Improvement suggestions
Some ideas to improve Sparta - War of Empires
First – Better Towers! Allow an affordable way for people to get better value for what they have already invested in their towers. Towers used to be important (even level 2 or 3 towers made a difference)! Some players have invested a lot of $ into their towers. However, armies have improved so much that towers have become a bit of a waste of time and money (even level 10 tower don’t make much difference). Another reasons why it’s important for towers to be effective is that fixing your friends towers used to be a useful favour, which encouraged socialising (which is why a lot of people play Sparta). Allowing towers to get developed up to level 15 is not the answer (it would feel like a rip-off). What about allow Sapper workshops to be upgraded, which causes tower to be tougher? Towers need to be at least 300% better!
Second, Heroes need to be better. They are now a weak little unit that makes no difference. They used to be worth having (when I started paying Sparta, 5 years ago). They should be the toughest unit on the battlefield? Allow the Hall of Heroes to be upgraded, leading to tougher hero units. Another reasons why it’s important for heroes to be effective is that clicking the red hero icon in your friend’s city and “joining their army as a hero” used to be a useful favour, which encouraged socialising (which is why a lot of people play Sparta). Better free hero units would also get people battling more.
Third, being “Allies’ needs to be more useful (ATM, it’s a bit of a waste of time). I think if your ally has units stationed in your city that are killed in a raid, you should be able to revive a portion of them for free in your infirmary. Again, this encourages people to help defend their allies’ cities and encourages socialising between friends (and better battles with enemies).
