Why screw your players with a reduced upgrade in week 2 when every other age gets 2 weeks at full discount?

 

[LordStark263AC]

I'm finally going up to CWA, the way I see it, it's perfect for me. 3-4 months of upgrading all of necessary troops and buildings and then, BOOM!!!! Space Age!!

 

[oddin]

going from global to cwa straight away, I can say now, that someone needs approx 6 months to upgrade most of the useful barracks troops and half of factory troops to cwa level.

 

[KnattyNate]

I agree. Us CWA players are getting screwed by the 25% reduction in the second week. We are the ones who need the discounts the most.

 

[KnattyNate]

Why isn’t Heavy Tank Mk7, Heavy RPGs, APC Mk4, and MRL Mk2 on the list of discounted troops? There’s probably more that I missed but these are the important ones due to the rebalance.

 

[oddin]

yes we need an answer pls TinSoldier

 

[Arminius]

An educated guess: Tin copied the list form years event ...
Did these already exist at that time?

I agree that it would be great to know about these missing units.

 

[oddin]

THEY ARE DISCOUNTED.....APC MK4 requires 106,800!

I'm finally CWA! #Finally #Badassery #Unstoppable

 

[Arminius]

GZ, I also went to CWA at 16:00 CET.

 

[LordStark263AC]

I'm level 232, you?

 

[Arminius]

Level 222, but roads still on level 5 to confuse invaders ;-)

 

[LordStark263AC]

What are your priorities? I'm upgrading Airstrip, Museum and Factory so far, might use crowns on Armory and/or Heavy Tank Bunker. Atomic Age Missle Silo is powerful enough for now, so that can wait.

Personally, I'm cool with the 25% upgrade. Since CWA represents a sort of "finish line" for the game, I think it makes sense for folks to take longer to finish it out. I just went to CWA, and as I'm cranking through oil upgrades, I was thinking "Damn, that's it for Airfield and Silo upgrades. And in a few days, that'll be it for factory upgrades too".

Obviously I have lots more stuff to upgrade, but rushing to finish it all out can be a different sort of problem in terms of players engaging with the game over a longer time.

Given the 2 weeks, I'm planning accordingly to close out a lot of the key high-oil costs and will be happy with what I accomplished.

 

[Arminius]

I have started blacksmith, library, air strip & factory. Currently I am waiting for worker 19 & 20, so that I can start another oil-building, probably bunker? Or I'll use some crowns to get another 4 workers to start missile silo - at best before Monday to use the 50% bonus. ... but I do only have ~ 2000 crowns - since they only give us 2 or 3 per day and I need those crowns on the last day of this event for HT 6 and fighters.

Here's one interesting tip folks might not realize:

You don't have to upgrade your Armory to upgrade Airstrip and Factory troops (you just have to upgrade your Factory and/or Airstrip).

Personally, I used crowns to complete a factory and airstrip upgrade so that I could start a few oil-troop upgrades. I didn't have to touch my Armory / Blacksmith. Maybe in a month or so I'll get around to upgrading that, but for now, there's no real reason.

 

[Arminius]

Thx, running a test now ... hope it works

 

[Bobortvogel]

Why isn’t the level 5 silo discounted during Cold War event? This seems like a big miss.

 

[sileepuppee]

I agree as the new upgrade to silo and aircraft gun are cwa upgrades yet they aren’t a part of it. I feel like they could’ve obviously timed it better. They arent space age buildings (Or are they?).
