IMO, you clearly owe Nadia an apology for being so CLEARLY rude. There is no reason to be so CLEARLY testy.
See how it feels? Not very nice.
I have no idea what you are on there, but if you want to troll please go troll somewhere else. I owe no one apologies, I'm not even sure sure where that psychotic outburst came from in the first place.
If you have nothing to say in a thread, avoid spamming the thread, thank you.
Actually, this forum has a ignore feature at least, you'll guess you've been added to it.
The amount of horseshoes seem to become astronomical only when you continue to train the same horse rather than breed 2, which will reduce the amount of horseshoes needed to train in the horse that's produced. I'm usually ready to move onto another one when the numbers get into the mid-20's. It's also helpful if you upgrade all of your training grounds and then only use 20 horseshoes at a time, as the level of upgrade you've reached on the training ground is added to tally of stars collected whenever you train. That way you maximize the amount of stars you can get out of a small number of horseshoes. For example, if you use 20 horseshoes to train your horse, that's only 2 stars, but if you've upgraded your training ground to level 8, that's 10 per 20 horseshoes It's slow going but effective.
Yes, the island farms are very difficult for smaller farms to afford, making it very difficult new farms to support them and almost impossible to finish even one chapter, however, you can move slowly on the island farms as well, and make enough horseshoes to buy a few seeds, and then if you save them to only use when you're capable of filling all 6 slots on the ship you're getting the most horseshoes for the money spent. A good strategy is to go into the event farm manager and find out what product there is the easiest to make. On the viking farm it would be the tunic. You can just grow flax over and over, making tunics, without worry about the actual tasks provided since it will take millions to complete even just the first chapter, and still make of the rune stones to buy a decent amount of seeds. When those seeds aregrown wisely, only when you have greenhouse humus available and spent only when you can get the loading bonus from the ship, you can get enough horseshoes to keep your horse in constant training. It's been working for me. I'm in the diamond league now.
But again a perfect example, most of my competitor are either 2x or near 3x my level. Assured losses as always. Pretty much, I act as a win-farming for almost everyone in the competition the way I see it.
Technically speaking, they would need to rehaul the competition aspect for sure. None of us are asking to win all the time but most of us do understand that the currents maths are not really working.
Many don't even like the horse side of the farm, but for me, it's like a game within a game, a way of getting away from my corn and gambling with my horse which is a bit of fun.
I'll never really grow my horse beyond 40 since the horse shoes required is just insane, even reach 40 will be insane enough a goal for me so I won't bother with the headache of going any further unless things change or I am sure there is no cheating going around because I find it hard to believe that some people can acquire enough horseshoes to get that high that fast. And as with all games, there are no exception to that rule, they are always a few weasels to find a way to exploit something, always.
I presume that, the more people comment about the algorithm not being right for matches, eventually they will put a restriction on level limit top and under your own level tho, just depends how many people contribute in comments and if they really value these comments.
And this new forum format is just... yuck.
Many games have this problem in ranked type play and the only way encourage people to continue playing it is to balance the system out. If there is little chance of winning, people will stop playing, it's that simple.
I know about the first sentance, It happened to me. I did not know about the bug/glitch, I am going to change that right away! thanks for the info Flittermouse!
Oh and BTW- I know someone who challenged a level 0 horse...and LOST!!!!

Why is it in the Uncle George event we are pitted against similarly leveled people, but NOT in the horse competitions?
The GLITCHES, the RESETS, the taking of GOLD...
Shall I go on....
The entire Program needs fixing or REMOVED....
Glad to hear this... as I (like many) have pretty much written off the horses. What is the sense in spending time and energy to update the rings (which is VERY time intensive and takes up my building slot... which I ALSO take issue with) when I desperately need to update my other farms more, then spend time and a LOT of money on the islands so I can get the special fruits, so then I can spend yet MORE time and materials to sell to the boat for maximum horseshoe profits, and THEN use those horseshoes to train the horse (and I agree that it takes an unreasonable amount... so I have totally halted THAT until all my rings are at level 9. But... they may NEVER be at that level due to reason number one above)... and after ALL this... I can be matched against a horse 2, 3, even 4 or 5 times my level? Thanks but no thanks GoodGames. I stopped playing Empires for reasons like this and certainly learned not to spend too much on a game I may have to walk away from. I admit that this wont make me walk (the horrid new deco challenge drop rates may, however)... but I totally ignore the horses for the most part now. If I win, I win... if I don't, whatever. I consider it rigged and treat it as such, when I feel this way about more than 50% of the game (and it is getting close lately)... I will simply stop playing. Especially as "support" is a joke and NEVER replies. On the rare occasion they HAVE to either myself or a co-op member, the reply was invariably "so sad, too bad, be mad... but we either can (or will) do nothing".
