well done firefly, you have officially killed the game

[Morodin88]

And I am out. That's it. done. The defense cards where broken enough but adding more monking cards? Adding bloody more cards for the heavy carders? you know what I'm out. I would say its been fun but it hasn't.

[LittlePixie]

Expert Protection, Expert Excom, Expert Absolve.

P2W strikes again!

No wonder all of the 'most helpful' reviews on Steam when I looked a day or 2 ago were negative and complaining of the p2w nature of this game.

[Morodin88]

If it hasn't been fun why did you continue to play

I'm a stubborn fool who believed stronghold would see the error of their ways. I stayed for the friends that I surrounded myself with. I Stayed because of the non heavy carders that stood up against everything the carders did to world 9 (Tokhaar, Miladey Skye, Grandy and the rest of the Hammers of * and my recruits from anarchy) but this is the final straw I'm out.

With expert stone structures expert oil pots and expert moats a heavy carder wont even have to ID anymore and when they do they will get double the amount we do. FP is the one thing we had half a chance with but the monking cards broke the game and now This level of defense cards will make sure that the game is now strictly pay to win.

[brianflame5]

aw come on its no that bad i think im going to like this cause i monk a lot

[TokHaar]

it takes 9-11 full attacks to take a heavy carder in the current live game, with these new cards the amount to break and raze a fully built castle will be near 15 attacks that's around 900 cats and over 4500 archers. oh yeah and they can just buy a charter and card up a new castle and village INSTANTLY. then we have the faith system, the only balanced part of the game and firefly have just shat all over it

[brianflame5]

well i kinda like it of course i card a bit but still should make things interesting

[thekpd]

Another worthless update from firefly.
For every good update, theres about 6 crappy ones.

[Morodin88]

How many of you alliance retards in world 9 have had to take on a fully carded castle (1500 points carded) ? Have you seen what advanced oil pots does? Now we have to deal with expert oil pots? how large will 1 pot area be? since advanced was already already a 6x6 lake of fire that ate all your pikeman.... so what 7x7 area for oil... no thank you. We used to be able to take out at least 1 tower per 75 cats. if they were well aimed. Now? now we have to send 100 that cant be aimed well enough to take out the first tower and each subsequent tower becomes almost impossible to take down due to aiming constraints. This broke the game.
