    Exactly my thoughts, and I'm going to wait hoping that someone who supported making changes to the HC drafting system (other than Japanpimp lol, need someone who has capped HC's preferably higher level HC's so I can relate with that person), can convince me to go for higher lvl 14's especially when other people can take it away from you. And now, to add more of a risk factor to owning one of these higher lvl HC's, we can't draft other HC's + the drafting has been reduced which just completely shoves the scales down to favor: not going to go for any more historical cities. A lot of other people will begin to feel this way (even those that don't read these forums) because once people realize the cost is much more than the benefit, they will tell all their friends and alliance mates and the 14/16 will seem more of a burden than a triumph eventually. (Yes you do get some benefit but is it worth it?) I am not even criticizing the dev's new change but instead hoping for the best now that it will be reversed and at the bare minimum changed to where unowned historical cities can be drafted from but at a lower rate like 5%.

    By changing the elements of the end gameplay and objectives, I fear this will have a negative effect on the game ultimately and will cause profits and revenue streams to decrease (it doesn't matter if you meet a minimum, in business, the more money you get the better it is, period.) I played Age I and stopped for a while for real life issues, but when I saw Age II and the aspect of conquering historical cities, I became intrigued and decided to start playing Evony again. Now, I am beginning to regret this decision especially if there is no real end game promise since Atlantis won't probably be worth it nor will level 16 capitals, I'd rather save my troops for PVP but even that system (colonization/suppression in NA servers 1-19) needs to be changed drastically so it doesn't favor the defender so much.

    it's not even that it favors the defend, it's just pointless to colonize anyone, why lose troops to colonize someone, the tribute doesn't pay for anything, it's a bullying tool more then anything else, you can bully a city into being your subject, but it's gonna cost you.

    I'd love the attack button, but even if they gave us a plunder option I would be happy, at least then PvP would have a point.

    Agreed, PvP needs some revamping and the colonization system needs to be changed hands down (not saying they did a terrible job but it could be better and that's a main purpose of forums for any game, to discuss how to improve it)

    Well guys obviously the DEVs have no intention on backing up this change.

    To all mods....im not being an azz here when i say that i think we, the players, deserve an explanation. We know u wont fix the MISTAKE but can you please give us a real explanation instead of some made up BS? TC thank you for at least trying to defend this even tho i dont believe any of that was your true feelings. U at least spent ur time to try to give light on the situation instead of some other mods who would rather go through and delete posts on here instead of trying to help out the people who play the game.

    I don't know where evony is going. Recent moves leave me confused. I know being a for profit entity, they need to maximize $$$$. I have no prob with that more money they make means a better product for me. Coiners like myself will spend less due to recent changes. Short term hit in revs for sure. Long term I don't understand either you may have more people playing if you level the playing field but these people will not spend $$$ so %$*#@+)$! em. If I was a shareholder I would be asking some serious questions from management.

    Heh I've got 1 Special Happyness chest in the last 4 days, used to get 3-5 daily heh, that's a massive drop.

    I'm sure they will reflect the changes eventually and prob make another change.
