Your the only one who seems to think it was CLEAR. You cannot truce an Historic City, yet when you capture one, it goes in to Auto Truce.
When you sow discord on a colonies Hero, it doesn't show in your Feasting Hall until you either 1. Reload the game, 2. Wait till after maintenance
Please do not tell people that they knew it was a bug, that's offensive and exceptionally Rude at best.

Incorrect again. That aspect was promoted as part of the gameplay by yourself and other Evony staff for over a year, only now when you want to try and earn revenue streams from other sources do you claim it was a bug.

As for leveling the playing field - its a WAR game for gawds sake, the rules should be as minimal as possible and representative of what happens on the battle field.

You do not understand, if you did you would have not ventured down this ill thought out path you have chosen. You would also have thought about compensating people for their losses, hell, your not even able to give the Royals back to the players who lost them.... an utter shambles is what it is.

As for SPICE things up - you've killed off more players than your previous ill thought out ventures. Remember the drafts outrage? You don't learn from your previous mistakes do you?

It's a step backwards not forwards. You have removed incentive to play. It was an enjoyable part of the game play, searching, finding, porting over, killing, capturing and then moving on.... rinse and repeat.

You've killed off the searching which in turn kills off the rest.

Even more compelling and exciting.... i'd rather shove wasps up my bum - thats more compelling and exciting than your latest change!
