Sure I'll miss that good ol' Captain. But the game had to be balanced between browser, phone and tablet players. TH only being available to browser players was a bit unfair, to be honest. I prefer having something available to everyone, like incidents, rather than something unique to browser players.
Of course everything he could find has been transferred to incidents and GE. Incidents can provide coins, supplies, medals, Forge Points, Blueprints, potions, motivation kits ... but what about unattached soldiers (offered in the 8-hour chest) ? Perhaps now from rhinos on rafts and bonsai trees ?
The removal of the Daily Challenge penalty is also a very good move. Players with busy schedules and/or unable to log in for various reasons, or simply whose city layout does not allow them to complete the challenge in time, will not be penalised anymore.
The window dismissal should also make our lives easier. But does it affect the "Victory" window for GE's negotiation game too ?
Also looking forward to see the new zoom level and Reconstruction functionality in action. What is this new building to the southwest of the Friends Tavern with a play button over it, by the way ?
