As some have guessed, the strength of the Troop Tactics scale as you move up in Medal ranking.
The rewards for being in the Silver I League seemed to match up for currently being in Enlightenment Age.

I agree. The choices have gotten worse. If they wanted to add these other options for the dock and daily chest, then they should have just increased the options to 5 and then included the recruits and blessings (then they could observe how few actually picked these).
As for the actual card armies from the daily dock bonus, I am wondering if the level of the army is dependent on the dock. Is someone able to confirm or refute this? It was just a hypothesis I had.
The ads... when I got a raider recruit from watching an ad, I almost choked. Seriously? It was a smack in the face. I just made nexon money and they gave me something that I will NEVER EVER find useful. Recruits are the age that you have upgraded them to, so pretty sure a medieval raider does jack squat.
I didn't mind the trade good shipments or merc contracts or card armies from ads, but I would prefer 3 crowns over much of the junk I am getting now.
The only way a recruit would be good is if it was an Elephant Archer recruit or some valuable troop that you couldn't train in your barracks.
I do believe the reason is that the devs don't play the game like we do so they don't really know what players value. I hope they listen to feedback though and make adjustments.

For those of us in atomic age, that means they are much less valuable than the resources we could have gotten before. Being able to get a single tank destroyer mercenary with the diamonds or cider I could have gotten from the dock before, is far more valuable. Replace that with a blessing I won't use and two cards 4 ages below mine is a complete waste. And the old baseline options - not super great, but decent - have suddenly been drowned out by a flood of worthless things to choose from.
Even (especially?) people in the top leagues depend on having those diamonds available. And the oil / food / gold option in those leagues is almost without fail better than 1 troop card.
It isn't that we are complaining because we expect better cards at lower leagues; its because the non card options are SO much better than the crappy card options, and that was the default until yesterday. I don't want better cards at lower leagues - as an atomic player, I never want to be presented with cards that are below global age, so give me no cards if it will be worse than that. And make sure the old choices are still available every time.
Oh, and fix the ad rewards so they are primarily crowns with the chance of a larger crown payout again. I never want to see a troop recruit as a reward for anything again ever.

yemen They are making these changes to make people actually want to have a high medal count. There are too many atomic age bases that just hover around 800 medals so they can raid easy bases for lots of loot. By making these troop cards very weak at low medal counts, it makes people actually want to raise your medals.
I am at hovering around 2500 medals and I can say for certain we are not dependent on the diamonds available. I never take diamonds because I get more than enough from my multiplayer battles alone. In the last 2 days since the update I have gotten the option of 16250 oil twice for a total of 32500 oil in a 2 day span. This reward used to be 13000 oil per chest before so they did improve the resource rewards in the update, which were already amazing to begin with. The troop card options I have got I believe were global age level but don't quote me on that so they are far from useless if you are actually at a high medal count and need them for world wars.
Last week I got 13000 oil 5 out of 7 days for a total 65000 oil in a week, and the other 2 days I got 3.25 million food and gold. Definitely worth keeping your medals high and you will reap the rewards if you stop pretending to be weaker than you are by purposefully lowering your medals.

nucleo I am a 158 Atomic, so hanging around 800-1200 isn't really pretending to be weaker than I am. But even if I were stronger the point stands - improve incentives by making the rewards BETTER at high leagues, not by making them WORSE at low leagues.
The diamond shortage I mentioned is felt a lot more by my teammate in dynasty. 4-5 star wins were rare - now it is none with the missile silo. The ones in mid empire are experiencing the same thing, and only one has stayed there - the others have now medal dropped rather than deal with every opponent having a silo.

i got 3 useless recruit options for my league boat. I want trade goods or diamonds, i dont want recruiting troop options. what a waste of a boat.
Just want to join in with the negative comments. None of the changes to rewards are usefull. Troop recruits, really? Why even have them in game!? If you want me to speed up things, tjen give me more crowns.
If BHG wants people to go for higher medal count they should just scale the old rewards faster instead of givong lowet medal count plain junk.

All these people complaining are people who have purposefully tanked their medals to Silver league in order to exploit the medal system and now they are crying because they are stuck in Silver and there are more incentives to be in higher leagues now. I am at 2500 medals and all the troop tactics offered to me are global age level. Far from useless. People will just have to adjust their medal count strategies because exploiting the system isn't working out for them anymore.
