You mean upside down?i wonder what their next move is. Instead of fixing the core issue we have with these changes, they keep adding suggestions we asked years ago, and are slightly related.

not easy when you encounter 1 knight, 2 orc strategist, 1 dryad, 1 enchantress (all 2*) when you have only 1* , with same squad size (province 7 round 2)

My spire before release notesAbout the "We reduced the impact of regular and premium Expansions in the difficulty calculations for Tournaments and the Spire of Eternity. Premium Expansions have had their impact reduced even more than regular expansions." change :
Collecting data from several cities, @MinMax Gamer found out that base Spire squad size (which is base of difficulty calculation for Spire and Tournament) is well approximated by (B is highest relic boost, T number of mandatory techs researched, A number of AW levels, E number of expansions (includes premium) and P number of premium expansions.)
R = 0.3994 × (1+B) × (1.0045)^T × (1+0.003A) × (E - 0.34P - 4.5), while before this change it was
R = 0.44675 × (1+B) × (1.0042)^T × (1+0.003A) × (E - 0.25P - 4).
Even if the formula isn't correct, what we see is that the cities that see the highest decrease in difficulty in Tournament/Spire from this change are indeed cities with the most premium expansions, but also cities with lower chapter (and thus generally lower number of regular expansions.) End-game cities can even have an increase of Spire/Tournament difficulty with the changes if they have a low number of premium expansions.
But, that's not what we should expect from a reduction of the impact of expansions. Such a reduction should mostly benefit end-game cities with lots of expansions. Instead, they increased the impact of techs, which further increases the difficulty gap between end-game cities and new cities. (The formulas above would even say the impact of regular expansions (in terms of % increase of Spire/Tournament costs) has slightly increased, as it's now adding 1 to a lower number. But we're not 100% sure this is correct.)
Disclaimer : I'm not @MinMax Gamer and thus don't have access to all the actual data used to find this formula. However, data from my cities over two weeks (on live) confirms all what I said above.
Nothing changed
how do you mean nothing changed? is the one picture from last week and the other one from this week? because you realise that your difficulty is set at the start of the spire (and new tournament) and anything you do within that week doesnt impact it, untill the next week. right?My spire before release notes

Thanks Elvenar.
I'm saying that it is not acceptable that at certain point you simply can't win a battle and are obliged to cater. There should always be a 'battle solution' available, and with the growth of the enemies it is unfair that, when we loose, all of the enemies survive. to be fair or the dead enemies remain dead on subsequent attempts, or also our trops, in case of victory, should all recover.I'd ask for a nice change. If I battle and loose, next time only survived enemies should be present, so to give me the possibility to win the second encounter. this change should affect also the spire
Yes I know. 2. image belongs to the next spire week.how do you mean nothing changed? is the one picture from last week and the other one from this week? because you realise that your difficulty is set at the start of the spire (and new tournament) and anything you do within that week doesnt impact it, untill the next week. right?
Wow! You have picture of the future!!!!!Yes I know. 2. image belongs to the next spire week.
