Hí , i have problem of foreigns...why have 200 defenders one 59-68 level foreign castle??
My power status? -thoose are 110k +
Military power?-i have 4k atackers
And the event are 4 day long? -why?? i dont have so many flags ( i have 3k )
This event aren't fair,

Why not start the castles then 1000 soldier? Why not two days the event ?
Oh, of course ... that GGS has come to the money ..
and I think many will agree with meRegards, ERik

GGE is forcing you to spend thousands of glory flags if you want to win the equipment

I was saying to use that as an alternative to the banners if you are worried about wasting glory tools. I understand that most of the castles are weak.

Look, I understand the FC's are garbage. I don't even bother with them anymore. Attack real players if you want glory. I was just giving him an option to use instead of wasting glory tools.

Yep the last 2 events for me have been terrible. really terrible. I have to say hitting hundreds and hundreds of castles and having a best castle of 1700 troops is a little tedious.
The event really has gone downhill, but its a GGE ploy to get you to use ruby banners on worse and worse castles. And i simply refuse to. If i dont get a decent castle then the ruby banners stay put.
All you can do is keep hitting them, make sure you use minimal tools, try to get a commander with decent glory, try and keep your Honour as high as possible to get as much of the 100% glory bonus as possible (100% glory bonus is at 3000 honour).
Build red glory flags non stop. And use them on your better castles.
Use A glory icon on a coat of arms if you have enough achievments to unlock them, that can add up to 40% more if you have high enough achievments.
Collect some horsetails from nomads, but only use them if you get a very nice castle.
Its a long way from ideal, but by grinding it out its very possible to collect all the equipment without spending a ruby. Just depends if you can stand the boredom, of hitting rubbish castles over and over.
The event really has taken a turn for the worse and is about as far away from the origional concept, as its possible to get. Which was origionally sold as "real" castles cloned from another server, and "real" attacks cloned from another server.
Now we get attacks with no tools so if you are online you looking at next to zero losses. obviously can get more messy if you not online to defend. And castles with around 500 troops in them!!!! I mean come on please!!!! which server has real players (not shells) that only have 99% of players with 500 troops max!!! Thats food production of anywere between 1200-2000 per hour to support that!!! and thats assuming you dont run negative. Do me a favour!!!
Yet again decisions being made on maximising ruby spend, at the expense of playability. I wish a few senior decision makers would play the game over there, and try hitting endless rubbish castles, over and over . Its Boring!!! if you want people to play your game it has to be fun first, keep them interested first, then maybe you can think of getting them to spend rubies to enhanse their game.
If you ever want to turn around the decling number of players, then you need to make it fun again, as the endless grinding out of towers, and events over and over again. really becomes tedious

Can't agree with this any more. When I got to level 70, i thought - hey, FL might be decent now with harder targets - no, not the case. Just a harder leaderboard with the same crappy 500 def castles. What player t level 70 has 500 men? Not many unless they just lost a fair few in a deadly battle. On a bad day I have 500 def, normally at least 900-1200 and I won't lie that's pretty awful for a lv70. And they seem to have a serverfull of these ghost players. Seriously, FL s like fighting out alliances wars that we start just to endlessly farm a group of dead players with no defense. It might as well be named the "fight crap castles and slowly kill your army in hope of a decent target that you will never get and lose all hope invasion."Philt123 (GB1) said:Yep the last 2 events for me have been terrible. really terrible.

I would like to add that while it isn't completely dispositive, which server you face does matter. Russia and Germany provide larger castles (we don't face US so I don't know how they make our castles).
Asia, Brazil and especially India are bad. This is reflective. Hell, PvP isn't even allowed per player rules in India.
However...this does not justify the 45 or so 500-600 D castles I get facing Germany. None of those would even resemble an OP on that server.

Perhaps the lower troop levels present in castles is indicative of the growing farms issue if they are truly an example of random castles - I also notice more hits full armies - with no attack tools - if this is the case I am guessing a further downward trend in future.WiseDaniel (US1) said:I would like to add that while it isn't completely dispositive, which server you face does matter.

The FCs are bots that GGE initially claimed represented real players from other servers, although there is very rarely anything real about their attacks or defenses. Look at some of the espionage reports on them, I've seen up to 1600 militia in the courtyard on some castles. They also have tools just 1 wave deep, which is practically unheard of on a real player.
I don't think they are any indication of real issues on the servers, it's just a cheap and easy way to make an event to occupy our time. When the Foreign Invasion first came out, everyone was crying on the forums that they were too hard. GGE dumbed them down and now the complaint is they are too easy. There should be some balance between the two.. who knows if that will ever happen.

The thing thats is very strange about Fori Invasion and Bloodcrow, is that there Commanders and attacks are quite rubbish , but there defence is much better ie tools on wall and defenders this i find strange , so what gge are saying there much better at defending than attacking

Not sure if i am being very unobservant, but i have never seen an FI or BC with lime bombs or throwing nails from nomads/sams.
Every average and above player will know that lime bombs are a huge defence boost and if the correct cast and some other bonuses, lime bombs with vet flames on wall can hold against a 6 waver. Cant imagine on servers like germany and italy they wouldnt use lime bombs in defence?
