Faction troops are regressing, instead of progressing.
So basically 5 months ago the designers saw the complaints of having to rely on RNG (treasure room) to get City of Thieves to 2500.
And because they are contractors who don’t give a damn if the game succeeds or not long term.
They decided to troll the player base by making troops designed entirely on RNG.
… Thanks for ruining a game that used to be great on a semi monthly basis. You all should feel really good about yourselves.
