As you lads all know by know, it has happened..
Change is made, and that will in big way impact production of weapons. In my previous article i have explained what will happen based on info we got from admin news, and while i think its bad update due to devaluation of companies we have and reduction in damage.
Im not talking about size of number, just damage in relation of TP medal and each other, only metric that it can be measured
There is one thing admin did change after reading my article :) , and while its not great, its much better than originally planed by admin.
Thanks Admin
Change that admin was originally panned can be seen in this article with explanation what will really happen
Admins planed change analyzed
Now lets get to it and see what has really happened.
=============================================================================================================================
Compared before now we have 2 kind of weapons from Q1-Q7 for each land and naval warfare, while before we only had 1 useful that was Air and could be used on both land and naval battles.
There was reduction of damage for each of 7 Qs of weapons, here is table
OLD --------- Planed by admin-------- Actual change--------- Difference to OLD --------- Difference to planed
Q1 --- - x0.4 -------------- x0.3 ---------------- x0.3 ------------- 25% --------- 25%
Q2 --- - x0.8 ----------------- x0.6 ----------------- x0.6 ------------- 25% --------- 25%
Q3 --- - x1.2 -------------- x0.9 ----------------- x0.9 -------------- 25% --------- 25%
Q4 --- - x1.6 -------------- x1.2 ----------------- x1.2 -------------- 25% --------- 25%
Q5 --- - x2 -------------- x1.5 ---------------- x1.5 -------------- 25% --------- 25%
Q6 --- - x2.5 --------------- x1.8 ---------------- x2 -------------- 28% --------- 20%
Q7 --- - x3 -------------- x2.1 ----------------- 2.5 -------------- 30% --------- 17.3%
So as you can see, instead of planed 30% damage nerf while using Q7, admin has changed it to 17%.. You are welcome :)
Now we can see that Nerf Hummer was hard on Q1-5 and bit less on Q6 and Q7 weapons,
Some of you might think its minuscule disparity, but it can be big if scaled up, just do maths.
Example if Q4 was nerfed by 17.3% than you would need 77 less weapons per every 1000 used, or 7700 less for every 100 000 used (so you see it can be big on large scale as often here is the case)
While i personally wont like it as i have just under 400 Q4s, and only 2 Q7 factory, due to now making bit more sense to use Q6 or Q7 weapons, i do think its positive change. Many like me have ignored high Qs weapon factory due to much lower return on investment, other words Q4 was better Bang for buck.
So Admin, while i dont like that 7.7% extra nerf, its good move for encouraging people to use Q7 if they can and i will enjoy my Q3s as before :)
============================================================================================================================
Now lets talk about one big issue that players who supported game financially had faced.
Reduction of cost of building factories is good for someone planing to build some in future but bad for everyone who already has them build especially guys who have spent money in game and here is why.
If someone has been buying gold or packs, in hope of using that gold to build companies and lets say bought 100 000 gold since game started, and used all that in weapon factories , here is how much they just lost by devaluation of companies.
One Q4 company costed 270 gold so 100k gold could buy him 370 companies, with new update of 180g he could build 370 companies for 66 600 gold, so
value lost is 33400 gold or if he was to build them today for 100k gold he could make instead of 555 Q4 factories
To buy 33400 gold using biggest packages when gold is not on offer as its currently, it would take 40 packages of 83euros totaling 3300 euros.
Buying it only on x2 more gold offer asconveniently today, person lost only 1650 euros
For Q7 loss of value is about same as Q4, but there is 20% reduction in number of workers that person can have meaning someone who use workers will now need 20% more Q7 factories to produce same number of weapons as before update.
If someone did buy gold outright and spent large amount over the years, and is willing to share info with me privately, i will never disclose , mention anyone's name in any way, but it would help me understand more level of support some players give to game. There is nothing wrong supporting game you like, im my self bit of whale in another game that like,
===========================================================================================================================
Enough about what i thought was bad, lets see what admin did in this update that is good and maybe what he could do to improve it.
- As i mentioned all weapons was nerfed while Q6 and Q7 less than others, In long run i think that is good as it will encourage use of higher Qs more therefore there is that bit reason more to upgrade factories from Q5s to Q6 and Q7.
- I was wondering what will happen with all weapons that we have, and admin exceeded expectation.
its simple, fast and you can change it many times as you like, including one just produced,
great stuff Admin
To do it just go to storage and follow this:
new window will pop up and exchange
- New cost of companies
Well earlier on i was saying how people have lost huge amount of gold due to devaluation of companies new companies are now significantly cheaper.
So while for one that dont plan to build more devaluation was big hit, im sure there are plenty who will plan to build more companies and dont care about dissolving others, meaning this update is FANTASTIC :).
My personal opinion is "hey this is opportunity if i stay long enough in game" as im not warrior just businessman ,
-There is one think i seen, and tested that i think its brilliant part of update and again "opportunity".
Companies now can be sold on market
And this does break it for me, If we take in considerations all good and bad changes related to companies (not weapons just factories), update is Excellent!
============================================================================================================================
Overall, there is good and bad stuff about this update, 2 things that does bother me and could be fixed easy
-We cant change RAW companies, as after 11th of april, i would expect that people will decide to change factories to ratio of about 3-1 land vs naval, but we cant do that with raw, meaning much more weapons raw will be needed while ship raw will overproduce till we dont reach roughly 50% of current number of factories.
- Damage of weapons was nerfed in relation to TP medal (only one that gives gold and we are told that there is too much gold in game due to medals,
(tho i think second one is myth and i will go in to it and see who is right, me or admin :)
That said first one is still big, and if that wasnt issue, there would be nothing wrong with update and mainly positive
how to fix future ship raw issue, simple allow us to change raw companies with some "on m" button, as you did with weapon exchange
(lads make no mistake, for me personalty is better if i sell ship for 0.001 or just ignore it, but weapon raw goes up due to demand to about 0.07cc , instead of both selling for 0.005cc, this change is bad for you who need to buy it)
-If we go by what admin didnt say in his article, about dmg being nerfed due to excess gold, than why it is nerfed?
If big numbers are just big, well take out 000 from dmg and TP medal requirement and we have smaller number, but as that is not the case, i can asume its ether to make it harder to get TP, or just overlook .
If it overlook , than its easy fix, just reduce damage requirement by 20-25% and than we can say nothing has changed in that regards.
=================================================================================================================
There is still more stuff about this update, but i did try to cover most important stuff and how i think it did or will affect game in future.
I know its long article, i just never do it short
If you read it thanks, as it did take me a while to write this, please share your opinion on update or on my article, good or bad, every comment is appreciated especially one on subject.
Thanks

Одлично објашњено !
Svaka čast i puna podrška za dalji rad o7
İ will read
great article o7, hope admin will split the medals into 2: land/naval and start the counter from 0 (wishful thinking, i know). If he worries there will be too much gold you could do it progressive(medal lvl 1-30 =5g, 30-100=8g, 100-150=10g, >150=15g so doing dmg will be at least partial worth it, i ll leave it to admin to think about the numbers). Having a chance to get "fresh" gold while fighting will generate more activity, more resources usage and who knows, maybe a baby boom.
I would say that two issues are real - lowering damage thus needed more weapons for medals, and lowering number of workers. Depreciation of company values is not really an issue. You didn't buy gold bar to sit in your inventory and have fixed price, instead you invested gold in production. Every player had large return on those investments in weapon companies (whether it was made for selling or fighting). Try with starting 100k gold and building pricier companies, and then producing in them for 1-2 or more years vs waiting and building companies now when they are cheaper.
Cooi, its not issue if you never plan to dissolved them but sometimes you need to bite bullet and take opportunity and change if needed. I did few times before leaving game and most recently when i returned, in January something like enough to generate about 35-40k gold, just to reinvest in other areas , one of them was pets ( Cat), storage, raw etc. But now, hugely important part of update is ability to sell company rather than just to dissolve it. Point is that some people do dissolve companies, and who bought gold might not be happiest about this.. as i said, im opportunist
Well, pardon me if i am wrong. BUT, every one of my Airs companies now produces Naval weapons. I Never intended for MY companies to do this. This is what is throwing all the raws Off.
Companies you can change, but you have to do it Individually, go in to one, you will find swap button... You can do this back and forth, many times as you want
OK, i tried swapping Naval for Army (airs) Over and over and over again. It always reverts back to Naval
Air is naval, hells are now q7 land main unit
Dont get it why Admin didnt offer option to switch raw companies too from wep to ship and other way round....
