Did anyone even tried this? All the data is now tunnel through lev 50 perspective using MG and Vet generals. Did somebody tried doing DP, WOTS, IOTP and SFTR, Horsback with tavern generals only? How huge the losses will be on those? How long will it take to finish one?
And last and most important, will new players be even able to progress and how slow?
Lev 50ies will adapt no doubt. How about players under 30 without Vets, MG MA's...?
try asking on the test server forums
I like the answer here for players to see :) From someone on test server.
Yes there was at least 1 person i recall on test that was running nothing but tav gens and only troops available to lvl 26 or lower. however was not able to get past a cretin point with available troops because they would get killed before even having a chance to attack by first strike/splash dmg. (dont remember exact adv or anything like that though sorry)
Thank you very much Bushy. I was talking about this with guildies and all of under 30 players were concerned about this. Appreciate the info.
Probably Horseback adventure. They have a ton of First Strike unitsQuote:

How will people get to lev 50 if they can't finish adventure without gem purchased general?
I dont think they realize this will require thousands of test hours by people that are able to produce guides to work out adventure balance....(most people dont qualify - see 4k elites lost doing an adv as an example).
I think BB don't realize a lot of things. Making changes to combat that makes impossible to do adventures for players under 30 without a gem bought general (Veteran) is just unacceptable. And how did BB even allow a change like this to go to test server is beyond me. No confidence at all... I would rant more but I just don't want to. I lost respect for the devs completely.
I think we should be more helpful to the designers. I have a large inventory of planks, pine, hard and exotic. I suggest we get some players together and using my planks build a giant shelf. We give this shelf to the designers so they can quickly place this combat balancing program on the shelf, and leave it there.
Who wants to help build the shelf?
lol great idea Wimpy :) I would also donate some tools. So every morning before they start thinking about what to do with their game, they can knock a tool on their head...
The new game is around the corner. will be soon avail for beta testing. Guess this the devs way for showing us the door. Get your asses out of this dump and come to our new game:) Leave all your gems here and be our future cash cows in the next one. I tell you what. If you transfer my gems to the new one with 1:1 value exchange.. maybe I will consider...
Me too.
You are all right, and basically, BB does not really give a crud about the balance of the players. Keep the coiners, the rest will chaff to side. They just do their own thing.
Funny note is that the one thing that they are claiming to have implemented due to 'player request' is those stupid red tree decorations... Let's see, yes there are like 3-4 entries for such a thing. Funny they took that one and ignored the many legit suggestions involving game play. Guess the ones wanting red trees must be known coiners, idk.
Nah, the red trees are much easier to make, than for example a slider in barracks allowing us to train more than 25 troops... This is an infinite enigma :)Impossible task, the unicorn of game design .. and such.. Yes, I am sarcastic. :)
I think they don't want us to be able to use guides. Otherwise, why all of the camps that intercept even if they are already fighting and the disappearing/reappearing roads?Quote:
