Big warcity 1+bil troops, down to 0

[Rick Brown]

I have only ever played Age 1 - and it has all the issues I mentioned.

When the average player can have 2 million pults 7 days into a server, the game is done.

I quit the game back in February after trying out server 200 for one last chance.

By week 3, the lag was so bad you could barely send out farm teams, most guys in my alliance had level 500 heroes, everyone was using 1 million unit mech waves on a regular basis

Why?

Troop glitch made it possible to manufacture MILLIONS of mech and resources.

One night I made 12 million phracts and 2 million ballistas, and 4 million transports full of food and lumber. That was in a 10 city account that was set up to take advantage of the glitch, but there were others doing it even better.

What's the point of the game when I can build, for free, in 5 minutes, an army that 8 years ago would have been more than an entire server had after 3 weeks?

This game was ruined around server 120 when bots became involved, and alt accounts were ignored by the owners. They could have stopped it all then, and probably had a stable game now.

Very sad.

what troop glitch

Not impossible mate. You just need more troops for a minimum base defense now. Minimum 400k bults/ballis, 2.5 times as many rams (1+ mil) and 65 times as many trans (26+ mil). Drip reign or march/recall sets 10k arch, 500 cata & 1 cav for layered mech, and 10k arch & 500 cata (no cav) for naked mech, if they're not timed in with layered hits. Dxcalc it bruh.

In my opinion it does make CD useless however, because out of 10 (or more) bannered mechs landing at the same second, 9 will get a shot with no walls. Hell, even with full walls: 18k towers are 5.4 million attack points where 1.5 million catapults are 900 million attack points. With the lag, you just can't do instant towers behind a long treb build anymore. I roll 27500 abatis, FTW...
