Greetings all! 
I tried to provide you with more information on the changes, as the update on Positions reward system may trigger a lot of questions (and I see it already).
1. Why did we decide to make these changes?
We have always received countless complaints from players claiming that "Positions weren’t working" or assuming that we’d changed the Positions payout system.
Some of our players thought that reward system was working incorrectly exclusively for them, as they would see huge rewards on screenshots shared on the Forums by other players, while receiving nothing (or only small rewards) themselves. One of the main problems was that players would end up losing most or all of their army before getting a reward.
This was a problem especially for new players who still hadn’t learned the intricacies of how Positions worked, and also for some of our veteran players, who were engaging higher-level Positions, where the gaps between payouts were significantly longer (but the rewards were bigger). So, we decided to alter the scheme to avoid this frustration.
Now, you will save some of your troops if you lose a battle against Xerxes. Sure, it’s not enough of an army to mount another attack right away, but it’s still better than losing after walking into a Persian ambush you weren’t prepared for!
2. Did my reward progression (in other words - Positions Bank) reset to zero?
No, Archons, all your results were not reset. You can continue hitting Positions and get the rewards you’ve been building up to.
3. Why do I get small rewards, despite numerous losses?
From now on, you get small rewards for every win. Gods feel that you deserve to get a prize for every victory. You worked hard to win a battle for the Position you should be rewarded for taking this challenge.
This doesn't mean that you won't also get those bigger rewards you used to get prior to the update. Those still happen – there’s just greater consistency now.
4. How do these frequent small rewards affect the overall reward system?
You'll need to hit more Positions in order to claim the big rewards you used to get. On the other hand, you will always receive bonus troops for a win.
5. Will we still get big, really big, rewards for Positions?
As we have added the rewards for every victory, the really big rewards will be rarer, but you can still get them if you keep fighting at the Positions.
>> Archons, be advised: changes to the rewards system were made with extreme care – our priority was to keep the overall rewards balance the same. <>
One more thing, every Archon has his / her own reward progression stage, so not all the advantages will immediately be obvious to everyone.
Give yourself some time to analyze the update.
The system is new, so you will need to commit some time and thought to it and recalibrate your strategy. This is a challenge that real Archons are faced with often!
If you still have any questions, feel free to leave them below.
we lose all our positions, no big reward at all, we take only 30% from our position, the question is, with what army do we play further, if my first remaining position is a level 80, and my last 125??? i must wait 3 more weeks to can defeat that first position, with, of course, no guarantee that i will have my big reward back??? bad system, believe me! bevore was bad days and good days, so, we stop at bad day and try tomorrow, maybe, but now, all are bad days? ok, we leave, if that is what you want!
hoooyah!
nice hits
