Fellowship-based Tournaments

[DeletedUser4778]

@Mykan, @Dhurrin, and @edeba: Here's Support's reply:

"Thank you for contacting Elvenar support. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties with the game.

If players move to a new fs during a tournament, in order for them to have their points move with them, they need to have completed another tournament encounter after moving over. Once they do that, then their tourney score should update.

Please let us know if you have any further questions, and have a lovely day!"

Based on the above as well as edeba's and one of my fellow's previous comments, it looks like the scores only show up in an FS if you completed certain tourney checkpoints or encounters while in that FS.

 

[Mykan]

Thank you, that makes a little sense or at least I can see how it would work.

 

[DeletedUser2870]

That would make a bit of sense I guess, to have them at least participate in the tourny with their new FS.

@Draconomicon thank you for sharing.

Updated numbers for this week. Hard to draw too many conclusions without comparisons to the same tournament province pre-update but the numbers for dust were down from previous weeks.

Players who obtained >17,600

Server	Planks	Scrolls	Silk	Elixir	Dust
Beta	?	11	28	20	10
EN1	4	12	30	18	9
EN2	6	11	29	17	9
US1	5	11	21	12	7
US2	5	10	15	14	12
US3	3	6	19	12	10
US4	3	10	19	14	7

Total servers	28	77	174	111	69

Number of people needed to obtain 440,000 points

Server	Scrolls	Silk	Elixir	Dust
Beta		26	16	20	25
EN1		24	16	21	27

Also interesting to note participation by server

This was a harder tourney than the last couple, as we had light melee as our go to troop with lower HP, and were against ranged enemies that could hit first and move out of range quickly. The dogs were the best troop as they have more movement range, but still took a lot of damage before they could get to the enemies. I hope they realize some tourneys are harder and balance them out a bit, as it isn't really fair for players with those boosts.
I did find the orc strategist good against archers though.

Or scale the reward requirements based on province type

 

[DeletedUser4778]

I definitely agree with both of you. I hate the Planks and Magic Dust provinces and cater those in tourneys. I usually don't bother with fighting them anymore. Not worth the losses, IMO.

It may be all in my head but it seems to me that the time between the levels seems to be much longer than it was? I seem to remember being able to do each level in the tourney 2x in a day but now its one a day? Could be me but it just seems much slower.

 

[Mykan]

Its still 16 hrs but if your getting old doing that twice in a day is tough

Spoiler: Spoiler

It was hinted on Beta to watch for v1.24 in relation to fellowship tournaments. I am eagerly awaiting to see what there is in store for us in relation to feedback provided, assuming the timetable doesn't change.

The Goldilocks Zone (GZ) refers to the invisible line on the world map where scout times, combat difficulty and negotiating costs are reasonable. It impacts everyone at every era but obviously moves as you move through the game. The number of scouted (not completed) provinces impacts whether you are in or out of the GZ.

Towns that are at 300+provinces are beyond the GZ for the current eras in the game and have a significantly higher cost to cater in tournaments then a town with less scouted provinces. By staying within the GZ whether using combat, negotiating or both should means your cities factory technology is also able to keep up with cater/negotiate costs the same as it should ensure it can combat as well.

I still must ask the question, since they made the price of expansions outrageous, how can we expand enough and avoid going beyond the GZ? You're either stuck a multitude of times (dwarves and fairies does that to you well enough), or you have to go beyond GZ and pay negotiating costs instead of being able to fight. Quite frankly, some of Innogames' logic makes this game a lot less fun. They're trying to balance things out, but it's really messing with some of the players. I'm one of them.

I wonder how many of the people creating and revising this game actually play it.

The game is balanced based on non-premium expansions, so it is designed or a person to move through without diamonds. Premium expansions just speed certain things up, personally going outside the GZ doesn't as your trade certain gains for certain losses, cost of catering is one of those.

Then they definitely need to add more research for expansions. That's the only way I see to avoid the GZ and still grow enough to have the culture and population needed. Perhaps I am doing something wrong with my city.

does anyone know where to find (or have them) the number of TP you get for 1 province in each round/star?

[DeletedUser3942]

thank you Mykan - are those the ones currently valid on life servers or already from beta? somehow the numbers seem so small...

 

[DeletedUser188]

@Caillean
Those amounts are from the new tourney that just ended on beta
They lowered the fights to 4 per province with less pts for each fight and province
They also lowered the amount required to unlock last chest to 40,000 pts
Here is a post from beta with some screenshots

thanks Andrew
@Mykan do you by any chance have the current valid ones for live servers too?
