    what are higher level medals?

    http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=1854

    basicly asking about the locations..

    I guess once the patch goes out there will be a new 'guide' where to get certain medals etc..

    Im not sure what the higher level medals are, I guess the 'higher' level medals will be the medals that are required towards the end, Not the early stages.

    Ill try and find out...

    Nice work Gazza
    just one thing, is it going to be way easy to get low lvl medals again? or still tuff?
    20% of 0% is what actually?
    looking forward to being able to have a third city and not be kept a small fish in these ponds

    Can you find out about Michelangelo script drop rate as well?

    While waiting for prestige to get higher I am running out of stuff to build.

    Default Drop rate should still be higher

    If medal drops are still going to give you a random medal, then I think 100% is reasonable. We still have 9 medals to sort through so you still have to attack at least 9 times to get the medal you want (at 100% drop rate). Lowering it to 50%-90% with additional restrictions sounds like I'll have to attack 18 times to get a medal I need.

    I believe the issue prompting change in the first place was medal farming. Let us get at the root of the issue. What mechanism has been implemented to prevent this?

    Dang you dont get it do you, medals were farmed because the drop rate was 100%

    From our guild we have received 3 medals total since the drop rate was reduced. We estimated guild wide (and our two sister guilds) the drop rate is around 1 in 30,000 to 1 in 40,000. 20% is far from true.

    someone just told me you only get medals if you attack player controlled valleys, is that true?

    No, medal farming was exploited because it was 100% even if the valley was empty. Giving a 100% chance for a one of 9 random medals to drop from a full or almost full level 8, 9, or 10 valley that takes a full hour to regenerate is perfectly reasonable. In fact, when you consider how many of these valleys are going to be owned by neighbors, or attacked by them as well, and therefore not going to have the default troops in them, it actually leans more towards unreasonable to lower the drop rate further. It's starting to get downright crowded in my neck of the woods.

    Thank you for trying to help get us info Gazza, but honestly, as others have noticed, there is definitely not a 20% drop rate now. Can you confirm that is what rate the developers think that the medals should be dropping now please?

    Thanks.

    I cant answer that, Thats what the dev told me this morning, I will find out when he is online if he made some sort of typo or something.

    Expect the new patch within 7 or so days anyway,
