nice way to incentivize staying in higher leagues

 

[Quali]

So is the time tie breaker coming back?

 

[Quovatis]

I hope not. Until they fix the pay to win issues, adding a time tiebreaker only benefits pay-to-win alliances. If pay to win elements were removed, then yes, it would be a reasonable tiebreaker to determine skill.

TS, please let your people know that many of us are crashing when trying to edit bases. Thx

 

[Krieg]

I think you are in the right direction, but I'm afraid you didn't solve the biggest problem to players in higher leagues: the NTGs. If you are in Dynasty for example, You probably has high developed coas and need a ton of NTGs to buy them every war. Is,up to 54 coas per war, each 2 days. Is very hard to get them when you only face lvl 200+ bases. The only solution I can think is include NTGs in League's battle bonuses. The higher the league, more NTGs you would receive.

 

[Quagmire]

It would be useful to be able to buy NTGs with Gold. Once you commit most of your workers to 10-day upgrades, there's no reason to play for next week & a half except to upgrade walls. Until a new Leader is introduced, even the University now takes a week to upgrade a level.

TinSoldier When are you bringing WW replays back?

 

[Vixen]

nice update
my two questions which have been asked above
- when is battle timer coming back - I love it
- when are ww replays coming back - loved them too

" Research 4 new techs: War Reparations, Sentries, Mobile Forces, and Rotorcraft "

what is about?

 

[Butcherer]

wait and see ...

 

[Justevictor]

Does we have a state of the nation soon ?

 

[LordJestix]

i doubt the NTG bonus is going to be high enough to justify a harder loot grind. Im going to guess most that stay lower levels for easier raiding wont be going to higher leagues because the loot upgrades wont really matter.

Edit: Also unless the loot improvements are extremely buffed, ill still always be taking diamonds in my boat and chest. (its hard to beat unraidable resources like oil shipments) EndEdit

It is nice to see them trying to make it better though.

I am very curious to see how they implemented this chest system.

 

[TinSoldier]

We are nearly there! World War replays will have another beta period before the next update.

A breakdown of Library techs is being discussed here:

[TinSoldier]

Some of these things will return after all players have moved to the new updated version of the game.

 

[Dr_ICU_D3AD]

I am looking forward for war replays to return... its a very important feature to learn from enemy attacks and make necessary adjustments to war bases...

 

[FroggyKilla]

Nice, easier access to NTG's!

 

[LordJestix]

Nice, easier access to NTG's!

id bet we will still have an issue trying to gain enough ntg for a war every two days. A much easier fix would have been to make them like diamonds, 1 guaranteed for every 5 star victory.

• Improved rewards for watching videos

I get the same 3 crowns per video. What improvement was there supposed to be?
