Quote from Jendrzej1

all of us want to play damara. But you should also take into account that maintaining servers, maintenance costs.
somehow you have to earn a server maintenance.
This is a strategy game so it's not " pay to win "

Soon you will be playing with yourself Jendrzej1.

I don't mean this sarcastically.

A lot of players here agree with the statements from Urotsukidoji, Vanmorris and others. Game pleasure is not growing, it is lower then ever. Continue... and you will be playing with yourself.

Buying troops, buying buildingplaces, buying magic spells, buying gold, buying..buying..buying..

I thought our world was called "the crusades", maybe a better name is "treasure hunting" or "where ever the good takes us".

It is NOT about strategic anymore, it is about spending and buying.

Lost a lot of my castles to JG group because I was on holiday last 2 weeks. My vs was so busy with defending, he completely forgot my account. Last week we made plans to strategic fight back, but now due to the update I am the only one who can attack him back. The fun of the game was to attack a bigger player with the help of your (also not big enough) friends and to combine it to an interesting fight. With this update this is not possible anymore.

Would it be a good idea to put a holiday mode on an account?

For me.... Game pleasure is almost over.
