Last time I checked pirates were known for plundering and attacking, not defending
Pirates ARE the attacking army, so it is just fitting for the boosts to be exclusive for attacking army in this event
I agree, they are the GE L5 opponents with 5-10 X my city defending A/D. So, keeping on the pirate theme, I am the British navy. Pirates attack me, I defend using my canons (defending attack). Right now, my ship has spitballs, I would like some canon power. A non stackable potion to help in GE5, we can't even get that crumb? I actually thought they heard me in the GE5 thread and put that bottle of ink as a new prize. Nope, more attack for attacking army.
Conceptually, the tables were turned in GE5 using defending city stats. OK, fine. But, giving a grand prize for attacking army attack boost? Doesn't make sense. Why change the color? Just make the 40% a wine bottle and the 60% a keg, same color, red. AND, a 60% attack boost for defending army may get higher age players 1 more encounter to attack in the later stages, maybe, in the encounters below 9, before the opponents stats go up like a hockey stick.
Mentioned earlier, the extra L1 Traders Post, actually can get 2 of them. I guess the one extra L1 Panda I have from the wildlife event, wasn't enough, so they decided to make it possibly 2 extra this event? What, is the Panda lonely? They love being alone.
I did like the wheel, was fun watching a neighbor spin, then you come in and take the gold prize with 1 or 2 spins, they do the work, you get the reward.
2023 epic selection kit, no Privateers Boathouse kits? All the other Epic kits have the event building from the year before. Hopefully it is a daily special/alternate, that is all I could think they are doing.
