Topic: [335531] Exciting Times Ahead in the Great Empire!

[-335531] ang1243 (GB1) [GB1] :: June 9, 2017, 11:03 a.m.

Friends, nomads, crossbowmen, lend me your ears!

 
The first phase of the BATTLE OF NATIONS has certainly left its mark on the battlefields of the Great Empire! But as the dust starts to settle, a great secret is starting to reveal itself! It is time to bring some light into the dark!

 In recent months we have been heavily focussing on improving your overall Empire experience. To achieve this goal, we have been reevaluating and refreshing existing features, as well as eliminating exploits and pain points to create a fairer, more balanced game for every castle lord and lady throughout the empire.

 We have also been working hard towards creating and implementing new and exciting content into the Great Empire. Here is just a sample of what you can look forward to in the coming updates:

 
ggempire-iconxtaakpngNEW EVENT MECHANIC

As a new nomad invasion dawns, our spies have reported sightings of a new threat that will change your military strategy forever! This summer’s Khan’s Revenge event will introduce a new mechanic in which you and your alliance members will have to work together to dominate the battlefield. Not only will your success in this event depend on your ability to attack enemy camps, but you can also put your defensive skills to the test by inviting attacks on your castle! Each attack you and your alliance members make on a Khan camp will increase the camp’s rage level. Once they are fully enraged, you can taunt the camp and trigger an attack on your castle. Successfully defend yourself against the onslaught of the Khan’s mercenary armies and you will be handsomely rewarded.

 

ggempire-iconxtaakpngINTRODUCTION OF MONTHLY CONTENT PACKAGES

Starting this summer, we will release new content into the game every single month. These monthly packages will include new features, gameplay enhancements, and a treasure trove of valuable rewards and items to help your castle prosper. The wishing well will also receive some fine tuning, and a new vendor selling valuable rewards will soon be setting up camp outside your castle walls. 

 

ggempire-iconxtaakpng KINGDOM RESOURCE IMPROVEMENTS

Not only will we increased the amount of resources you can loot by attacking NPCs on the world map, but we will also make some changes to the production buildings themselves. In addition to increasing the production values and maximum levels of your castle's production buildings, we will reduce the construction costs of many of the buildings. This will help you get your castle up and running even more quickly, saving you valuable time and resources that can be redirected towards exerting your influence on the world map.

It says the wishing well will receive some fine-tuning, I hope this doesn't mean it'll give less rubies? Otherwise seems alright, the khan onslaught, I'm a bit sceptical of but might turn out good if done right

Like ShadowOfEvil said, I can't help but be a little skeptical about this update after what happened with the last one - let's hope no one "forgets" information again - but overall it seems to be interesting. It will definitely be nice to have a new update every month, because the rate at which GGE currently releases updates is painfully slow. Additionally, the new nomads mechanic might actual put the defense boost to use, rather than just creating problems with PvP (though it still will). Like last time, I'm hopefully for this update, but last time we also saw the integration of Apprentice Tokens, which completely devalued the seasonal sets.

Curious to know when this update is going to happen? Also will the reduction of kingdom resources affect HoL's ?

Is the war loot bonus being changed or is it going to come at a later date? I know you didn't say it was going to be changed, but then again you weren't informed that we wouldn't be able to attack from RVs last update.

Wishing Well is something I'm a bit afraid of, because it is now a good feature for me.

The events seems nice, because finally we get rewards for good defending, which is nice.

The kingdom recources rework is also something that i'm looking forward to.

I think after the end of this monthly event... Or in the end of June...

Well i hope GGE doesn't screw the wishing well up cause because of this many non-ruby players have a chance to compete against ruby players and also helps non-ruby players gain rubies. The new event seems nice and am very happy that now for defending we"ll get rewards cause before in fcs/bcs even if we want to defend we wouldn't get rewards and thus we would hit that castle back. Also one question will hitting the camp back in this event during an incoming will lead the attack being bounced back?
Real happy with the kingdom resources rework eventhouuh i haven't reached lvl 70 yet on aus1 but with more kr loot from towers means that i can store whole lot of krs in every kingdom and when i reach lvl 70 i could easily loot more and transport meaning upgrades will be more easier. Let's hope as this new update is making us think things will start to move in other direction,i really hope that no more bugs come along with this update like previously the login bug and others came by. Still anxiously waiting for the update. Also i am curious to find out when the update will launch? @BM ang1243   @BM_Friedrich ??

Dont screw up the ruby well for us non buyers is all I have to say.

This seems to contain some interesting things.
A new nomad mechanic seems interesting. I need to see how that works out. They can make it awful or make it awesome.
Rewards might be worth it or they might be pointless.
Promises of new content sound interesting. I hope the quality is worth not bring back Royal city and alliance tournament.

What kind of "fine tuning" do you want to do with the wishing well?!

I have been looking forward to changes regarding Kingdom resources/resources for months! :D I hope it's as good as it sounds! :D

While i like the sound of these new events, Id like the Royal Capital to be fixed ya know? It is my favorite event by far.

So, taking the FL/BC mechanic and adding it to the Nomads.  But, the attack won't come unless ENRAGED enough.  Interesting.

Will you be able to "enrage" a camp more than once?

Will each camp be able to become "enraged"?

What does "handsomely rewarded" mean?  Currently BC/FL gives coins a few coins.  Not very "handsome".

"Cautiously Optimistic"  would be my feeling.  (Seen too many be good stories and then be nothing in reality)

PLEASE be careful what you do here.  Adding things at the expense of losing "free rubies" will NOT be well received.....

This, I like.  :)




Cautiously Optimistic but ready to be disappointed..............

Can't believe I'm saying this but this seems like not that bad of a idea if it works out...

[4764603] Herveus (AU1) [AU1] :: June 9, 2017, 3:25 p.m.
@Dark Venom (ASIA1)
It will not affect HoL.

It will not affect HoL.

Where did you get the information it will not not affect the HoL?

I hope they sort out the costs properly.....everything costs way too much and rubies are required more and more for certain upgrades and buildings....this is an issue as it is not fair...too much costs and not fair to the ones who don't / can't afford the rubies...this is not a good incentive or for fair playing transporting from one kingdom to another though it has been reduced it is still too much....some players have left because it becomes expensive / boring especially when not able to use rubies...there must be a better answer for everyone....especially as the game is played through out the world

If you make the wishing well worse then give us a good, decent passable compensation. If you make it better then thanks. But if its worse then the compensation better not be 5 twigs and half a pebble.
