Forinstance if I have 1 guy that kills one guy, and I'm fighting an enemy of the same when we are 1v1 we will likely both die, but if I send in 2v1 or 5v1, it doesn't makes sense that the 1 guy who is outnumbered would still kill 1 guy.

Believe it or not this will actually work in your favor eventually.

I have to wait a day or so to rebuild the army (watch them get destroyed), do my handful of upgrades then log out. When a game isn't engaging (giving me other things to do) beyond some set of tasks I tend to lose interest. I'm sure there are others who feel the same way.

Once you start to get built up and as long as you are being efficient there is actually quite a bit to do. There is a point after the business of the tutorial where things do slow down. But if you do things right and have a bit of patience with fighting those bandit camps it really helps move things along. (i.e. dont send waves in until you have crushing numbers and if possible defeat camps in only one round of combat, if you dont to this it drags things out)

I would like to see banning of scammers who do reverse trading or send outrageous trades which benefit them vastly with the friend function. While i know the attitude towards this will be "You should be careful while trading" and "Only add people who you trust", as humans we know we cannot always be patient for a hopeful trade or something alike and we do want to grow our friendship circle to buff, help them manage their island and so on. Thus, there should be a system of banning these people (even their IP). I have played other games where this has been implemented and it, while not stopping scamming, reduces it vastly since they know they can be banned for it. I am sad this game does not punish scamming and a this rule does not change, we will see a rise in scamming accounts being created to fund a main account. This is not just a plea from 1 player but loads who have been scammed and are targeted each day by these scums.

If this problem continues, this game will be a haven for scammers and people will ragequit since neither the mods nor devs do anything about it. If we are to make a better community, we should ban people who scam forever so that they cannot taint our wonderful community. I hope you will take this into consideration and hopefully with your help we can be a civil community and not one of anarchy and chaos. Thank you for reading this, it would mean a lot for the CEO community.

I would like to suggest transport generals. Able to move with 1000 troops or so, but can only move. Can't attack.

Randomize which unit is getting attacked based on those alive at the start of the round. In real life soldiers all attack at the same time. If Person A attacks Target 1, Person B is not waiting to see if Target 1 is killed before deciding to attack Target 1 or Target 2, and Person 3 is not waiting for Person B to finish before deciding to attack Target 1, Target 2 or Target 3.

Melee fighters should have a chance (say 75%) to switch to a new target if their first choice will be killed by someone else as they have up until the last moment to change their aim, but could be too far away from a valid target for that round so this isn't a guarantee. Missile weapon users should NOT have a chance to change targets if their target is being targeted by more than enough attackers to achieve a kill as you can't redirect an arrow or bullet once it has been launched.

In real life, if 50 soldiers armed with missile weapons are faced with 25 targets, it is unlikely that every target will have 2 soldiers aiming at it. Some will not be targeted, some will have several targeting him. It is even possible, but unlikely, that someone will be shot by 10 or more of the soldiers. This is why troops involved in formations using volley firing each selected a target directly in front of them....to limit the number of people aiming at the same target.

This will make battles less predictable, even if each type of attacker has a preferred target type. Currently it is too easy to send a force strong enough to guarantee a 1 round battle and know ahead of time roughly what your losses will be.

Also, it would be great if a bandit camp could respawn if the bandit leader for that area is still alive (say a 10% chance every day). Have 10% of the leader's camp head out to recolonize a camp. Then have all camps that are below full strength grow by one member every fifteen minutes until they return to full strength.

And PLEASE increase the rewards for destroying a camp so we have a chance of recouping more than a small fraction of the value of the troops we lose.

I have 3 quick suggestions; If any are repeats it only under scores the continued need~

1) The help tab should be for HELP only. Folks who use it as their personal spam "i'm selling X" channel should be reprimanded and removed from the tab
2) Allow the trading of Adventures in the Trade Tab.
**3) AND MOST IMPORTANT - Adventures buyable with map fragments for the under lvl 32 crowd!


Edit - Uthren did give me the idea for #2. I just type faster =)

I dont know if this has been suggested yet

Trade:
Allow the posting of items (buffs, decorations) and Adventures in the trade tab

[Mladiatus]

i would say think about making VIP packs that you can get with gems in the trader box like 7days up to 30 days VIP packs.

Eggcellent idea.

I am so tired of these people scamming. Also tired of all the apologists for the behavior.
We are building communities and want to have fair play as the benchmark.

What about creating a 2 tiered friends list? One being trade contact, the other trusted friends?

Or how about a pop-up notice saying a trade was unsolicited and not from the board? Then at least we could stop and take a second look at it.

I am not saying they should be banned for it since it technically is not against the rules. Some of us have no problem putting these people out in chat and on the forums. I for one will post in chat repeatedly to inform others when I hear there is a scammer operating. Not my favorite thing to do, as it annoys people who don't care about this issue.
Finally, barring any official sanction of this type of behavior, all we can do is keep our friend list cleared out and decline all unsolicited friend requests.

You know, I really respect your right to hold this opinion, but I think it is unfair.
First of all, the HELP tab is an open chat that is for everyone and anyone to use.
If there was a trade chat then I would say yes, keep the trade notices in the trade tab.
Secondly, who is going to define help? Someone looking to trade me coins for a noble house deed may be helped by knowing I am trading them.
There are any number of ways that people can be helped in this game. Not just asking 'How do I make a bronze sword' for the umpteenth time.
On that note, the help tab should not become the realm of one guild or group of players to dictate to others over and over what they can and cannot say or ask in the help tab. There are a few who do just that. Not forgetting to recognize the stellar work done by many people in the help tab.
It's just like people telling noobs who ask questions in Global to go to the help tab. That's foolishness. Everyone has the right to ask for the 10,000th time in global, what do roads do? Besides which, there are so many players with so many questions, the people in help could never answer them all.

I do like the idea of trading adventures in the trade tab.

anyway, that's my 2 gold coins worth.
Hopefully I dint offend anyone too badly.
