Gain An Advantage In Warfare And Spying!

New Items Now Available At The Market!

Gain An Advantage In Warfare And Spying!

A message from the marathoners!

Archon!

The gods have bestowed upon you a new series of incredible Items to make gaining control of Hellas easier than ever before!

Take a look!

Full Protection. This Item protects you from any Offensive Action launched against you. Your enemies won’t be able to Raid, order Political Attacks, Besiege, or dispatch Scouts against you so long as this Item is active. Activating Full Protection allows you to take a deep breath and manage your City without worrying about being attacked.

Spy Protection. This Item ONLY protects you from being Spied upon. Your enemies won't be able to dispatch Scouts against you while this Item is active. Use Spy Protection to make your enemies eyeless inside your City.

You can get these Items at the Market (Go to the "Special" section of the “Misc” tab).

Keep a watchful eye on the news posts; more innovative Spartan survival gear is sure to be available soon!

A note about full protection: it works similarly to the returning guardian protection or new player protection. If the protected city takes any offensive action (besieging, raiding), its protection will be removed.

Like Seriously more and more bloody items. We asked for pan report tab nothing...we asked for political shield building not drachmas bought bloody unreal. Please explain how the hell is this good for average player, all those items are coiners only, yes they can be bought with GPs but gps are even harder to get nowdays so not realistic. First relocation, now coiners move like bad ladies from banana to banana. Then off and def reinforcer guy with 100 mil off has 20 mil more like seriously is that really fair play...And now idiots with CASH will cause problems when you want to retalieate guess what you CANT cause of stupid protection. Since when is this game farmville, strategy are not some money bought items but experiences playing it, but with every STUPID item you make game harder and harder to guys that just wanna play smart not with CC. This things pissed me off as hell i know im not the only one but you just dont GIVE A CRAP


PS: We asked for pan filters you said it is your high priority...why the hell then those items if that was your priority...oh yeah i know why cause you are too greedy all you see is $ nothing new for non paying players and games that will have couple of 10 coiners still playing they will get bored also and QUIT many already had.


GOOD DAY

Innovates Sparta gear...LMAO...  you Plarium people r too much...


i wish to give some feedback on this warfare and spying developments in Sparta. These new options have no place in Sparta. Real history shows this was not possible. I understand the buying of gold concept... because throughout history gold was used to win & finance wars. I must say.. and i will use no negative remarks or slang...  Your consideration and implementation of these options conflict with history, real time game play, but most importantly... they conflict with your clients values relating to the game and what good game development should be.


You guys are off... back to the drawing boarding...

Guys guys relax.

Buy more drachmas in order to be competitive. It has always been like that.

What I hate most is the fact that Plarium keep trying to convince us this game is for everyone to play.

It is not, this game favours the coiners big time! Nothing wrong I guess but the rest of us who aren't Arabian princes don't have even a small chance. At least since the Persians change chances are 0 to win over a coiner.

Have a nice playtime :)

Disappointment like this is precisely the reason why we do not make announcements. Unexpected problems happen in development and postponements are very common.

The new items (requested by players for use against political attacks) are not the only feature of the new update. Check out the new emporias.

HAHAHA EPIC we asked for removal or some buidling not DRACHMA bought stupid item...dont say we asked that... you cannot see political so best would be to have shield 24 hours 7 days a week active...are you bloody insane!


We asked for removal or smaller damage(By Building) or protecting scouts BY BUILDING not by item... defending against political BY Building not by drachma bought stupid items... at least one of those things would be enough NOOO they had to brought in more stupid items....meanwhile almost half of my city is waiting for new buildings

Buildings are reserved for more permanent functions. A shield against political attacks has to be temporary.

it could be buidling- bought with drachma like hermes 10 lvls... each political brings it down one lvl....coiners would use more policals to break through...and regular players being hit wouldnt be in such a bad shape losing all that def for 20 PVP really unbalenced

1. make an announcement before u make changes, since i lost over 1 m army for no reason when u applied changes, i can live with that, yet it does not make me happy, my member lost his off only cause he was not able to put it to safety in time since game crashed.

2. if i can not do something properly, then i do not do that at all. in this case, if u guys can not ensure things go smoothly, then do not make any updates.

now here goes the question: let's say i start hitting ls pantheons really hard, and then i apply that protection thing, so obviously some guys would not like that, yet would they be able to raid my city when protection thing would be applied? if it works the same like protection when u begin to play this game, i do not think they would be able to do that? or would they?

Strategic items like these remind me of how film productions protect their sets. Celebrities  and directors often rely on similar 'security shields' to guard against paparazzi and leaks during high-profile shoots in Hollywood's entertainment battlegrounds.

This needs to be changed, I can attack a pantheon that contains the entire coalition and keep the shield. Give some chance to players to fight back. Any aggressive action needs to cancel the protection.

Well, when beginners' protecton has been implemented, there was no pantheon yet, or nobody though a beginner would harm a pantheon with a pair of swordsmen...


So it was probably thought with only player's mutual interaction in mind.


It should be extended to attacking anything now, or it would be just unfair. :)

I have been corrected. Any offensive action towards a city will break protection. I'm not sure if it was intentional or an effort to save work.

Well, I don't know if you had time to experiment while you were under your nice shiny bubble the other day, but AFAIK, beginners protection shouldn't completely drop if you raid another city : it only allows this specific target to attack you back.


Well, wait, maybe this actually works differently. The one I could experiment a few months ago was returning player's protection, and it was in Stormfall (as I had accidentally cilked on Stormfall 1 year ago and didn't move any further, so the castle was automatically created, and when i started playing to give it a try like 6 months later, I got returning player's shield).

Apparently, this one allows to stay protected from all but the ones you've attacked.


So I was wondering if that sci-fi shield lost in ancient Greece would work the same way... And since a pantheon isn't supposed to retaliate, then maybe a difference is made between attcking another player or somehting else (you should have tried with emporia as well ^^)


But I agree it's twisted. Safely attacking pantheons whille staying under shield protection... That's quite scandalous actually. :p Somehting should be done quickly IMHO...

I have already left my answer concerning Filters in another thread, but I'll repeat it here for all Archons to see - the feature was almost ready, however, our engineers have found some serious bugs with Battle Reports and it was decided to release this feature with the next update in order to fix this bug. I don't think that players will be happy to receive errors in Battle Reports.

I have disclosed the situation we have faced with and I hope for your understanding

I'm sure if recent features were put on hold and effort was concentrated on the desperately needed free pantheon filter it would have been made months ago. 

Yes we did want a counterplay against assassins, but not something that would block our gameplay as well. Shield stops all operations. Why are we unable to raid if the purpose of the shield is to stop assassins? You just gave them an option to send an assassin and then initiate shield so there's absolutely nothing we can do against them. Did you know assassin lands within 3 minutes and you cant see him coming? Shield would have to be active all the time, thats pricy and stops all activity in the city.

Your selective memory is not amusing. You said the same thing in that topic and I replied giving you all details you requested. Even if I didn't (but I did) then you initiate a further discussion asking for the details and not criticize every suggestion posted on the forums and then come up with something more convenient for plarium to make and sell. Just so you would have an excuse that you tried. At least a scout tower would give a little strategy to the game, you have to pick if you would rather have more city defense bonus or guard your scouts. All these new features are just shortcuts taking away all strategy. I'm a coiner and I shouldn't complain on those since I can have them at any time, but I am complaining because its killing the little strategy that's left in the game.

No one is asking you to read their minds, but then communicate and present the problems you are having on your side and give the community a chance instead of criticizing every suggestions and coming up with your own solutions that in the end are not nearly what we had in mind.

Most people come on the forums with suggestions because a certain feature is imbalanced and they are frustrated with it, you criticizing them instead of trying to figure out how to change it for the better doesnt help.
