Given that it's using defending army stats, I somewhat doubt that. Or at the very least, a wide range extending to much lower than that probably makes sense so that *some* value is gleaned from a small investment in defense.Honestly I expect quite a challenge, units with 1000 attack and 1000 defence in 2 waves in the last confrontation at GE5 in SAJM.
What would you consider outrageous, on the assumption no diamonds are involved beyond buying an extra negotiation turn?You have the alternative to negociate... but what if the negociations costs will be outrageous?
That would be highly unfair to the non-fighting community. It’ll be expensive in default for sure. Likely more than GE4 but to what extend is to be seen.Or one of the negociations slots will always ask for 10-20 diamonds?
We'll have to see. It's a hard balance to strike. But I can say I can handle quite some crazy negotiation costs without any additional city space. i.e. I've negotiated well past attrition cap on occasion in GBG when I used to actually care.You have the alternative to negociate... but what if the negociations costs will be outrageous? Or one of the negociations slots will always ask for 10-20 diamonds? Obviously if you want to finish the expedition you will pay the diamonds, but, in the long run you will increase your defending stats by quite some margin to get rid of the high costs of goods, special goods, diamonds.
I expect the new level to be rewarding but also very challenging, no matter what option you choose, fight or negociate.
They want to give a challenge to all players, especially to those that increased their attack for attacking army to over 3000. And there is no way to challenge those players unless you basically make their 3000 attack for attacking army useless in GE5.
I just would by the missing 60000 goods for 20 diamonds but don't build the fortificationInteresting costs of buildings..
Interesting costs of buildings..
Yeah fairly certain previous features had similar figures on pre-release footage xDWith a 99.9% chance those values are only placeholders and are going to be drastically cheaper than displayed
am prity sure it will be AB tested like some things they implement , AB testing is when they test stuff here and on international server at same time cause they won't have enough testers here or they will create a temporary server and invite diamond perchaseplayers to go test it there with citys already built to test the GE5An interesting point to consider.
GE 5 isn't like an event, which can be played by anyone, in any age.
Competency to finish GE 4, so as to then enter GE 5 (if indeed that is the plan...), is an important consideration for newer beta players, or those who haven't had a chance to build up warriors, medals, goods, and attacking attack/defense stats, and even city defense stats, too.etc.
Many people in beta have ample quantities of all that stuff so as to be able to exercise the new GE 5 level through traditional progression steps. But many want to, but can't. Maybe one time by pushing hard through GE 1-4, (having people help with goods, etc), but certainly not in a sustained week to week testing cycle.
People will most likely try it once, then exhaust themselves and not be able to do it a 2nd, or 3rd week, etc - because they know they should't be up there anyway, as their city isn't built out to participate continuously at that level.
So I wonder - to get the best test environment to study this, will there be a special entry point to GE 5, or will only going through GE 1 - 4 successfully be the ONLY key to get there.
It may leave a LOT of people out.
because people now have 2000%+ attack boostwhy is ge 1-4 the same but ge 5 has to be different?
It at least is more challenging to most of us.
I just can't. So, @Knight Roland allow me to ask you - are you happy now with all these innovations? Is that what you've really wanted?
is an impossible challenge still a challenge ?It at least is more challenging to most of us.
