Can someone explain me how this really improves the game?

Well, I can think of a couple of circumstances. If something happens you didn't intend, and you have offense outside the acropolis, it won't get slaughtered as much if it is maxed out. The difference between the offensive and defensive values of a maxed out unit is not nearly as great as it is now.

Guys, new levels give you many benefits:

1) Your Units will become much stronger.

2) You will be able to upgrade Defensive stats for Offensive Units and vice versa. It means more space for strategic movements and less risk for your Offense to be caught and lost in unfair battle.

3) Only active players will receive this opportunity. The Defensive Units of players that are not playing the game anymore, but protecting other players or strategic sites will no longer be competitive.

4) Only the last 2 levels will require a special Resource.

5) You can get this Resource in Tournaments.

1 strategy dont mean stronger.. this is strategy game, making stronger you do nto improve, jsut make bigger gaps and how would this game will be rate in 2017, pay to play as the percentage is getting worse....

2. thats the main problem in all this, if you were a real player, you would notice... how UNFAIR this will become

3. only big spenders will real benefit of this

4. the ones that give the most unfair davantage

Do developers listen to the players? 

I hope the bonuses get reconsider to a logical way of gaming

Look, i understand changes are ok, we all do... I only say the bonueses progression is quite unfair not even with non spenders, even with normal spenders... you are only helping a 1% of gamers....

The increase of offensive units defence value only helps poor play .... its the excact opposite of give strategic play advantage. There is supposed to be different usage for the different unit types. Whats gonna be next ? Scouts will have more offense power for example? So someone that didnt take few minutes to study his troops and attacks with them actually gets them back and make a good hit with them?

That change is bad... it cuts out the smaller player opportunity to fight off stronger opponents and it is only gonna support bullying on the map nothing else...

1) Your Units will become much stronger. What s the point ? I d rather had more units or new units than those new agrements..

2) You will be able to upgrade Defensive stats for Offensive Units and vice versa. It means more space for strategic moves ments and less risk for your Offense to be caught and lost in unfair battle.That agument is BS

3) Only active players will receive this opportunity. The Defensive Units of players that are not playing the game anymore, but protecting other players or strategic sites will no longer be competitive. Would need 3 more years to complete those upgrades, or tell us how much time in total would be necessary  : be honest for one time.  For those who compted the game your are expecting the same motivtion that tey had at the beginning ??? OMG are yo really game developpers ???

4) Only the last 2 levels will require a special Resource. We dont want this , can t you understand that ?

5) You can get this Resource in Tournaments. We rather get more units !!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT IS DEFINITLY THE MOST STUPID CHANGE YOU HAVE EVER MADE TO THAT GAME. THIS WAY YOU DISCOURAGE PEOPLE TO CONTINUE PLAYING, BECAUSE YOU ARE FORCING TO CONTINUE UPGRADING WHEN YOU DID PROMISE THAT WAS FINISH . THAT WAS THE DEAL AND YOU JUST ROKE IT. I CAN T SAY HOW FURIOUS AM I AGAINST YOU AND I AM PRETTY SURE YOU CAN HEARD THE WORDS ....

Hey why delete my post?

reverse the whole thing maybe its dificult now. but to put reasonable porcertages in teh units... they can and they should... something like this.... same porcentages as scouts

As the leader of the 1st coalition in game i feel the need to thank you our beloved plarium for this stupidity and money pulling scam 

I have 50 Players  Who are considering to leave this game for good All of them are big coiners in this game and are done with your crusade to destroy this game 

If plarium thinks That their own gain is above our game fun its fine with me but we Will do everything in our power to mobilize all Coas and Players to complain on this forum and if this wont help we as the no1 coalition Will quit this game 

Penny for your thoughts 

Wake up and reverse or goodbye Sparta

Plarium wiki, where many archons gather informations they need to learn the mechanics of the game said:

"It is a known fact that many Archons fail to actively manage their returning troops in a timely manner. You can take advantage of this by having your troops follow the enemy home and timing them to hit just after the enemy gets back to their City and hopefully before they put them in the Acropolis."

If you're doing this strategy, you know it takes calculation, timing, thrill, faith, chance and other factors to hit the mark and when you hit it, BOOM!!! That's where the fun is. One of the most satisfying thing you can do to destroy your enemy. 

And now they want to boost the defense of offensive units up to 420%? They're trying to rob us of this fun and satisfaction!

Plarium should give us benefits which are good for players. They should think 70% players are not coiners. They are normal players and do not get anything special from this game. We are coming to play and enjoy the game. Now we are thinking to leave. It is out our range now. Plarium must give 90% off on HEALER every 3rd day. Can you!!! I don't think so...

 We love this game but Plarium thinks a different way to make money and not give us freedom to play. I must quote this

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. Abraham Lincoln

I really don’t know why everyone is getting their knickers in a twist over this. Esp the coiners, I am a level 90 + player that you could call a coiner. The stupid new building allows the smaller players to have another outlet to gain effects for their troops that last 3 hours at a time nothing like the elixirs and the all the scrolls the coiners have in play all the time. every time they bought packages they get some of this stuff, I have level 12 on all the elixirs time over and scrolls I don’t even bother using. As for the agreement levels big deal, you all produce a ton of res I can sign a new level every 1 day approximately. This even gives non-coiners that are committed to get to level 30

Now if you really want to be scared about something then the addition of such a large defensive boost to offensive troops is the likelihood they will remove the acropolis which has been posted in the forums in sly why – now that is a deal breaker.

Everything else is BS considering the amounts of money spent by me and some others in this game and the advantage we already hold

The removal of the acropolis would be the end of the game for me.

i am absolutely against these changes. plarium have taken the pleasure out of this game, changes to this, changes to that, additions,subtractions etc etc etc

We are all aware that the company needs to make money to operate, but this is just sheer greed.

I for one will probably leave the game unless you the company start giving back our enjoyment and stop meddling .

you can start by giving bigger discounts on troop revival and make it once a week not once a month. 

You the company are going to see a mass exodus of players unless you have a rethink.

What about balancing?

Either you're only all day or pay a fortune.

To me, this looks like another corporate finance fallacy.

Plarium is tilting the game in the direction that suits the players, from where 80% of profit occurs, not realising that these players only make up 20% of the entire Sparta population. The long-term problem is that the remaining 80% of population (non or small-coiners) will quit and you end up with a game with big coiners fighting big coiners. Without the remaining population, I seriously doubt that the big coiners would find enjoyment in just outspending each other.

Just my reflections, I could be wrong.
