What does everyone think about this?
Governor uses his power to reset city loyalty every 30 minutes to prevent HC in his alliance from being captured? No reinforcements are sent. Just save the city every 30 minutes.
Seems just a tad abusive to me

Are abilities still working???
If so how do you access them??
Just wait till he is not governor any more. He can only hold the position for a week unless he gets reelected. Ask in wc for people to vote for someone else. Also, ask your whole alliance to vote for one specific person.
I am actually the Governor in my server, but dont seen to find this "abilities" anywhere to be used.
Here's the original post about governor abilities and how to use them:

Aye, wasn't that fun?
And don't hate on gov abilities because if you were ever one, you'd do the same stuff, lol. Furthermore, I would never want to be gov since they can't see what they write in AC.
And NO...it's not abusing the power, it's saving an alliance member who isn't online. Funny how your previous alliance seem to coincidentally "jump online" when anything was going on or said in our AC.....isn't that more abusive?
At least they changed the spelling to make it correct. Governor instead of Govener or whatever they were using initially. LOL.
--don
Thats what I said when I saw the governer abilities when first announced.
Resetting loy is wayyy too powerful while rest of abilities completely useless. Loy buff really need be nerfed alot - e.g. regain 5 loy, use max once per 2 hours.
Every time a friendly gets into gov, I just dont bother checking defences before going to sleep/work altogether for that week.
Or just remove that ability altogether and replace with something decorational, like give another player the ability to speak in world chat in... green for example.
no its not,,anyone in any alliance can become governer,,if you had someone in your alliance who was governer who was able to do that i bet you wouldnt be complaining about it.....
Never been governor so not sure how many times they can kick people off w/c but when alliances get on w/c talking unnecessary garbage people are blocked from speaking up when they try. I have an idea.....hook Facebook up to age1 and loose all the garbage the governor, strats, hcs, hhs, hero gear. The king and queen is nice though.
Yeah, gov powers really are over rated. And Qingju, all the players who could attack you are in your alliance, why would u even need the powers to be used on you?
Well,If your close,and coordinated enough you dont need 30 minutes to take a city.I dont know about age 2 but we took a city on ss1 off a player in 6min and 41 seconds=).
I think they should at least remove that option because what if somebody from the same Alliance on an old server was governor it would just be impossible to grab the HC's.
Governor is pretty much a downer so should be scrapped. The Governor will just use their powers to further their own alliance while restricting the members of enemy alliances. I've spent $35 on Evony, very low compared to some other players but my use of the game includes use of the market. If my use of the market gets restricted then I can't make use of that feature which is advertised in-game. In the U.K. that would be a matter for the Trading Standards Authority to investigate.
In any event, alliance members and sister/brother alliances will vote for their own host and biggest alliance wins. Strategy is thrown to the wind. Scrap it!
add a cool down period once every 30min for 30min doesn't work when alliances share accounts
Yet another abusive way to keep cities. Speech texts from FB and Governor loyalty abilities should both be gone.
Governors should be able to grant Jr Battalions!
Being a governer is a novelty. It is not tool that can give any players an advantage. Thus governer powers are also a novelty. Like giving out small amounts of gold or banning someone from WC chat for 30 minutes. These type of novel powers do not impact the game. So, Orange text and ability to give some gold is enough. The second we add MORE powers to governers that can actually help the outcome of a battle is the second I fly to Evony headquarters with a size 20 steel tip boot...
if you are taking a HC (or any other city na20+) and have the loy down low and think you are guna cap it as the player is offline, think again as the server gov can reset the loy of that city preventing you from capping it.
get those steel toe-caps on and :attack:
Its true, its been that way since pretty much the beginning or Governor. I think Governor can raise the loyalty of one city once per hour. The way around this is attack 2 or more enemy cities at the same same if they contorl governor. Its annoying to fight an alliance with Govenor but very doable.
This and one power that I see abused by the governor. The Govenror can disallow you use of the market. There is no cool down so they can cast it on you over and over. Its really annoying not be able to use ur market for hours at a time.
well on na18, its once every 30 min, makes it a pain when a dummy account has governer and shared by an alliance ......
I hate the power - should have a 2 hour cooldown for a particular city
Actually Its not one City, On Na25 its your entire account. So basically if 3 people are attacking me @ the same time in 3 cities 400 miles away. Just needs to go /Honor Aelphaeis (or something like that) and all cities back to 100 loyalty.
Actually, you're both kind of wrong. JP, through the powers of Google, I bestow upon you all (governor related) knowledge:
http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=145430
The governor can stop the player from earning gold, not the market.
Loyalty of all a player's cities are raised to 100.
100k gold to 1 player every 30minutes.
Silence for 30 minutes.
I thought Jr Battalions would be fun because they're absolutely not game changing, but a novelty as you said. :)
The Gov can restrict the use of the market, just cause you google something doenst mean its true.
I have had my market use stopped by the enemy and my alliance has stopped our enemies from using the market.
Edit: Its called "Restrain Trade" and here is what you market looks like when the Gov use it on you

Here is the report I get in Others, and there is no cooldown on this. Also note that I am not the governor but its says NPCking is the Governor, just another wrong descriptions by evony, kinda like how they explained it wrong the link you showed.

Never knew it until I read this thread.
A governer should not have the ability to raise loyalty on a city. That is just another tool for helping HC owners remain invincible. HC's need to be hard to take and even harder to keep. Problem is, they are rather easy to capture from the computer and even easier to defend. This causes them not to change hands between rivals. And the govener ability to raise loyalty only makes this problem worse.
Probably because some of us were too disgusted with the crappy idea of the popularity contest in the first place to notice how completely and utterly bogus these powers are.
As I posted on FB pertaining to how 'cool' this piece of dren feature is, you've created a button that gets in the way of navigation in a not quite predictable fashion, done so in a way that INCREASES the amount of memory leakage inherent in using flash as a development platform, AND, honestly, annoyed the bejeesus out of most users.
If you did an INGAME poll, where one of the choices was not to vote for someone but to discontinue this farce of a 'feature' you'd be forced to shut it down. I hear more complaints from alliance mates Ive had in 10 alliances about how crappy this damn thing is!
So in summary
1) Badly coded
2) Badly desgined
3) Stupidly powerful
4) Only useful to those with a Alliance1,2,3,4,5, coodinated membership.
Bleh--- And THIS is the only enhancement to Age II since I've been playing that is free. Evony obviously knows how crappy this is or they'd charge cents for votes. But build queueing, with the Hammer, (feature announced AFTER implementation another 'oops'), and any other improvement is chargable.
Is it any wonder this feature is free? Its CRAP.
