Recruits are “helpful” in the same sense that a food shipment containing 5,000 food is “helpful;” it gives a boost, but isn’t even close to significant. They’re really only useful for supply carts and cannons, neither of which seem to be popular at these low ages. I’ll admit that getting three free, instant horses can be nice, but it’s not really on the same level as rubies or troop tactics. So I guess this makes the question: are videos designed to be unmissable, critical benefits, or are they selectively tempting, only worth watching when they have something you’re interested in? (That’s a rhetorical question.)
The gist of what I mean is this: I agree with those chastising the others for taking too much for granted. It’s a good thing that video rewards refresh daily, and the fact that we even got troop tactics in the quantities that we did is great. If you don’t like retrains, you don’t have very long to wait until there are new rewards. I’m going to keep watching the videos and taking whatever I get; I don’t even watch the videos, I just do something else. I’d understand if it took even five to ten minutes of constant effort to get the rewards, but you can literally press a button every thirty seconds whilst doing something else entirely. No reason to complain.
