So I had 221 gold keys and 178 glory keys ready to go when the patch hit, and I managed to get both new common troops, two rates (maybe three; I’ve since used many more keys), and one ultra rare with all of that. I realize this is just odds, but the thing is, the more kingdoms we get, the harder it becomes to unlock those new troops, and event keys (the only ones that focus on a particular kingdom) only unlock ultra rare or higher. Seems like it ought to be a little easier, like maybe for the first week a kingdom goes live its troops pop up at a higher rate. Thoughts?

Commons are the rarest rarity. That is just common sense. - Devs 😛
