Test server results - IOTP with tavern generals only

Using only MA and 3 tavern generals:

"total losses 178r 237m 15s"


Using only tavern generals:

"With only common gens total losses were 368R 202M 150LB"

cool

hahahahaha


ha

Reading that without any pseudo blocking...amazing.

240M thats 2400 Iron swords. Lev 5 IS maker cranks 560 per 12hrs cycle 1k with irm buff. It means that you will need 2.5 DAYS to recover the losses with 1 IS maker (buffed 5x times with Irma's over the duration). It also means you will need 2400 Iron bars to make those swords. It also means you will need about 5k Iron to make them (5x irmas on iron smelter). Which also means you will need to find (1hr each) build and upgrade (pricey)- 10 Iron Mines (seems buffing them with irmas could cut it to 8 or so).

You put a quick math in your head. How often will you be able to do IOTP? Granted all those calculations are set for lev 5 building (except for Iron mines). Imagine how long will it take to reoccupy losses for a lower level player who only have lev 2-3 production? Once a week for IOTP? And nothing else because.. well you wiped your militia - which will be ABSOLUTELY needed for any adventure.

That is what those numbers mean. Have fun playing...

Posting real results form test server and their implications (Simple math of production) is not panicking. You need to know what those changes mean and voice your opinion. Or sit quietly and start wining when the combat balance get to life servers. Might be a bit late thou...

geesh..I have 1 iron weaponsmith only. I guess I won't be able to play this game anymore. :(

the BBs have stated they're not nearly finished with the adjustments! they ARE listening to feedback, but it takes time to recode everything. lets give them time to make adjustments to the chains before we jump to conclusions

oh and plumz, thanks for your hard work. we need more testers using just tavern gens and soldiers/under to see what it will actually take for lower levels to do the advs with the new system

ok, waiting...

So ... anyone who wants to do the "Do IOTP with only recruits" achievement should do it NOW! (BTW, if you're considering doing that, you can kill every camp with a load of 250 R -- and some losses, except the last one which needs a 200 R wave first.) Send 1000 R and you'll be all set.... until the combat changes happen and then.. well....

all achievements done.
waiting for the time achievements.
