First impressions about Village defense

[Matey]

well. first village defense is over...

my observations...

50k gold for defenders resulted in awful gear. there seemed to be enough variety, but hell... look at the one handers... also, i think we ran out of ALL weps by the end.

of course, the attacker also suffered from poor gear as gold is scarce and gear expensive.
props to attackers though, they were 22 players vs 68 and killed as many as they lost.

oh also, the awful gear means awful xp.
Before: 22,845,284
After: 22,850,874
30min for 5,500 xp.

lastly... i thought ranged was supposed to be worse now? but im pretty sure most of the top players were archers. if im wrong about that, then someone feel free to correct me.

yeah the gear was very lame, it was... how can one say it, a bit to serf like ^^

[Duster]

That's how it was before, and I think that's how it is supposed to be

What I don't get is how the union managed to get that much gold/troops in such short time? The union actually had better equip than the villagers. They even had heavy armor and horses. All this while others r struggling to get even a bit of gold. Weird

Troops is easy, they also didn't have enough gold to cover all of their troops, it would be interesting to know the exact number of how much they spent.

They spent roughly 3.5k on their standard armor alone, which isn't that hard to imagine if they were active before crafting went into effect and already had much more.

Don't be passive aggressive, at least have some balls and call them out if you are going to. 

As for the topic at hand, I agree with Matey the defender gear for villages seemed a bit low. Could you leave it at 50k and then do say separate stack or pot of gold for hiring? I would assume that even though there are no payouts, villages paying what people are asking for eats into the overall amount thus lowering the gear?

Keep in mind that with all items 4x more expensive - 50K gold = 12.5K gold in last strategus, which would be low for a village defense.  They usually had closer to 15-20K

yeah that needs to be accounted for, so villages should prolly have something between 100k - 200k instead

id like to see the old equipment prices back, and make gold a bit easier to come by.

You are but millions. Our unnumbered nations
Are as the sands upon the sounding shore.
We are the Scythians! We are the slit-eyed Asians!
Try to wage war with us-you'll try no more!
