And will it reduce the Kingdom power level accordingly? ---

Cool, I just had this mental image of a Troop being refunded, going to 1, being bolstered to 5, then user hits refund again, back to 1, bolstered to 5… endless exploit for souls. (I worked in a QA department once upon a time … was my job to think up stuff like this) ---

Guess it would be possible to code it in a way that it could become an issue. Problem would be spotted quickly in testing. ---

Hey, you added the 30% burn to Bombardier like I suggested. 🙂 Thanks. ---

I like the changes, goblins and true shot get slammed…what will take its place lol. I love the fact the spider is a purple changer now, that’s how I like to play changing the board. Hurry up need to play, sleep is overrated lol. ---

Would you guys consider offering refund on gobchomper? With the changes to goblins he became quite a bit less mandatory. ---

I just forgot that Gob Chopper also get the attack from goblins using devour. So keep him for now. ---

> [@utfanx2](#): > > I hope troops get less attack from level 15-20, because 3x Lamia teams were scary in 1.08. Two Attack bonus Kingdoms were changed to something else, so for high level players everything has 2 less Attack straight up. ---

What is it that i am missing about Goblins in the notes ? The only Goblin change i see is the Zeajin team bonus change that might arguably be better now than it was before. ---

~ Zaejin Team Bonus- has changed from +10 Life for 4 troops to +4 Life and +3 Attack for 4 troops. ---

So they’re getting even stronger with skulls AND still retain their extra turns. I won’t dispose of any Gob Chomper just yet. ---
