Hello,
First off all, why did these sudden changed not get polled? Why wasn't the opinion asked from the players?
As stated in the message it was put together fast to solve an issue, well I am terribly sorry to say so it is a very bad solution.
I am pleased that Bitmeup is working on making the game better, but these updates made some aspects of the game a lot worse.
Here's why:
1) This is a strategy game, it is important that your opponent does not know how many troops you have, so he can sometimes expect a surprise, now all those numbers are in an overview?
2) When someone builds a big wall, a bigger player can no longer help it down? So his castles can not be taken?
3) The sudden changes to the senate screw up a lot of people!
a) You now need 100 extra building places to build senators and keep the building at that level?
b) When not keeping the senate that high, you need 10-15 attacks to take a castle?
4) Nothing is done about the standard settings when taking a castle? Maybe a default option should be put in place?
5) The bandit event seems one big mess and very unclear.
6) Ongoing attacks just remain, so when someone takes a castle, you can no longer recover it??
I hope some of these points can be changed to help the game.
Kind regards.
