    The problem with it though is that to gain more space for troops you need to send more resources because you need at least 25 troops to kill those resource villages. Why am i sending 7000 resources and only recieving 700 its ridicolous! I think GGS intentinally made it hard for non ruby players to win so they would get more money. That only makes it more unlikely you will be getting my money!

    It actually works differently. As long as you follow the goals, and keep the attacks going up there, you should have no problem, because the resources from your conquest will help develop the camp, which will in turn support the conquest. Also, the only thing you should send up is troops, because the resources have too heavy a tax to be worth sending.

    i no rite!

    You don't know! You aren't even doing it. Stop agreeing with people who are commenting about things that happen in the challenge! You have no idea what goes on during the Thorn King challenge.

    look if you arrive at the necromancer catsle you get 60 of those soldiers , so i think that if you finish the event you get 100 or 200 , at least i hope so :)

    You get 60 of them....but to get there you must first lose about 200 of your veterans and like 150,000 resources (if not more!!!)!!!

    You don't need to send resources. Attack the small villages only until you have more troops the the maximum troops required for 1 wave of attacks on a tower

    The villages only take 1.5 minutes to reach and can be reattacked every 15 minutes

    With a force of 40+ (and no siege weapons) you will get about 232 wood and stone for each attack (plus food) losing 1-5 troops

    With four attacks per hour this gives you enough for 2 additional small tents per hour (10 extra troops for future troop movements) with just one small village available. (Having extra villages allows castle extensions etc)

    Using this strategy, after 2 days I already have 150 capacity in the camp and I am preparing to attack the tower at the bridge.

    Hello, everyone.Why complain is surely unnecessary. Why don't you go play it if it's too much of the game prompted? It should be fun, that people do their best, they want to continue the good and fun carving. And you should be grateful that people buy rubies otherwise you get no update s. I buy rubies because I like and also because I can further game with me, not everyone has it in his buget. you are also not required to conform to rubies or Doornking. So those people do their best to fun and fun for everyone to elegantly cut. But decay not for the other. Find the fun, sure it costs a lot, but there is nothing for nothing, so to bouwstofdorpsjes tevallen to wood, stone, food to come. I'm already about half am now at that bridge. So do you want, then go there than about suing another game do.

    I'm doing it, I know exactly what's going on and I like it. You guys are just upset that you couldn't figure it out and have sent resources and spent rubies. Some of you have already completed it and wonder why you've spent 100k worth of rubies (@ Farsight) and only got 300 as an end reward. No one said you had to do a 30 day challenge in 2 days.

    As for complaints about it - you play GGE already with no tangible real world reward, what is any different about the new challenge. It's a game... For fun... Play it and try and enjoy it. So much negativity from you guys about this challenge. Did you really think there'd be a 10,000 ruby reward or something like that?

    Or perhaps, you just can't complete the challenge and instead of admitting defeat you're going to complain about it instead.........

    to get resources, just pound the two small resource villages near you (use 20-30 soldiers) and I have gotten about 700 wood and stone every half hour which, if you do the math is more then enough for a non ruby tent thingy

    I agree. Cost of sending resources is too high. Frankly, I regret starting thornking event.

    I don't get it, this "Thorn King" is a fun challenge to try, and it looks fun, but why putting all your efforts to do this event for a lame reward?, is looks like a nice event to me, but they can not simply make us waste our time for some "kingsguard" soldiers and a few rubies they want to throw at us, when you can get the travelling knights... and attack some fortresses to earn rubies faster

    You lose 90% of the resources, if you send 1000 you recieve only 100

    Guys! first!! This event lasts for a month! send 10 soldiers there, and attacking first tower and you'll get 10 more soldiers! with the 20 soldiers assault the villages for resources and slowly accumulate resources! I am not Rubie player and play it for 2 days and have 45 troops there and the strength of the troops 120% ... I am not sending a resource! second!!! thanks to players who buy rubies the rest of us can play this game for free! and it is normal that they have the advantage! so think what you write!! and play the game and not be constantly complain! and try a little math when you attack!!

    one word for the thorn king quest - Tedious.

    I wouldn't mind but the amount of resources required in order to participate in this farce is far too high, especially as i didn't know what to expect. There's also the tools and troops required to conquer the towers, with cost in coinage to send them across, to be considered. The high level players might not mind the resource cost but for lower levellers it is a lot that could've been put to better use elsewhere.

    I was expecting something much more entertaining and rewarding so in all I think a fair bit of ruby spenders money has been put to bad use in the development of this quest.

    Your welcome for the comment about ruby players funding this game...apparently they don't respect ruby players or they wouldn't expect us to spend rubies on a temporary single player map
