I did write a response to this in another tread- but somehow it has vanished. I am very sorry for writing double if it somehow turns up again.
I have been wishing for new quests and adventures for a long time, so I should be happy now, but after testing a bit on the test server I am not.
Many of us are struggeling to get room for everything on hour home island, and now lot of new buildings is introduced. The new island does not give much more room, when you consider room for more population and all the new production chains.
We need now to make room for 3 different kinds of troops - 2 if you like me dont do pvp. That is a lot when most are struggeling to make room for nobles or Mag res. So again we need more room, or maybe to be able to hold more population in the nobles and mag res,- level 6 on nobles does not make a huge difference.
Doing just one of the new adventures and clearing my island used up so many troops of the new kind that it tool more than 3 weeks for new troops to cook. Yes I did use more troops than I had to- but even so, the new troops are too expensive and they take too long to make. They dont match the new bandits at all.
If the Elite troops and the new bandits are not matched and balanced better, I can estimate that maybe I can be able to do one adventure of the new kind a month. I don't have the patience for that. I need to have something new to do if I am to stay interested in this game.
So what is new then ?? we have to make new production chains and we have a lot of buildings to upgrade, but in essence it is the same just with some inflation, most of us will have to keep on doing the same old adventures over and over, as we cant afford to do the new ones.
Not sure when I am too bored and find a new game to play instead, but still hoping for things to be balanced better before this hits us
