It was too obvious the French training blessing was going to get a big reduction in power. The biggest reason is that it took away more potential profit from the game developers. lets not forget that BHG is a small group of greedy pigs. These people are not your friends, they arent your good buddies. they are out to suck up every dime they can from as many people as possible. Take a look at their tactics from when the game first started. All they do is increase costs, increase build times, decrease effectiveness of troops. Without a training blessing it was something like $1-2 in crowns or two hours to train an army. With the blessing, you could do a full compliment in 2 minutes, including tanks and cannons. If you wanted instant rebuild we were talking very small change.
Yes, I want this game to succeed but, the developers are scum and Id tell them to their faces if I had half a chance. I know this post will upset some people but, I dont care. Im angry, older, and well educated. These people constantly try to sucker the players. I've never seen a bigger bunch of greedy screwups. Whine all you want but, if you continue to play, expect more of the same from BHG.
