For me, that's all that's holding me back - need to align certain quests with tournament stages
Having said that, it's not that much of a drag, at least this time around. I should be able to finish 106 quests on live by tomorrow, and will only wait for #107 (75 tournament provinces) until next Tuesday. I would be able to wrap it up this week if willing to negotiate map encounters (I have enough pre-scouted). This obviously requires pre-planning with info from beta, and some space to spare - I have temporarily nuked most of my mana (over)production. All this is with almost full 7 farms/16 fields Halflings settlement. So it's still possible to complete this event in less than a week - even though it is definitely more difficult than the Phoenix one.
I shared my personal experience so that you would understand that I'm not arguing for myself. Most players seem to only think about themselves on the forums so I wanted to be clear that I'm not.So basically, for a player who did everything right, there is a reasonable expectation of victory
It's not as simple as that. The players with 5-day scouts are almost exclusively original players who had the rules changed on them after they scouted to the max expansions, and since then for years have had "scout only" quests in events each one compounding the problem. Maybe it was "a choice" but there was no possibility to make an informed decision since the rules changed later.
Not really. It's more like a well-rounded player completed all available content except 1 quest type so they kept doing that while waiting for the next expansion. Years later the developer changed everything and gimped them for doing the only available thing for them to do.
By the looks of it, total is the - well - total requirement for the whole event. Max is maximum in a single quest.
You kinds of getting the worst of both worlds this way
You scout non-stop, so you lock in your ever growing costs (scouting time, cost of negotiation). But at the same time you don't get the benefit (until much later) - extra expansions, relics, KP etc.
I did much the same(scouting 24/7), but events came frequently and I progressed quickly enough that I never had more than a dozen or so open.
According to the in-game message, negotiating and fighting costs are solely determined by the scouting cost - and are fixed at the time of initiating scout. Scouting costs only go up with additional scouted provinces, and are ratcheted down once in a while with Advanced Scout tech. Squad Size should have no impact on that. On the contrary, increased squad size helps winning in fighting on the map - if you fight there.
(INNO loves all of those players). If true players play the game without having cheats (knowing the quests ahead of time), how many do you think would be able to complete due to the fact of so many rule changes over the years (mistakes made by previous teams without a good solution) have made it very difficult if the player is at the current end game?
What would you do without any events after chapter 14? I would quit from boredom. How would you "city build" without new buildings?
I did it on Beta with no spoilers, around 10 log ins per week, 4-5 expansions for buildings and used some timers because I'm impatient. It's not that hard. I've never bought diamonds for anything.Take away the ability to know what the quests are for an event and you ALL are screwed unless you pay to win
Like what? the scout quests have alternate options, so I'm not sure what your complaint its here?
Ouch. That’s really unpleasant news. Thank you for sharing that. (And I hope it will get fixed in the future.)I have just had the quest to get 4 enchantments. Had 3 done through the tournament collected a petfood from crafting. Why does this not count? as it shows up in Enchantments
