I completely understand the concerns each and every one of you have. I understand the concern that removing some of the blue tokens for voting gives the impression that we are leaning toward supporters on this issue. Please understand that this is simply not true. Lowering the blue tokens from voting is an attempt to mitigate abuse of the blue tokens feature, and is in no way connected to any of the other updates (save #3, which is intended to help balance any blue token shortfall).

As for the battle system change, this is an attempt to try and balance the competetive nature of the game, and especially to inspire people to stay competetive later in games when rounds of play tend to become stagnant. It is these late game times, when the top alliances are WAY out in front from everyone else that people tend to just give up and throw in the towel because there is simply no way to catch up. It is our hope that this will be alleviated to some degree.

Don't get us wrong, we know that this is likely imperfect, and will need some tweaking as we go. This is natural, because quite simply, we cannot know exactly how, where or why parts of it will need to be tweaked until we see how it affects things once it is applied. Little things like 'removing score from those who lose' may or may not become a necessity. We do not know yet, and none of us will until we see how it pans out. Please rest assured that the end game for us is quite simply "improvement of the BattleDawn experience".
