[Feedback] Ali Baba Epic Raids

[Sharpielein]

Based on the units, it looks like we get new units as well and they look like progressions of the "Nomad raiders".

Hmm, let me guess:

Ali Baba Raider - First Strike, 50 Hitpoints, 1000 Damage
Ali Baba Saber Raider - First Strike, Splash Damage, 100 Hitpoints, 200 Damage ...
Ali Baba Raid Leader - First Strike, 50000 Hitpoints, 250000 Damage

No, seriously. I don't even see the point in introducing new combat units:
a) If they are not stronger than currently existing units, they don't add meaningful content.
b) There are already units which are so completely of whack compared to player units (90 First Strike Damage @100%, 20 Hitpoints // 140 Damage @95%, 60 Hitpoints etc.) and we don't get unit upgrades anyways so just adding a different mix does "that" for difficulty anyways.

I think adding versatility to adventures without making (either old or new) content superfluous is very tough. Striking the right balance is much more important than unit setup and layout.

every maintenance BB introduces new bugs. pls fix bugs and performance first.

btw: yesterday's maintenance: what happened? was it stolen by alibaba?

Yesterday's maintenance was postponed to tonight.
Regarding the bugs, recent deployments have introduced more and more fixes, as seen in the Change Logs. So we are working on it.

However, since TSO is an online browser-based game and it gets updated every month, new issues sometimes occur.

fine but it seems that this is just another adventure map and nothing original (only new skin for FT). thoughts about new content brings me to pvp: pvp is full of bugs (i skipped it). i dont see anything interesting in pvp. why we have 2 different fighting systems? (endless BB song about resource sinking and gems $$). in addition every maintenance BB introduces new bugs. pls fix bugs and performance first.

I have never played PvP because of the sheer amount of resources that would require and the fact that my population is already stretched coping with adventure troops and, with the exception of doing loot spots in order to complete quests, I have never played an Epic Raid due to the high amount of troops required, even before the changes last year, so I can't see this new content appealing to me at all.

As for new issues occurring sometimes... With all due respect Ravel, I am finding it hard to remember an update that didn't cause issues. Perhaps if the powers-that-be paid more attention to feedback given on the test server forums and fully addressed the concerns raised there before deploying live updates, then issue-free updates would be the norm, like you are implying.

You're welcome..

Just a little curious. Where are we supposed to get all the resources such as salt that are needed to build the troops to complete this adventure. I have heard rumours of needing 3000 elites to complete it. Most people do not have the population to complete it in the time allowed. If we need 3k elites plus countless other troops then there is insufficient room on the island for the population buildings needed for these sort of numbers. Population buildings need to hold more settlers.

no, we will need at least 10 000C, 4000ES and 2000K plus some S
