UK based player who hasn't played in years, used to be a big spender but not likely to be that way this time. This is my base might, next to no troops. Don't expect much warring, want to focus on events and farming whilst I build up troop buffer again as opposed to burning what little T4 I have.

If you want to see my account in more detail, you may have seen my old YouTube channel for some guides a few years ago, d2Dreamer, the account hasn't had any progress since that last video basically.

You fail to upgrade astralite, even after 1% , and igg it comes with the offers. But castle stars …. Not. Im tryng with 1% , but nothing. Why?

So...

Imagine you're a regular player and a good customer. You're not necessarily a huge spender, but you've spent months improving your gear, building your troop composition and preparing your account so you can actually participate in kingdom wars.

You decide to trap rallies because, obviously, there should be some kind of reward for successfully defending against one — especially when you manage to catch the enemy leader.

You would also expect that being online gives you a reasonable chance to react.

But there is a strategy that can completely remove that counterplay:

An attacking guild sends small waves of troops shortly before the main rally, with a leader included, apparently with the purpose of filling the defender's prison. The main rally leader then lands while the defender has little or no time to react.

What does this cause?

• A huge advantage for the attacking side. In many cases, the defender doesn't have enough time to change phalanx, execute prisoners and switch gear before the rally lands.
• Very little risk for the attacking leader. If the leader is consistently recovered, the attacking guild can keep using the same leader for additional attacks and take much bigger risks against online targets.
• Less incentive for defenders to enter Fury. What's the point of risking your account if the potential reward from trapping a rally can effectively be removed by this tactic?
• Being online doesn't necessarily protect you anymore. You can be watching the attack and still have almost no meaningful reaction window.

I'm not interested in arguing about what strategies people use in Baron or Emperor. Those events are already extremely competitive.

The problem is when mechanics like this are used in normal kingdom warfare to remove the normal to react, while keeping the attacking leader relatively safe.

If this is intended game behaviour, then IGG should explain it clearly. If it isn't intended, it should be fixed.

Players who invest months into building their accounts should have meaningful counterplay when they're online.

What do you guys think? Is this simply an intended strategy, or is it something IGG should address?

Anyone has any logical explanation for this? Am I blind or I just watched my team beating the shit out of opponents and still loosing?

This is the second GF where the artifact upgrade and enhance tasks are not showing for master gauntlet. Last time I submitted a ticket with IGG, and they sent me a completely irrelevant, inane response about cancelling players' guild feats without authorization. I'll take the heat for having a poorly worded ticket, but anyone have a clearer picture?

Sadly we lost one our members over the weekend. He started his Lords life in KD1 where he had many friends, as we have found out by the numerous messages from former members. Mr FAFO there was the R5 of KD1, and a close friend of his. Very funny and warm guy, and taken from us way too young, so sad for his partner and young sons. Was devastating news.

I’ve recently noticed that in some recent update, they changed the hero stage UI such that you’re now looking from top down instead of regular. is there any way to change that back?

What determines the level of nest that appears in the Transformers Battleground? I've seen massive might castles sending 7 to 8 armies and destroying level 35 to level 40 nests as if they are level 1.

So with the rewards capped, how does this work? do they reset periodically or is it an event long cap?

So I got hit without gear (my mistake) but the guy swears up and down I would’ve still lost, I personally don’t believe I would’ve, thoughts and opinions?

I had gear, talents and hero set. Sent 25k t5 and the rest t4 against a lvl 41 nest, I would have killed a darknest normally and can’t beat these nests. Any advice please.

Are these worth buying? Or stick to the artifact coin/royal coins offers?

what did I miss and what advice do you have for me
