I am amazed that after 2 events in which we have been required to make power of provision spells people are still so bright to use up all there relics so they dont have the ability to make spells anymore. (seen this complaint more)
You would expect this to happen to a newbie (who is quickly able to scout a provincie and fix it)
But from a player who is active on the forum to make such a mistake, and then complaints about it *shakes his head*
I now already know that spells most likely power of provision is nessesary in the next event (cristmas/new year?)
So I should at least stock up some relics of every type (+ the ones I need for wonder upgrades)
the problem with this is that the ability to get the relics has been severely cut down with the battle redesign. players cannot do enough encounters in tournaments to stock a big amount of relics anymore, and remember each type takes more than 2 months to come around again, so if you cannot fight much for some reason during a particular week ( you might be on holidays for example), then you are stuck waiting for over 2 months to have another chance.
this, compounded by the fact that most players were told not to do anything on the world map as they are too far ahead already, creates this type of problems.
I would also like to address here the problem with quests asking for scouting and earning relics during events. We are not supposed to scout too far ahead, yet we get quest after quest asking us to scout???
In my baby city, that is only in middle of chapter II i was forced to do 3 provs for the walter's event because i have no access to tournaments and i needed to get 17 relics. i also had quests to scout provs. Now, because of this, I am nearly at the limit of provs done for the next chapter, which means, if i don't speed up tech research (which i really cannot do, since i have no source of kps), I risk having to go above the 30 provs needed for chapter III during the halloween event.
Now keep in mind, I haven't been able to win fights in this city, because i seem to always be ahead of what the designers intended, but i am trying hard to slow down in the map so i can fight in chapter III. But these events are making that impossible.
Considering all the limitations the battle redesign brought us, the events shouldn't have quests that require fighting or progress in the world map, or the use of relics. Yes, that will limit the developers greatly when designing the events, but it is their own fault. They greatly limited the players gameplay, so now what do they expect?
Edit: we have a saying in Portugal: you cannot make omeletts without eggs... you took away our eggs, how to do you expect us to do omeletts now?
