    Also, stop F¤&¤ng calling it strats! This is supposed to be items that works for both age1 an age2, right? Newsflash: Age1 doesn't have strats. So it will have to be a regular coin item, kind of like the vesta's blessing.
    You didnt read it too well then
    In the Devil package you can slow down someones troops by 30% right... Then your ally can speed your troops back up by 30%... Therefore countering the speed effect..
    This can go on and on till someone runs out of strats or until its limit is reached.

    And why are we calling them strats? Well because us on age2 are used to calling these 'Items' Strats.. And from what I had read on this thread, They were only on new Age2 servers.. I wasn't aware they were on age1, And even if they are, They are still strats

    Thing is.. A botters ally can use the gate strat on their ally to close their gates... Right? And if you cant preform the devils on an ally, People will just use alts or neutral alliances, Like we already do for pop-drafts.

    Evony, I am ... totally ... underwhelmed.

    In practise, this will mean thousands of real dollars to make a small dent in a large gate-closing player's troops.

    Should I say "thanks"?

    but, the gate strat has a cooldown as it can only be used 4 times a day so how will they counter it? unless enemys develope psychic powers predicting an attack on their own. as for alts, you can e&e ppl in your own alliance as well as most the other strats, i dont see why thatd be a problem. well have to wait and see what the na42 ppl make of all this

    4 times a day.. So you force their gate open... Their ally forces it shut... You force it open, Their ally forces it closed...
    Then what.. Thats the 4 times used.. Gates are still closed, Evony is $120 richer.. Botters gates are still closed

    Truce support city so the open gates strat can't be used on it, move troops from HC and let your enemies hit empty HC ...with open gates ... Since you cannot cap a city in one hour due to the idiotic loyalty drop rate system, I honestly don't see the point.

    yay, evony, wasted money on atp and hundreds of $ spent to gain just one of the useless open gate strats.

    *feels another wave of underwhelming-ness coming on*

    Reading the mail, it clearly states the difference between age 1 and age 2 on one of the items. Yes, they are being tested on some age 2 servers at the moment, but they should be tested on age 1 as well. And if they appear on age 1, they won't be called strats. If they change age 1 to be more like age 2 they will lose too many customers.

    And to be honest i cant remember what the mails say, Someone should post the full mail here for all to see, I cant find it now.
    And the naming thing isnt the issue here.. Who cares if they are called strats or items lol, You know as well as I do that no ones gunna quit over the name of something.. Its what the Item does that makes people 'want to' quit.

    Default Angel Devil

    It’s time to decide which side you are for: Angel or Devil! From now, purchases of $30 or more will also include the choice to be an Angel or a Devil. Will you rush to the aid of your friends, or will you bring pain to your enemies? The choice is FREE but it’s not easy! So which will it be?

    ANGEL

    If you choose to be an Angel, you’ll randomly receive one of the three Angel’s Boons to bolster your friends/allies!

    * Fleet Feet * x2
    Using this item on another player will increase the marching speed of their troops by 30% for 4 hours. This item can stackup to 3 times.

    * Endurance of the Immortals * x3
    Using this item on another player will increase their troops’ hit points by 5% for 12 hours. This item can stack up to 3 times.

    * Alchemist’s Amplifier * x3
    Using this item on another player will increase the stats of all their heroes by 15% for 1 hour. This item can stackup to 3 times.


    DEVIL

    If you choose to be a Devil, you’ll randomly receive one of the four Devil’s Pacts to torment your enemies!

    * Opportunist’s Plague * x2
    Using this item on another player’s city will instantly kill its entire civilian population and reduce population growth by 10% for 4 hours!

    *Lost in the Wastes * x3
    Using this item on another player’s city will increase the marching time of all troops from that city by 15% for 4 hours. This item can stack up to 3 times!

    *Poisoned Feast * x3
    Using this item on another player’s city will reduce the stats of heroes in that city by 10% for 2 hours. In Age 2 energy is reduced by 10% during the impacted period. This item can stack up to 3 times!

    * Broken Gates * x3
    Using this item on another player’s city will allow you to force their gates to remain open or closed (your choice) for 1 hour. Players may only be a victim of this 4 times per day.

    -------------
    Bold mine

    Now, note that the Devil strats are against enemies, so you can't use them to shut a friendly's gates. 4 times, no cooldown mentioned.

    Yes, if you are online you can move troops/res etc. but the ramifications are big.

    Most see this as a way to defeat bots and gate closers, but what about those of us who always have open gates and fight?

    Port in on player, close gates, wreck walls, steal resources so walls can't be rebuilt, knock loyalty down to 5 in 10-20 minutes with spam and then mech smash or phract smack troops. Res gone so no heals. Better be online 24/7 or yer toast.

    Most I've talked to see this as final victory for the coiners and the end of many servers. Maybe the days of the game are numbered and Evony wants to rake in that last cash infusion. I'm giving na1 about 3 weeks before it goes belly up.

    The problem we have on na22 is people running bots that comfort before the 5 loy so their gates never open we have a guy named RON holding a 16 has been shut for a week gates never opened i dont need the res I want to kill his troops i have been sitting at the 1 mile spot for 5 days have yet to have the chance to kill a troop something needs to be done because with speech texing and comforting i will never get that chance unless he loses power at his house and his bot shuts down. He dared us to port in on him there are 3 of us here and he wont open up. At least with this strat it gives us a chance to hit him. I know its basically impossible to steal a 16 now on the servers this old because of login sharing and botting but to not even fight why play a war game.
