I like everything. Except the things that are stupid.

I spent 38,000 gold running a colony all the way through with blocks but defeating every camp. I did the math on the troops lost. The adventure pays out 77 granite every 6 hours. If I get to keep the colony the entire time its worth 2156 granite, at market value that's worth 10,780 gold. I decided to attempt my best to block and walk around every camp possible and only kill the map boss or a few other camps. Using only attack infantry and minimum attack cavalry (Attack archers are useless, they loose more troops vs infantry than infanty vs infantry... I dunno I didn't write the math code) and it costs me about 3,000gc in the most favorable of circumstances. If that's true it takes a minimum of 3.5 days to recoup your money invested before you have the chance to start making profit.
I dunno why, it's much to expensive, to attack and take from another player but keeping the colony for 4 days is a task. This math only applies to the Granite colonies. If you get outside of granite (currently going for 4.5-6gc/a piece) then I do not believe you can make money controlling any other colony for the entire 7 days.
Unlike other complaints I don't care if the icons appear to be the same as other, or the fact that their is minimum player interaction in a feature labeled pvp. I enjoy colonies and the new speed mechanics and added blocking troops. I do believe this feature is a great money sink and is not rewarding at all for participating. I can aquire 10k granite in a 3 days at half the cost running other adventures multiple times a day.
The cost of cavalry and archers (again worthless troop) cost far to much to make, and the payment of resources need increased drastically. I would do both of those things if you have any hope of many people participating in the feature. Thats' not to say I wont be, i'll be taking granite and experimenting with marble/titanium but to really get players into taking lands from others and going into the colonies time and time again you need some major improvements. Those colonies I take are un-owned not cause I don't want to take from others and brag but because taking a colony from other players is really just a lack of knowing simple math.
yup waste of time and resources im just gonna stick to regular game
From what I'm reading Tinaras, PVP would be more rewarding if the rewards were improved? :-)
guys this is way too complicated and hard. i can never figure this out and i have to stay away from this one.
I've never been able to figure out PVP -- some of us don't have 'military' minds... and since they are all different you cant just grab a guide... i've never conquered a pvp colony - not ONCE have i been successful - not even on the tutorials... soooo who wants to constantly fail at something -- this is supposed to be fun.... i'm doing PVP.
