In terms of defence, it was in the game for a reason and was made meaningless with the abuse of mechanics, resulting in half million man armies. Once those half million man armies are gone, they can adjust the system back the other way.

People keep making blanket statements, "This is what Evony is about", "That's what Evony is about".

The things Evony have become are what the players made it. It doesn't mean that's what it was meant to be. Nobody can say what the game was supposed to look like because hack and slash power gamers found the quickest route from point A to point B and in a week and a half, Archery 9 and 15 Barracks to level 4, combined with unlimited npc resources equaled "I Win".

It's a PvP online game but the dictators have one goal. Get rid of everyone else. The contradictions of complaints are staggering. I like imagination in my games. This is glorified Yhatzee. I doubbt that was the plan.
Couldn't have said it any better myself. Part of any business plan is adaptation. You have to adapt your product once it hits the market, if there are aspects that are going a different direction than you intended.

Look at Mountain Dew. For years and years, the marketers behind Mountain Dew tweaked the marketing strategies numerous and countless times, because it wasn't hitting the desired demographic. It wanted to compete with Coca Cola and Pepsi. They even went as far as to change the product itself, and over the years, they finally found a winning combination.

What i`m saying is, EVERY product has an adaptation phase. The developers didn't expect some players to be able to accomplish certain things, so they tweaked their product. They will continue to tweak their product until they and the user base is satisfied. People have been playing Evony for two months now. TWO months. If you are unwilling to be patient while they fine tune their product, go elsewhere.
