    I had a conversation with someone about this already and I believe Pokey said it best when stated:

    You can't argue with that logic now can you!

    all i'm sayin is that if you want archers to be the meat shield...
    that's alittle backwards but ok... .just make the damned training time
    a little more manageable... my troops are HUNGRY while waiting for all my bases to
    concentrate on archer replinishment....

    though i guess fixing the battles system so it once again makes since would work too ;-)

    You expect that devs to fix something?

    That's the funniest thing I have EVER heard!

    I think that they start off regemented, but instead of being held up by the warriors, they act like ghosts and go through them! Thats would explain why they take a pummeling, and not the warriors...if you think it's ridiculous, i don't blaim ya!!!

    Thumbs down The gary busey method

    just got back from another battle... archers took 50% casualties...
    warriors apparently chillin on the bench...

    i'm just gonna start sending them in in waves... maybe then i can kill off a satisfying number of warriors...

    it's funny with a name like WARrior... you'd think they'd have some barrings in WAR... maybe i'm an idealist... or maybe the devs are on drugs


    either way i need another drink,
    atleast i don't have to concern myself with what to buy with the next $30 worth of game coins i'm NOT buying... but then again, the devs only listen to the sissified baby men who don't spend money on this anyways

    i admire your bussiness model, much the same way i admire Gary Bussey
    the two have a lot in common as well...
    both have been broken from the head down... and neither one can seem to make a buck anymore... good luck with that

    Lol, please show me a post in which the Devs have actually shown that they're listening.

    I believe the truth is they don't listen.
