some of my thoughts ...
1. The situation where we do not see the enemy army and can only use the automatic battle is terrible.
It can't be that we don't see the opponent's army and we can only choose automatic fight. Even in a football event, we could see an opponent's soccer players and choose our soccer players to get the highest percentage possible. Because I do not see what the opponent who is in an era higher than me has for the army I am afraid to fight. We know AI is stupid. If I could manually fight I could:
Give up and lose points but my units survived or try to win
Solution:
We see the opponent's army before the fight and we fight automatically.
or
We don't see the enemy army and we fight manually
2. Why "Bonus Chest" is the same for every place?
And why should we get coins or supplies? We already have a lot of it. Nobody uses Coins Boost or Supplies Boost ... they are trash and this tower should not give it. This chest should be "Forge Points Chest", where we have a 100% chance of getting forge points.
Example:
First place - 100 forge points (100% chance)
Second place - 75 forge points (100% chance)
Third place - 50 forge points (100% chance)
#4-#50 - 25 forge points (100% chance)
#51 - #100.000 10 forge points (100% chance)
3. For place #1 - #10 there should be a chest "Military Tower Chest" where:
50% chance - Military Tower Selection Kit (Sentinel Outpost, Tactician's Tower, Watchfire)
50% chance - Military Tower Upgrade Kit ( Sentinel Outpost Upgrade Kit, Tactician's Tower Upgrade Kit, Watchfire Upgrade Kit)
This would increase interest in the arena.
