Brining it up yet again... OIL PRODUCTION WAY TO LOW

Funken_A

My game is becoming more about defending and mining resources than attacking for resources. One bad attack and most of your days ability to play this game is gone.  I tried to attack a player 10 lvls above me because that's the only players that have resources worth trying for..

Defense is not playing..... Its not active so its boring to not be playing more often

Heck I can't afford to go to bed at night without making sure my army is repaired because in the middle of the night my oil pumps will be full and need to be emptied.. If I was to sneak an attack in before bed then I would have less oil saved up to make a run in the morning so I have to not play the game for the last few hours to ensure i have the oil to repair troops and to ensure I will maximize my oil for the morning

So I ask is this your intention, do you want players playing less and gaining frustration

The only thing you have going for you is the battle system coupled with no wait build times. When the battle system works its the best battle system of any sandbox game i have played to date, but not being able to play it more often is frustrating and very disappointing


You can save yourself a ton of headaches by just opening up the game to be played more.. People want to play a game not treat it like another life situation.  Seriously have you had a bunch of players contact you and say " There's too much oil you need to limit the oil"...          So why did you do this to your game.. Any chance of an honest dialog on that info

Not to mention the 5:00 minute time limit

For me to be very strategic around the base to limit my losses I need more than the 5 minutes

All that timer does is force me to make decisions that cost me troops / oil. This is a strategy game.. I understand the need for a time limit, but I am not being sloth like.  It just takes that much time to move troops around the map so you can snipe as many defenses as you can to avoid heavy losses

The other way to beat the clock is to spam troops and head right in, but every person whom I see use that strategy takes heavy losses. That completely defeats the purpose of your lack of oil production......   at least IMO it does

you guys are losing me.. I'm researching and downloading other games trying to find this replacement.. Wouldn't be doing this if i had more oil to play with

Even with the recent nerf and then the cancellation of the recent oil nerf this game requires more oil to be fun enough for more players to stick around



AI has issues and can not be relied on. Real time touch commands do not always respond . These 2 FACTS cost players oil and this is enough of a reason to raise oil production

If you do not raise oil p[production and let players play the game more you will never achieve what you want.. A satisfied gaming community willing to spend money on your game


Players who feel they are getting a fair shake will step up with some purchases. Players who feel ripped off won't be telling their friends they have to play this game, and by the looks of the reviews on google play outside the fake reviews you can tell the core of your game is dissatisfied and leaving


As of now my game is done for hours.. I made a bad attack using a new set of troops I don't have much experience with so my reward is to not get to play for hours....  that is complete BS

I am in complete agreement about the oil production. I'm a level 43 with all oil maximized and I can only have one full play session per day. I used to be able to go to bed at night and have a full oil load in the morning; now I have to wait about 18 hours before I have both full storage and full pumps.

I do not agree about the 5 minutes. If I could have more control of how my defense forces behave, I'd agree, because then I could press attackers who loiter as commanders can in real life. But the 5 minute limit forces my attackers to be prepared through Scout and then commit, so then they can't change their minds once they actually engage my defense setup.

I stopped at level 12. Saw how this was going to play out, and was right lol

Got greedy for the $ too soon guys

5 MINUTES doesn't change how you engage a base. For me all it did was force me to have to make moves I didn;'t want to make because I was running out of time and that lost me oil.

I always have a plan but when the AI didn't respond to my commands properly i lost time and the defender gained time.

If oil wasn't so scarce I could of brushed it off and attacked another base but this is not the case

5 minutes is enough if you are ok with heavy oil costing losses, but this game was and from what i am reading is still very greedy with oil. Therefore I need more time so I can conserve my precious oil and squeeze in a few more battles which in return makes me a happy player who would of stuck around and spent money
