Good idea Mrs Nom,
This will show the Dev's the overall feeling of the community without having to scroll through hundreds of pages of moans and gripes.
+ Just found out there is more to come , this is only the tip ,,, there is still a new battle system coming which is still in closed beta,taken from the German forums ,,, upto 38 pages of moans and groans

Great idea, I 2nd what Mr Nom said :)
voted, but waste of time really, could be 100% against new system on poll, but it will still be on live server in 2015
Didn't vote -the statements don't reflect my view. BB say they expect to work on the balancing so as it stands at the moment I hate it but there's aspects I like and aspects I don't.
I doubt the current balance is what they will go live with and strongly believe there are aspects (like no weapons in loot) that are long overdue.
If there had been a response that said something like - 'I like some of it but the balancing it went live on TSOTest with sucks big time' - then that would have got my vote.
Edit: I couldn't in all honesty choose 'wait and see' as that suggests I am indifferent when I am strongly opposed to the current balancing!
Voted No, (as in yes it will ruin the game for me) as everyone should. Fact is why they are proposing will change nearly every aspect of the game for the worst.
If this is the best they can do then they need to try harder or come up with a new team of Devs.
There is a long list of things that need improving, maybe they should focus on those things first.
I think you missed the point of having a poll...Quote:

The fact the BB are so oblivious to HOW this will (pegi 7) the game up is beyond me, and the concept of having a "poll" on it is ridiculous.
If a player can not see the downsides of this, the reasons it will not work from an economical perspective and the adverse effect it will cause towards the game then maybe they shouldn't play.
I find the concept of even considering a poll condescending and that a person (or persons) who is (or are) PAID to work for BB and come up with these hair brained ideas is a travesty.
They want to make things harder to top end players ? Fine bring in new content, new adventures with new camps that have new enemies that the work in away that only elites or whatever can be used. Taking the current content and tweaking is not smart, it's lazy.
Having bought 3 Endless Copper Mines just a month ago, only to see that Recruits are going to be pretty much useless in a couple of months - I don't consider this a smart move from a marketing/sales perspective.
Aside from having to tear up my entire island because it's optimized for churning out recruits and bowmen, I might be slightly less negativistic if BB would refund me €150 "useless" investment, though.
ECM have a HEAVY price tag for a reason: Because they're a long-term useful investment. If that changes, I think BB should refund those who spent real money on them!
To make it clearer, the 'poll' was aimed to be a simple visual aid to see where 'we' as players actually are steering towards with regards to the proposed changes.
There are so many comments on the feedback thread that without going through every single one and trying to decipher who feels what, it has been broken down to show this at a glance.
I myself have chosen 'maybe' as I don't mind a couple of the changes but some of it may lead to me considering leaving the game.
There could have been multiple choices to 'fit' many views but again it is to remain 'simple'.
Many thanks to all those who have voted so far.
Can someone point out any advantages? From my perspective, this current iteration would ruin my economy which took an age to set up in the first place.
No need for copper, bread or brew at the levels I've got, bronze swords as valuable as pinewood and those chains which I couldn't afford anyway, like iron steel and titanium becoming necessary.
All i can see is a set of loaded die, with no advantages to the player and massive disadvantages.
Unless you spend gems.
I'm not going to spend another twelve months re-working everything I just spent the last twelve months building up.
I'll find something else to waste my time and effort on.
Pity because this is one of the best communities I have come across but if a game can be turned on its head at the whim of the developers to generate revenue then good luck to those of you who stay, guess what's coming next.
ive gave it a try but i cant see me getting used to it, redoing iron refill every 2 minutes to compensate for militia seeing as no weapon loot is comming. knocking valuable lvl 5 bronze weaponsmiths down building more coal, ive only just got my land sorted
Bad bad idea this will be the beginning of the end of this game..it,ll take forever to build armies after each ad and you don't get weapons in loot.
To be fair you should get more weapons from loot now..i shall move on to something else.cant be arsed rebuilding my land again to struggle on
your addicted mate,all you will do is earn more fivers to buy even more gems.Quote:

Thanks for the votes all, it's interesting to see :-)
Wouldn't trust this current batch of devs with anything this serious, they are already breaking stuff that has worked perfectly for 3 years, and seem unable/unwilling to put these right.
Needs to be said here as there is a lot of confusion: the 'rebalancing' of the existing combat system (what we are voting on here) and the new combat system (being tested in closed beta and subject to non-disclosure agreements) are two completely different things.
Why on earth did you buy three ECMs with real money? Always first buy the gem pits and then anything else.
I voted "changes are good" because, well, they are. Also because I believe that the version currently on the test server will not be the final one (I really hope BB change their minds about universal splash damage!), and because there are more options in it, only the balancing sucks.
...Also because half of my island is empty and because I don't have an endless copper mine.
I think lower levels and those who didn't invest real money into the game will like the new system better - if BB only gets the numbers right.
i think its great ive spent over 700 dollars USA on game and now they will save me that much more was waiting to drop another 150 bucks on event i can save that now and the same i would have dropped at xmas event so thank you bb and the dev team (real mental giants there lol )
a change to the game is always welcome..my island can easily handle this woop bring it on
