@SoggyShorts The bears and phoenix are not overpowered.
+50% attack damage for all trooop types is more than a level 30 needles+Abbey+HF+toads+VS
combined.
Getting those 150 levels on 5 wonders should take you
years, but instead, every player gets a Fire chicken that is 25% MORE powerful than all of them combined.
That's not overpowered?
if they were so game breaking that they caused such a problem for years to come why did they not simply reduce the benefits of those buildings?
I take it you mean actually reduce the +50% to something lower? Go ahead, take away something that players earned and some even spent real $$$ on, see how well that works out.
They did "reduce the benefits" through inflation. If you accidentally give your players too much money, you can't take it away without making them angry, but you can raise the prices making that money worth less. That's what they did: Phoenix way too powerful, make tournament much much harder. Inflation.
