminating 14s and 16s from drafting lower level HC?s.
Result: This will only make the large players who have put the time and money necessary to take Historical Cities (HC) focus their attention on something else to attack. Which means all the small players and ?noobs? are now more sought after since the value in HC?s has dropped. Eliminating or downsizing HC drafts is counterproductive if you wish to level the playing fields.
3.) No notice is given to players about these changes.
Result: Players feel that they are cheated. Example: I purchase a phone plan that gives me 400 minutes a month long distance. Without notice, those minutes are cut in half. What do you think I am going to do? I am sure the answer is apparent and I hope you can apply it to this situation.
These are some very basic issues that I have noticed and talked about within my alliance. We are a little upset about these issues and hope that you address them instead of trying to misdirect our attention with a silly popularity poll that allows the winner next to nothing. Do the right thing, Evony, and make customer service your top priority. If you want to make changes to the game, DO NOT change it in the middle. Apply these changes to NEW servers, not servers where players have vested money.
Hoping you make the right decision,

before getting worked out on draft changes you might want to log in game and check for yourself.
Draft was reduced to 5%.
But food levy and tax imposition were increased...
Ok first off this change is complete bull. A lvl 12 HC used to be able to draft 160k warriors per day, supposing you draft from 4 different lvl 10npcs. Now u get 80k per day. Honestly what good are HCs without the draft feature? Any player taking a 12 does it for 2 reasons, larger atk waves and troop drafting. So now evony and their infinite wisdom has made them less useful and expects us just to deal with it. They cant fix a chat screen bug but they can screw over the people who put money into the game in order to take HCs. Good job evony and your infinite stupidity. Cant spell "governor" correctly in your game but u can make it less appealing to the people who work hard to get the "bonus features" that were built into HCs... i got a new idea how about u just start off every new account and give them 5k cents to play with? that should level the playing field right? thats the whole goal of reducing troops drafts.
Not exactly happy myself reducing the "draft-ability" to just a mere 5%.
The fact of having to invest over 60 Michaelangelo Scripts into an HC just to make it effectively COMPARABLE to a lvl 10 NPC is absolutely ridiculous as well. Now reducing the "bonus feature" to gain troops in order to help defend it is just adding insult to the already increasing "injury" Evony players are feeling. Alot of money is being invested into Evony EVERYDAY from these players and alienating us in the process will only push us to another game/platform somewhere else.
My solution, keep the higher level HC's from drafting from other HC's but keep the 10% drafting option the same for the rest of the NPC's/players. The 125k attack wave from an HC is a nice BONUS as well...please don't mess with that.
There has to be a happy medium here.
The PvE aspect of this game has been butcher with this change from 10% draft, to 5% draft, there really is no point in capping a HC anymore....
The PvP on earlier server is non-existent.... colonizing ppl is maybe the dumbest thing you can do if you intend on growing in the game, the only ppl worth colonizing are in-actives....
So I have this huge army that i'v been growing for months, and nothing to do with it, I canceled my auto-cents account the last time the development team messed with the HC drafting, and was thinking about starting it back up, and i'm so glad I didn't, I'll be going back to the last war browser game I was playing before age2 came out, I have lost all confidence in the development team which I have given 2-3 months to fix the problems with the game, which is the PvP, not the PvE aspect of the game.
It really is unreal how out of touch the development team is with it's audience that really blows my mind... anyways I'm going back to my old war browser game I'm sorry I ever gave age2 a chance, and I will discourage age2 from any of my friends that ever mention it, I'll just tell them what my experience with the game was like, and I think it's fair to say a large portion of evony's target audience will interact with me and others like me on forums, and other browser games, and age2 will not be put in very good light....
It's funny that a company that can see how good a marketing tool facebook can be also doesn't understand that word of mouth among it's target audience can ruin it's reputation.
Don't know what else they did in the update but we now have troops "disappearing" again.
I sent 2 x 150k waves, and 3 x 125k waves of archers from my lvl 14 and lvl 12s to assist an alliance member with an uprising.
The heroes are all back in their relevant cities but ALL of the archers have vanished. They were not in the war report and the alliance members city was not in range of a player-owned 12, 14 or 16 so couldn't have been drafted or disarmed.
Can today get any worse?
(Please don't tell me to submit a ticket as I have absolutely no faith or trust in Evony so don't wish to waste my time waiting for nothing to be done)
I have over 2billion food and 400mil gold in each of my cities. You think I care about a few mil of each that I might be able to levy from a city that stays in range of my HCs? ROFL.. yeah right...
+ Rep Deagen, straight to the point.
