    Release the Veteran Marshal!

    It appears that TSO is attempting to generate interest in the Expedition section of the game, and tbh, adding population to the Water Castle was an excellent start! Thanks,

    Now, let's consider adding that Veteran Marshal that was once on the burner. Adding him to the mix offers players a variety of options in how they can attack their colonies since he offered 1/2 recover period, 100 troop attack and 1/2 speed travel. The Veteran Marshal would surely open up opportunities for different strategies, garnering more interest in the Expedition aspect of the game.






    RELEASE THE VETERAN MARSHAL!



    Thank you for your consideration.

    Ha-Ha. Well, I did not suggest that, thought I would leave some aspects of the decision open.... Would make sense if it was available between levels 10-15... also up of decisions is what/how he would be 'purchased'... merchant for valor like the 5th Marshal? ...gems only? ...award for attaining specified level?

    However, on another note, I heartily disagree that the Black Marshall is earned when he has no use, though I will agree that it would have been nice getting him somewhere between 20-25 (There is only 1 (or 2 maybe) camps where his capacity makes any difference); as you reach level 30 in Expeditions, your motive to play them is more focused on perhaps the various Rankings with a minor part being the resources. Maxed out on experience for Expeditions lets you change focus, and probably stay at tier 3 where both Veteran and the Black Marshall would prove extremely useful if used well.

    That's the point I am making. Getting him earlier would, to me, give some incentive to actually keep going with the Expedition stuff. I think I can speak for most of us, at least at current version, that people will (now) aim for L30 to get the Castle to max level and then pretty much drop it cold turkey again, which means the Black Marshall instantly becomes obsolete to said demographic. For the other poor souls that compete in those pathetic rankings, sure he will still be an asset....but really, have you not paid attention to how those rankings are comprised of? It's an insult

    Haven't checked how the XP gain/leveling is since we get the sector XP as well, chances are I'd guesstimate the 20-25 range to be a decent fit into the acquisition of said Marshall. 30 is simply too late.

    Other than that, have you recently done any Expeditions? Mind giving me a status update as to what has/hasn't been fixed yet? I think(?) the speed issue is gone but dunno.

    I named my Black Marshal "Never Used" because after I hit level 30, I just focused on other aspects of the game.
    One army. Pretty please.

    lol, okay. I still run them to keep my 6x slots full of regular and Huge colonies to defend... still want those cheesements. Plus with the renewed interest, seems that more players are playing Expeditions.... which is good.

    Wish BB would at least respond to show that they had even seen this thread.

    PS - My Black Marshal's name is: Maurice Gamelin. I named all my specialists by theme; the marshal's theme is the worst generals of all time.

    I have nothing against colonies, in fact I prefer them to missions. The somewhat random camps making you think and not blindly follow a guide is a breath of fresh air. I guess I got put off by how it is pretty much impossible to successfully defend a colony, making that achievement a PITA. Then again, looking at where I stand with 63 conquers and 20 successful defenses, perhaps it is all in my head. And with the castle giving population and increased play, it might be the right time if I was interested in achievements.

    That said, we have digressed from the point of the thread. In my opinion, while having a marshal that will recover in time for a second round in a colony would be nice, especially when I am not paying attention and make a colony ending mistake, it will once again make it harder to defend. After all those 20 defenses I have had are mostly people looking at the colony and deciding nope without even attacking. Guess a good round on the test server would be needed.
