No medals for me since patch. I attacked a level 9 desert, killed 3500 or so units and lost 90%+ of my force that i sent doing it and got no medal. I attacked a level 7 valley lost about 80% of my troops while killing about 1000 and got no medal. I also tried to use the scout farming method a few times (about 20 or so scouts and maybe 50 attacks) and got nothing.

Before the patch I farmed for 2 days (scouts taking 30 seconds or less to reach their destination), sometimes didn't get a medal but when i did about 80% of the time it was a Lion medal, took those 2 days and over 300 attacks (I stopped counting at 300 sometime though day 1) just to get 10 rose medals.

Now I need just 2 more wisdom medals for a promotion and I don't see myself getting any as I just lost about 1 week's worth of training in troops attempting 2 attacks to get a medal and got nothing.

My personal opinion would be that 100% is too high. 12% would be good if it was 12% regardless of how many troops are killed or how evenly matched the battle is.

IE: if you still want to scout farm, instead of a medal every attack, perhaps a 10-20% chance that you will receive a medal from an attack as a flat change modifier thing. Yes i know that doesn't stop medal farming, but it does make it harder to get medals but far from impossible as it seems to be now.

Before it was 100% regardless of what kind of fight. If you want to ease medal farming I think a better way to go about it would be to reduce the flat 100% rate as follows and make that percentage chance be the only determining factor. So have an algorithm that firstly decides if you get a medal, then if that returns true (you get a medal) call another algorithm that decides what medal.

Medal Farming with only scouts = 10%
Attacking with Overwhelming force (sending a total overkill army) = 40%
Fair battle (amount you sent is fairly matched to say within 10-20% of the strength of the defense) = 100%
Failed attacks with scouts only = 0%
Failed Attacks where you only just lost (killed at least 90% of defending troops but lost all of your own) = 50%

That way it promotes taking on fair battles over farming with scouts but doesn't mean to say you will never get a medal if all you want to do is farm with scouts 24/7.

Also what to make it easier on new people, perhaps adding an Item market, for people to sell their items for resources (sell medals, level 10 building scripts and such) and even allow people to sell their Game Coins for resources. I mean the items belong to the player (well not as actual property) but the player's game account owns them but most of the time they just sit there doing nothing because you either cant or don't wish to use the items and you cant sell them. Or sell items for gold which you can them use gold to buy resources or perhaps even certain items (like that 1 elusive medal that you just cant seem to get by attacking, surely someone has a spare one that they wanna sell).
