It is very interesting - and I know a lot of folks do not like these events because of the supposedly imbalance of some of the troops stats. I for one actually really get into them to see what kind of troops work and what can I do to get the most out of whatever it is since I still need things like souls, and gold, and glory. And I start looking into how to incorporate them into play. I was a bit surprised this week because 10 of the humans had some form of gold enhancement. I started to wonder - does dev have a stat sheet they work from for building new troop (concepts are great for story but sometimes the balance seems to be missing in a color, trait or function or the overall arch with that feature) The % gold bonus troops seem to need some additional support or buffs. How many troops gain % Gold bonus 25% = 7 50% = 0 75% = 0 100% = 0 Apothecary, Dwarf Lord, Finley, Johnny Bronze, should 50% based on second trait. Merchant Prince should have at least 75% being his gold bonus is at third trait How many have a + bonus with matches +2 = 12 +20 = 1 Merchant Prince should have more than +2, especially since its a 2nd trait which normally costs more. Also Bandit, Captain Skullbeard should as well have more than +2 How many of the gold enhancers actually have an attack ability (not just ability to do skull damage attack) = 3 It would be nice to have at least one that had some solid attack. I don’t really count The Mimic or Gog and Gud to be reliable in their attack options. Yet if you go over to % soul bonus seems to be higher favor in bonus support. 50% = 12 150% = 1 How many of the soul enhancers actually have an attack ability (not just ability to do skull damage attack) = 8 (Green is missing from this group oddly enough) Anyone have any thoughts?
