Allot of new players are having issues and I think it would be good if we can pin down where and why.
And this game doesn't teach people how to fight. I was able to win a battle last night on ring 12 after the woodelves came out (so after I had gotten that last advanced scouts), but all the ones I had researched before were still impossible. It should be that unlocking the tech changes all the provinces you have already done. BUT and this is a really big but, I have tons of fighting experience on here. Hundreds and hundreds of hours. A new person would have had zero chance. Just because a few of us here can eke out a win doesn't mean the battles aren't set at too great a difficulty level. Plus, for that fight, I had to take around 30 turns. Running and dodging and hiding and ducking. I'd go several turns without firing a single shot.
The newbies don't have a tutorial the game gives them. Sure, it is nice and all that some of us have written some guides, but the game itself needs to teach people. Walk them through a few battles. Show them exactly how it is done. Otherwise, they will be like lambs to the slaughter. Remember the number one complaint before the new system was that battles were too hard.
