Have you tried playing larger maps?

Maybe maps with larger amounts of water on them?

If you see your community complain endlessly about cymanti, why not disable the tribe until it's fixed? It's ruining the game and making the community super toxic.

Why even have game mechanics if you are gonn have a tribe just ignore most of them anyways? It's not "fun variety". It's just annoying.

Trust me, we do see you talk about them.

While we don't want to disable them (due to like, people paying for them and whatever), I can say that we are planning to take a look at them and other aspects of PotO.

I can explain a few things here:

  1. So, the Specials are all slated to get proper reworks and adjustments in time. What you see in the PotO update were to get them down to a baseline so that we can properly redesign stuff. What they have/do now is more of a temporary thing until we can properly examine them.

  2. Aquarion was never meant to use Roads in the first place, and them being able to do so was a bug. We fixed the bug, so it's working as intended.

  3. If whales go, Navalons go. That's just how it is.

  4. Sometimes nerfs are just necessary.

I have no problem with you making images for all the tribes, but don't spam the sub. A post or two with a few of the images at once is fine.

That being said, these look cool and I can't wait to see the rest of them!

Nah, just the owner of the sub

EDIT: Nah, it's actually because I have Reddit Premium

Thanks!

I read your email and was going to reply to it today.

Sadly, the devs are on vacation, so I won't be able to talk with them until they get back.

No, it will not.

Tribes only.

Dragons get countered by a lot of things, honestly. They're pretty fragile, and go down easily to things that can manage to hit them.

That's what I thought, it's an architectural problem. Fixing it creates other issues somewhere else. So it's a trade off between two evils.

As a suggestion, maybe add one extra server check after the first clouds have been revealed. That adds not much bandwidth right?

Perhaps. I know the team is looking into it, we've just got bigger fish to fry. Getting the spaghetti code to do stuff isnt always the easiest.

Meh you think it's a bug, but that means your requirement is not correctly implemented for years now? So I disagree, it's a feature.

If it was a bug you would have fixed it ages ago.

We've tried.

So, if we could, we would, and do actively look into solutions when refactoring code in order to fix this in the future.

The problem is more about trying to find a balance between 'client-side' and 'server-side' operations.

While we'd like to have everything server-side, where the game checks with the server after every action, doing so would require numerous server calls, which might cause issues for players on weaker internet connections.

So, we consider it a bug and will patch it out whenever we can find a way to keep latency down. A fully server-side game isn't entirely out of the picture.

We all know already.

Nah, dev here, it's a bug, not a feature.

Please don't cheat.

We are aware and are trying to get things stable again.
