Thread: NPC deletion

    Default NPC deletion

    Okay, that's two days in a row my NPCs have been deleted. We were warned this would happen so I'm not complaining, but it would be nice to have some indication as to how often it's going to happen. Without this, it's impossible to make any plans.

    Any thoughts about sustainable food supplies, guys?

    You are meant to have smaller armies so find somewhere where high level NPCs are denser and you should be fine. But it should happen everyday I think. Keep making an NPC everyday and see if its deleted the next day.

    If they are going to delete them once a day, they should start from scratch with full resources and replenish 100% instantly so you can nail it repeatedly a few times in a row.

    Is this in Age II, or are they deleting NPCs in age I now also ? If they are then that is complete BS

But sometimes, something so bad happens, that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes the crow could bring that soul back to put the wrong things right"

    No, as I said the idea is you have smaller armies not bigger ones.

    smaller armies might be the goal, but how do you ever expect to conquer Atlantis and its 1.4mil phracts with the small army you speak of? For that matter, how do 50 small armies conquer that kind of feat?

    Like I said, let me build an npc and hit it immediately, 4 or 5 times repeatedly and you can delete them every 8 hours for all I care. But there seriously needs to be an adjustment or compromise for those that want to conquer historic fortresses.

    If you can't feed the troops you are building, before you have an adequate amount of troops to begin the endeavor, what's the point. Yes, the larger ones require teamwork for sure, no one person alone should be able to sustain the army necessary, but what about the lvl 12 and 14's? You should be able to take one of those without assistance. With no means to feed an army big enough to take one, I think the whole point of the historic cities is moot.

    I wouldn't mind so much, but they're incrementing the flat level in the maintenance as well, so all the NPC5s get replaced by a flat6, the NPC10s by a flat1 etc. Which means they're useless for days. If it's really going to be daily, then we need different strategies - can't farm NPCs, can't player farm - interesting times.

    They could delete the player made NPC's every Sunday night. Once a week would clean the map and give player's the option of farming npc's for that week. Makes sense to me.

    .
    I remember the shock and awe that occurred when the first level 10's were conquered after Evony adjusted the npc replenishment rate. It seemed nearly impossible back then, but now most of us farm them as part of our daily routine. It might take time, but it will be done, and I'm sure 6 months from now, nobody will bat an eye at conquering Atlantis

    Its easy to take a 12 or 14 with the current system on your own.
