Are you sure? Since before the update, each tribute was around 200-300 glory.
Now, some of my 10+ tributes don’t even make it to 3 digit glory count. I’d take screenshots, but that’s literally every tribute every hour now.

Absurdly lucky tribute from before the patch:
Lucky tribute after the patch:
I am unsure how an extra six kingdoms can generate 14,000 additional gold. Or, for that matter, how to get 19,000 gold out of 20 kingdoms in the first place.

Looking at gold amount won’t prove much, as it can just explain away as player on top screenshot didn’t correct tribute for a whole day, so all the daily gold added up.
Looking at Soul/Glory gain though, it’s clear something is going on. Using your example, how could an extra six kingdoms can generate additional 300 glory and 2,000 souls? It’s impossible unless the tribute calculation is changed/fixed.

Touché.[spoiler][/spoiler]
I’m willing to bet you $500 that they got changed as described, to a charity to be determined by the winner. Anybody on your side prepared to take up the bet?

I agree. Tribute has been cut in half. Sure we get more kingdoms now but the resources have been tampered with. I barely go over 200 glory now. Before it was 3 to 400.
I knew it wasn’t just me. Thanks!

No pic but received 211 glory from a 19 kingdom tribute.

Easily 300-400 less than the average we had before for such tributes. Maybe only 200 less if you are super unlucky with which kingdoms triggered the tribute and 500 less with luck with trigerring the high glory kingdoms.
I had several 18 to 21 (my most) and never ever they gave only 200 glory.
They must think we are blind if they say nothing has been changed.

Or,
If there are a bunch of people mucking about in the code, it is certainly possible someone noticed and fixed a bug. Then, since there was no “known issue” associated with that bit of code, there was no report to make or ticket to close. It would explain why Nimhain didn’t include it in the patch notes, and why Kafka is saying nothing changed (however, a diff of the 4.0 and 4.1 code bases would likely prove her wrong).

There clearly is a tribute nerf

I got 17 kingdom tribute last hour.
So far away from 20 tribute before 4.1 update. I think they accidentally reduce it somehow. Hard to be intentional if they really don’t directly change tribute calculation code.

You may not have intended to change the rewards, but you did. Glory is much lower than before the update.

Glad to assist, here’s the first one. I’ll keep posting one each day to help your efforts to get to the bottom of this, after all it’s causing all players to lose a substantial amount of resources, in a way that wasn’t intended.
The gold amount in the screenshot is inflated by 859 gold hourly income, subtracting that leads to a net worth of roughly 461.
Two of my kingdoms have a net worth of 20, one a net worth of 33, one a net worth of 64, the rest a net worth of 30. Assuming a new calculation formula as explained above, this matches a tribute consisting of 12x 30 net worth + 1x 64 net worth almost exactly, bar some rounding errors. Prior to the patch, this tribute would have given me at least a net worth of 846, at most a net worth of 926, meaning the total has roughly been cut in half.
I think it might actually help to look at PvP defence rewards as well, since I have a feeling it’s connected and you can get some pretty big numbers there that would help show if there’s a difference. I’m pretty sure I have screenshots of ~44 defence wins and similar, from beforehand, and although I haven’t had anything like that for a while (probs new matchmaking algorithm), if I do, I’ll be sure to compare.
