I agree Lior, I personally do not like the city bonus because it causes nobody to attack a city in the game, and although it prevents coiners from attacking your city it also prevents coiner cities from being attacked, however this is so, It can not  change, I understand.

But as you say, the game needs solutions that motivate players to storm cities, much better prizes, new tournaments that revive a free part, we need excitement and fun.

A game should never be boring, even if there are many tasks, these rewards of doing so many tasks have to serve later for fun.

trust me, we are, I am both an off and def player and I must admit I get a bigger rush when I take down a big city or pan, the game has been very weighted towards defence for a long time now 

these are my own opinions as a player of course :)

 i agree that things are weighted towards defense, and once certain army levels and city upgrades, almost impossible to do alone, so most larger players fight in the midlevel cities. stagnation happens when nothing is moving and without offense in play.. nothing does. pa"s now for the most part are harmless. on server 2 the largest coas do not engage each other at all, they merely hit the smaller ones due to diplo agreements.. gives me plenty to do because it takes more skill to play in a smaller coa than in a large one just by the nature of the game. there are ways to hit cities , but the game handcuffs the ability to do it consistantly because balanced attacks beat power every time in a conflict over time, but the bonuses afforded cities are squed much more tha they should be

p.s. as far a coining and the term.. everyone to be competive spends on here.. but there is much more to this game than sheer power.. the game does a great job in teaching how to attack in conflicts in scoring and is based on resources to replace.. this holds true in larger conflicts and wars. this is something that many in this game do not study because this game at its based is about wearing down the other side in resources to replace.. period... and over time the players that attack in this manner will generally win a conflict over time... and army you build for this will beat and army based on sheer power every time... but the game limits your ability to actually build what it takes to do it consistantly by the inabilit to by enough resource apckages a day to construct what you actually need to do this effectively on larger cities

I have flagged this to the CM for you :)

i do want to address the ARS issue... i like many found this option late.. faught a few wars against peeps that were on it.. first of all. it was definately a glitch and now they closed it... i do feel packages should be less expensive and that would encourage more fighting.. but i have to say, most players simply do not know how to attack effectively. not attack a few times , but sustain an effort for longer periods like a war. wars are attritional and there are keys in the game that show you exactly how to do it. so, the fault is players also because they are not students of the game... this game is morelike chess than anything else.. and peices are made to work inconjuntion with other peices.. some have more effect on other peices etc,, some have less... so, this issue is not just the money part.. its lack of understanding and/or studying this game also.. plarium must make a profit, but there needs to be a middle ground also

Hello LEM!

You won the reward for Most Helpful Reply in August!

Congrats!

Please check your PM :)

If you want to kill as many Phalanx Def units as you can You Must hit with Lights & Heavy ONLY.

that has not been my experience,ive used just 2 lines.. did thta in challenges, but found spicing em up like this coast less all around.. i used to just hit with light and heavies..used to do that onlyand didnt use horses at all for over 2 years... becuase really to fight u dont need them and the legendary general peices are much cheaper to upgrade... so i use all 4 lines now ... really works effectivey in pans.. you my be correct, but i do not believe that 1600 and 8000 heavies and lights could breack the walls and be as effective alone.. i truly think this game is made to use all 4 lines of soldiers in an attack with roughly the same pwer on each line to be effective and a balance of swords and spears that is only changed to effect what soldiers you are trying to isolate

City is just one of the several places where battle can happen. Battles in emporia and pantheon are the alternatives and sometimes those can be more interesting. Recently playing traps in smaller cities have become a new trend. I like others attacking my city knowing I'll get back at least 40% (50% of Elysian and 30% of regular troops - and i use similar amount of both) of my dead troops for free. I respect others' opinions too as its up to the individual player to formulate his/ her own strategy.

I assume that you and I have different playing style, priorities, friends and enemies but I agree with you on the matter of the amount of alts.

The problem of alts is because the game is boring and more and more tasks, players leave the game and give away their account, and in recent years no new player has entered the game, plarium wanted this, plarium wants a number very small of players and that spending money, as it is not able for plarium to get the game to run smoothly when there are many players.Cheap servers, bad programming ...

I also agree on the matter of alts, I would also like to see more PvP events and the game re-balanced to not fasvour defence so heavily, I would also LOVE political attacks to be removed as well 

Political attack has become meaningless lately. Almost everyone upgrades assassin protection on a priority basis now. Those who have troops defending, most likely they have full assassin protection. Even younger players and new comers too give priority on it after they are in a coalition and start learning from teammates.

pa were fun, it was a way in which small players could attack big players, currently that is eliminated, and now big players cannot be attacked in any way.

This current pantheon takeover event is embarrassing, you can win better prizes by completing guardian quest every day.

Plarium doesn't really listen to its players.

I agree :)

Its about time that Plarium reintroduced the importance of Pans and Capitols into the game.   Pans are of no real value at all and as for capitols.  Well if yours has been reduced who the heck rebulds?   The world is now littered with level 5 capitols that are undefended and never attacked.   Plarium could easily have introduced a method of ensuring that only one Coa was able to declare war on another coa, and consequently been in a position to attack a capitals at a given time.  The problem with Pans is that veteran status is so totally worthless.   About time that Plarium made veteran status as important as having a guardian in tow.

ahhhh PA's, my least favourite part of the game, cant stand em 

Everyone likes to have their city attacked, but let's face it, cities are attacked compared years ago ,to less than 1% , other scenes?pantheons? It is uneven, since the attack guards are unfair and eliminated the coa attacks, there are hardly any attacks on pantheons or tournaments that motivate it.

Attacks on emporias ? It is ridiculous, most of them send very few units over and over again, so the war is very minimal.

The current problem is the amount of alts and little activity in the game and that is caused by the changes that plarium has made in the game during the last years.
