That's your hardest battle? I get less than half the silver against bigger armies:

Benefits of the lower level in this game. I wouldn't want to see what kind of army shows up for over 1k silver for my level. |
| I'm level 8 mate. Against a level 13. |
Generally the army size does not increase beyond unreasonable levels as to which you would normally expect for a player of that level.
What tends to happen is higher difficulties have a greater number of cannons, and may be from a higher combat level than yourself.
That being said it does seem like lower levels have an easier run on this one than higher (as I think someone of an earlier level stated previously in this thread)
It does mean that the increased difficulty of higher silver is not as great as you would think, though if you push it, it is much harder to judge, since so much damage is relied on from cannons and they can be easily blocked. |
My two 1200+ silver fights. One lose one win. The build is fun to play although it's not as competitive as the full defense might build.

Interesting, I dismissed any build like that as I thought central talents did not work, evidently they do. Completely changes up what is possible, though too late to do anything about it now really.
Nice work. |
| By the way Lord Ragnaros (I still think of you as MyEvan2, sorry) what is your total silver count? |
for Lord MilesTeg:
I'm sure two DE's central talents not working. Alt dwarf and holy Knight's are working together with hell fire. However besides the above ones, rest are useless.
I got 81.7k silver this time. Not too great but I'm not disappointed either. |
I think not too great is in comparison to perhaps your own expectations of yourself, I think you are likely to find that it exceeds comfortably the majority of us.
Personally I am on track for about 66k, lost 8 already, generally from poor judgement in the strength of the enemy and others from trying out builds that were not that effective.
Interesting that as you get to higher silver rewards (around 900 plus I think( the hp of the enemy cannons reduce (balanced by there being more of them). This is quite significant as then they are able to be killed with one meteorite shower. I switched away from the chaos build earlier on when this was not possible so readily, as in the mid levels (600-800 or so) they have less cannons, though each has more hp. |
| For comparison. So a level 8 player can play with 5 cannons against 2 AI cannons while the higher level 18 player has to play with 7 cannons against 5 AI cannons with also larger stacks for the exact same amount of silver. Yeah, how well 'balanced' this event is. Instead of lumping all the players in the same end result list they should create a list for every combat level apart like it is for survival tournaments, and dispense the awards that way. That would be a real balance and make it fair for all. But no, in here they want the lower levels to keep on dominating the events so that the high level players will keep on opening new low level noob accounts to use for the events. This way it will seem like the game is getting a healthy dose of new accounts while in reality it is on life support. |
Okay @ Lawton, since you like to complain so much:
1) Enemy has more cannons at my level! Boo!
Here's a link to an easier battle:
https://www.lordswm.com/war.php?lt=-1&warid=1053344453&show_for_all=L8e9f0755b4
5 vs 6 AI cannons equal stats. I looked briefly at all your battle links, the MOST you dealt with were 2 AI cannons.
2) OMFG, higher level players have to deal with larger stacks/upgraded stacks etc etc.
Well you don't say, there's a reason you are at a higher level. Let's look at your last battle link vs the lvl 20 demon for stats comparison, seems like your toughest battle of the lot.
Lawton's stats (Level 19):
Attack: 11 Defense: 23 Spellpower: 37 Knowledge: 12 Total: 83
Opponent's stats (level 20):
Attack: 41 Defence: 39 Spellpower: 5 Knowledge: 6 Total: 91 (+9.6%)
Lawton's talents:
Expert Chaos Magic, Expert Sorcery, Dominion of tempest, Concealed Knowledge, Fickle Mana
Opponent's talents:
Expert defense, Vitality, Basic Leadership, Rally, Expert darkness, Dominion of curse, Dominion of mind.
Vs.
My stats (level 8):
Attack: 19, Defense: 21, Luck: 4 Total: 44
Opponent's stats (level 9)(using link from 1)
Attack: 32, Defense: 27, Spellpower: 6 (at battle start) Knowledge: 15 Luck: 1
Total: 81 (+84.1%)
My talents:
Expert fortune
Opponent's talents:
Basic fortune, Basic leadership, Rally, Imbue Arrow
May be a bit skewed, charmer elf racial talent and all, but still, at least 50% stat difference. Shoutout to Lord ragnaros as well for posting his battles, it seems like as a level 18 (107 total stats), he heavily outstats the level 19 Lawton, which leads me to conclude that Lawton is being cheap in this event.
3) Separate combat level lists! No fair!
May be a valid point here, would need to see the no. of active player stats for each combat level. Let's say you're right and there are more active lvl 8s than lvl 18s, less competition for you at your level right?
You'll still finish in the bottom half regardless, looking at the way you're playing lol. Have you ever placed in any survival tournaments by the way?
4) Game is on life support! Fire the devs!
You're correct. But before I give my explanation, pray tell us your age. Doesn't have to be exact if its too sensitive for you, go ahead and give a 5-year range.
In conclusion, sure it's easier for lower levels as I said so myself @lord milesteg a few pages ago. However, the difference is not as large as @Lawton makes it out to be, as proven by data from @lord ragnaros in 1,200 silver battles.
Don't like the game? Go play DotA (don't ban me please admins XD). |
| *Edit: First battle link vs lvl 20 demon. |
for Lawton:
You are stooping so low man. Knock it off. You are trying to put another guy down to make your point. Pathetic. Leave the game if you hate it so much. |
for Ignis aurum probat:
You did great in the event. You don't have to justify anything. |
for Ignis aurum probat:
You did really great, no second thoughts about it.
But these events really doesn't work in the way you made stat comparison. The amount of creature you have and we have are same as it is based on ship level and capacity. Now higher level opponent can one shot you where as lower level AI cannot. |
| Thanks @neon10 and ninja lord. Point taken, agree that its harder at higher levels. But not to the extreme extent propagated by @Lawton, just to be clear. |
agree that its harder at higher levels. But not to the extreme extent propagated by @Lawton, just to be clear.
True.
Just take Ragnaros' score for instance.
Once again whining because he couldn't do well and blaming that "everyone" hates it by I literally see noone except him whining everytime and saying how 'everyone' is pissed by admins. |
isnt this normal for every event now?
I dismissed any build like that as I thought central talents did not work, evidently they do.
come on man, i said on like the first page that firedwarf central was working |
Victories / Combats: 102 / 108
Silver available: 1,252
Silver gained: 78,290
Not the best result. Struggled at +-600 for a while. |
for death2all:
True, though equally elemental call as not working. Some did, some did not. I did not feel inclined to go through and test which ones did and did not, so assumed hellfire did not work. There was no clarity on whether hellfire would or would not work from information earlier on. Of course if I am mistaken and that info was there I am happy to concede my fallibility. |
