i have said before and i will say it again, University is by far the most outrageous idea they implemented in this game.
not only it artificially created worker shortage, ridiculously long research time, it also created tons of confusion in game play since there is no external indicator how far your opponent is in research. You will only realize this watching game replay in disbelief that their defense swarm out and decimate your attack forces in seconds.
IMO this is the best thing to happen to Dominations. The game became interesting with this introduction.
Instead of using the same boring attack strategies you have to think a little about what you're doing and how you do it. And you have to be a little more 'hands on' during the battle.
Or you could just buy elephant archers like lazy rich people, your choice.
Also, I don't see the argument of ''new players can't catch up to older players''. Who says they have to? This mentality of ''
I have to have what he has, but now'' is pathetic.
Have you considered that it's not the end goal that's important but how you get there?
Not trying to be philosophical or anything like that but people should stop whining about making things easier and man up. Just do what needs to be done or quit.
PS: and before anyone says ''but you're CWA and you don't have a problem with it'' my alt is industrial and he's enjoying the ride. I know of others who have alts too and they're not complaining, just playing.
PPS: I would be in favour of a 2nd slot for the same leader as it benefits everyone.
