Dear players,
 here you can discuss the update.

Please return to the former format for spy reports.  I can't make head or tails of the new format.  I won't play if it stays the same.  General unhappiness over the change is the consensus among people I play with.  Please change back

SORRY I DIDN'T LOOK AT THE DATE ON THIS THREAD BEORE POSTING. I HAVE COPIED MY POST TO THE GENERAL UDATE THREAD

Incredibly Crap Update.

Something has happened to the balancing act between attack and defend. (Even on the Samurais). I finally managed to work out how to set up an attack as I used to do. When I get the result, the losses are at least 3 times what they used to be. Nice Work GG!!

I guess there's 1 good thing about the very clunky attack setup screen. You can't do it fast. 

God Help us all
Good Luck
Debbie

in France, it's the same thing, many of my partners think they'll stop if there isn't a simpler and more comfortable way to play just so that gge returns to the previous version, which they probably won't do since they have "invested" for this one

les plus gros joueurs de notre alliance parlent d’arrêter
mème plus possible d’organiser une défense valable la vu la limitation de nombre de def   actif

c’est du n’importe quoi cette mise a jour

October update has made attacking set ups longer and confusing against non player targets.  Battle outcomes not consistant, presets only work for one type of unit eg setup up each row with different units and tools with each row ticked - save this as a preset then apply and it does an autofill with all the wrong troops and tools for every row, WTF these are not aligning with intended setup - what a waste time having to do a redo and then go row by row. Being unable to analyse the process for attack approach is really annoying me so much I consider this game is too broken for me to continue to work with these extra time sinks - just keeping the troops fed until a reasonable response from GGE to address this.

Morjens ! Olisiko mahdollista saada Automaattinen täyttö toimimaan ? Ei toimi eikä kaikkia "ruutuja" voi täyttää työkaluilla tai sotilailla. Lisäksi esiasetus ei tallennu.Ohjeet myös Automaattiseen täyttöön olisi myös mukava saada. T:Hullu Hans

With a big update I expected bugs and having to make some changes in strategy.
But, I didn't expect to have all my efforts to build a defense and recruit 10's of thousands of mead defenders just so one update would make that effort worthless.
This update is a fundamental change to attack, defend, and support that I cannot support. 

[5239657] mobarak330 (AE1) [AE1] :: Oct. 8, 2022, 11:05 a.m.

First, we are not in 2021, please edit the title

Second: The update is very negative

The organization of the attack has become complex and requires a lot of pressure

General XP does not count while attacking
I've raised the general's points many times

I am surprised that the final number does not change

Defense is disgusting
So that a player with a strength of 50 million will not be able to repel the attack of a player with a strength of one million

It's disgusting

Everyone I have spoken to is angry about this awful update.... many are planning to quit. Made the game so hard to play and losses are so much higher.

Worst job ever by GGE. I guess GGE just wants more money..... they won't get it, when players give up.

Having over 2 milion support troops and 300k wine troops in a outpost and getting 100% burnings after just one attack.
losing honour at te same time when you are just losing 3000 troops from the 2,300.000 inside of the castle.

This is nog a update but just asking people te stop playing. 

if there was a updated threat from this update and forum was more active if would explode with comment.

This new update is a gamekiller for meg and members of my alliance. The new attack setup is so uneccessary complicated, and I have absolutely no interest in learning it. The old attack setup worked just fine, so if this new update is not removed within 30 days, me and my teammates are gone for good. We have played together for many years, but there is no way I will vaste my time making any attacks for competitions or pvp with this new setup. So far feedback from many other alliances on my server (Nordic) is that most players will quit playing if this new update isn`t removed quickly. Many alliances struggles as it is to keep players motived, this update will be the final nail in the coffin.

I tend to not worry about global effects or "the math." I am certain that they will always lean on increasing profitability for the capitalist machine that operates this game. That's a given.
When the game ceases to be enjoyable to players within my alliance, they depart to find other more enjoyable things to do with their time... I have not heard an explanation of why this new format was necessary. Simply debunking and relearning how to initiate attacks and such is problematic enough for some of our players. They may stay longer and try to figure it out, but some may not. (My .02 cents)
