I've noticed some people criticize others about getting upset over this. You must be the coiners. When your parents ATM card breaks, I expect we'll hear you cry too huh?
As for this whole idea, it it completely and utterly stupid. Control of the gates IS tactic as everyone has said. We like being able to control what takes some months to acquire. If you, Evony, want to enforce such rhetorical promotions, how bout you come play the game, give us your server and name, and we can show you how the game works. Seems ya'll have a super horrible idea of how your game works. Awesome. No one likes this. Get rid of it.
Can I decide that for myself? Thank you.
With what? Everything got plundered, making your enemy this much stronger. And your heroes can revolt away.Quote:
and what is teh worst that can happen u get plunded - u troops get killed - and so .... build some new
Enlighten me. How can you defend a city with closed gates?Quote:
besides noone have said u should just sit there and get killed or plunded there is alot of other ways to defend then open gate - close gate
zhay
this is a 1 hour buff - and max 5 hour - u telling me u dont check in on u account regulary ? - or u dont have any other cities or team mates in u alliance who can see u need gold for heroes or food for army
just go back to basic - as we did years ago when ppl was attacked
and --- open gates and close gates are really not the only way to defend - if u dont know that by now then maybe u should start on a newer server and learn the basic
zhay
Well it's only applicable for an hour per city. If I remember rightly once a city's loyalty gets below 15 (yes I know this varies a bit) it takes 6 mins to drop the loyalty further. On average it's about 12 (if you keep the grievence at 100) even if you apply the strat at that point you have 72 minutes to go before you can cap the city.
Gates open regardless (normally) at 5. So by my reckoning the strat will expire before you manage to cap the city causing the gates to open, meaning what troops are left you'll need to kill. Just sayin'
Evony Y dont you simply introduce a $60 package ? In which you can take other's city without even fighting?
People spend so much of their time making troops leveling their hero by this a smaller player with less techs could cripple some1's hero, plunder resources, and wtf is plague?
Man seriously dont make this AGE 2..!
Most people sleep for more than 5 hours. I'm guessin you set the alarm clock every hour to check in on your account?
How would that help me if I'm off line.Quote:
- or u dont have any other cities
And how would they get food in in time if they're miles away? And what prevents these ressies from being plundered just as easily again?Quote:
or team mates in u alliance who can see u need gold for heroes or food for army
Right, vague statements about the past. Very convincing.Quote:

A bold statement coming from the n00b next door. But I'll give you a chance to proof yourself.Quote:

I doorstep you with 3 cities. I use the stratagem broken gates and close your gates and I immediately send 30 times 60k archers and 40k trannies at you with heroes of 300 attack and above.
How will you beat these waves with your closed gates oh wise Zhay.
so ur telling me somone with 1/10th my troops can make it so my gates stay close and can steal all of my resourcs refuge my troops
Theres a reason why i didnt sigh up for age 2
No, it's applicable a maximum of five times per day on a player, There's not a cooldown after 1 hour and a new stratagem can be applied just as easily. At least that's what I read from http://evonygame.com/?p=817. Unless you have more information...
And even if there was such a cooldown what will prevent them from dropping loyalty to 12 if gates remain closed anyway, easily done in in a very shor time, and then use the stratagem.
No, from what I've read on the feedback site from a tester I understood the gates will never open and upon the city cap the troops will just disasappear into thin air.Quote:
Gates open regardless (normally) at 5. So by my reckoning the strat will expire before you manage to cap the city causing the gates to open, meaning what troops are left you'll need to kill. Just sayin'
Unless you have different information... I will be much obliged.

Is this accurate gates open NO MATTER WHAT at 5 LOY??? even ifthe strat has been applied multiple times???? can someone clarify
Broken Gates can be used on a city for a maximum of 5 hours per day, not once every 5 hours. Also, it is random to acquire it and uncommon. Its not like every player in the game has 50 of them waiting for you to go to sleep. :)
Finally, this is a week long promotion, so while the effects may persist a bit, it doesn't represent a change in the way you play the game in the long term.
Broken Gates x3
Using this item on another player’s city will allow you to force their gates to remain open or closed (your choice) for 1 hour. Players may only be a victim of this 5 times per day. If your gates have been broken, you can use this to fix them!
Will I :modedit: buy cents to counter it happening. I would much much rather quit.
But I do think the Angle ones are good but this new idea is to much like age2. If I wanted to have these perks I would of played age2 not 1
well maybe u just need to reinvent the phone chain - or skype thing or something as was done in old days
and if i had to chose between u plundering me (if u could ) or moving i think i would move or figure out something else
and in old days we did send gold and food to ppl in allainces who needed - but u are not member of an alliance who watch out for each other ?
zhay
ps i do call u a noob as u really dont think beyond how u normally defend - that is why this are fun we need to rethink attack and defence
To be honest I think your're arguing the worst case scenario. It's a week long promotion and a rare item, I can't think there is going many occasions where two strats are going to be stacked for the end result your're describing.
So please think about it, the most likely players who would suffer this would be those with the gazillion troops, yup that guy who everyone wants to pwn.
And I'm not the one you need to go to for clarification, read Dawnseeker's post.
@Zhay
I would appreciate if you just answer my last question, but I'm just guessing you don't have the answer and you're just talking a load of *** about 'rethinking defence'. Cough.
Broken Gates x3 Using this item on another player’s city will allow you to force their gates to remain open or closed (your choice) for 1 hour. Players may only be a victim of this 5 times per day. If your gates have been broken, you can use this to fix them!
The package only gives you 3 per bundle (which is advertised as "randomly given"), and 1 solitary player can only be hit 5 times in a day.
So you're right, I don't see where it says cooldown, but I also don't see someone (personally) paying $30 wasting all three of them on 1 person to take 2 cities max in the end. And if you really want to make my life miserable 5 times a day and take all my cities by spending $60 minimum for the week (and that's if you're uber luck), you really must hate my guts :p.
Seriously? Who hates someone they don't know "$60" worth?
so u would use 3 uncommon items to try plunder my cities ? - i would just empty my cities and u can have fun trying to plunder an empthy city (and wasting 3 items in the process )..
but from what u ask i am rather sure u dont play on my server , as u seem to be unaware how war is fought here
zhay
the thing is a alliance only needs one. They can use that and every member of that alliance can hit that city nonstop with transportswawes, if you are sleeping and you follow the rules and dont share info or bot, if someone still dont do that, you can loose everything , heroes,resources,city. And what happends to 90% of the people loosing their best heroes and all their resources. Well they quit the game. So this might looks like a good financial plan right now but in the long run it will loose evony money, and it will make the servers more boring
i think evony has gone too far with this, it was a game played mostly fairly before, this gives people an unfair advantage over the others, it will lose evony players and people will be telling others why they don't play evony any more. time for a rethink please, this is so wrong on so many counts if i wanted to play with gimmicks i would play world 11 not world i and i know others feel the same about this
u guys are insane wt i am worried about somone forces my gates open and just scouts bomb me to hell and steals my city and hero
No I know this, but I think I wasn't being clear enough which is my bad. The added bonus you only get during June 20th to June 26th, and you "randomly" get 1 of the four packages offered as a bonus (only if you spend $30 or more on cents).
From this we can surmise that individual purchases (buying $30s at a time individually, not all in one lump sum) that even if they got that specific bundle as a bonus each time, they'd have to spend at least $30 a pop on it.
So yes they get their cents (etc), but to obtain those items they are forced to buy packages anyway.
Did that clear up the confusion, or did I make it worse? ;)
so u tell me the only way u play this game is by gatecontrol and kill incomming ? and thats how you always do it ?
u really must live an easy life on u server .... is it a secret where u play
will put that on my *** i hope we eventually merge **' list as killing reds there seem very easy
zhay
why not keep the loyalty of all your cities at 5? that way they cant close them!! the strat will be useless
yea but then they can start sending cav waves and junk
