I really love the new overview screen showing all my resources. It was a drag to have to go into each castle to see how many kingdom rss were available. The currency is handy for finding areas of improvement. I have always used this screen and this is a super update. It will be nice to see a true representation of our food levels.
If you don't use it, don't comment. Thanks GGE! This is a winner.

I do like the new overview too. Foodconsumption makes it still not perfect, but for the rest I can say it is really an improvement. I get a much better overview of the kingdomrecources and it's nice to split your army into attackers, defenders and tools of attack and defence. That makes it more orginazed, and I like that.

I Agree with youPeter John (US1) said:Wait, are you saying next samurai event that starts on Aug 6. will not have apprentice token in the shop? That means this only give us 1 more chance in Nomad. This is BS, most of us would have 0 (or at least < 400) token left and waiting for sammy/nomad event to buy 500 then just spend it what we can.BM ang1243 said:...
Hi @dax (INT1)
Unfortunately it wouldn't be possible to remove the apprentice tokens from the samurai shop without a downtime, meaning that the decision was made to remove them with the downtime on Wednesday, as it would prevent the need for further downtime.
Cheers,
Angus
So what's exactly the point to have apprentice blacksmith runs 3 more weeks but in reality we can only do 1 more buy.
And GGS rationale is to avoid further downtime? REALLY???? I'm 100% sure we prefer to have 1 more down time but able to get token from next sammy event. Another proof that GGS just don't give a chit about players.

The Apprentice Blacksmith is a very good idea and should be a regular as is "The Nobility Guy", I check him out before I go past my main. Apprentice Blacksmith gives us an opportunity to pickup pieces we were not able to acquire in normal play. We all (or, I do and so do my teammates) have real life to contend with before GGE. I would like to see this become a regular feature!
Overall; lately, I think GGE is trying to improve but not thinking through before putting it out there for the world. My experience with programmers is that they fail to see what all will be effected when a change is made; and that's okay; but fix it before the world points out you made a really bad mistake. Have the downtime and Fix It, a.s.a.p.
KEEP the Apprentice Blacksmith! Also, KEEP the Wishing Well....Both serves the GGE Public. At some point GGE has got to pay Attention To Their Public; or, they will fall to the wayside because there are lots of games elsewhere.

Realize this, nomads and samurai's can be boosted to the point where you can get 50k tokens in a day. That's 5k apprentice token or 10+ pieces from the apprentice blacksmith. Hmmm 1 days of hard work is now the equivalent of 30 long days. Get real. I am in strong belief that RL comes first before GGE but I also believe in hard work paying off.

The new castle overview is an improvement, while the graphic actually suck, not the functionality is great.
Except, the fact that we have to move our eye from the castle name (left) and visit/send res/troops (right). Who's genius idea is putting these at the other end from each other? They should be put on the same side so all within one eye sight. Simple thing but make big difference.

The whole set can be get in practically 2 days with good preparation of ranged soldiers and mantlets.

The seasonal equipment set can also be achieved in a day. That being said, I do find it strange that so many players are sad to see the apprentice blacksmith go after so much complaining at the beginning. Though it was useful for me I never agreed with it and I do think it's unfair to the players who put in effort to achieve those sets. At the same time, it still provides those players with duplicate pieces for combos and such, so it's not completely unfair.macdrizzleer (US1) said:So your saying keep the apprentice blacksmith so everyone who had already acquired these sets from hard work and grinding for months will be on the same playing level as those who sat back and did nothing?B.

Well you obviously haven't completed book 2 in 2 days. Even with great planning it still takes more than 2 weeks to complete earning 2 sets of the monthly EQ. And FYI I sure as he'll have completed a monthly event in 18 hrs. Easy to do with enough ranged troops and mantlets saved up. Even easier if you spend some $$ and buy a 50% booster for 24 hrs.
My whole issue is everyone complaining that the apprentice blacksmith is leaving when it was so easy to get the EQ from him, compared to the month long event.

I like the new overview, i am ignoring the food since it's wrong, but handy to see all res at a glance. I would find it better if there was a separate tab for labs and monuments though.
Thanks
Now if only we could get actual scoreboards for nomads and sams like we do for FI and Storm...........

However, it bothers me why you put apprentice tokens out from samurai shop before the apprentice blacksmith is removed.
At least you could keep tokens while there is blacksmith camp, since new samurai and nomad equipment was not introduced in recent update...
Unfortunately it wouldn't be possible to remove the apprentice tokens from the samurai shop without a downtime, meaning that the decision was made to remove them with the downtime on Wednesday, as it would prevent the need for further downtime.
Cheers,

so you are saying you removed the tokens early before the apprentice event was over and DAYS before the sams event was over so we cant get tokens for the entire event and no one can have them anymore...
so why is the apprentice there. if we cant have get the tokens remove the apprentice
otherwise this just isn't going to work. most of all this is not logical or fair to anyone at all

Changing overview screen is a real improvement to game, however giving out misleading information about food balance on the overview - and not informing about this in advance is - one more - example, that you do not consider your players basic need and expectations, when "developing" the game.
Do you expect players to do the calculations themselves, honestly how hard can it be:(

Hi Ang.
I like the new castle overview. Think is was a nice improvement.
from what you wrote, i can see its still a work in progress - or at least GGE will be correcting some of the info it shows.
I'd like to suggest something that may have been discussed or could already be under consideration which is:
- In the military overview, instead of showing the food consumption, it would be a great help to display the food balance (considering bakeries, etc.)
That would really help to balance food all over.
Hope you guys decide this would be a helpful feature aswell.
keep going. nice 1

I use the overview a LOT, for transfer of troops, resources, keeping tabs on tools I have and where. beats jumping from castle to castle to assess things. I really like this rework, its nice not having to open the kingdom screen to send troops to outside kingdoms and i really love how we are able to keep track of all resources and currencies. The currency totals is one of the additions i really wanted to see. Thanks for the super sweet update to the overview!
