Is this about the frog thing? Is it just me or are frogs always the ones that are a bit glitchy? I've also had a problem when trying to make them move one square, but instead it just skips it and moves onto the next unit. I might be doing something wrong, but it's always with a frog.I have been playing with this, it is a display error only.
Ohh OK, I think I get it. So if I click on the square that I'm already on that means "stand your ground" and it skips to the next unit? With Frogs I'm only trying to click one square away, so I'm probably not clicking carefully enough. I'll keep that in mind.Lol I think that is just you. Plenty of my US Server friends rely on frogs, and that's a new one. Your 'stand your ground' command is the same as a pass the turn. You must choose with more care. That just shows, you need to do some manual fighting every week to keep up mousing skills hon.
As I am sure you appreciate we are able to look at very fine detail within the game as part of the nature of the tools available within the company.
Additionally general feedback that is coming to us makes the point of players saying they have more time with the 4 now to 1 encounter per province and are finding that because of this they are trying manual combat in many cases for the very first time.
Personally I like this move as I prefer manual combat having played Forge of Empires for many years prior to finding Elvenar. But I appreciate that this is not for everyones game play.
Just popping some facts here about whats being seen and I would rather be up front about the reality here.
Haha, what a lot of flannel. That's the CM trying to ingratiate himself with the players.
Translation - Players on the US server shout the loudest.
I think it has nothing to do with US or any other "shouts" in forums, but it is about the stats of how many people have abandoned the game since the introduction of new tournaments. We see spaces opening up in the top FSs every week and not filled as fast as before.
If they had any issue with people leaving the game then they wouldn't knowingly put out a system that penalises the most advanced players.... and it is knowingly because we've been telling them and talking about it for about 3 months now.I think it has nothing to do with US or any other "shouts" in forums, but it is about the stats of how many people have abandoned the game since the introduction of new tournaments.

I see the same too. I've never seen so many spaces in top fellowships. Inno are driven by statistics on their screens so they may well have no idea how many people people are leaving the game unless they are looking at the fine detail of whether players are actually logging back in to play. I speak to so many people now who say they are "taking a break". Most of those people will not be back. They just don't necessarily want to say it's final.
So perhaps with whatever's happening now they are finally taking a look at some of this fine detail mentioned, but as everyone has been saying - why did it take 3 months of complaints and moving onto the US server before they take this interest? I guess because there are a bigger number of them so they are now seeing a greater impact in terms of the percentage of all players.
Sadly it's unlikely that there will be much noticeable difference here as the average player has no idea that placing those expansions is now a detriment to them. They may continue to spend - maybe even spend more - until they realise that they've run out of patience with it and quit.How many "expansions" have been sold in the group 6+ months, and how does that develop trend develop?
and an interesting one how many players will pay for expansions in chapter 17 compared to 16 when it's released on live.

Yes, it seems like @MinMax Gamer got to much the same end result (within 0.2% accuracy) with a different formula which, by the sounds of it, was much simplified to do the same job.It seems to be that NightGuest checked the formula that many high end players are basing their complaints on, and found it flawed. He hints Inno's actual system is a good deal more complex, and the mods here have tried telling us this.
I do welcome tweaks, but I have very little interest in them doing something that makes it slightly easier again. I want them to come to terms with the flaws in the system. For me personally, it can be as hard as they like so long as you can see that progress means improvement.I welcome further tweaks, and feel hopeful about the future.

It also seems that the players who were able to analyze this for themselves had better developed cities on the US server than folks did here, and were better able to challenge the new tournament formula.

Agree totally. @Lelanya I know @randblade deleted AWs and I calculated with him. His SS reduced as predicted by the minmax model.His exact words were :
What's more, I have been looking at the various formulas that have been made by the community for the tournament system and cannot verify that they are entirely accurate. That said, I'm not saying that they are definitely wrong, what I mean is that the entire thing is rather complex and I will give you some answer only when I am certain of being correct (the last thing I want to do is look like an idj-stick getting facts wrong).
It would seem to me that your conclusion is very premature.
