What has plarium done with our prize winnings on high level prizes. Where we use to win several thousand fleet, subs, chips on say a level 85 now they have decreased it down to almost nothing. They have removed almost 2/3s of what we would normally win. We spend all this money on this game, played our hearts out,  and to do a few prizes and find out that they have reduced our winnings. WOW, what's next.

i can't complain i been doing well, i have to admit i was getting annoyed i new i was do to a pay and wasn't getting it, but like ive been taught always have extra back up of troops

level 70 

my second hit, i stopped, and i know the bank still owes me.....

I was stuck on 15 Million Bank since around 1 month now.

The bank value will raise i will get a partial payout and back to 15.

But yesterday i get 2000+ fleet troops, i forgot which and after that my bank was in -3 Million.

Blasphemy : can you share a tip on how did you get that amount of payout...did you use only pirate and mercenary..or ships too...and what kind of unites...please help me :)

i feed the banking

as i never kill the prize fully i yellow bar each prize i do, 

once my offense and defense is all yellow barred, i hit the highest prize 

now the units i use are never armada troops,

You never use troops you can't make, you put those away

i build up mercs and fleets to weaken my prizes

but building pirate units are just as good, but your banking in resources isn't as high 

as using mercs/fleets .......

And I ALWAYS cap my resources, so i never get paid when hitting prizes with resources, this is a waist 

of time, i rather get the troops, so make sure you have full amount of resources in you haven before starting prizes

**** It takes time learning the prize system, 

don't get frustrated if you don't get paid, Eventually you will 

So take your time, and always keep building troops, it's better to have more troops then you need

to finish your prizes when you know you should be getting a pay, some times the game plays with you,

so build extras and have them ready when hitting your weekend prizes till you get paid

AND REMEMBER DONT KILL TROOPS YOU CANT MAKE YET

purpose of prizes for you is to win these units 

i keep losing and losing in those prizes...i lost about 5-6 mil offence units + 1-2 mil defence units.. 

and i never get a prize that return me this amount

Elia do you keep track of your investments & return?

I mean in excel or somewhere?

I keep mine & yes i admit that banking taking a little long than before but it definately pays.

Yesterday i had 13M bank today it is reduced to 9. I had multiple payouts though & invested them back.

but sooner or later it will, & the thing that is taken into consideration is resources

Let say your bonnie cost 5 lumber, 5 gold & 8 rum this is the amount of resources that is considered

it is possible that your 5.5 M offense valued less in terms of resources.

As you go higher you have to feed your bank to a higher value to get payout.

how did you get those rewards and at what lv ?

i never had anything like that before

What you want to do is destroy everything you have on high level prizes. No other way around it. The higher the resource value of troops the faster you fill the bank. High level = 70+ better prizes of 15k+ in armada are in the 90s+
