Luscious Larili's `stand and deliver ' alternative BB in crysis quest:Quote:
Hello, I checked with this document from the German servers:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...er=false&gid=1
A few corrections for lvl36-45:
1. Produce 100 baskets and pay 5000 pinewood planks (reward: 200 exotic wood logs)
2. Use explorer long search to find 20 exotic wood logs and sell 10000 resources (reward: 100 gold coin)
3. Produce 350 sausages and buff friends with 100 baskets (reward: 100 map fragments)
4. Complete two random adventures and buy 10000 resources (reward: 500 iron ore)
5. Produce 100 steel swords and receive 150 random buffs (reward: 1000 brew, 100 gold coin)
6. Own 200 cavalry and pay 8000 marble (reward: 80 map fragments, 80 gold coin)
7. Complete Sons of the Veld adventure and own 1000 horses (reward: 500 sausages)
8. Produce 230 settlers (not via provision house! - Village school/love potion and such only) and own 1000 military units (reward: 300 iron ore)
9. Produce 200 iron bars and own 8 adventures (reward: 200 bronze swords, 40 settlers)
10. Compete 4 adventures and pay 8000 coal (reward: 500 granite, 250 gems and 3 medpacks)
Cheers
1. 200 exotic wood logs = My savage scouts find this amount in three days worth of searching on average. no need to sell any resources
2. 25 baskets gets me 100gc, so I'm 75 baskets in profit from quest 1.
3. pfft I dont need 100mf I have enough adventures ( and mf's ) being brought back by my two explorers, I also I make 500 sausages in 12 hours and have 45k sausages in store
4. 500 iron ore is six hours normal production
5. 1000 brew is seven hours normal production, 100gc from another sale of 25 baskets
6. 80mf, 80gc ( see 2,3 and 5)
7. 500 sausages another 12hours normal production
8. 300 iron ore less than six hours normal production
9. 200 bronze swords 40 settlers ooh please!
10. 500 granite 250 gems 3 medipacks = savage scouts average this granite in six days, 6 weeks logins ( 2.5 in future) 3 medipacks pfft, with seven generals I could walk a spare over just as easy so of no value to me.
Thus playing normally I get everything of value in the `Fallen army quest' in under a week ( apart from the gems) and save:
150 baskets; 5000 pinewood/hardwood planks; buying and selling 10,000 resources; 8000 marble; 1410 recruits and 220 cavalry ( average SotV losses) And as I have done it four times I'm not interested in it anymore. ( I've got plenty to sell though ;) ) ; and 8000 coal.
Will I be doing the fallen army ? NO, its neither challenging or has value in rewards. ( A special building is a must for these quests to catch the attention of veteran players)

Who says BB doesn't read the forum? I'll hang my head in shame for perhaps giving them the idea.:oQuote:
( please BB include a SOTV next time around I have a stack of them already, 500 gc a piece, anyone? )
Many thanx to SidV for the info.....
looks like a good quest but the rewards are realy really disapointing!!!!! Realy? :(:(:(:(:(
for these rewards its hardly worth the effort. might skip it all toghether. I see no gain to my island for spending a week on this..
sorry if my honesty insults anyone and my appologies to devs that spend allot of time preparing it.
My 2 cents (put unhappy face in here)
PAY 10 000 Exo Wood for only 100 coins 100 maps ?!? What a joke ??
Do 50 dswords ?!? - no way to make a weaponsmith only for this stupid reward of 250 gems
Well I will skip it as I did last time with the 500 gems and the watermill ... so bad and a joke :(
For 250 gems?

thats cause you are a quest addict dorkan lol ;-)
awful. worse than 4 winds. devs trying to tell this is a suitable CRISIS quest?

Triple settlers spawnrate and game will be thrice as fun, but i suppose you want us to cover island in farms/mills/bakeries/wells. Amount of useless buildings should be alarming and call for some hefty rebalancing. Apparently though, producing vast amounts of irrelevant content is much more important.
I spent today deleting my buildings and giving them away special events are suppose to be about us getting resources and rewards not giving them away no other game dose this they add adventures and missions what do people do at BB all day drink coffe and play proper games on facebook maybe then during lunch break make adventures like lost skull a whole 5 minutes to think of that one for a start anyway dont care another high lvl account that fed up with this junk
I hope this is not the special summer event!
(off topic apologies) Welcome back to the game, SidV! I really appreciated your guides when I started out playing.
after looking i wont bother with this one ether i am not paying 5000 saltpeter and 10000 exotic logs for such worthless reward i only got into the highest level 4 days ago
Hi all.
New quest chain, new possibilities and new disappointment.
Starting the quest with having to produce a 100 Irmas is OK, no problems there, as I'm already producing 150 a day, but paying 5k of saltpeter? with a reward of 400 Exowood planks!
You gotta be kidding.
A nice reward would have been a choice of three or four items.
A gem mine, a endless copper mine or 20k of gems.
this should balance the expenditure of resources used, and give a nice outcome :)
PS. where are the "delete button for this"

Still a step in the right direction. I'm not sure if I'll end up doing this. If I do, it'll just be for the sake of doing something.
Garbage .. again ..... will BB ever learn?
i love the new crisis quest :) thanks BB ... (screenie of the last 10 mins)

This is worst than the last one ...i did the last but this one i'm not gonna do it ...... bad quests BB...too bad !!!
SidV ... + 1 .. 8)
.. and welcome back .. I look forward to your new instructions for adv ..
P.S ..BB .. delete button is missing from the event ...
Thanks for the info sidv,
I'm out of this quest too, but going to help the lower lvl guys get thiers done if I can, 250 gems would probably help them more than me :)
Cheers

is this real? this is even worst than four wheels quest, daang not playing it. pvp please, im sick of these kind of crap.....
ps. and where is the cancel button???
You seen more NO votes so you removed the cancel quest button still not doing it and still going to cancel joke of a game when i have emptied my Island
Once,at the time of the last crisis quest I posted here what I think about this ridiculous quests and about the Devs but of course I did put in words that were not permited though those words did translate exactly what they are.
Once more they do another very stupid chain,I'm not insulting anyone here so MODs please do not remove my post!!!
In my opinion I didn't insulte anyone on the last time,I just said what they are,and they are...can't post the same words but they just don't care about players at all,they didn't pay any attention to the posts that their costumers did post here,so what are they???
Not sure the chain sitting in your quest list does any harm, not sure why anyone would cancel any quest, there is a chance you might complete something just by playing day to day. The first one is a prime example, if you'd rather have 200 Exotic Wood than a big stash of unused Hardwood Planks, why wouldn't you complete it? I know I make loads of Gift Baskets everyday regardless of having this quest or not, and also have a load of hardwood planks.Quote:

Unless I had some kind of OCD maybe and wanted that thing clear!
Pay 5000 salt pepper for 400 Exotic wood which i can add to the ten thousand you take later if i went to shop to buy this stuff it would cost more then 250 gems and medi packs no good to me
And as for having loads of hard wood planks or any thing else for that matter i give to other low lvl players to help them out
What a stupid rewards for such a lot of goods.
But it seems normal at BB.
BB maybe look at this Poll, and see that 67% dont want to play this Quest, so its wasted time, maybe use this time to make +50 levels
Is this what they have come up with to keep level 50 players satisfied and interested think I'll go and watch some paint dry. I'd be quite happy just to continue getting xp from doing adventures or if they let me get to 51 and maybe throw in some extra side quests don't have to keep getting rewards each time I level just let me feel like I'm actually accomplishing something instead of being stuck in a dead end.
most stupid quest ever! please available the option to erase it from my quest book!

poorly thought out rewards and requirements.
This poll really doesn't provide a good accurate stats.
Most people who will do it are probably in the low lvl bracket.
You should have 4 different polls for each bracket
Or adjust your poll answers to include the player's level range.
Dunno, that, I'm lvl 47, got 14 generals, 11 explorers, 5 geologists, has or have had all the special buildings (dama. smith and so fort).Quote:

And I am not going to buy it, with the next to nothing reward in the end. Maybe if BB would be kind enough to give me my resources back when the quest is finished, an only then, maybe I would consider it.
No hard feelings :)
Those subquests should read 'and own 5 / 8 / 12 adventures'. The numbers are in the wrong place.Quote:

I am pretty sure I haven't had 10k ewl go through my stocks in total since I started getting them, but I know that all those I get are turned into planks. How could I fulfil that one?
[ Removed ] . the rewards are not worth the time and resources . PASS
