This resulted in many things including HC's on age2 being taken which couldnt have been done previously due to alliances botting comfort scripts and such. It also resulted in players excessively dropping prestige so that their comforting would not increase as high as 10 million as fast (the base comfort level was set by prestige). This caused another change; evony took out the ability for players to drop prestige by quitting alliances (as with almost any change on evony this caused great uproar for different reasons by different people across both ages). sooooo GREAT!!! everything is fixed. but wait, it doesnt take the full amount of res to comfort using praying? it only takes something like 10% of what its supposed to? not only that but i heard tonight that disaster relief will still cost the appropriate amount. What has happened? I would like to know how intentional the change in the praying comforting function was. Can any evony reps or devs comment on this change? I honestly LOVED the idea that I could go and capture another players city with out his bot sitting around for 3 days comforting. now that a 100 mil prest player can use 1 mil food to lift prest by 25 for as long as he wants all day, i dont feel the same way about going to pvp ... i feel more like its back to the way it was. if it was an intentional change, i hope that you, evony, are taking steps to a REFORMED comforting system not a band-aid.

Thanks for your time.
Praying doesn't take the full amount, yes. BUT, there is still a good thing, it takes 1 million.

This is good because bots would usually use scouts to transport food/gold into a city being capped. 100k scouts carries just under 1m total ress, and it's gonna be split between food and gold.

Bot cities are still easy to capture because of this.
