Exactly how does a single account non-botter with minimal troops due to manual farming fight against a botter that has multi-millions of each troop?
Whenever someone with those troop numbers came along, I would move everything out and comfort... he/she would get bored and leave.
I like the idea of fighting for survival but with the troop numbers of late, options are limited.
Don't get me wrong, I like the thought behind this, I just don't see how its going to help anyone but the botters/multi-feeder/etc...
Oh how I miss the old days........
A defender only really needs a small amount of troops to defend almost any wave, yes you might take losses every now and then but it would be a tiny fraction to what your enemy is taking.
Spend some time testing out new defence methods with alliance members and by reading around the forums, defending with troops only becomes tricky when you have multiple cities under attack at once.
I was recently 0'd in 2 cities by a player that has more troops than my whole alliance combined, that's 97 members w/average 6-8 cities each ( had 9 before this btw for previous poster). Yes, he lost vast amounts of troops before it was over but I promise you he will be back at previous troop levels before next weekend if not sooner.
I am familiar with defense, my issue is with 5mil ballista, 3mil pults, 80mil arch... see the pattern? They don't care about their losses with resources and huge heroes in their favor. Losses add up fast for the few that play as intended.
If we could cut those troop numbers (as they must be from things against ToS) I would not even be here in the forums about this issue.
This isn't a moan fest, as some will try to imply, just pointing out a con to this change from a non-bot, non-multi-feeder account perspective.
Just my 0.02 with 0.01 change
Yeah I see your point, its obviously a much larger problem on Age1 with the stupid instant wall defence/troop heros and botted resource feeders.
You should move to Age2 ;) someone can spend $10k and still only build troops 2x faster then you can :p
ever since the amulet gift nerf, new players in age2 that don't seriously coin are just farmed anyway
so if you coin in a big way, then age2 is an alterative
but don't be too surprised when you find that age2 has the same problems as age1 when it comes to the issues that you mentioned above
I just want to say that I love the new comforting thing. This and the inactive city thing have really made me like playing evony again. Now when I log I think hmm who can I capture today. Instead of oh cool let me attack someone for 3 hours kill all his troops take all his stuff get the enemy city to 15 loy or 5 loy and then watch their helper move in resources and repeat process over and over and over etc etc etc....
Agree, don't agree with the need to farm massive amounts of food. I want to play the game, not farm. If I choose to repetively level my hero that is part of the choice in how I build my account. I guess having a massive army is also a choice, but w/o it you are going to get creamed.
Gee I wonder if anyone has ever made that suggestions before. :rofl:
