| Difficult thing about this is that specific stacks/units decrease n decrease over time (The -5% thing), and you can directly purchase/hire them like in Pirate, you have to Find them again. |
| I wonder are dreadbanes any good in this event? Their speed and chain looks promising. any thoughts? |
| Probably not, need many of them to be strong enough I think. |
| i got 40 hell hounds and they are awesome , big ini + 8 speed well good 1st move |

Typo, meant Cant* |
| After 20 matches I was barely able to make an army strength of 2107. So to get 12k for potions seems to be far fetched, let alone 10k for hunter points. Admins keep outdoing themselves every event. |
I don't think so.
I played extremely badly and lost two battles on day 1. And didn't play with best arts but I have 2631.
Did you recruit too many melee troops? |
| I kept getting rogues and their upgrade is so expensive I needed 5 gold wins just to be able to upgrade them. It's lousy that you have to upgrade all of them and cannot upgrade some of them. |
Ah I see.
Yes luck so far is a big factor in this event unfortunately. My first day I got horrible encounters. Also I upgraded xbows so now I'm stuck with that forever :/ |

First day we were around 600.
Second day around 2000
That's more than 3 time first day.
This mean 3rd day you should be over 6k. and reach 10k during 4th.
BTW the advantage of shooter army is that our arts initiative does count. And our shooter are much faster that enemy's. |
| I checked my last event, at the end, I got less than 9k strength. So, I don't think I will get any HG point out of this one. Of course, there might be thousands of others doing better than I did... |
for Lord MathProfessor:
First day I got 1045, since I started with 234 or something, it's about 800. End of day 2 I have 2631, so about 1600, so at most double. If I get about 2.5k tomorrow, and 4k day after, I'll have over 9k. So yes by end of day 5 for sure a lot of us will have 10k+. And most should have 10k+ by end of day 6, so at least 20 battles left for hg pts. |

how much do their upgrades cost? |
2698 on day 2
btw this even has dynamic balancing : if you have higher score than average player then you gain few creature even for hard battle. but if you have lower score than average player, you gain big stack even for easy battle.
so everyone score is pretty much become normal distribution (bell curve), of course there are also top performer and bottomline. |
for krabylos:
Wait wait, how is average calculated then? If it's based on current rankings, then players who play the battles early are in a big disadvantage?
I was indeed receiving pretty bad troops after my 15th battle... |
it is projected based on number of battle done, so no problem who play early.
when you get ahead, you can feel that the battle harder and the reward are lesser. |

Actually I saw battle are harder reward are same strength.
Example: mistress always came in 21 groups |

Makes sense, I also got 44 rogues at some point, and later I saw about 30-34 three times (during the same search round). I thought it was just random factor, but maybe not |
| it is how they have ensured that you are not able to hit an exponential curve of growth which lead to super massive armies last time. It should be that the difficulty increases at a higher rate that creature growth, so the harder your battle, the greater the difference |

I got 55 in between and now i see 36 again, so there seems to be a lot of randomness as well |
