for virtual_vitrea:
I would imagine as a group battle purist :) you would not like this event
Personally I think some battles are interesting when the dynamic balancing is at the point where it could go either way and you have to assess the field and decide what to do
On these ones strategic decision making matters and it is rewarding when you win
eg https://www.lordswm.com/war.php?lt=-1&warid=836131712&show_for_all=f8325abd25
For others their initial volleys of death are so cripplinng you have no choice but to advance and hope for a timely morale boost or luck etc to even have the vaguest hope of turning things around

Your enjoyment of this event is therefore balanced by whether those few battles of interest are sufficient to compensate for the crushing defeats of no hope, or the easy I could beat them on auto type battles. Me I want to get to FL11 of wizard, so just want some FSP as quick as I can get it, ideally at a good ratio and cheap |

thats my record so far.....played 3 battles with dark barb but forgot to use any talents :(
won those battles but my population and huts died :(
lost about 400 civilians there only :( |
hence i think i can safely conclude, i suck in this event. The whole point is not just to win, but to retain and grow civilians
over here i am winning but my civilians are dying :(
damn :( |
Hozz, they make you win about the same no matter how good or bad you are (ish), don;t be too hard on yourself. As to the civilians, its alright, give them a house and they breed 30 more in the space of a day, thats some serious action going on in there. They must be growing them in vats or something, either that or 100 more people from an initial stock of 1000, there is some nasty inbreeding!

So basically the same if you win your next one. |
they make you win about the same no matter how good or bad you are
Sure about that? :P

i know :P
but next time i am going to buy arts for dark barb....i feel more chances of winning
besides if the reward at the end of the event is not significant then i am going to be pissed :P
i've taken a 100k loan for this event alone :P |
for Night Crawler:
No not sure- that is why I said (ish) at the end - though you conveniently didn't quote that bit ;)
Personally I would rather look at this set of evidence to suggest otherwise
https://www.lordswm.com/pl_warlog.php?id=6941872
25 wins from 26.
I think what those records suggest is that build/faction matters a LOT in this event, but also that perhaps how it scales. The only model I can think of as to how difficulty scales that would aid explanation of such extreme results compared to what I believe to be the average experience of people on this event is if base difficulty is related to resources earned and fine tuning up or down from this base on population.
If you are a poor player/ a badly matched faction etc you may lose fairly quickly. You will have still increased in resources which will increase the base difficulty, but had to use those resources to repair, rather to make better. Consequently the increase from resources gained, versus decrease from population decline means it is still hard for you given that you are a poor player/ a badly matched faction etc.
If you are a good player with a well matched faction/tactics and you win with a high loss of peasants, but not buildings then your baseline would increase, though your population would not so much, so consequently your difficulty does not adjust so radically from the progression you can cope with due to increase in damage from invested resources. Hence a long win streak.
This is of course guess work and I may have got it majorly wrong, but then I like trying to work out problems like this, its my kind of thinking. |
| hey besides this i have noticed that the amount of luck i am getting is far too less inspite of having the luck parameter as normal as 3. Compared to other battles the amount of luck triggered is far too less during these defense battles |
Sure about that? :P
I laughed so hard when I clicked into the Combat Log, and stopped when I clicked into mine. :/

Is better to make the 72 fight or stop at the 40 wins? |
Typically this type of event has a gold reward at the end based on the number of wins. This is no exception as in the announcement it says
When the event is over, you will also receive a reward in gold.
From 0-39 wins you have the incentive that for every win you will get some gold and closer to also winning an art
From 40 wins onwards the only additional reward outside of what you get directly after the battle is the gold. With a particularly good result like you have got so far you may also rank in the top 100 for the event and feel good.
It is up to you as to how much those things motivate you |

Well, today lost 3 times, mostly vs holy knight...cant do much against 600 wardens 180 crusaders 70 wild griffins and 10 thrones all with bless rapid and stone...And the ones i win they target farmers from start in most of battles... |
| should i lvl up in this event by playing it or should i wait for next event |
hey besides this i have noticed that the amount of luck i am getting is far too less inspite of having the luck parameter as normal as 3. Compared to other battles the amount of luck triggered is far too less during these defense battles
in scientific research there is theory of observation bias. when one of the outcomes is favored in this case is luck trigger, observer neglect more of the succesful occurence. |
Does anybody have any idea on the amount of gold we shall receive at the end of the event?
like if anybody could share any past experiences?
Or if there is a certain calculation that i am not aware of?
I mean just a general guess....of approximately how much should one expect? |
I think it was equal to your combat level multiplied by the umber of wins multipled by a fixed value I think 50 - though I am not very sure on the accuracy of that number
So for me at level 15 I would get 750 per win (I think)
At any rate events like these do not tend to result in profit for most, you may about break even if you are frugal with the arts you use but maintain a good win ratio. Or for other events get a top high durability art. So since I remember you said you borrowed gold for this event, yoou will need to enrol lots as well to compensate. |
Well, I'm not doing so well. Very Challenging (good). Some battles you can't win (Good), Winning ratio (sucks!).
