I have mixed thoughts regarding these new castellans. I think they are still too powerful. But at the same time, the whole point with the shapeshifter castellan was to introduce a strong castellan that could counter a master summoner.
If GGE keeps introducing new and much stronger commanders like the master summoner to everyone, then i guess these new castellans aren't that bad. But in the current standards of the game, they are still not balanced enough and could still need tweaking.
Note that i mean the charm and the insignia castellan.
The ruby castellan i would prefer it wasn't introduced to the game at all.

I've recompiled the stats for each of these 3 new castellans for those who would like to get an overview of what it looks like.
The new castellan is pretty much identical to the old one just with some tweaked combat strenght stats.

With this new cast being 120/120, 100 CY and 50 wall, it is by far the strongest castellan i have ever seen in the game, even with custom gem combinations you will not reach these numbers, and this is even without a look item, which could make this cast 120 cy or 70 wall, EXCLUDING hall bonuses. This will let someone with 4k sentinels defend a fully fledged ruby hit. This is outrageous. To come even remotely close to defeating this cast we would need commanders with over 160 CY and 90 wall. This is getting so far out of hand it's absolutely insane.

I can maybe accept the first 2 (still too powerfull) that you can buy without ruby's since it probably takes at least 6 months to get 1. However, ruby buyers already have an edge in SS and now they get another edge with the ruby cast.

I've seen only a few commanders on the UK1 server with 170%+ Courtyard, presumably with 5 max level Courtyard gems, and only the big 3 alliances seem to have them. However, I don't know what set you need to get courtyard to that high.[5023729]

Dang!
I just said about that yesterday, in the January update discussion.
This is good except that ruby purchase option,an 'UPPER HAND' for all the ruby whales.
This Cast set was meant to lessen the gap b/w Ruby players and simple ones but don't know if that'll happen.
Otherwise good step!
AND there is nothing balanced out as well
It just got stronger!

LOL I remember the last time they were gonna bring out the SS castellan- of course almost everyone was against it for good reasons. Due to the negative feedback received; they put it on hold with the message distinctly saying they still had plans to introduce this set to the game but with lowered stats...... To be honest- I can't even tell the difference between the previous set/s and this supposedly nerfed set/s.
Casts are supposed to have lower cy and flank bonuses in comparison to comms as attackers can only send a limited number of troops. 1:1 - attackers should always come out on top; introducing this set completely reverses the logic. C'mon GGS, reeeaaally? Just baffling......not sure what else to say

I really don't see that many nerfs tbh. Changed it from charms to rubies. I thought they would actually change it

lol at my current rates of earning - the insignia will take 50 active SS days , the Charm one 250 ish depending on first days attacks ! - the ruby one is a pipe dream and could never buy as would need to win the lottery !SyedKingdom (ASIA1) said:Dang!

Lol you really think that that's enough for this castellan? you're dumb LOL. Plus you can only obtain one commander like that.Katamaran (IN1) said:well some of us have a commander with 160CY and 70flankLegendaryLia7 (INT1) said:With this new cast being 120/120, 100 CY and 50 wall, it is by far the strongest castellan i have ever seen in the game, even with custom gem combinations you will not reach these numbers, and this is even without a look item, which could make this cast 120 cy or 70 wall, EXCLUDING hall bonuses.

your commander is not enough for this castellan. we have 2 players in our alliance with the shapeshifter set and already exaggerated results in the defense by the last war and good attackers. with 122% (162 soldier) on the flank was not to get the wall for the attacker.Katamaran (IN1) said:well some of us have a commander with 160CY and 70flankLegendaryLia7 (INT1) said:With this new cast being 120/120, 100 CY and 50 wall, it is by far the strongest castellan i have ever seen in the game, even with custom gem combinations you will not reach these numbers, and this is even without a look item, which could make this cast 120 cy or 70 wall, EXCLUDING hall bonuses.

Just clueless, lazy and inept is what GGE is. 6 months for this? I could have come up with this garbage in under 5 min, so GGE just send me $1000 usd, and you'll have a better solution than your team took months to come up with the next day.

The Charm one is acceptable, BUT the ruby and Insignia ones are still to strong. The Ruby version makes the Eagle look weak in comparison.

logged in for the cast stats, stayed because of this post:
when everyone has one of these casts, PVP will deffo drop as noone will be bothered to send their attackers to the meat grinder.
its impossible to attack without a flank look item as it is and these casts will only make it tougher and more expensive
game is already pretty broken at the higher levels, with the strongest players all having massive defence flanks, so im not even blaming these casts (although they add to the current imbalance between attack/defence)
