Things look brighter..

Call me crazy but the customer service seems to be responding with actual relevant information instead of copied update notes and DominationVigiles has quite proved himself in the last few hours. Also the forum has suddenly exploded with accounts with random names and no profile pictures asking nooby questions (a good thing?) HOWEVER this isn't to say the hundreds of bugs and hackers etc are gone but for the near future it looks like they're trying to aim up (for example delaying industrial until they solve the bugs and hackers etc)

Thanks for noticing There's a lot of work that goes on in the background before you can see results, and we're pressing onward!

For me new oil units and training blessing made things brighter. Once you battle as they planned it to, You even stop noticing AI bugs and defense/attack balance looks fine as well and even loot speed too. It was still too much in favour of defense in GP, imo and old AI kinda gave me more tactical freedom, but battling is just fine in EA. Also, the last days I was attacked by more or less legit players what is nice and I received promptly feedback too on 3 generals issue. If they clean old cheaters, you know, we could even get back to the endless topic of nations balance again )))

Too bad majority of the player, being out of reach of Enlightenment Age + oil boom troops, are still suffering from AI issues.

Yes, it looks like they play tested well only late EA balance forgetting earlier ages. Once you win, small AI bugs do not affect you that much. So now I understand both groups of players who said that it's wrong or just fine. Those probably were EA. I suggest not to wait and jump to EA asap, upgrade temple to max, build factory and enjoy faster looting speed. As I posted earlier it's possible to loot over 1m gold and 2m resources in total in 30 mins. All army even with healer, etc comes back in like 7 mins. Totally different gameplay.
