Guilty as charged & Happy as Ever!

Thanks for the immense work to everyone! Sorry for jumping ahead Blacksmith, won't happen again.

The great buildings better be nerfed to hell for attack and def bonus. I'm so sick of having to fight impossible enemy cities, and having them attack me without losing anything because the AI controlling my units is useless, particularly against buffed up units.

If you know you're going to lose a fight before you even attack, why go through with it? And nobody is making you attack anyone else...

Example: Deal Castle less 50% of Medals
Example: Chathedral of Aachen less 50% Coins

really bad update tons of players will lost 1/2 of global points etc.

Good. GBs are completely overpowered right now. I have an almost full colonial age city and I rank lower than people who still have a bunch of low level buildings all over the place. But I don't mind about rank as much as I do about the overpowered troop buffs.

what are you talking about
we will have more marge neighborhood because of the 10% increse (2 neighborhoods will marge if they drop under 50 players ,way better then before 40)
so more active players to attack= more points


-Points gained for killing battle units have been rebalanced. - i dont know if this is a bad thing or a good thing
 

DeletedUser8793

yes I'm wrong with the Chatedral of Aachen, its ~ -15% Coins each day.
Example: 4540 coins with level 4
after this update: 3820 coins each day with level 4

But u will get only 94 Medals for the Deal Castle with level 10, before you get 196 Medals.

lol, you think that's bad, the re-balance in battle points is waayyyyy worse

Btw, I think the medals is quite fair: max # of medals earned from PvP: 550
medals earned in a week from Deal Castle (at level 10) in v0.26: 658

Damn if deal castle one is true then it screws me over a bit personally(although I like that nerf). Built Deal Castle as my last GB just very reciently and didn't put any work into leveling it yet. Used to have dominant lead in my world medal charts when GBs came out but I'm now out of top5 and 8k medals below new leader. This makes this gap much more difficult to make up now as I basicially just "missed out" from having a vastly overpowered building in my town for 2 months that no longer excists as it was :P

But nah don't really care too much about medals, happens.

Anyways what are the other changes? Saying "-Bonuses for Great Buildings have been rebalanced (the bonus remains the same, but the value has been changed). "is kinda like posting a changelog thread and saying nothing more than "There will be some changes, improvements and bug fixes this week, but most stuff stays the same".

I feel the same way Grey. I thought it was once implemented on Cirgard, but I could be mistaken.

Looking forward to this update, Thanks FoE Team!

Rebalancing of units and great buildings

In this update, there are some changes to great building bonuses and battle unit points which are intended to make the game more balanced as a whole. This may mean that you will notice a decrease/increase in points gained for killing certain types of units, or the bonus for a great building will change. However, we believe these changes (detailed below) will make gameplay fairer across the ages.

Unit points balancing
When you kill units in battle, the number of battle points gained depends on the type of units you have killed. The number of points gained for most of these units has been adjusted. The difference is slight for most units, with the most significant changes in Colonial age units Musketeer and Fields guns (point increase) and a reduction in points for killing Berserkers from the High Middle Ages.

New values are listed in the spoiler below (for killing the unit from full health at 100% happiness):

Ask and you shall receive :) The point change on troops will be retro active not the great buildings though. We have been finding ways to try and balance the system and this is what was come up with. So everyone will notice some point changes when this update comes into effect.
