era after era i see the same person banned for cheating of some sort twice three times an era and yet they continue to play on because either the guilty party is friendly with an admin or is a big booster, and that's a fact.
A blind eye is turned or a soft ban imposed. That's Battledawns way of dealing with cheats. lots of tokens will still be bought but i feel more would be eager to spend if the gaming environment was much better than it is.
sorry for dampening the mood of a sure to be exciting era but folds of people from all over feel the same way I do and will not support Battledawn by buying token as the support from Battledawn is selective.
With that said I hope people enjoy the era. Feel free to contact me if you feel the same.
WE NEED TO BOYCOTT BATTLEDAWN THEN WE WILL BE HEARD As much as I enjoy BD and the whole idea of this championship server, I must sadly agree. The idea of being a champion in this game to me should be all about making smart choices, managing diplomacy well, and being active.... I am sure it cannot happen but my view of a championship round would involve no boosting at all. Everyone has the same chance and opportunity at greatness, only limited by their own schedules and abilities..... not their economic position in the real world. I understand BD needs to make money, and I sure dont want the admins being homeless.... but there are more ways. Why not have an entrance fee...everyone who wants a chance at the championship should put some skin the game before they even make there colony.... then everyone is on fair terms and True champions would emerge.... I would gladly pay $10 entrance for a chance to play against Battledawns best on an even playing field.....But when i see other people talking about buying there thousands upon thousands of reds.... and i lost all interest i had in playing this server.... sorry guys, in its current form I doubt you will see me there as anything but a watcher and maybe lay a stinker on someones front porch Long Live WFA and HORD

They have capped the boosting as much as they can, yes of course boosting gives you an advantage but compared to the Old Client where you could ENDLESSLY boost if you had the money this is NOTHING. Boosting does NOT guarantee a win. It helps yes but strategy will always win the fight. There is no denying the fact that some of the Alliances who will be playing this Championship Era will be boosting and have a LOT of good players who will have strategy poaring out of them. You just have to find a way to beat that. Good players or not..... it's NOT impossible to beat when you have the right team. Day of Darkness

my 2 pennies (personally view) :
With the competition I hope to see around, with many vet players and also skilled underdogs, I really think, that boosting won't have a big effect. On a regular server and worst case 2 boosting alliance allied to each other, I agree that its difficult to take on them as non boosting alliance. But in an era like that? No way! When 2 or 3 boosting alliances fight each other, there is so much room for other full alliances to grow and gain territory. With skill and diplomacy, everything is possible.
Worst thing that YOU can do is making long naps or even full-era naps. If so, you basically lost and can't use any chances when table turns. Not joining because of all those 'bad boosters' is ... well ... not saying
As I said, this was my personally view as player
greetings to Milan, who send me this yesterday
Dang, I wish I could play I love challenges like that

Do it anyways! I think it would be fantastic if all the admins made their own alliance in the world

Malice, Ilona will be the admin.. She can't play the same round she admins And in any case she wouldn't dare too, the competition is way too fierce for her. It's a man's world out there. But in all seriousness, I don't think admin alliances are going to work. I as always applaud admins that play, but I don't think Ilona or Seth playing would be approved by ANYONE Would be nice if Tom brought back SKY though.

I know it's not going to happen, it was more so a sarcastic comment mixed with a "what if" statement.
I already know admin's will be looked upon with biased eyes.
But in all seriousness, I think it would be fun for the admin's to make a custom world and duke it out against the players. Even more so if they DID take advantage of their admin status in that world ^^
Imagine, entire world against super powered admin's. I'd play it.
^ that is a serious thought.

The sheer fact that people are calling Battle Dawn a game of money today completely repulses me. I spent half my BD career in middle school/high school, not that great of activity, and without much money. I rarely ever donated to BD, and when I did it was maybe $20. I still accomplished great things, so many things that I was nominated for HoF twice to be alongside Somi and other strategic minds. BD is a game of skill, and even more so now. You're confusing yourself of the circumstances.
Old BD had higher populated servers, meaning that territory was much harder to control, which is what I'm hoping for this 'Champion' era should I decide to join.
New BD has lower populated servers, meaning that an entirely different approach is mandatory. It's about blitzing the continents and controlling enough land, then forcing your opponents into NAPs so you may outgrow them.
While New BD's tactics give the upperhand to boosters, in no way does it guarantee a victory. If you can outsmart your opponent and kill off enough troops the tables flip. Also, if you can find a way to force the boosters into an agreement in order to slow their expansion, you also throw your chips back into the stack.
The point is, that in both cases skill will trump money. In the end, no matter how you slice it, you have to be able to walk the walk.
