Opinions/observations to consider

- the defense and offense imbalance with regards to beacons and fortress

1) Offense has HUGH advantage in beacons ...WHY?

- you need 3 x 50% boosts for a hammer vs. you would need a whole league to put a 50% boost just to counter act that

- there is no limit to what can hit Beacons

2) Defense has a HUGH advantage in fortress ...WHY?

- there is a limit to what you can hit in a fortress and the limit is at a point you cant have a good % win so its not worth even hitting

i consider merging the concept of beacons and fortresses (the difference will still be there like def bonuses and knowledge etc)

NOTE: the question and opinions are just there so you can consider possible updates LOL and has no reason for classification besides the fact a Question requires a response which shows it is more important to me

What's the point of VIP program? Why players in that program are given information when beacons gonna drop beforehand? Do you think that it is fair to people not in the program?

My Lord,

that is marketing. VIP players are biggest game contributors so they should get something in return.

Is there any truth in this document?

I have tried many experiments and have never been able to reproduce this - the winner in many battles suffers extra losses, why?

Winner loses over 58%, but it should never be more than 50% - http://prntscr.com/buu1i3

How does this document explain Siege Mechanics and Raid Mechanics?

How many changes to battlegounds/prizes/infestations have been made since this blog was published?
Does this blog need to be completely re-written?

There are many variables. If the defense is in a Castle castle bonuses have to be calculated and adjustments made. Same for a fortress or Beacon. Normally the approximately 16 to 1 offense over defense will win but he losses can be much higher than calculated due to missed adjustments.

There were NO variables in my experiments - if there were any hidden defense bonuses (there were none) then I would not win the battle, I would have lost ... but then my opponent would suffer extra losses instead because he becomes the winner

Why not try these experiments yourself to test them?

How could there be any variables when all battles are fought here? - http://prntscr.com/cpszue
Even Hero Equipment etc was removed to avoid complications

Why are you upset? Somebody promised us that we will get answer on every question.

Nobody promised that we will get truth.

There is many things that can be bought only with sapphires like wall, improvement, fortification, castle skin, altar of weor... and it is needed a great bunch of them, but it is weary hard to get them. Even on tournaments. We need to kill a lot of units for 200 sapphires, and even bigger bunch for 100 more. And only castle skin cost 2000 of them with discount that I did not see in long time.

Biggest contributors? So this is more of a scam then. Probably developers playing the game having everything they want in control. A pen to write price to try to win. Just brain washing people to think this game has some kind of real life value.

Beacons and league fortress are to get people to spend money, give the biggest "Contributors"  want they want. Leaving the conflict of interest to the "Contributors" and actual players to keep game as a farm. 

Avoiding what this game is suppose to be about, going to war.

Guys, as I said before:

When it came to selecting the participants of the program, multiple factors were taken into consideration, such as the amount of time spent playing the game, how long ago players joined, and their levels of activity in the game. The amount of funds invested into the game is secondary to all those factors. We hope that the VIP Program will be seen as a nice game addition for an experienced player.

So basically you can call VIPs contributors, but it doesn't mean that they are only contributing funds.

Question

- why don't you guys add the option to change the Rank at which one can see whats in the beacons ?

Lord Gadheras,

I'm not VIP. As far as I know there are special invitation's for VIP club. In case you're wondering how feel free to ask Alyona how can you join them.

I don't want to, Im just worried what you said about VIP above compared to what Alyona told us before, because it doesn't add up.

We've already raised the Rank starting from which players can see Beacon defense.

really? so what rank can see the beacons now?  I wasn't aware of this change.

I would actually like to know why if we are required to hold a beacon in order to level up our fortress a league who has upgraded their fortress to level 20 is not required to hold a beacon to keep the fortress at that level?

I don't think that you are required to hold a beacon, but some fortress upgrades require us to downgrade enemy beacons

http://prntscr.com/cqc2f1

we are required to hold a level 1 beacon to upgrade our fortress to level 12

I am assuming the number of beacons required to level up the fortress will increase as we progress.
