    how about you go start new game server 10 and then show us your advanced skillz . probably you will need 3 months to get 10 cities and the level you are now thx to BETA testing not skillz .

    Actually, I'm playing on server 9 and already have ballista's, allowing me to farm everyone, not just NPC's.

    Farming medals wasn't an advanced tactic, never said it was, but that didn't stop people from crying about it being an exploit by the advanced players, leading to the medal fiasco a few weeks ago.

    As to the 10 city remark, no player who knows what he's doing, will ever build 10 villages. You just handicap yourself by doing that(Uh oh, I see the next exploit outcry comming on).

    Not everyone on server one was a beta tester. I joined a week after Civony started it's live trial. Infact, I don't see anyone from Beta who didn't have to start over. And all from said beta is highly skilled players.

    As to this, RK has already started on Server 1. I think the rivers turned red there this afternoon when Galigar got into it

    EDIT: Personally I wish they would take out the ten city rule... Oo

    'beta testing' was frankly a joke... I started a month ago, 3 days after the first player started (from my understanding). Medals were somewhat easier due to things like scout attack spamming valleys, but their wasn't any huge gains anywhere that couldn't be countered now... And we had a real learning curve, we had no idea what a city needed a motnh ago...

    And, I woke up to this change, and nary a redlined food production stat in sight...
    I'm not about to lose my troops... I have weeks before I have any issues... and even then... I doubt I will... but you have 1/5th or less my troops... I'd say your going to die and it won't be much fun for you... o.o

Certainly, producing 200k archers a day as one moderator suggested, is not going to be possible because you will not find a sustainable food source to support this type of growth rate.
    It's very simple... Spend 200k troops as they are made each day to claim an equal number of resources... Repeat... I have 24 barbarian cities within an hours march (by siege, not foot let alone cav) and all together they can keep me afloat for a very long time...

    I'm not complaining because I cna't survive this, I'm complaining because this was they wrong way to go about 'fixing' what _some_ saw as a bug... Those big guys will still be eating you next week though if you have a city left by then...

    I can understand the players that are crying about this because they cant support a 80-200k army, they are crying because they get lucky with the wheel, or buy alot of coins, so they get the head on things. This patch will run off some of the buyers in my opinion, because most people (unlike me) that spend money on games like these only do so so that they can win and be unchallenged. i enjoy the thought of having to find more strats to feed my armies, i have a few but wont be sharing them because it might be outlawed too

    My problem is spending all the time building my cities to adapt to the game play... now they'll all have to be changed and rebuilt again... to adapt to the new type of game play with is farming many barbarian towns and relying more on buying items with taxes collected from cottages... and having warehouses to store more food from being plundered to support the large army inside my gates...

    I can easily keep hundreds of thousands inside my gates open/closed whatever, from farming the dozen new barb cities I made around me... problem is when they decide to take all those barb cities away one day because they decide thats not how they want the game played...

    as soon as you finally get established and a game going, they turn it completely around on you one morning... whats going to happen the morning they cao how many barb towns are on each server... all players move near those barb towns... then they decide to scatter those barb towns somehow, now players move all over again...

    they just keep screwing with it as if it doesn't affect adn upset people... you made the game what it is, fix the bugs not the mechanics... they are what they are adn people will adopt strategies and gameplay based upon what they are... but when you completely change them, you simply upset everyone for no good reason other than you didn't like how they played it...

    for better or worse we'll all change... and play the way they want... but whats to say in another month once we all play the same way and build armies up again, they won't yank it all away from us again? that just ****es people off for no reason other than they didn't like how we played their game.

    maybe you are right but they just want to improve game better .
    i really want to see a battle where attacker outsmart defender and then he get medal and we all say yes he deserve that medal .
    still there is something wrong with npc if i send 800 ballista and 2k transports
    and they all survive against npc lvl 5 every time i send them ?
    they should make counterunit for every type of units .
    archers are killing every unit they are way too overpowered maybe they should be good for defense and - 50 % on attacking .
    NPC should not be man made every city that is abandoned should be destroyed cut more on food pls .

    Since the latest patch, many people are quitting. I thought it would be a good idea to update this topic with my status.
    Please keep in mind, this is not a "I'm gonna quit topic". This is a "I'm gonna make many many people quit before I quit" topic, so please spare me the headache of complains and criticism.
    So this is it:
    If you are playing on server 3 and on the verse of loosing your troops to starvation; if you are planning to quit anyway, join me in my Alliance Marauder, so we can wreak havoc and make as many players quit as possible. I'll stick around and barb as many cities as I can before all my troops are gone.
    And I'm not one who just say this in a moment of anger. A few of us have banded together to play the last great battles. Check out the post of our Alliance Introduction and our Marauder's Law.
    For the rest of you who just quit without a fight, shame on you!
    This is the crucial moment for the few last major fights in history of Evony.

    The problem with this bloodbath is that since archer towers are so effective now, where a lvl 6 wall with lvl 6 archery slightly out-range lvl 10 archery ballista, you'll be the one crying if the "newbie" has a modest number of towers. So bring lots of meatshields.
