Discussion Thread: October Update 2021

bazzara (GB1) · 14.12.2022

i stand corrected
thanks
this is the best update there done for a long while
but reading another link is this going to be altered again to less like it suggested

TripHammer (US1) · 15.12.2022

They did manage to really screw up the exchange of Khan tablets for coin, for monthly points. It now takes a ridiculous amount of clicks to get to 1020 tablets for the 6 points. The slider jumps from 838 tablets to 1800, so you either click up or down a country mile to get to 1020. Seems easy enough to set it up so you could either enter the 1020 tablets or the 153k coin.

Just another hopeless case of 'improving' the game... just sayin'...

TripHammer (US1) · 15.12.2022

Now I realize that they have made the alterations to the slider but 1020 tablets doesn't trigger the 6 points. It still gives 3 points at 950 tablets...

The example was 510 points for 3, 1020 for 6. 510 is the base value for lower levels. Higher level players need to spend 950 for 3 and 1900 for 6 etc.

You're just doing it wrong.

Wait how do you do it right then? I need some help on this one please.

Poseidon · 16.12.2022

Lets say you spend 100k points in one go now, you will get around 300 seasonal points now. Before the update, you would just get 3 points. For every 950 points you spend you get 3 points, so if you spend 1900 you get 6, if you spend 9500 you get 30 and so on.

Oh that is great, should save a lot of time, thanks for taking the time to explain.

Thanks for the clarification...

I get your complaint but you're already inefficient. Autofill and presets are there to be used and make you more efficient. Not using either one is just holding yourself back.

So you are suggesting that I am "holding myself back" by not being willing to spend on more presets and waste tools using autofill. Brilliant!! If you don't hear the sarcasm dripping, you are not listening.

It was me that gave you a strategy to use the new screan, and i didnt say to auto fill and waste tools, you just red it wrong, and then again after i explained it in detail, you save the chests and auto fill the troops in after, simple, you only need 2 presets, 1 for the first wave, tools and troops, usually all ranged if nomads, and then save another with just chests, copy to all and use autofill to fill in the troops, you wouldnt waste tools.

and glory hits shouldnt have a set preset, you wana set them all differently, Im not explaining that tho,.

3 presets is a good start, always have a pvp one handy

It was there on the very first update of the attack screen, but has yet to come back. It would be really great to see the number of tools used, vs the number of tools allowed above each section before. It would also be nice to be able to see how many troops you can have per flank just by glancing at the allowed total so you could set up faster. On the first update it was great because you could click on a ladder tool and it would take you to that exact tool above. Now if I click on the latter tool in the setup, and happen to have a shield next to it then you have to watch more and more to make sure that you aren't maxing out a tool that doesn't need it. Why do things that work keep getting broken and things that are broken never get fixed. Something we already had that worked great leaves, but things that didn't matter too much are now more important. Would love to meet the developers someday and those fiscally responsible for the game and let them know that their horrible ability to adapt and provide what the customer is asking for is causing people like myself and many, many of my friends to stop spending. I was spending over 1000 a month until all this crap came out and then I decided to just stop. HOpeful the numbers will make enough noise and the game will get fixed, or on the other side of that, nobody listens in which case I hope we all find the desire to pack up and leave and find something better. We are all like sheep being led to the slaughter. Here take this, use this, buy that, these are awesome changes. Spend more, o and some more and some more and som more. Keep spending because we keep telling you waht you want to hear and there is a .0000001111 chance that maybe we pull our heads out and atually listen to the paying customers to get them what they liked back and to stop finding every possible way to milk the lower end players for money. They didn't spend then, they wont spend now. Find a way to make spending more equal to non spenders. Soon it'll be 15-40 ruby whales battling it out until they are bored. HOpe that month of some increased sales really amped up your revenue, because if not I know my self and hundreds, if not thousands will also be quitting and going to games that don't charge 26,000 rubies for a few mesley banners that will last 1-2 attacks tops. I thought the group behind the game was intelligent, but as is all the world, GGE has focused on how much they can pull from our pockets, because perhaps they too know they have no intention to listen or change and actually do what the customers are asking so they are trying to collect all they can and run. We should all take all the promises of things to come as fraud and dispute with our card companies these illegitimant charges and let them take it up with tthe banks. I had an attack out last reset. 18k troops on a glory hit. I was watching it as I did some work and in seconds they disappeared into thin air. 18k LVL 10 mead troops and tools just vanished. GGE wouldn't listen. They wanted proof. I said yeah let me get my magic hat and and recreate this wizzardy(hacking) to get them back. Let's be real. I've been overcharged, Paid and not received many things. Sometimes have paid to get the item for an event and tney finally give it to me after the event, well day late dollar short, for most. Laws broken left and right and all we ask for is that you listen, pay us back for your thievery and keep making the game better as you follow back to the direction it was in years ago. I don't want to see the game go, but since 2012 I've never heard so many other angry players, and anger is somewhat good in this instance because it means peopole want it to work, but it'll take some changes and some hard work and we'd like to see, how it pans out. Until then. Freeze out the spending everyon. Stop buying. The more we buy the more they think it's fine. Revolt!!! ha ha. NO but for real. It wont change unless the buying members put their foot down and say enough is enough. Question is, how mnany are actually there yet. I hop we find out soon before we all waste more money and get them the payout they are waiting on to jump and run. They know the game can't last forever, especially while under such heave ridicule from the high majority of its members. Good luck to you all and I hope, your eyes are openened and you start to listen to your customers. Business 101, customer is always right. Hate to have the 180 players left saying I told you so as we all march on to the clash of clans or even my little pony. Ha Ha. I hear her game only crashes once a year, not every couple days . Why you are at it fix customer support. They never call back. THey never answer questions, they never asssist. They do nothing. To the game I once loved playing, I hope for mine, and the few that are left that GGE pulls it together before it's too late. Witnessing first hand just how bbadly the struggle for power and money destroys you. Some of this may not makes sense, but I typed as fast as I could before I fell asleep to get it out there. Don't pull a Biden, and delete it. To think I was just about to spend 500 bucks on the nomad event and other things and then the warned reset that would take place today in the afternoon took place in the morning. Epic. If ya'll neeed help tying your shoes, let me know. I'll tie 1 shoe for 450,000 rubies and the next shoes for 700,000 rubies. I'll even give you 5 paper airplanes, 2 pens, the lowest valued baseball card out there and some other cheap goods that you'll just want to throw away anyways so you can see how it feels to get a free gift that you would rather not pass on to your worst enenemy. Here guys. I know you spent millions of rubies and dollars, but please take these free made up items that will die or get stolen since we can't defend ourselves from the crazies. This has been fun. Now I'm just going to laugh because this probably wont evven make it up on the boards. Nobody likes to hear the truth. But I sure will bask in my enthusiasm if and when the times comes this whole game collaspses because. you ignored the most important goal of busiesss. Cheers!!! Good luck and thanks again for ingorning and doing nothiing about the single accidental click that cost me 350,000 rubies by accidentally healing all the mead troops that I couldn't fee in the first place so they of course had to die. That's like giving a 16 yr old a lambo, but of course there wouldn't be any gas, so they just sit and watchand wonder why they would be given something they can't even touch or drive. That's GGE for ya. Spend some more money folks. Not for me. I guess I did lie earlier. I did get an email back about one of my many losses. The emails said, please fill out a survey on the help received. I laghed so hard. What good could I possibly say about the that response and the many others I never actually got. EPIC Failure. Hire the old team back. IT was fun then at least and you didn't have to spend 20 grand a month to play a video game. Maybe to watch Microsoft. They sale games for 40-100 bucks. You can buy some stuff for some of those games, but in what worlld iis it talked about and pushed upon their customers that they need to buy things to play. I really hope it gets fixed before we all wind up in courct with a class action disposing the GGE wackaroocrew of their lives and false statments to get all the wrongful money taking. Hurry buy this before it expires, but wait, we wont give it to you in time to use before it expires so you just waisted 100.00 on those affluence tickets . Can I get my money back then since you said I got them and I couldn't use them in time because your crappy ass server delayed and I didn't get them. OH no that's just an issue with the internet. LOl. Scam artists. The time will soon come. I hope it gets better before it gets worse, but mainly I hope to see the greed driven bastards broke, in jail, or writing the once large amount of people some sort of apology and severance for keeping their game alive far, far, far longer than it ever should have. Rant over. Please don't be fooled. They are horrible people with no interest in giving back what they take. Good luck.

someone spending 1000 a month is dumber than this update ever will be hahaha, go and live your life bro, 1000 a month what are you doing m8.

Who are you to say that? Some are swimming in cash and enjoy the game. Hating on people who have the money for it seems a little childish.

We should all take all the promises of things to come as fraud and dispute with our card companies these illegitimant charges and let them take it up with tthe banks. I had an attack out last reset. 18k troops on a glory hit. I was watching it as I did some work and in seconds they disappeared into thin air. 18k LVL 10 mead troops and tools just vanished. GGE wouldn't listen. They wanted proof. I said yeah let me get my magic hat and and recreate this wizzardy(hacking) to get them back. Let's be real. I've been overcharged, Paid and not received many things. Sometimes have paid to get the item for an event and tney finally give it to me after the event, well day late dollar short, for most. Laws broken left and right and all we ask for is that you listen, pay us back for your thievery and keep making the game better as you follow back to the direction it was in years ago. I don't want to see the game go, but since 2012 I've never heard so many other angry players, and anger is somewhat good in this instance because it means peopole want it to work, but it'll take some changes and some hard work and we'd like to see, how it pans out. Until then. Freeze out the spending everyon. Stop buying. The more we buy the more they think it's fine. Revolt!!! ha ha. NO but for real. It wont change unless the buying members put their foot down and say enough is enough. Question is, how mnany are actually there yet. I hop we find out soon before we all waste more money and get them the payout they are waiting on to jump and run. They know the game can't last forever, especially while under such heave ridicule from the high majority of its members. Good luck to you all and I hope, your eyes are openened and you start to listen to your customers. Business 101, customer is always right. Hate to have the 180 players left saying I told you so as we all march on to the clash of clans or even my little pony. Ha Ha. I hear her game only crashes once a year, not every couple days . Why you are at it fix customer support. They never call back. THey never answer questions, they never asssist. They do nothing. To the game I once loved playing, I hope for mine, and the few that are left that GGE pulls it together before it's too late. Witnessing first hand just how bbadly the struggle for power and money destroys you. Some of this may not makes sense, but I typed as fast as I could before I fell asleep to get it out there. Don't pull a Biden, and delete it. To think I was just about to spend 500 bucks on the nomad event and other things and then the warned reset that would take place today in the afternoon took place in the morning. Epic. If ya'll neeed help tying your shoes, let me know. I'll tie 1 shoe for 450,000 rubies and the next shoes for 700,000 rubies. I'll even give you 5 paper airplanes, 2 pens, the lowest valued baseball card out there and some other cheap goods that you'll just want to throw away anyways so you can see how it feels to get a free gift that you would rather not pass on to your worst enenemy. Here guys. I know you spent millions of rubies and dollars, but please take these free made up items that will die or get stolen since we can't defend ourselves from the crazies. This has been fun. Now I'm just going to laugh because this probably wont evven make it up on the boards. Nobody likes to hear the truth. But I sure will bask in my enthusiasm if and when the times comes this whole game collaspses because. you ignored the most important goal of busiesss. Cheers!!! Good luck and thanks again for ingorning and doing nothiing about the single accidental click that cost me 350,000 rubies by accidentally healing all the mead troops that I couldn't fee in the first place so they of course had to die. That's like giving a 16 yr old a lambo, but of course there wouldn't be any gas, so they just sit and watchand wonder why they would be given something they can't even touch or drive. That's GGE for ya. Spend some more money folks. Not for me. I guess I did lie earlier. I did get an email back about one of my many losses. The emails said, please fill out a survey on the help received. I laghed so hard. What good could I possibly say about the that response and the many others I never actually got. EPIC Failure. Hire the old team back. IT was fun then at least and you didn't have to spend 20 grand a month to play a video game. Maybe to watch Microsoft. They sale games for 40-100 bucks. You can buy some stuff for some of those games, but in what worlld iis it talked about and pushed upon their customers that they need to buy things to play. I really hope it gets fixed before we all wind up in courct with a class action disposing the GGE wackaroocrew of their lives and false statments to get all the wrongful money taking. Hurry buy this before it expires, but wait, we wont give it to you in time to use before it expires so you just waisted 100.00 on those affluence tickets . Can I get my money back then since you said I got them and I couldn't use them in time because your crappy ass server delayed and I didn't get them. OH no that's just an issue with the internet. LOl. Scam artists. The time will soon come. I hope it gets better before it gets worse, but mainly I hope to see the greed driven bastards broke, in jail, or writing the once large amount of people some sort of apology and severance for keeping their game alive far, far, far longer than it ever should have. Rant over. Please don't be fooled. They are horrible people with no interest in giving back what they take. Good luck.

It was there on the very first update of the attack screen, but has yet to come back. It would be really great to see the number of tools used, vs the number of tools allowed above each section before. It would also be nice to be able to see how many troops you can have per flank just by glancing at the allowed total so you could set up faster. On the first update it was great because you could click on a ladder tool and it would take you to that exact tool above. Now if I click on the latter tool in the setup, and happen to have a shield next to it then you have to watch more and more to make sure that you aren't maxing out a tool that doesn't need it. Why do things that work keep getting broken and things that are broken never get fixed. Something we already had that worked great leaves, but things that didn't matter too much are now more important. Would love to meet the developers someday and those fiscally responsible for the game and let them know that their horrible ability to adapt and provide what the customer is asking for is causing people like myself and many, many of my friends to stop spending. I was spending over 1000 a month until all this crap came out and then I decided to just stop. HOpeful the numbers will make enough noise and the game will get fixed, or on the other side of that, nobody listens in which case I hope we all find the desire to pack up and leave and find something better. We are all like sheep being led to the slaughter. Here take this, use this, buy that, these are awesome changes. Spend more, o and some more and some more and som more. Keep spending because we keep telling you waht you want to hear and there is a .0000001111 chance that maybe we pull our heads out and atually listen to the paying customers to get them what they liked back and to stop finding every possible way to milk the lower end players for money. They didn't spend then, they wont spend now. Find a way to make spending more equal to non spenders. Soon it'll be 15-40 ruby whales battling it out until they are bored.

someone spending 1000 a month is dumber than this update ever will be hahaha, go and live your life bro, 1000 a month what are you doing m8.

Who are you to say that? Some are swimming in cash and enjoy the game. Hating on people who have the money for it seems a little childish.

Protecting the investment I see, im not hating someone that spends money, im saying its ridiculess that he is spending 1000 a month to play a computer game, 99.9% of people will agree with me, and btw he doesnt want to spend that much, in his post he is tryng to say summit, 26k rubys for 2 hits from gold flags is just one of the many things he is tryng to say, but anyway spending 1000 a month is ridiculess, and judging from his post he doesnt seem like hes enjoying the game, it seems like he has a serious gaming addiction, and he is angry that GGE keep moving the goal posts, as too am I, building coms, getting aff tikets to make them stronger, but then things change like archmaster nomads, my stronger com, more waves is getting 10 times the loses, so we are not realy building stronger things really, Im not even getting into it, everyone can see it, some ignore it, some have no life and have played this everyday for 10 years, some cant let go, some I dunno genuinly want to spend that amount of money on a digital game, I just think 1000 a month is a little excessive tbh.

A subscription instead of in game purchase would fix this game in an instnat, fix the wars, fix the events, it would actually be a strategy game then, dunno how many players there are globaly but I would rather pay £5 a month to play and have it fair, if everyone had to pay £5 a month, instead of ingame purchase, maybe we would have a real game here, you could guarnatee, the top alliances the 1st in events, the winner of pvp, would be compleatly different people, except the few that had spent loads and got all the best things, before this never happening thing happened.

But this isnt about fixing a game or creating a game, this is a business that feeds on addiction, its a shame coz it is a good game to an extent, kinda , but when its a pay to win game there isnt really a strategy to win, its about whos the richest, sillyest or who has a proxy account, its a rich mans game really, if you can even call it a game i dunno what it is really, I just like building the coms, it was fun but when you find out PVP is just about replacing troops in a best seller shop and events is about money you realise summit, its just a social platform really to connect with people and I dunno have fun, but most of these posts dont seem like people are having fun, they seem angry, Im not tryng to be funny or insulting to anyone, in all honesty everyone seems angry but no one really cares.

Things keep changing. I dunno maybe people have more money than sense. but i kinda felt sik when i red he spends 1000 a month and that he was about to spend 500 bucks on one event nomads, i can believe it tho Ive seen scores of 20 million in nomads. I just think its shocking tbh, ive never played these types of games untill this game, used to play a plasation few years ago, cost £40 for a game and that was it, this tho needs constant funding to play, its very strange, I got addicted to call of duty modern warfar 2 back in the day, battling away on servival mode, i got to 63rd in the world but then realised the ones befroe me were hackers, then its just not a game anymore, but i realised i had an addiction and i said i would never play a game ever again, this was 12 years ago now tho, i was clean untill march this year lol.

bazzara (GB1) · 21.12.2022

it does seem many players have lost sight of what this is
its a game and thats all
maybe players when they where young never learnt to loss

Poseidon · 21.12.2022

It's not just a game, for many it's been a hobby for 10 years. I can name a lot of hobbies that cost a lot more per month than empire. And at the end of the day, everything that's expensive is a "stupid" purchase unless you can afford it.

bazzara (GB1) · 21.12.2022

a game is a game it can finish tomorrow and be packed away but a hobby is when you switch the lights off you still have something there or even able to sell
we all play this slightly different and for different reasons which is part of the fun

bazzara (GB1) · 21.12.2022

i do think also where we went down the pub on a friday night say and spent money there people dont go out now and spend there money on here instead

tbh pubs havnt got much more expensive, there relativly the same price, but tbh I don't think 90% of the people that play this, are the type that go to any pub at any time, I think most are people that are locked away in there bedroom with serious gaming addiction, not all of them, there are also a lot of older players, we forget how gambling is disguised in affluence tickets, the wheel of affluence, the blind gifts in the generals inn, many players or people spend what they haven't got to compete, as its the only way to progress, so they spend to get the items, some people get carried away, and with the constant offers being thrown at you every 10 mins, through an outdated message offer charging 5 times as much as the best seller or weather its a prime every few hours, or however that offer comes across, it is designed to make money, this is apparently a strategy game, but it is won by in game purchase, there is no satisfaction for winning and event or pvp, it is just about who had the most money, or who is savey enough to use a proxy account, there is very little strategy in this game, you could be the best player with the best strategy, but that means nothing as someone who has money to burn or an addiction will win, I wouldn't call that a game tbh, but we all sign up for it, the problem is we don't work it out until we have invested so much time into it, I know its a hobby for many, just think what you could have done with those 10 years of your life, but instead been on this all day every day, it is designed to keep you on all the time, people don't see it tho, I dunno, I think a lot of people are lonely or extravert types and use it more for the social aspect in chat etc.. I'm not here to insult anyone, I just think spending 1000 a month on a game is ridicules, and all the answers back to what I'm saying are failing to see what the person in question was saying, he was furious, that wasn't someone that did it as a hobby, that was someone who felt he had to spend to fill his addiction, making things cheaper wont do anything at all, it would just mean the scores would be even more unrealistic, the real reason everyone complains in this forum is because they like the game kinda, and they don't realise untill its too late that its pay to win, by the time they realise they have built a good account and put loads of money or time into it and cant let go, its the in game purchase that is the issue, if there was no in game purchase and we payd a subscription this would be a real strategy game, the winners on this game are not very good at the game they just have money to burn. I wouldn't exactly call this a game to be honest, it is won by the stroke of a credit card, nothing more. and then we could talk about proxy accounts paying a third of what we pay in events, we compeate against cheats paying less so they can get more, its just not really a game, theres no placement to compeate for, it is purchased. I like the game but im really starting to realise that its pointless, the events are won by money or a proxy, and pvp even if you win they just keep buying troops, its not really the game we sign up for, the root of all complaints, of all the negative posts in the forum, the root of all the angry customers, which looking through the forum seems to be endless, the root of all this is in game purchase, this game would be so much better if it was pay to enter not pay to win, £5 per month everyone pays the same, then we have a fair game.

Why do my spies have an 88 percent chance of getting caught when I spy a foriegn castle? It is making it rather difficult to play. What caused this issue? Is GGE aware and planning on fixing it?
