    Same here. Sounds like more of a curse than a blessing for most in the early stages.

    Only if you do not do anything to protect yourself under newbie protection. At the very least you should have a couple hundred thousand warriors if you do not have any archers. 10K archers and level six or seven walls is far from impossible in the first week.

    People come out of newbie protection with ballista. If people can come out of newbie protection with enough ballista to farm NPC cities, then with the wall buff a mech batt is nothing but a bit of free honor. Particularly given the amount of warning you will get if anyone sends cats and rams a few miles without level 9 HB.

    It is improbable that carebears who think building stone and iron production in the first week, and that think five barracks is more then enough, will successfully defend against a mech batt, but not impossible. Anyone who knows how to play the game however will only laugh at the free honor, and the folly of wasting a perfectly serviceable mech bat on PvP when you can use it to farm NPCs without losses for a much greater reward.

    Just started on sever 26, and already have around 25 barracks. Once iron prices drop I can switch from mass producing warriors to mass producing archers. Will be happy to show the kind of force a newbie can bring to a fight in four days or so if you feel the need to persist.

    But anyone with a working knowledge of Evony will use those mech batts to farm and build a huge archer army to attack rather then sending in the siege. Mech batts are a huge advantage, smaller then other things you can gain from the wheel in the first week, but still huge. They are however not a sizable offensive advantage. They are a huge support advantage.

    Is this the corner where we can complain about Kempion?

    Finally! A post by Kempion I can understand and appreciate.

    Wildor, you rock... for an old man.

    Valin, take the money and run.

    Kassikas, if you want any kind of balance in your cities, research has to be spread out as evennly as possible. While I agree it is possible to have balliastae coming out of BP, those ballistae are built by players. More power to them.

    The mech batts are hardcore. Catapults? Level 10 workshop + level 10 barracks + level 10 academy + level 10 archery... coming out of BP? Not possible. Well, maybe possible for you are willing to spend that kind of money.

    Anyone who wants balance in their cities has a fundamental lack of what it takes to succeed in early server play. Someone who wants to dominate early PvP, without npc farming, shouldn't bother leveling anything other then archery, compass, and the wood harvesting tech over level four or five. Throw in some mil science, metal casting and construction when research times get too long, and you are fine.

    Have all resource slots set to sawmills save 3, have no more then nine cottages, six would be ideal, and do not bother building barracks over level 4 and no one has anything to fear from a mech bat.

    Also, no one said you could make catapults in BP, and there is no reason to. With high enough walls ballista outrange cats. Catapults are nothing but an end game affectation players indulge in when they have nothing left to do.

    400 cats, rams, and ballista can not turn the tide of battle. That force is nothing next to the wall buff.

    Newbie protection is all about building up sufficient military might to survive the short PvP rush five to seven days into the server's creation. That is the only reason it exists. The quests even tell you this. Those who ignore that fact are going to get slaughtered with or without mech bats on the wheel.

    Those who acknowledge that fact really have nothing to worry about post wall patch. So long as they do not get greedy and slaughter their army on another city's defenses, they have nothing to worry about unless someone gets ten mech batts.

    The idea that mech batts are impossible to defend against is just silly.

    My complaint? My complaint is that I started out on server 26, and this guy with 3 level 9 cities around me is just about ready to eat my city after the beginners protection. I already wasted my teleport on someone worse....

    do u even lift 1v1 il rek u

    Having recently started on World 16 (I think it started last Friday) I can tell you that if you know what you are doing you can easily defend against a mech battalion by the time BP runs out.

    Think I'll start one of my own...Call it " WILDOR'S WAILING WALL".

    I agree the mech. batt. gives a huge advantage. I keep wanting to get one.
    Aren't they also a lot more costly to maintain? By which I mean, don't they gobble food like crazy?
    And if so, only the advanced player can maintain one anyway.
    Exactly. It's good if you get it around the end of week 1 or 2 (when the advanced players have been building ballistas for almost a week) cause then you can feed them. Of course, catapults die due to the "dead zone" so it really isn't useful at all.
