Inno - you keep asking for our feedback but don't seem to do anything with it. You've seen plenty of feedback that the new battle system is broken and no longer viable. If you want to keep it, at least let us delete buildings like the barracks so we can free up space for other buildings.
THIS! If I have to negotiate the rest of my game life, at least let me get rid of the buildings associated with battle so that I can build more factories to afford the cost of negotiations. I didn't realize until I read Matts comment that we couldn't sell the barracks.
You seem to be forcing us into a corner to play the game the way you want us to, but my friends, that is not the way that games go. Yes, many games have rules you have to adhere to in order to play the game the way the game designer intended, but those rules should be implemented BEFORE THE GAME IS RELEASED. I understand that the game grew beyond what you expected, but that isn't our fault, and the game should have stayed in Beta just a bit longer. I am not going to beat this dead horse anymore, but since you are changing rules now, at least change them to accommodate us, as well as yourselves. Let us tear down bldgs like the barracks, and the MA. At least give us 1/2 our diamonds back, or some other compensation for them.
YOU are changing the rules mid game, you are going to have to bend a bit here if you want to keep your player base. Just sayin... *hugs* to all, players, admins, developers and anyone else that likes hugs. If you don't like them, just step out of the way.
