Mass recruiting will easily allow you to recruit huge armies with only a few buttons. We hope you enjoy this feature and that it will allow you to make your gameplay even more efficient! As mentioned version 1.57 will only lay some foundations for this feature. The feature itself will be activated with the next version. We currently plan to roll out the next version on the 9th of June. Please be aware that this date is subject to change.

Spoiler: Version 1.56

Update

Version 1.56

Greetings, Tribal Warriors!

On Thursday, May 26th all Beta realms have been updated with version 1.56. This version will tackle the Coop issues raised by the community. New restrictions to the Coop feature will prevent players from single-handedly playing multiple accounts as this was never the intention of the feature. Coop is very important to us as this is our take to allow you to play together with your friends. However, Coop should also not be a feature which allows players to legally bypass our game rules. Read on for more information about this change.

Improvements

• Due to popular demand we have restricted the maximum amount of accounts a player has access to. Players will now only be able to play their own account and up to 9 additional Coop accounts. If a player has reached this limit, he can also not be invited as Coop partner until he or she drops under the limit again. This change is not retroactive, so players who have already breached this new limit can still access more than 10 accounts in total, however will not be able to accept new Coop invites before being unter the new limit.
  
• Furthermore, we have tackled an ongoing issue that players could potentially grow more than simply their own account. This has been frowned upon in very large areas of our community. Your voices have been heard and we will restrict the possibility to mint coins to the account owner only. This means that Coop partners can no longer mint coins. But they can still recruit Noblemen and conquer villages up to the Noble limit generated by the account owner.

Bug Fixes

• When the Wall is demolished while being upgraded, the building level is updated accordingly in the building queue.
  
• An active Prosperity boost will no longer trigger the display of individual resource bossts in your Global and Information.
  
• Several Spy commands can no longer be sent by clicking the 'Send' button in quick succession.
  
• Instantly recruiting your Paladin will now correctly remove the recruitment order from your Timeline.
  
• Supporting units will no longer switch their weapons when the effect is triggered by corresponding Countermeasure. Only units which belong to given village will switch their weapons as intended.
  
• The icon for Spies is now correctly displayed in your overviews.
  
• Clicking the reward link in your report of an invited player who has reached 200 points will now take you to your Inventory instead of the Shop.
  
• Typos and text errors have been fixed in various aspects of the game.

Spoiler: Version 1.55

Update

Version 1.55

Greetings, Tribal Warriors!

• Player names are displayed in the overviews again.
  
• Mass donation and mass minting now always works properly for acounts with over 500 villages.
  
• When attacking a barbarian village with a Deceiver, the travel times are now displayed correctly.
  
• If a defender has no units in the village that has been attacked, the battle report will no longer state that no information about defending units could be gathered because none survived. The report will show that the defender had no troops instead.
  
• When finishing a building instantly in your building queue, other building orders in your queue will no longer show incorrect times.
  
• Modifiers in battle reports now always show the correct value.
  
• The hotkey list no longer shows duplicate entries.
  
• 'Domination' and 'Intense Training' are now both properly calculated in the unit info screen.

Version 1.52

Was this problem solved by this update (and not listed in 1.51 info)?
It's screen from pl server, but you should easily understand what the problem is... Commands overview:

 

[DeletedUser117]

And you should add coords next to the name of the village, because sorting is not working when you have same names for many villages.

 

[DeletedUser40]

Your feedback will be forwarded to the team.

 

[DeletedUser40]

Please provide us with your feedback for the latest version, 1.52.

 

[DeletedUser177]

I always named my village name '001.01' , '010.08' ,...
Now this isn't possible anymore? And why is that?
Can someone tell me what caracters i may use or do i have to search them?

Player, Village, Province and Tribe Names have been restricted. Special characters that are confusing or breaking the layout are no longer allowed.

I can't use numbers too? Is a number confusing?

 

[DeletedUser40]

This will be reverted and fixed.

[DeletedUser7524]

I like, that there are new rules for coop playing.
But I'm not sure if it affects the "legal" use of this feature too much. When the account owner is in holidays for a few weeks, the account falls extremly behind, because the coop cannot mint coins. I don't know if I like this, even though it cleary stops misuse.
Maybe a timeout would be nicer, so when the owner logged in, the coop can mint coins for 3 days. After that coin minting is blocked until the next login.

Also I thought about what I miss here. What about pushing the tribe with the ressources, that the coop cannot spend in coins anymore? There is no other use left, so these accounts will start pushing the tribe.
And another thing I miss: After 6 weeks without a real account login, the coops should be removed from the account, so the account can get grey. Or 8 weeks? But I think this is really important!

At least I'm happy that something changes in these rules. Hope someone thinks about these ideas.

 

[kropovs]

Version 1.56

I understand that this will prevent growing dead accounts, but it does hurt the co-op for people. I was just looking after an acc where the owner was on away for a week. bit troublesome not to be able to mint coins... but i guess i prefer this than all the mess with co-ops.

And someone posted before me. same thing..
Completely agree to @Kaemmelot . might be some problems with res pushing, but since people will prolly just try noble them out now, it might not be that big of an issue.
But in my opinion 6-8 weeks is a bit too much, but that's just my opinion

 

[DeletedUser40]

Thanks for your feedback.
I'll make sure to pass it along to our game designers.

 

[kobbetje]

Very good, but still a problem with the players who play as co-op on more then 1 account. Co-op should be limitted to 5 for every one

 

[DeletedUser7524]

Thanks Liam

Co-op should be limitted to 5 for every one

I think everyone has a different opinion on this. But I think many of the accounts that have many coops are the most active players. This doesn't automatic imply, that they misuse this feature.
I think there might be a reason for the current number and it is a good start. I'm looking forward for what happens, when these rules are applied on the normal game servers. At least this part about the maximum of coops will be proven or disproven to be right when it is really used.
I wait until then, I cannot really comment this now.

At the moment the other rules (including the second rule in the announcement) are more important than changing the maximum of coops. Do you agree?

BTW: why did you quote the other posts?

 

[kropovs]

I find it that the people that sometimes are stuck with the most co-ops are the leaders of the tribe, not necessarily because they want them but because players "trust" them.
Generally I dont really think the number of co-ops is what makes the abusing, people can abuse them with having 2-3 co-ops, any more is getting too much maintenance to be effective.

 

[kropovs]

Also, early game when warehouses are small, being able to mint coins as co-op is a nice thing. Sadly I cant come up with a solution to stop that without hurting the player without coding a lot of conditions.

 

[DeletedUser40]

Version 1.57 have hit the beta realms.
Please provide us with your feedback here.

 

[kropovs]

1.57
Sweet... People will be so happy to see this.
From the first look it looks nice, no way for me to check all units at the moment (zerks and trebs) as I dont have the HoH built. There is one thing (though i dont know how doable is that for coding) that i might like better would be >>>
As far as I understand now if I have set it for 1000 LC and 1000 MA it will use all the resources for LC and them MA. Maybe it would be good if it tried to look at resources. If I dont have enough res to build all 1000 LC it will use up all iron and wont build any MA which leaves me with lots of wood. Would it be possible to look at the resource usage/balancing somehow? Or maybe just try to go for smaller batches at a time like if i have 1000 LC and 1000 MA set up it would build 100 LC then 100 MA > 100 LC >100 MA > etc till it runs out of something.

One more thing. though not that important and might be just my personal preference. Maybe the units filter (def units and off units) maybe it should go along with the set groups. just like the unit amounts get saved for each group. Though I think most people will leave both on at all times.

 

[DeletedUser7524]

okay, let's write some feedback then
I didn't had that much time to test (and too few villages to test multiple sites ) but I already got a lot of things.

First of all I like this feature, it is really helpful and it would be even greater if I could switch an option to recruit the units more evenly (is this the right word?) as @kropovs said. I cannot see the ressources there, so this would help me to recruit units better depending on the ressources. But this could be a problem for development... depends on the idea, how this should be done.

I got one big thing I would like to see different:
It seems there is space left and the unit info buttons could be even smaller. I would therefore like to see some things added from the villages->units screen and I would also remove this previous screen, because it's useless afterwards. The spies and countermeasures could easily be integrated in the new screen and you could recruit spies there. Also the units within the hospital could be shown there too. And if there is space left after these changes: The recruitment queue would also be nice to see. But the queue is the last important thing, the other two are more important.
And as I said, remove the villages->units screen afterwards, its last use are the spies and countermeasures. The queu is shown in villages->combined and the units can be seen in this new screen.

Then smaller points I would change:

• When I open the unit info from within this recruitement screen and close it afterwards, why don't I get back to the recruitment screen? That's anoying.
• When I type in units and remove them by removing this unit class they still get recruited. I like it that they are not deleted when I hide them this way, but they clearly shouldn't be recruited when I cannot see them. Can you tell me what I recruit when I click recruit here? No you can't

• Addition to my idea above about space: Why does it show the filter "own"? What else should be there? "In village"? I would remove this coulmn and add it to the description of the on/off button (Edit: It is already there, so why the column?). This would cause more space for my ideas above.
• The new unit statues (when mass recruit is disabled) are so great and helpful. But their sorting is a bit crappy. Look at this:

The first sorting is completly confusing and not intuitive. I also don't like the second (the sorting is the same, but it shows different things). I would think it sorts by what I see and if I see more than just one value, it should sort by the top value I can see in each row (so by the green values in the last example). Also imagine green and blue values in this case. You cannot always sort by the black values.​

• Then I saw this mistake:

I guess also being supported, being attacked and so on has a broken tooltip, but I didn't try yet.​

• A really small thing, but I couldn't stop thinking about the idea: When you got only one filter (own or in village) you can remove it and "available" is activated automatically. You shouldn't be able to remove the last filter. And this behavior is strange... Doesn't feel right.
• A last point: When pressing Q or W and my screen is already open, why doesn't it deactivate these features and shows me the screen with inactive mass feature? I understand why it should switch to on when the screen is closed, but when it's already open?

I really hope there will be a few of these changes before the feature goes "online" for other markets.

 

[DeletedUser7524]

Addition:
These all look like dummies...


EDIT: And another idea. I would like to see if the 3 numbers are different (so if there are units missing or extra in a village). I would suggest to make the blue and green numbers grey if they are the same as the black number. So green and blue would highlight only important rows and it's a lot easier to read.
