We have to defeat green enemies this week to get the next tier of community challenge rewards. Got it.

Why are all opponent troops in Raid Boss from Khetar?
We are in Vulpacea this week!

You never (or maybe seldom) fight troops from the “kingdom of the week” in Raidboss. Because you’re defending the kingdom from outside incursion.
Foxglove Legendary is not in event chests.
Not 3 months after the event they were release or chest adds announcement.
Don’t try to spend event keys for it.

Huh. It now occurs to me that Vulpacea has 3 Godslayers in the Kindgom.
Apparently, so does Leonis Empire and Zhul’Kari, with 3 each.
Meanwhile, Mydnight has yet to receive one at all.

Yeah, Gems of War has never been good with distributing cycles evenly.
Meanwhile 10 years in, we still dont have a troop that gives a Green storm at the start of every turn, the only color that doesn’t (Umberwolf: Purple, Skadi: Blue, Czernobog: Brown, Stormcaller: Yellow, Red: Sunspear) and we still dont have a 50% mana start for Daemons.
Low hanging fruit to have for a half decent Legendary/Mythic in future releases. Would prefer not to have to wait 10+ more years for it…

Even more frustrating when yellow, for example, has not only Stormcaller but also High Priestess Ch’azka for this purpose. (And we’re not even delving into dual storm options! Off the top of my head - green isn’t featured in any of what we have so far.)
{whistling a tune} Oh, they move in mysterious ways…

Mydnight just got their first Siegebreaker recently.
But. Why do we need a Godslayer when we have Immortal Ossifer residing there?
Or Centaurs, Goblins, Monsters, Mystics, Nagas, Raksha or Stryx. And just 40% for Divines.
EDIT: Forgot Wargare.

It would be great to get a troop that gives permanent hellstorm

Why does everything have to be given “equal” treatment? Why does every color need a continuous storm, why does every troop type need a 50% mana start, et cetera? At what point does one homogenize things to the point where everything is a beige mess?
Yes, the balance is off-kilter in some odd ways. Yes, certain areas of the game have gotten more attention than others, and certain kingdoms have seen disproportionate attention in some aspects, such as the discrepancy in Godslayers.
But I don’t believe the best solution is to pick winners and losers based on some sort of reparations scheme for previous picks.

Balance-wise you can do various things, but when your card number is 1500, it barely has any meaning given you don’t adjust older cards respectively.
When I started this game ~3 years ago there were barely 1k cards with limited usage and various strats. Today it’s all about stella+wand+anything, nobrainer. You can use your brain for fun if you have no better use, too. But it doesn’t affect game’s principles.
Now it doesn’t matter will there be another 50% start or permastorm card, it affects lowest percentile of players.
This is why we need an experienced player with a high level account, most of the troops to talk directly to the devs. I think they have an automated system in place with Randin Jones to determine what new troops and weapons are going to be released every week.
(Even though I think they are being deliberate with that because having a storm in their weapon upgrades that matches their color is too strong) R.I.P mountain crusher.
Having a troop without “Conjure a leaf storm when my turn begins,” really I mean really bugs me. A lot like the summoning bug with Orbweaver in pvp that makes you lose a match. In my humble opinion, Warden should get this trait because “all allies gain 5 armor” is horribly outdated. Classes in general need a massive overhaul, but I will leave it at that so that I don’t write a 20 page eulogy about how this game has gone down the crapper…
@Bramble @Kafka at least pretend to pass along our feedback to give us some hope.
If they did this, wouldn’t it just mean that the meta changed from:
Elementallist / Star of Wands
Stella
X
X
To
Elementalist / Star of Wands
Stella
New troop with perma green storm
Leprechaun

I think most people would agree that we need a permanent leaf storm because every other storm already exists. The best options we have to make a leaf storm are tooth of the wild and daisy’s cudgel.
Yes, they are fantastic weapons, but there needs to be a more reliable way than just those troops. A leaf storm at the start of battle can get easily countered or canceled out.
You can already do it with a purple storm/umberwolf; nothing has really changed. even then people are still likely to use Pharoah Khafru
