My daughter played DN for a few weeks and as expected quit because she's really a fps kinda girl. When she left, her base was in classical age. I pick up her tablet from time to time and have managed to get it to beginning medieval. I've been playing her game a lot the past couple days in order to get her account up to our alliance minimum. Then it suddenly dawned on me... This game is a lot more fun and less frustrating in early game (I know... Duh! Right? Lol). Aside from the unfortunate crashes it's actually thrilling to play the game and I can see how I got hooked in the first place. I just thought I'd take a trip down memory lane with the more seasoned peeps here and share my reasons why...
1. I don't get attacked within the first 5 min of my app closing or timing out. As a matter of fact, A couple times I went to bed and woke next morning to find the base untouched over night. All resources still there and traps set and ready to go.
2. When I open her account its kind of thrilling because I never know what I'm gonna find. Win? Loss? Close app? Untouched? Could be any of these and the defensive wins and losses are always for multiple medals ranging from 4 to twenty-something.
3. You heard me right in #2 I said defensive wins! Yes they do exist! There are still people out there who don't know about bailing when they are about to lose big and of course they are early age.
4. While it's kind of a pain that I don't have a tb, I don't really need one because a lot of the time my army comes back. This is something I haven't been able to master in my later game account and is a big source of frustration for me. Even when my army doesn't come back it only takes 13-15 minutes to train.
5. Speaking of time... Everything happens faster in early game. Hit a few bases, gather up rss, start upgrades and research, wait a few hours, upgrades done, research done, wash, rinse, repeat.
6. Attacking is easy! I never close app because I always win. And I usually win many medals each attack. I hardly skip any bases, I can find good ones right away and never, any1/-39 matches... EVER! There's no "no opponents found" reports, no insurmountable walls to destroy. No maxed out bases. Defensive armies are small and manageable. And it helps that I supply my little medieval army with nice big fat EA (soon to be IA) ally troops.
7. Walls are so cheap I can do several at a time. And the base is easy to rearrange since there aren't as many buildings to move around. And last but not least...
8. Three crowns for 4 bunnies? Yes please! The Old Man gives easier tasks and I'm winning crowns from achievements all the time.
So now I see why the early age people on forum think we are a bunch of whiners. They are having too much fun... They don't know that we want a little of that fun back too. Hopefully we will get it before our patience runs out.
