    I won one of those on my first amulet spin Had to wait a long time before I could afford the upkeep, so there is a balance issue in using it.

    They are all balanced.

    One of the things I love to see come up is the 8 text speech. There is nothing any better than knowing you have 8 ways of saying, your 30 waves of zombie war is null and void.

    I'd still love to see a Defence pack. 2000 Archer towers, 500 Defensive Trebuchet, 5000 Traps, 200 Abatis, 1000 rolling logs.

    That would make my noob week.

    I see so many Mech Battalions go to waste because the person (oddly enough, usually a newbie) that wins them has no idea what is about to happen when they open it.

    Luck does smile on the wicked once in a while. I just won the mechanics battalion. Fortunatley, I have 3 cities, working on the fourth in an isolated location. My plan is to deploy the battalion in the new city, once food production is maximized. Should be interesting for the neighbors.

    I actually recieved one on my second day. It took me another month before I could support it. I was being attacked by a slightly greater force and 10 seconds before the attack I released the Mechanics Battalion. I lost 3 archers and 5 swordsmen.


    you have to be smart. It takes a LOT of food to support 250 of each.

    It is a very powerful tool. With it you can farm midlevel barbarian towns (L3-L5). With some work they do pay for themselves. Just make sure you have the proper research to hit one of those barbs with zero losses.

    Anyone who complains about this gift is just jealous.

    well this thread seems to have been necroed repeatedly, but the OP stating 7 days of constant production for this, which is what a couple hundred each of transports, ballista, rams, and catapaults? Maybe from one single barracks. Except for the catapaults requiring a lv10 barracks the rest could be produced in a couple of hours by anyone with a few lv9 barracks in one city.

    Edit - maybe not quite a couple hours but certainly not a week

    I complained when i got it... didn't think about the upkeep on it... went from 30K to -75K food prod. Ended up dismissing them and got a smeg load of resources back for it...

    used the resources for more archers
