Gentlemen... All I ask for is war, a war so grand as to make Hell itself tremble. Gentlemen, I ask you as fellow brothers in arms, what is it you really want? Do you wish for further war as I do? Do you wish for a merciless, bloody war? A war whose fury is built with iron, and steel? Do you ask for war to sweep in like a tempest, leaving not even ravens to scavenge, from this Server!?
Very well. Then war is what you shall have. We are a clenched fist, ready to strike down all who oppose us, with our might. But... After enduring for over two years, wallowing in the darkness, for us, a simple "ordinary" war will no longer be sufficient. We need a MASSIVE war! A war beyond any other that man's history has ever known! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty... For tonight, we dine in hell!
There needs to be a change. After 2 years of playing this game, it has got to change in order to keep us playing. You might as well change the name of this game to Spartan: Battle of Thermopylae. As every person here is King Leonidas defending the castle pass from the Persian King Xerxes. 101 Spartan trickle army vs 80,000. Really? It's lame. I didn't know my troops were henchmen attacking 1 at a time... 1000:1 troop advantage and you don't win!!!!
Give me catapults, give me trebuchets, give me rams. I want to break the enemy, not just his will, but his castle as well. I want to destroy his wall. His ability to raise an army, his crops to feed his people, the resources to buy copper and silver. I want to scorch that castle to the ground!
"FoW lasted I think 2 weeks. Probably 97% of players hated it. L&K will never do that again. Enough said. "
No...probably 90% of the 97% no longer play.. Why not take a 2nd look into it. Give me the unknown. I want the fog of war or a form of it. I should not be able to see in a glance the name or strength of a castle. The location of the castle...sure....why not but not the info about it.... Hide the darn list of ALL of my castle locations!!! I've invested way too much time in this game for that.. I should be able to build up in secret and strike from the shadows.. Not for some jack to watch my list and strike while I build...How about Make me pay a "diplomat" silver to visit the "black market" to acquire the info.. Make them send a spy, or attack them!! Or if you conquer one of my castles you gain the location of some of my nearby castles.. But don't give the info freely.. And then it can be old outdated info..as you expand you meet neighbors and you know who your neighbors are.
Castle overrun: when the attacking troops number 200:1 then you overrun the defense and take the castle.
Give me a universal game clock to assist in coordinated attacks/defense... Joe blow in EST tells me his landing but I have to play the game of is that Server sunrise + 3hrs or 4hrs. Just give me a game clock..
To hard for mass attack.. Well that's war. The synchronize attack option made the game WAY to easy...
Speaking of attacks.. These advance notice of incoming attacks is ridiculous.. 50hrs, 78hrs, 100hrs notice gives Leonidas way to much time to rally his Spartan trickle army... Either cut out the trickle or cut the notice down..
Free castles need to continue to build up and grow beyond 40pts
Inactive player cites need to convert to free cities after 1 month and then grow..
New building: Walls - Increase defense of troops in castle
Watchtower - increase attack notice time.
Towers - increase troop attack strength inside castle
Market: the Gold exchange... Let me trade in 1000 silver for 1 gold!
Taxes: let me tax my subjects to make cooper, silver, or gold..
Siege workshop - build siege machines. (Rams, catapults, trébuchets)
Moat - increase defense of troops in castle, prevents overrun of castle.
Palace/Capitol (only 1) - increase subject amount. Increase attack/defense
strength
This game is getting old and boring and more people are leaving for newer games.. We need fresh ideas and features
