Hi there,

This is not a guide. If you'd expected to read the 35789th guide, stop reading here. However, it is a topic which complains in one way about the new BD, not the game itself, but the players. I also am looking for an answer to some questions.

TOKENS:

Tokens are great, and I love the new supporting system (compared to the old one). Nothing wrong with the system itself. HOWEVER:
Although rewarding helpful people/ winners with tokens is a good deed and a way to stimulate players to do their best; it has one enormous disadvantage. Players don't care about honour anymore, all they care about is tokens.
Knowing that era winners get about 1000 tokens, 2nd place 750 and 3rd place 500... Often the nr.2 and 3 alliance just hand over their relics to the nr.1 to avoid losing their alliance rank and to get a lot of tokens.

As a consequence, a lot of eras end early (tick 1200) and are boring all around. Everyone surrenders and trades his/her honour for cheap tokens.

SUBS:

Recently I've been noticing how many nr. 4,5,6 alliances beg the nr.1 or 2 to become their sub as soon as they are attacked, without any fights, to preserve their precious ranks. Often the era turns into a bipolar world, where there are two major powerblocks, in which one more often than not has a much higher score than the other.... Not very exciting.

UNRIENDLY FRIENDLIES:

Friendly alliances are not friendly because they're friends. Oh no, all they want is to be sure you won't attack them; meanwhile they try to snipe every conquer you're going for, in their range (which often extends over yours).
I've heard alliance members of mine ordering to jam allies' gates just to stop them from sniping us... Lamentable.

ALLIANCE NAME CHANGE:

On itself good imo, that the cost for changing your alliance name is only 1 E, BUT some people tend to abuse this feature, and some alliances change their name every 2 ticks, which is very confusing for others.

CHEAP NAME TRICKS:

I see a lot of cheap names too, like <insert name> just watching; aiming for not being attacked. How stupid is that? Give up your dignity for a stupid name? Btw, the colony and ruler name feature of the old BD was much more professionnal and funny, imo.

A LITTLE QUESTION:

I see a lot of top players sometimes launching their full army (say 25 squads) at a distant eenemy outpost...; why???

Oh just wait.

a incoming challenge for me awesome ill take it I never give up remember that o: that reminds me the spam section i gotta go over there and get that last post

Thanx!!! good one

first for tokens.

ppl usually use 1000~1500 blue for an era, not to mention the amount of red that big boosters used. 1000 blue reward at the end is not enough to be reward.

And about how they do with the era, it's their own business. If u're not content with how they do it, then stand up and fight. Easy as that.

And about friendlies and sniping, if u're getting sniped, and u don't like it, u should better improve ur network and be more active.

And it's true that some ppl were just watching at first, then they decided to be serious later in the era. And no those ppl putting "watching" in their name doesn't mean they want to be safe and not to be attacked. Ppl don't care if they are just watching, just chilling or not, they attack and conquer all.

To be fair, lately rewards seem to be higher. I got 1.5k from HeHe (2nd), 1.5k from S0LD (2nd) and 2.5k from GoT (1st). I think that is an acceptable amount of tokens.

by default, the rewards are 1k for 1st, 500 for 2nd and 250 for 3rd. The admins are increasing the rewards lately to attract more players.
