Anybody updated to 2.5 yet?

[Gambrinus]

they need to get the update our for android. since the released it for ios, there are all sorts of issues with not finding an opponent and when you find them and attack, the game crashes because they have the update and i don't.

No opponent situation is soooo much better. I went up 150 medals yesterday to 3260. Dropped some overnight and now omw to 3300. Id rather wait 7 mins for army retrain while watching tv. And be able to fight as soon as army is done. Than click next opponent button for 30 mins of focused clicking to get 1 opponent. The game is playable again at high medal range(3300+ probably gets ugly again)

When i was in medieval age 10mins to train army was normal. And in most games its at least 30 mins to train an amry. Anyone complaining about 10 minutes needs to get some perspective.

The best u can do is start a different game. And for first week ull have faster build train times. Then ull be at worse than now. And if u enjoy being a bottom player jumping from game to game.

No ones forcing u to play 60minutes. U can stop at 30 mins. Its same cider cost. And people 5 star at upper medal ranges a lot more so diamonds not a problem. The tb 60 minutes is a buff so leave it up to the player base to complain about that one.

Factory is usable again

Air units got a massive buff

We got awesome library research. A really awesome looking general

French were brought down to earth. U guys seriously believe 50 sec army training and a one nation game is healthy for the game? This will bring doversity...maybe

The only problem im seeing is ai pathing is having issues again attacking walls when open spot little further down. And walliners + raiders dont always target same wall peice so i can no longer deploy them together when it was appropriate before. Now im forced to deploy miners first every time. (Sometimes was useful to send in together)

Frankly the raider nerf is excellent. It was so frustrating to get attacked countless time without a peace treaty on return.

 

[pH6170]

It is a little worse imo

 

[Parmenion]

It's not just raiders that do it by the looks of it. I've seen other units do it too and it's frustrating that they don't always use the opening if there is one. Instead they have a tendency to target the closest piece of wall so it's best to think about placement.

 

[pH6170]

I see the new features

 

[pH6170]

They took away the french 20% faster training time all together. The French are now the worst nation imo

 

[pH6170]

Their build time is the exact same as other nations now. Am I wrong?

Well so far the update is ok. There are things I'm pleased with, things I'm relieved about and things I'm not too happy about. I REALLY like that you can preview a bases castle and see if there's a general activated and if so what level. Although I'm not sure if you can see both if 2 are activated. I've only come across one so far and I was so excited to find tc outside the wall I forgot about the castle lol. I really like that factory falls under the tb now. I like using ggs so this is a real enhancement for me. I'm relieved that they slowed down my French train times in TB because the TB was too fast for me before. I felt I had to attack as soon as training was done which only gave me about a minute to breathe between attacks. We called it "crack mode" in our alliance. Now it's more like "highly caffeinated beverage mode" and since it's an hour I don't feel as rushed and don't make as many mistakes. So overall I'm pleased with the new TB. What I really don't like is they seemed to have changed the raider AI to mean "artificial idiocy" instead of intelligence. If you didn't think it could be any more stupid than it was you are wrong. And they can't break through walls as easy as they used to.

 

[Malgrin]

Actually, not true. I just tested this out with an alliance member who has updated, and our training times DID get a lot worse, but we're still way better off than any other nation. For a healer, it should take 15 minutes. If you are a non-french player, it will take just over 5 minutes with TB. If you are french, and you start one without TB, it will take 12 minutes (20% faster). Then, if you use your TB, it will now take about 2 minutes, 5 seconds, which is 14% of 15 minutes, indicating we are still getting 66% + 20% = 86% faster training.
So, going from French + TB to non-French + TB, you are looking at an increase of 240% in training time. I'd say that's still absurdly good, you?

 

[GailWho]

Oh and the rally seemed to have a problem too. Not all my troops on the ground rallied to reformation and get health from the wagon when I tapped it. My heavies just kept getting pummeled by the defenders but the others rallied. That's never happened to me before.

 

[JuDomines]

Hey Dbuk I saw you already get your air defense upgraded. I suppose you spent some crowns on this. I haven't focused on air defense so far. Is It recommended to rush this building?

 

[Ravenlord]

Yeah that's been happening for a while now - especially the Generals!!! Forget about them leading troops in battle if they can't distinguish between broken and unbroken walls!!

 

[Ravenlord]

Thanks for the voice of reason dbuk. I commented a few weeks back that even with the reduced training the French are still worthwhile and also mentioned that the extended training time with higher cost was still a good deal. However I got blasted for my comments but I suspect you will garner some "he's right you know' nods of respect! he he

It is good to hear that the player availability has improved at the higher medal ranges - makes me less reluctant to climb now. Plus with the improvements to the factory and air units ..... sounds good so far.

 

[Ravenlord]

Gail, maybe your heavies were blocked by the sheer number of defenders. I've noticed - at times - troops get 'blocked' by defenders (especially if trying to get through a broken wall) and simply don't move on. They don't attack the defenders either, just don't move on - like they're waiting for them to go away or make some room!

 

[Texan]

Have just recently and now game will not load and the OS app posted review response from players seems many if not all on OS systems can't load or play game anymore right now. This is worse update release to date seen many after playing over 5 months.

 

[TheOneLeggedOne]

Animal blessing time has gone back up to 15mins, but now costs 2 diamonds and 3 metal,
There seems to have been a "Mass Extinction" in the Bear population...
The statue for the Animal blessing is still a representation of a (White-Hart Stag) which is Blatantly False advertising, as this is the only thing you will NEVER see whilst hunting under an Animal blessing...
So Vroom, Vroom,Vroom-Luv,Luv,Luv the update guys, you are the Bestest developers of all time...

 

[Texan]

Lease your able to play most all on OS aren't able to load game anymore and have no way of playing game anymore after updating game from Oct. 19th update.

 

[GroteKoning]

Retrain glitch even worse than before, stuck troops and missing troops at retrain.

 

[GroteKoning]

Huge delay on updating medal count after victory
