And then you proceed to agree with me on pretty much everything except the sustainability.
Could it be done? Yes. If you have the provinces, you could do it.
Sustainability? I say no, you say yes.
Long time? Yup, you even said so yourself; years of scouting.
Massive effort? Oh yeah, 149 provinces right. That's a lot of effort under the old system.
So really Gargon, you agree on almost every point.
And no; this form of tournament is NOT better. It never will be as long as it punishes people for growing their city. One-click provinces does not compensate for that, at all, and never will.
You said 2 things:
- Somebody did 40k in a tourney, I say no.
- you said it would be unsustainable, I say it would have been.
since I didn´t say I disagree with anything else, I suppose I agreed with everything else you said indeed.
Oh and I don´t necessarily think the new tourneys are better than the old ones, I would have a very hard time choosing either old or new as "better" since both are horrible. What I meant to say is that i like the new ones better, they are more fun, mostly because the difficulty went up, the old ones were so insanely dumb with autofighting entire tourneys with the same 5 units. Just imagine the last steel tourney: 1800 encounters, every single one of them I used 5 Rangers and hit autofight. I would never want that nonsense back, I rather delete half of my AWs than go back to that! I prefer to get 10k points over 20k points if it means I don´t have to go back. I get half the KP/relics/runes/enchantments? Yes please as long as I don´t have to physically hurt my fingers anymore and instead am allowed to use my brain on the occasional difficult encounter (or hit cater if I don´t want to think).
So I guess if I have to use your words: Yes 1-click provices do compensate for stopping city growth, but I find those are the rather less important changes... I would say: Increased challenge does make up for a completely stupid multiplicative formula that no dev proud of his job can ever approve of.
