Battle System Rebalancing- Poll

[Ammok]

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

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.

[FishSmell]

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.
