    Angry Army sizes

    I have read in these forums many complaints about army sizes. From the people who have minimal armies to the people who have large armies, even Evony mods and reps get in the mix with their "pearls" of wisdom. Now they are even talking about some kind of tiered system for troop sustaining where it will cost more resources than it already does now!!

    I have a few observations and thoughts concerning this.

    first. if Evony did not mean for people to have large armies then why is it permitted to have a level 10 rally spot with a level 10 feasting hall housing 10 heroes capable of launching an army of 1 Million troops per city!
    If you have a war ensign, you can boost that number to 1.25 million per city.

    My thoughts on this is that your city should be able to support that kind of army if every resource block is a level 10 farm..and then scale it back from there.

    Second, evony needs to balance out the combat system so that defenders are not invincible in fully defended fortresses. when you can only send out 100k at a time someone with level 9 walls fully integrated with defenses and just a mediocre to small army will win hands down any time, and to try and defeat them through attrition requires an army that is unattainable with the food resources that are available without some kind of farming.

    This is an empire building/war game. The whole point of the game is to build up, like you are in an arms race, then when you get big enough to ensure some kind of victory, you attack.

    The way I see it right now, it seems as though evony wants us with our little 10k-20k armies, diversified of course...not 1 kind of power unit, trapped in our own little towns so that we don't step on the toes of some newbie and make them feel bad about themselves and quit the game. This is another example of how instead of trying to bring the little guy up so that they can compete, we are gonna bring the big, bad power players down...so everyone can live in harmony.

    I don't believe that anything said in these forums is heard, or worse listened to, by anyone who is developing this games. Most of the mods from what I have seen have been kinda patronizing, like we are not smart enough to understand what should be going on. And to top it off it seems as though the reps gives us some kind of company line propaganda as opposed to real changes in the system to make it better.

    Instead, I would not be surprised if they all get together and have a huge laugh out our expense. Which is sad. This could be a great game, If they would really address the issues here of troop sustaining, combat, and some of the basic game issues like lagging and crashing. Instead of doing that, they nerf each of the things the players find to support their armies, to get promoted and they build many servers.

    Mayber they should learn the axiom "quantity is not better than quality"

    You said it better than I have, and you used fewer words.

    I agree 100%... and not just because we're alliance mates...
