Available: Update Notes for 2.5.x (iOS and Android)

Ha yes.... the next nerf, I forgot about it... I'll promise you... and note my comment... the extra 50% time on blessing from the library, will be the next nerf.... to fool you all...


animal/gethering blessings ???
nobody, cause from gunpowder up, the workers are always busy

beyond medieval (almost) nobody buys gathering blessing or animal blessing, beside the iron ages maybe cause then you got workers picking their noses every 15 minutes

 

[atramar]

you are welcome for the clarification

 

[Magnifico]

@acied: It's not true that nobody leaves workers free after the Gunpowder Age. After you get the Training Blessing in the Enlightenment Age, it makes sense to leave two workers idle to gather cider from fruit trees to keep it running. Not that you'll get much hunting done with two workers when the only animals around are bears, boars, and stags who keep the smaller animals you could actually hunt from spawning. Still, it's true that it doesn't make sense to run the Animal Blessing with only two free workers.

Quick question, do we have some high lights of AI improvements please? My personal biggest interest is in:
Healers being oblivious to being attacked not healing each other and stuck on pile of grass leaving whole army to die, Bombards ignoring towers shooting at them, and soldiers target choice.

Cheers.

Don't get me wrong, I will still test em out the moment update hits the fan, but would be nice to have some vision of future, plus, after tests we won't be reporting something not working when it is working as intended (just not the way we would want), and will be able to give more useful input if something is in fact not working as intended.

 

[acied]

I didnt say nobody leaves workers free, I've also got 2 workers free as much as possible to hunt and get the precious cider, but I notice that I never use any of the animal or gathering blessings anymore.

So all these nerfs they do, and cost increasing they make, all have a negative effect on the starting players, I would quit if I was now in classical or medieval.

In the long term it means, we will see less people advance to gunpowder or higher, so with a lot of players signing off because of the real issues which nexon does not repair, no opponent issue will become more and more inevitable.

I'm currently at 2300 medals in EA and already starting to get no opponents...

Thats sick,.... no thats is starting to smell like the beginning of the end of this game

 

[Nathan Win]

Yes AI improvements should be on the next patch. They get even worse after you rally them to the wrong spot.

 

[atramar]

therefore is my question, what can we expect under sentence 'ai improvements'. I did read their notes, only had a question on details of that statement.

 

[Malgrin]

And...Raiders just got useless, unless you're French. For non-Frenchies, 120 Troop Space, full raiders took 85s * .23 * 40 / 60 = 13 minutes to build. This means that with 1 TB, you could build roughly 2 comps. Now, we are looking at 150s * .34 * 40 / 60 = 34 minutes, so you get less than 2 army builds per TB. Without TB, you now have 100 minutes to train full raiders.

For France, you're now looking at 150s * .14 * 40 / 60 = 14 minutes for a full build of Raiders, and with the increased blessing time you're now looking at 4 comps per hour.

I think the message from BHG is clear, you shouldn't be able to efficiently raid in this game. It should be painful and slow. I wouldn't have as big of a problem with this, if not for the part where it's impossible to store resources, because many players will clear out your resources without getting 50% or your TC (at least, for those of us with less than 1500 Medals), which means you will see multiple raids during those 14 minutes of downtime, unless you stare at your phone for an hour straight.

I guess that means I need to farm as much as possible, and climb the ladder as much as possible before the new patch comes in...

 

[DestroyerArcher]

Fusiliers keep their dps...only difference is level 5 infantry for romans have lower dps, caesars legions and above keep their dps, is how it seems to be.

 

[atramar]

if you are running only one barrack, then yes, 100 minutes per 40 riders is correct, but:
1. you have 3 barracks, which means it's 34 minutes
2.if you use raiders only, then.. well. there problem lays in a different place and I'm afraid I can't help you.

40 raiders is:
34 minutes no blessing (after patch)
under 12 minutes with TB (after patch)
used to be under 6min 30 sec TB (well, I mean now)
5 minutes if you are french after patch
35 seconds if are french now (before patch).

 

[Mizzo]

Is this a joke? Everyone has been waiting for the gotdamn Nation Balance you guys went on about and yet nothing there is nothing about it for the next update that is coming soon?. Pfffffttt i hope this game will keep getting demolished.

 

[JuDomines]

I'm very happy they finally nerf those raiders. And pretty soon i'll predict the french nation Boeing abandonned in favor of britain

 

[Cannibals]

This means that if you are French with Training Blessing:

All your units will take twice as long to train.
Raiders will take 3.5 times as long to train.
You will train twice as fast as everyone else.

And if you are not French with Training Blessing:

All your units will take 33% longer to train.
Raiders will take 2.4 times as long to train.
You will train at half the rate of French.

 

[Tower]

English is not my first language, but I feel I have a reasonable good grip on it... But now I'm starting to fear that I have misunderstood something with respect to the word "soon".. Anyone kind enough to explain it to me?

 

[atramar]

Soon (tm) - anywhere between now and Xmas

;-)

 

[Jwinn]

I honestly can say, that I think this is a step in the right direction finally.

When is this update gonna hit the market?

 

[Cannibals]

The

Maybe I missed it, but where does it say, training blessing duration will be 60 minutes ?

I read 40 minutes...

So, its an extra diamond for 10 minutes longer, which are lost because they nerfed the damn thing...


same with animal blessing which is now 7.5, it is going to be 10 minutes, whoooo stop the press ! 2.5 minutes extra hunting time, while all workers are busy, for an extra diamond.......


By far the worst possible update ever........

There is library research that adds 50% to timed blessings. If you have it then 40 minutes becomes 60 minutes.

 

[Gambrinus]

diamonds aren't rare, at all, I've always got a storehouse full of them. so many in fact that i use them to buy oil shipments i don't need or i just let them pile up at max.

if you aren't getting enough diamonds, i recommend that you change your attack strategy and try to 5 star a base every now and then.

 

[Tower]

There must be a serious problem with this new update since it takes forever to launch... I am looking forward to it so hopefully it comes soon....

 

[acied]

Yes there is a serious problem.... If they launch it, the game will be so broken, a lot of players will move on and find a better game to play with a fair competition.
