I'm typing on KawDevice so forgive me for not doing quotes or writing exactly how people have stayed their opinions... I look at each update as they come. Some I like, some I don't. The reset bonuses I didn't like and expressed my opinion. As it happens I actually don't mind the change to them no longer being available (no, I don't have them all so it DOES affect me). The war tournament idea and the enchantment ideas are ADDITIONS to the game. They take absolutely nothing away from the game as it is now. The top 200 clans is a very broad spectrum. Many of those clans have players with less than 100k cs in them so ANYBODY can expect the chance to participate. It is not elitist at all. The only problem is a clan FULL of players that size, but what would you expect to achieve in a game-wide tournament anyway? Would that clan really be able to beat a trident clan? Being that it is so large and so many clans are involved I would assume (I know I shouldn't) that the opportunities to have "relative" success will be there for all participants. I hardly think the devs would put the #1 clan against a clan half full of new players. They do, after all, aim to keep people playing! The enchantments are another addition. They are to EXTEND the gameplay of the game. A new player now has a lot more areas to improve their kingdom than when I started. It's all about variety and longevity. Without wanting to pull IGCB as an individual (but your post summed up many people's feelings)... The gap between big players and small players is not necessarily going to grow. It took me 4 months to bc when I first started, before highlands. It took me nearly a year to bc this time with highlands. It is supposed to take time, but it doesn't have to. For someone like you, IGCB, who has been playing as long as you have, you can have no argument on the gap between build strength. You know as well as I do that you could have been up near the lb... IF YOU WANTED TO BE. You chose your path. It is a respectable path but it removes your right to question other people's superior strength. ATA have tried to constantly evolve the game and add extra strings to increase it's longevity. One of the beauties of this game is that you can play it how you want. You don't have to eb and grow, you can farm and cause mayhem. It's all your own choice. It is the players who have found loopholes such as pw, players who have tested build mechanics to find the most resilient build types and cause turtle wars. There is a limit to what changes can be made to counter these areas of natural evolvement without creating a whole new environment. Rant over. Tl;dr? The new updates don't force you to play different so what's your problem?
I like the war tourney and this enchantment setup. I don't always like the devs updates or decisions. But at least these are ones that will not hurt you ( drop volleys, no more reset bonuses, and so on) this is something you can do even as a smaller player.
Castle Lv three... Will that have a castle code? Will it give extra stats? If it doesnt have a castle code what will it cost? Will it be nobility? Gold? Mithril? Xtals? (probably not but it is possible) yeah... Could you answer these questions?
I was at Immortal Taka for 10-days doing Back 2 Back Figure of Death to get the Sword, took me 28 FoDs before getting it. So, be persistent. At least you'll get your item.
Yes Peeka, FB or Mochi... You'll notice that there is still one more space available to add in another 25, 50 or 100 lands. Lol
Nope you need to read the threads in strategy how to get your SWORD. You need a minimum of 227 successful hits. There about. You need to show you're active. Just unload every half hour or full hour. You need to get some of the items in Stage 1 or Stage 2 or both stages. But you need to get items. You're assured a Sword.
Could be Peeka, but in FB it's the place where you choose LowLands or HighLands, there's one more extra space.
