A Message For Our Devs.
My guess is you guys have management issues. I say this because thing are taken to such extrem without what you would hope to be rational thought. This is usually cause by people working for someone they disagree with. For example the medals went from always showing up to never showing up. I too am a programer and understand how the systems work with each other and there functionallity. Then you decide you modify the re-spawn rate of barb. cities from re-spawning almost instantly to rarely. Then you decide to modify the population return rate and that met with alot of unsuccess.
You guy really look like noobs out there and need to get organized. This is an awesome game that I think you all did a great job building. The pressure of the demans seem to be tearing you all apart. Just chill and don't try to react to quickly and remember logic can be flawed.
When observing the expoilts people find remember there are Heros and Villians in all video games. There is allway a balance found in the end, so don't be afraid to let the game take it's course. Some noobs my quite cuz they lose... it happens. Others will push on and find away. That is what make this type of game fun.
Relax and get a good solid plan together and please use system mail more often to let us know wtf you are doing.
Thank You.
btw i was typing this before Pritrix posted their comment. It looks like we agree to needing better management.

The NPC regen rates now match those of PC's cities. This is a fix.
IF you are indeed a programmer, then you understand the logic of this fix as it takes care of two isses: exploitation and balance.
-
Yes i do and I agree with the need for a fix. It's the extrems that they take that I disagree with. Need better testing I suppose.
-
how is equalizing the regen rate "extreme?"
-
I see that topic is bothering you. Forgive me the re-genrate was not extrem.
-
It's not bothering me. I just asked how the equalizing of regen rates was "extreme."

It takes a really long time to come back from what used to seem like it was instant. I was helping my wife get an account going and when she attacked a lv1 valley I told her to keeping attacking it until she gets a medal. She'll lose men but that's apart of the challage. The lack of re-spawn rate made her wait over an hour before there where any men back in it just to not get a medal. If they are going to adjust something why not make it the amount of food the barb cities give? It's already hard to get medals and that made it even harder. This makes it look like they are in too much of a hurry to really think these things through. It make the challege being patient instead of having fun attacking vallies. Now there's nothing for her to do but log on and off like as if she was lv 10.
or at least let the fight come back and the food later... This is brain storming that i'm doing and it seems as though they either lack the brain storm or the time. I assume they have both, and need to get organized.

Attackin one valley repeatedly is not a good strategy. I use 4 lvl 4 valleys and 500 warriors. The timing for going around 4 valleys allows for each to regen. My medal drop rate is 50% and all but one were rose medals.
However, this has nothing to do with NPC regen rates in NPC cities which was the original complaint, yes?
-
you do things the hard way for medals kemp, instead of attacking 4 seperate barb cities with your warriors, attack 1 with a large force, then set the others to attack in waves smaller, with about 10-15 seconds in between. I was hitting a lvl 7 barb city with ballistas first, then sent in 5 waves straight after first wave was like 20k to take out the traps, the other 4 were all like 5-10k there were no resources left, but it was still a conquer and still a chance of a medal drop and much less losses. In one wave of attacks i claimed 2 courage and 3 honour medalsbetween

NPC cities is the peoples complate. The ability to attack and having available vallies to attack is not always easy to come by with a popular game. She had two vallies next to her below lv5 and 8 that were not occupied. I have three npc cities that I farm for medals and have the same issues. One round of attacks and then nothing to do. Sounds like you have a good position in the game. I'm however am sharing my spot with about twenty other very active players.
Anyways, this whole thing is off topic My main point is not the regen rate. It's the extrems they have been taking, and the lack of use of the in game system mail. You obviously disagree with the fix being extrem. I agree that the regen rate definitly has alot of good things about it. However it's not that great for noobs that keep getting lion medals from lv 1 and 2 vallies.
The server that I play on seems to have been updated last night so these things my no longer be an issue. I hope the devs continued to do their best and again use the in game system mail more often to help us to know what they are up to, and to not let the pressures of the people screw up their judgement.
