Stronghold: Introduction!

[Mebbwebb]

"But the idea of PAYING real money to boost it is absolutely disgusting."

Their are plenty of ways to get troop cards without money.

 

[Quovatis]

Really? How? You can get a few from expeditions and events, but that's not nearly enough to sustain using 1-3 of them each war. Expeditions take 5 freakin days for one troop and tying up 5 workers. It's ridiculous.

 

[Quovatis]

Cut expedition time and worker requirements by 80% and it might be ok. And yeah, even better if the worker requirement was gone entirely for the dock. It's useless past level 5.

 

[sulbin]

What we want is not to win the victory with money.
World war Quality Improvement and Event troops should be eliminated by limiting the draw in the World War.
If you want to earn money, make sure you make a good quality content.
What you need to do right now is for bugs and server improvements and support for new users.

 

[Tenacious D]

Defensive coalitions were a positive addition to the game. Anything we can do to make bases harder is a good thing.

 

[Manifesto]

Sending workers on expeditions makes sense, like emissaries. Using workers for Uni research is the one that doesn't make sense!

 

[Manifesto]

Agree Tenacious D , except Nexon has gone too far. People complained the p2w attacks in WW was unbalanced and now Nexon has limited the attacking options and seriously increased the defensive capabilities. The ability to win in WW just got nerfed big time.

 

[Manifesto]

Nb4powerup - will the stronghold only work in WW? Or will it also defend - and can it spawn troops - in normal pvp matches?

 

[Quovatis]

I would like it if sending a general could substitute for the workers. 5 works for 4 days for 2 diamonds and 2 trade goods is ridiculous. Nobody in their right mind would do that.

 

[Angel forever]

My answer to that would be only war will it spawn defending troops because it says a button where u can add to the strongholds but I think that's only part of your answer

 

[JuDomines]

Can we have more details about the timeline please?

 

[Mebbwebb]

They said very soon last week so I am assuming sometime this week now.

 

[Nb4powerup]

You would be correct in this. Its easy for some to forget that there is a WORLD of players with very differing opinions on features and gameplay.

 

[Nb4powerup]

It will function the same in both.

 

[S_How]

Can we have more details about the timeline please?

This is already the longest amount of time they've ever had between updates, I'd guess it has to be this week.

 

[JuDomines]

They even say crazy soon. I have to admit I'm lost in translation ^^

 

[Manifesto]

Thanks Nb4powerup - I think that'll make it a good all round inclusion, definitely worth getting.

 

[S_How]

Another stronghold related question. I see a lot of the troops available for purchase are now 'recruits' where they are just added to your current barracks when used. Today, there is a 12 recruit pack for sale, with about 500 total troop capacity once used(if you use them all, they're about 40-50 capacity each) in your inventory. Will these also be limited by the stronghold? Or does stronghold only manage the troop tactics that we get for free from events?

 

[JuDomines]

In state of the nation, they explicitly said : Whether you acquire Troop Tactics through Sales, Events, or Expeditions, the Stronghold will provide you the opportunity to decide whether you want to use those Troop Tactics offensively or defensively.

 

[S_How]

I believe, but could be wrong, that there is a difference between troop tactics and troop recruits. Troop tactics can be added to the troop bar and deployed like a tactic (only used if you deploy them)....troop recruits put the troop straight in your barrack (if I read the descriptions correctly). I could be wrong.
