Hello Archon,

What governs the ability to feed your troops is your actual grain production rate. Before the change, if your production rate fell below your consumption rate then troops left, simple as that. 

What has always fed your troops is just grain, period.

As long as you had just one grain left, your troops couldn't dismiss.

Raiding has always been used by top players to feed their huge army. Actually, nothing has changed, except your troops won't dismiss when your grain counter hits zero, that's all.

I know lots of newcomers got fooled by the damn message warning you as soon as your grain production balance gets negative, and it's actually still there, annoying but useless.

We spent countless time reassuring them on the forum, telling them they had nothing to fear as long as they had some grain left.

The game itself told you to ask your friends to send you some, so it was clearly about having spare grain, not about using more than you produced.

That's also the reason why explanation had to be given, as I can see urban legends are still alive ! ;)

As a matter of fact, my grain balance got negative far before they removed the dismissing feature, and of course long ago it was as well before my temple of Demeter was fully upgraded, and I've never lost any unit. All I had to do was raiding daily, perod.

I generally do not comment on much of what I read, but this idea that raiding for grain to feed your troops is simply not so, at least according to Plarium.  What governs the ability to feed your troops is your actual grain production rate. Before the change, if your production rate fell below your consumption rate then troops left, simple as that. I spent a lot of drachma before the change to keep my production rate above my consumption rate, using the 3 day production boosts, but it finally reached a point that nothing I did, other than losing troops, could keep the production rate above the consumption rate. I do not notice any troops leaving now, and actually darn few left before. Many players still believe that the quantity of grain in their warehouses feed the army and that, according to the answer I got from Plarium, is just not so. Now, even with the production boosts, if you have an army of any size anyway, you cannot possibly keep up with the consumption rate. There are some other factors involved as well.  Consumption can be affected by different percentages added to your city by temples and scrolls, and maybe a couple of things I am not aware of.  But quantity of grain in your grainery is not one of them.  My information regarding this issue came from submitting a ticket to Plarium  because I could not in anyway keep up any longer and was worried that my army would leave. That no longer seems to be an issue. I just felt the need to point out this very common misconception of grain and its purposes.

most of the stuff is ok but the PP is EPIC=Lame, why wont i pick this up so that they know how LAME is the EPIC mean

The Blue color is the most Epic L+A+M+E.

The Yellow is the Coiner playground

The White color is consider ok and fair among all.

New Units: advanced Roman Warriors you can hire with Denarii!

Resources and Items purchased or received as bonuses can now all be found in the Market interface!

Coalition Missions!

Global Tournaments!

Reduced Grain consumption for Champion Units!

-Reduce and benefit to those alien ather than player

Changes to Persian Position mechanics!

-The reward system is just too dizzy,

Units will no longer be dismissed when you lack the Grain to maintain them!

-Buy and build -grain, still can buy and build.

Relocation Pools!

-in early its was like "I hate you", 4k drachma to move away from it, now added discount, everyone can fly.

Experience Points available for purchase!

-no learning, just spoiling

New levels of Buildings (you can use Sketches to upgrade them even further and gain special bonuses)!

-what!!! not so important and too expensive.

New Items (Auto Unit Hider, Offense and Defense Enhancers, Position Discovery, Instant Recall)!

-GP 10% haha im so strong, Drachma 20% he is stronger, so when you gonna attack, i wanna ready the defensive cos you have 20% offfensive, pls make it within this 4 hr cos my army at pan so scare....you never know when the raider gonna lick you.

From the list, we can see that the early 1 2 3 were ok nice, afterward, it just gone out of the topic and mostly refer to coiner rather than player, the fairness broke after that.

Just Alt F4 the PP new system, the sure reward is mess up, even myself cant even predict when the reward will come, try many method still, the PP change more often

Weaken all position when getting big reward you notice losing 20%

weaken all position end up having 30% of total army in hand

Now some things to fix.  Get rid of token and sketches all together and allow people to upgrade these building through resources alone.  Political attacks need to be removed they are way overpowered.

New levels of the buildings give every player a lot of advantages, that is why it is not very easy to achieve this goal. 

That is correct it gives people who pay a huge advantage over those who don't.  I have given money so I fall on the side that benefits.  Now how about making them cheaper so those that don't pay don't have to save up for two years to obtain these items? 

Actually, the price question is a bit complicated.

Since paying items give huge advantages, the programmers have thought they would keep their price high so people wouldn't abuse.

I've even read people asking for more expensive political units for this same reason, for instance.

You can't deny this opinion makes sense.

Actually, maybe the key to both being more affordable and advantage paying players less, would be to make cheaper items, but with lower bonuses...

But then you'll have to admit it would be quite equivalent. :)

The problem is actually more about some rare people being so rich that those high prices aren't high for them, so they can have LOTS OF EXPENSIVE items, where ordinary people would rather have few expensive, or lots of cheap ones.

However, those people are so rare you can all name them... So yes, it can be a problem, especially if you unfortunately went at war with them... Otherwise, you shouldn't be botherd too much by normal people.

And in the very case you would be bullied by one of those rich coiners, then I hope you could ask Plarium, or at least one of us, to try and talk to them... Anyway, it's rare you get bullied without a reason, so sometimes it's better to admit defeat and not trying to get after them, so they leave you alone.

As I always explain to players we have to retaliate because they attack our pantheons, yes, our armies are bigger, because we're older on the game. It doesn't meean we love bullying people. It only means we have to discourage people from hassling our pantheons. We're not going on a personal war agaisnt them. If they leave us alone, we'll leave them alone.

I have to explain this, because lots of so-called bullied players have actually started hostilities and are even going at it again and again, and it's perfectly normal that their victims use the army they've gathered from their efforts, rather than doing nothing. Else what would even be the point of playing to get an army, if you can't use it ?

the most epic updates of the year are:

1- Coalition missions

2- Reduced grain consumption for champions units

3- Units will not longer be dismissed when you lack the grain to maintain them

4- Changes to Persian position mechanics

and the most worst updates are:

1- New levels of buildings (you can use sketches to upgrade them even further and gain especial bonuses)

2- global tournaments

is all for cash, 

You can always earn free Drachmas in the game. It will take some time and efforts, but you will be able to use them for any purpose you wish.

All basic buildings and functions can be obtained with Resources, but there are some extra beneficial buildings which can be built only with Drachmas. 

You still can play this game for free and earn Drachmas for them.
