Well, of course they are not fully blocked but the encounters help getting KP fast when you need them and it helps you reach new neighbours to visit and be visited. The point is beeing able to choose between doing that by negotiating or by fighting. People who spended months to build a lot of factories have no room for armories and won't start raising them and are not able to even raise them to level 20 if they aren't at orc age... The point is playing a game whose rules are changing in the middle and that's not fair. If they want all of us to play all the same like robots, with ever changing rules that will invalidate months of work, they just have to program computers to play without us. What is unfair to choose negotiating if you are not able to play fights ? The fights are not at anyone reach and are completely boring, you have to be trepanned, affected by Alzheimer or mentaly diminished to enjoy them... Isn't that supposed to be a GAME ? Aren't games supposed to be funny ? The death penalty is debatable, playing with someone's feet isn't.
Here, we can't use strong words like anywhere in the world because it curls english asses hairs, some people are thinking that all that's around violence is evil... What do you think is the most ridiculous ? Do you think killing is good for kids, even virtualy ? Perhaps we should add some terrorist units with bomb belts or rapists to have more fun ?
Sensitive much?
But I do agree with you changing game play, majorly after one year... mandatory this, that... Too many restrictions. Nobody likes that. It will be even harder for new players in 12 months. I quit FoE because it made no sense. You are even more crippled with making progress. Difficulty of sectors
? Like they don't know their own game (anymore). Latest era is just fighting from one to another side with "rockets."
My guess would be they totally miscalculated with goods productions In Elvenar. 700% bonus? People figured it out soon is wise too build boosted manufactures only.
Now restricting people with orcs. Because if they lowered bonus...
MA: Makes sense if you have "unlimited" relics supplies... But you should save those relics for AW... and most of them makes no sense...
Like I said few times here and on beta they will force us to build all AW. So imagine new player that start next year about this time... His progress will be even more difficult then ours...
Maybe there should be just BETA server until game is stable enough and nobody should be able to pay there. You would get some diamonds here and there. To test new features... But no... morality gone... vision is profit...
But then spending 1, 2 years on BETA and when international servers goes online and start there from scratch
.
Every update introduce more new bugs.
I guess they don't want new players to join. Pretty much new players drop out after have to upgrade Buildings to level 3. From 1 min to 90 min upgrade. Nice leap... I guess somebody used too many calculators there... output was... 80085 and they all got distracted...
Or if you want to play they don't want you play the game. Just buy diamonds and stare at the buildings like idiot.
