I am with you Baka, I am just going to run my army till I have nothing left.
To put this plain and simple this is a war game. I assumed it was a game where i build large armies and go to "War" By the time the retarded Devs get done we will have nothing. if you can only support a 20-25k army without raiding the barbs what is the point? What do you think that puny army is going to do against a level 10 city with 10,000 archer towers, 3000 traps, And a thousand or so rocks, abatis, and logs? Die 100% every time. So again i ask what is the point of a war game if u cannot build large armies and make war? Should i train needlepoint and chatting up to level 10? That’s all that's going to be left to do. If i want to chat i can go to AOL. This game is becoming useless as tits on a bull. I really don't understand the reasoning behind all the whining new people do. When i started this game and seen myself surrounded by a pile of level 8-10's and i knew i had seven days i decided to spend as much of that 7 days building up as strong of a defense as i could. By the time my 7 days was up i applied a truce for 12 more hours of prep time. When i was finally able to be attacked my walls was 3/4 full of defenses, I had a moderately small army and i kept my resources and gold drained to nearly nothing. Once the big boys around me scouted they seen they stood to loose 10-15k troops for less goods then what they could replace 1k for. Bottom line is i made myself an unappealing target. Any smart player is not going to attack you unless he/she can gain something instead of loosing something. Unless you done something to make em angry during your 7 days like took a valley that belonged to em. So in closing i am going to say they are ruining this game slowly but surely with every thing they have done thus far. until most of their players like me that has and would have paid em money is gone. Then all they will have left is all the whiners that has no clue how to play a war game so they whine about all the stronger players they see saying "I play 3 times a week for almost an hour and this guy has way more then me. He must be cheating, I think i'll whine on the boards" Good luck with that and enjoy the knitting and chatting, I'm outta here.
P.S. I will use my 300k strong army to annihilate as many noobs as i can before i go so you all don't run out of whiners and crybabies

What good is a Kingdom without a Queen?
At least give us a few Bar Maids
Yep I am with you. But I am staying here and playing the game through its growing pains..THIS IS SAD...We are about to kill the lil people in this game. GOOD JOB Devs...ROFLMFAO
I have enough food to last my massively over bloated army for at least a week, with no issues. As those of us who are advanced are trying to tell you, this didn't really hurt us. It hurt everyone else. We can quite easily crush players who only have armies as large as they can sustain with in city farms alone. However, there was no fun in that. We fought each other. Now, however, the losses against any serious wall defs seem to be over 15 to 1 against players on an equal level. There isn't much point of that.
We aren't just complaining because we lost a few ballista. We are complaining because we understand the mechanics of the game well enough to know that the game has now become unplayable at virtually every level because defense overwhelms offence between roughly equivalent players. So all you smugly self satisfied players who are happy with the way you have enough food to feed your army, have still not understood the actual consequences of the changes, and have not really tried attacking anyone else yet to discover just how pointless that will be. The only way to succeed in an attack any more is to massively overwhelm weaker players. Not a particularly sustainable game model.
Please understand. We are not just complaining for OUR benefit. We are complaining for yours too, you just haven't realized it yet because you don't understand the game like we do.

The issue isn't simply that feeding my 12mil food per hour army is going to be impossible in a week. The issue is that this game no longer supports viable long-term pvp. It has become sim city. If you don't understand how terrible these changes were for this game, then you aren't here for pvp and competition, and imo, you're too stupid to realize what they just destroyed.
Anyone on these forums who thinks that they are somehow smarter because they can feed their 100-200k troops, while players like me with 6-10x that amount can't, is seriously delusional. You are the players too stupid to catch on, destined to be the mediocre meek who shall now inherit Evony. Any real talented or skilled players will now leave this game for something that rewards their ability. Congrats retards, all the people with an IQ above 100 have left the building. You are now the smertest in the land.
Oh, and the "beta advantages" and "cheater" comments are idiocy. I never played beta and learned about the Ballista farming late, yet probably had an army in the top 20 on server 2. You all need to quit patting yourselves on the back for being slow and stupid. Enjoy your city building game where skill doesn't matter as long as you can build a few archer towers per day.

The only Beta advantage I got was a single small medal box. That is it. The only real Beta advantage was experience playing the game, and that experience is what is telling us that the game is now somewhat pointless to play. I had nearly 100k prestige when I came out of my Beginners protection, and was already producing ballista. That is because I know what I am doing, and that is my Beta Advantage. That is why we are trying to tell you all how massively BAD this last change was. You are just not listening. NONE of you can attack anyone, not just barbs, we are talking any other player with roughly equivalent prestige, with any hope of success. Wall defs have become so powerful that a couple thousand archers towers and and traps can wipe out tens of thousands of attacking warriors, with pertty much no losses. Pike, the units that for some reason are magically better against towers do not really fare any better. The game is now screwed, all you can do is sit in your city and hide, or pick on people much weaker than yourself.
kill a man your murder, Kill many your a conquerer kill em all your a god.
Time to aim for godhood
There are only Four boxes to use in defense of Democracry Ballot, Jury, Soap, And Ammo. Use in that order.
"Why did you attack me 9 times? now i have nothing, what a pointless thing to do, even after i was at 0 loyalty you kept attacking me to get that 5k food"
"i quit, i don't know why you attacked me 12 times. even when i have 0 food"
"You #@#$! i have no more food. How the hell am i going to feed my army
i quit ##$%!"
"I know the patch is horrible but dam man why do you gotta take me down to 0 loyalty in my 4 cities. You took everything from me! This game has gone to the dogs... i quit"
"Do you realize how @#$@# long it took me to get that amount of resources?
I quit @#$#@#, you even brought me down to 0 loyalty in my 3 cities @##$$!"
The blood is already flowing! =)
