Yeah. Forum mods said in the past that less than 1% of players ever visit the forums.No, no it really isn't.

@Varzaak To be fair, I don't think you'd be 'screwing someone's head off' in real life either...unless you're saying the military regularly attacks its own members despite the outward appearance of integrity and comaraderie? Of course I realize you're probably just using an expression but I wanted to point out that it doesn't send a good message to say you're more than willing to physically attack people in real life.
Anyway, why is this tournament in particular an issue for you? Fundamentally speaking it's no different from the others. 4 different enemy units, with 3 being weak to one unit type and 1 being a 'counter' that's strong against the unit the other 3 are weak to. Every tournament follows this same formula, and as far as number of units goes they're all the same as well. There was definitely a notable increase in the cost/difficulty of fighting in crystal with the addition of Frog Princes, but I wonder: Would you be here commenting on it if they'd always been a part of the tournament instead of being a new addition?
We get it. These are the intended units. Understood. You really don't need to keep repeating that these are the intended units.
Maybe a cooking analogy will do the trick. Just because I finally got a metric measuring set and am now able to use a 15ml measuring spoon instead of a tablespoon does not mean that my recipes suddenly ought to have more baking powder in them.
Changing to the "correct" opposition units does not perforce mean that the province was intended to, or should be, harder than it was the day before.
While there have been lots of iterations in this conversation of what the enemy should or shouldn't be, my complaint is the degree to which the terrain favours the enemy units. Maybe I just didn't do sufficient manual fighting in the past to see it, and the crystal provinces have always been laid out this way. but I am finding a high percentage of layouts where some of the heavy units can't have any effect on the combat for the first 4+ rounds, while taking hits throughout.
The harder terrains have always been there. Their frequency; I do not know. Changes like these can be made without any patch notes.
Do I need a bottle? I wasn't talking to you jerk. Don't come on here raising the temperature by butting in something and making remarks like that. You saying that makes you no better that what you supposedly have a disdain for. So go waddle back to your couch with your bag of potato chips. If you were in my unit and you said that to me or any of the other guys you would have got your head knocked off. .
"you would have got your head knocked off."
"Thank God for the internet huh. Where you can be brave and say things to people on it that you know you couldn't get away with in public"
oh the delicious irony
ps
dang i wish i had some potato chips now
all i have is crackers but no cheese
i'd go to the store but that would require going outside
and interacting with live people

While Muckster is frequently more abrasive than is strictly necessary, some of your forum statements, combined with the dig about saying things on forums that one wouldn't say in public is, in fact, about as close to irony as most things people call irony. Unless, of course, you think that asking if one needs a bottle is somehow less appropriate to say to someone in public than "waddle back to your couch with your bag of potato chips." in which case, have at it.There is no irony.

But when multiple people complain and you do this same ole same ole routine its a turn off. Its the changes coupled with attitudes such as yours is why people quit.
And what chapter are you in? What ranking are your AWs? Its says that you have been playing at least 2 years more than me. I lost entire bttles on 3 star provinces. That hasn't happened in a year for me. You aren't going to see the losses I am because of your health. You guys that are in the top 200 are not in the same boat as the rest of us. So it would be appreciated if you showed empathy instead of indirectly bragging about your situation. I know what you are going to say is that it wasn't your intent to do so.
I don't think it's falling apart at all. The three that went inactive recently all all stopped growing within a minute of each other on Sept 8th, just about the time the event was announced on Beta. I think one person was operating three cities and quit in a huff. The saddest part being, since all three cities were in chapter 3, it would have made almost no difference to them. they could still have used level one workshops and at most level 5 or 6 factories.Poor boy's FS is falling apart
You had best prepare yourself for next week, I suspect you are going to find the pain goes to a whole new level. 3 new troop upgrades means more than one tournament is going to see an increase in difficulty as a result of those 3 star troops.
I tried using the combined score for the top 10 teams on each of US1 through US6, but it became obvious that the event (9 provs or 45 tournament provs) threw everything out of whack.Do people feel crystal tourny is harder then previous scrolls tourny? How would you judge it in the ranking of all tourny weeks difficulty?
The one thing that is a bit telling is that for Event-Planks vs the previous (non-event) planks the sum of those 50 groups was 59,000 higher last week (+9%), while event-Crystal vs non-event-crystal was only up 10,000 (2%) Then again, the event ended part way into crystal. So all we really know is that there's no way to compare them because of too many confounding variables.Which tournaments do you think will have the biggest impact? It sounds like the frog princes were in planks last week but nobody really saw a huge change.
Which tournaments do you think will have the biggest impact? It sounds like the frog princes were in planks last week but nobody really saw a huge change. So which tournaments will be most impacted by the vallorian guard and ranger upgrades?
I noticed the frogs but didn't pay much attention to them in planks tourny but they wouldn't have been a primary enemy, hence lower numbers. My guess is scrolls tourney will be hard hit as the primary enemy is light range and the ranger is one of those. Similarly marble tournament primary enemy is heavy melee of which vallorian guard are one. The like difference between those 2 tournaments will be marble typically uses mages so long range attack (depending in race/chapter), while scrolls uses close combat troops and is one of the most complained about tournaments.
On the flip side the tournaments those units are used in will get easier once we unlock the 3 star troops, but that is a might long wait depending where yu are in the tech tree.
So, per @MinMax Gamer via a thread linked from the German forums, it turns out we weren't imagining things and the troops weren't behaving as intended. CMs there have confirmed that troop boosts are being incorrectly applied to the new enemy troops as well as our own, which means the more boost you use, the harder the fights get.Quaccy pointed out the great discrepancy between cannoneers and even frog 2 units vs. the frog prince in an earlier post in this thread.

I've no doubt there will follow a chorus of apologies from the people who insisted we were imagining everything and everything was exactly as intended /s
