All of these issues have a single root cause: Removal of food restrictions.
I can't be bothered to yet again have to explain why this is utter garbage - utter garbage of the most dangerous kind as the desired fix will leave an even bigger gap between coiners and non-coiners.
Just because YOU don't have negative food, doesn't mean other people who have been playing 3yrs+ and don't coin might have negative food. You will literally leave them with nothing to do in game with your suggestion.
The reason the game being out of balance to the point of death is because infinite troops can be purchased immediately by someone on their first day in the game. We told Plarium that for 3 years but only now the games are dead has it dawned on them we know what we are talking about. Short term easy buck, no long term at all.
You are incorrect. Its not garbage. I'm a coiner myself, though I've never been willing to throw hundreds per month at a game. Billions of offense did not exist before food restrictions were lifted. I certainly never saw 100k offense even among the dedicated league offensive players 3 years ago. Now its common. Of course, troop packs are more common now and sapphires are cheaper, so yes, there is that. BTW, who said I don't have negative food?
I said its the root cause, not the only cause. That door, once opened, led to increasingly greater coiner troop heaven, like a runaway train. I also said that there can be no protection, nor can troops be bought, trained, nor revived without positive food production. It will reduce the gap between coiners and non-coiners...at least it will after the excess troops are knocked off in a fortress hit or some other hit before they disappear.
