Changes to Game Combat and the Combat Simulators

With the changes to the combat system coming with the December 8th Server Maintenance, we will soon be experiencing what amounts to a completely new game as far as combat goes. The changes being made will cause many of the troops that we are used to sending to behave differently once the changes have been made.

Needless to say, all of the combat simulators will also have to be changed as well. I am currently working on getting the simulator at [link invalid - removed] updated to handle the changes in the order of attack, and will make it live as soon as I have it ready. Unfortunately, I have been unable to determine if this change is affecting JUST our player troops, or if it is the bandits as well.

For this reason, I am asking anyone willing to post the results of their combat here (once the servers have been updated) so that I can compare the results with the simulator once it is updated. I should have it ready in the morning, and will update this thread once it is. The information I need most is this:

• What troops you sent
• What troops you were facing
• What adventure you were in, or if you were on your own island
• Whether or not a tower was involved
• Most importantly, what order the attacks occurred in. (who attacked what, and in what order)

If you are mainly sending recruits against Scavenger, then you don't need to post it, but if the attack includes Cavalry, Archers, or Soldier types on either side, then it would be REALLY helpful if I can make sure that the changes I am making are correct. With your help, we can make sure that the simulator continues to be as accurate and helpful as possible. Additionally, any info on the new Christmas Adventures including any new bandits and their specs (and special abilities) would also be VERY helpful since i will begin working on getting those adventures working as soon as I have the updates to the other troops done.

EDIT: I have re-worked the priority so that the Melee Units should be in the right order now. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks in advance,

The Christmas adventure is now up at [link invalid - removed] if you have any problems, email me and let me know.

Thanks,

PS. I could still use some simulations posted here to make sure that things are still working the way we expect them to.
