I don't like the PvP Arena system ! Too "casual" ... just clic and see the outcome ... totally no strategy (which makes me most sad !!) you can try out ! You even can't see what's the defending army of one you going to attack ! Very disappointed so far !
I don't care that much about the reward chests, but even then : they're not that "woow, I want this!" ...
It will be better if they also add something "unique" !
And how am I supposed to win against players from era's way above me ? Ridiculous !! Or am I forced to build at least Deal Castle or St. Basil ? (big groan!)
I WANT at least Inno change this to MANUAL battles !!!
Maybe a suggestion ?
1) Why not give us always a second chance ? At first we can't see the defending army (like on the GvG map), then, at a second chance you do battle (MANUAL !!) where you can first change your army and start battle. You can also clic on surrender (= you loose 1 Attempt doing this, seems logical) if needed to not loose all your army units ! .
2) OR, if you stick with only auto battle : show us at least the units of the defending army !
3) OR something else, but please give us at least something to think about (read : strategy ! ) ... currently it's stupid boring !!!
