There's no point wasting all your resources on troops for cannon fodder battles right now if they'd be better used on defences and building/resource upgrades.

There's no point wasting all your resources on troops for cannon fodder battles right now if they'd be better used on defences and building/resource upgrades.
He said the current rate is a maximum of 20%, meaning if you kill enough defenders you can theoretically get a 20% chance, but usually it will be less.
If they're saying that 50% is the minimum now, then, presumably, no matter how many troops you kill you're guaranteed at least a 50% chance, and high enemy casualties can get you more.
so confuse.... whats the rate of getting medal right now??
basicly if your in newbie protection and have full valleys -wait for the patch
if not then either get full valleys
or keep your troops handy for defence/attacks.
once patch goes in all hell will break loose so expect when you send troops to npc valleys to be met with at least 1 other players army, lol
uhmm that didn't really explain anything sry, if its the patch than when is the patch going to happen??
Please hurry up with this patch. The game has gone from fun, to boring because of the lack of medals. I've launched about 100 attacks on level 5 to 7 swamp 'valleys' in search of freedom medals. Total medals found so far: Zero.
what you can login?
most of can't right now is anything happening?
Good news,
Things are looking good during the testing. The patch is expecting to be released within the next couple of days IF ALL GOES WELL..
The patch will be rolled out during the normal maintenance.. I cant get a 100% date on when the patch is going to be released but its very soon...
Gazza, there have been questions on Michaelangelo Scripts. Have you found out about them at all? Thanks.
I truly hope the patch makes the glitches we had to endure worth it. Been stuck at 2 cities for a long time now.
Agreed, i have wasted troops on this stupid medal problem... @Gazza: Can you also tell the developers that i won't accept no bull story of confidentiality, i was hoping not to begin having go at developers on another game (i am having a go at moderators of space4k for not updating in 3 years as per the terms and conditions between the user and the DEVELOPERS)... anyway, the medal farming ratio drop was mean't to be realistic... WELL THIS AIN'T REALISTIC! Not One Bit. In every battle medals were won, i think your thinking of when people were given medals, HELL NO, people would steal it off the dead :P. So technically the medal probability really should be 100%... again.
Wow I think your wrong in most aspects Gazza has actually done what 99% of the gamers have asked and thats gotten a result on the medal info. Now why should you get a medal 100% of the time where is the challenge in that? im up for a 50-75% drop rate but from what its going to be i dont forsee any problems unless someone like you comes along to just well ... Complain for something thats being taken care of ....... So to the Devs and Gazza Thanks for all the info and patches that will make this game a bit more fun :cool:
At the moment the game basically stops once you reached a certain level: no medals to be won and with that promotion and no new towns. And every building above level 9 requires a Michelangelo's Script. Where is the fun to play?
I heard from different sides now that they will leave Evony if the medal situation will not be fixed soon. I will be one of them...
Thank goodness it's all going to get fixed up! More Michaelangelo's Scripts would be super-cool to have, too. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks a lot Gazza for the post.
I've attacked 20 lakes of level 5-6. My current medal wins are .. let's see, multiply by 3, carry the 2, divide by 1 .. Oh right NONE. Not a single freakin one. I've attacked with vastly superior troops and didn't win any. Fought with even troops, took damage but didn't win any. And fought desperate battles with to few troops, lost them all but still didn't get a single bloody medal. So explain to me again exactly how these medals are supposed to be awarded again and how the percentage of medals are being increased?!? Because I haven't seen the slightest indication of it.
I've seen in the statistics list in server 5 that there are baronets, barons, and viscounts. I'm not sure but considering the fact that my current medal win percentage is ZERO, There has probably been some medals being bought in order to advance. If buying medals is the only way to advance in this game, then congratulations. The money people win! Way to go! Because there is obviously no reason for me to waste any more of my time time here.
I don't mind the idea of people being able to pay for an advantage. I work and don't have much time to spend on the game so being able to pay simply levels out the field with people who live online. But if it is required to pay in order to advance, then I might as well spend my money on more popular Pay-to-Play games.
Yeah, this is something of a rant and I'll probably regret making it once I cool down but seriously .. NONE at all after over 20 mid level valley wins?!? That isn't just bad random chance. That is simply stupid.
its not fixed yet its waiting for a patch date,
hopefully won't belong
yes some people bought medals, some have been lucky and got them off lvl 7 valleys and others have not been so lucky.
but atm they know its broken they have witten the patch they are just testing it now and then it will be introduced asap
I got a Nation medal from a lvl 9 lake

So yea, its possible, just dont get your hopes up.
I am a little concerned by this startment made by the "Dev":
What might we not understand about their views? The games has STAGNATED based on their changes and I have not heard a single positive thing about any of the "changes" that have been made. 200 * nothing is still nothing. 200 * iota is still pretty much nothing. :(Quote:
[07:45:17] Gazza: So, high level medals can only be obtained from NPC citys(barb villages), but lower level medals you can obtain via both valleys and barbarian city, ?
[07:45:59] Dev: The community might not understand our views right now, But we actually moved up a big step, 200 times more than the orginal sounds like a big move to us. However it's still not a fair system.
As a Dev you are allowed to have "your view", but when it comes to having a successful game, it is not the Devs who have to be happy. It is the players who have to be happy. No players, no game. QED. Time for them to put egos, attitudes, or high moral standards on a shelf and give the people what they want - a fun, playable game.:eek:

The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math.
Do they have a date when they will be pushing the patch to the servers? They said the Beta gifts will go out after so we should expect this soon??
Thank you for all the work you do.
I won a freedom medal today by capturing a level 8 valley and losing 600 archers! Isn't this the highest medal there is? Now I have millions of freedom medal and I don't need them. I want freaking lion medals and courage medals!!!
I would be happy with a few Rose Medals. I know this is a tired story but I have been unable to advance for awhile.I have been attacking level 5-7 valleys and burning through some good troops so far 1 lion medal in about 30 attacks (just want 5 rose medals to advance) :(
Is there a trick to it?
I have attacked about 80 valleys up through L7, probably more. NO MEDALS Some were raiding missions, others to conquer. Does it matter?
If i keep this up I will lose my cities because I can't restore troops fast enough now that I am fair game. Any idea, a date maybe we can see this fixed?
I have a city I just spent all day attacking to get loyalty down to 0 only to find I still need this promotion. Is this a bait and switch?
Evony free forever - (unless you want to progress)
I am sort of grumpy. It is nice to know someone is working on it but it seems this has been an issue since before I even started. Will it be an issue after I stop? I am not attacking another valley to hunt for medals until I know I can get them. Why waste my time?
A timeframe would be nice. "working on it" is sort of lame.
Thanks!
Its been said that in a few days the script will be fixed during regular maintenance times.
I hope few days don't translate to a week. I have attacked like 6 valleys in last 2 hrs with their level ranging from 5 to 8 and nothing.
Im not seeing this increase drop rate at all, its a load of bzzzzz wax so far. When are they actually going to do something with the flaws in the game other then talk about it???
Actually Gazza, 2 days ago you said you had this conversation with the devs:
So, they did in fact claim to have raised the drop rate. 20% would be 1 in 5. There is no way whatsoever that is the current drop rate.
In fact, if they think that the rate that the medals are dropping now is 20%, and they are basing the new estimates of 50-90% of being 2.5 to 4.5 times more than what is current, then the next patch won't actually fix things.

i very much wish noobs would LERN2POST. holy crap you losers, why dont you lern2read while your at it. if you actually read thru this topic u'll notice that 99.9% of the questions have been answered BEFORE they were posted...noobs. heres a quick summary
1. medal drop rate currently MAXIMUM 20%
2. new pacth increases it to 50-90%
3. NEW PATCH NOT RELEASED YET(within 7 days of the letter sent out, so like 3 or 4 days left if all goes well)...noobs
4. item drop rate(scripts) yet to be discussed, unless i missed it by getting sick of reading the noob posts and skipped over.
5. package will be delivered before/during the patch release
and theres prolly atleast one thing im forgetting in my frustration. holy crap, same questions over and over....friggin noobs
I just feel sorry for Gazza :(
Puts in all this work and answers all these questions and it seems to fall on deaf ears since no one listens. :confused:
Im going to bed any moment now, its 5am here, I was suppose to go to sleep 4hours ago lol...
Soon as i wake up i will fire this towards the devs, and also i will ask about the current drop rate being 20%maximum... and try and get some clarification on this.
Indeed, its getting quite annoying, im sure ill live with it though, next time i probably wont put as much effort into it?
You could post in the report mod forum, ive seen other people post compliments in there.
