First off If you get attacked on 1 out of your 5 armies do all 5 have the 45 min protection and if YOU search for a pvp battle do you have a 45 min protection from being attacked after that?
That said onto the main topic.
I have played this game since beta and almost non stop since release... I have a 100% done human city 60% elf city and like 20% orc city. I love your game and I love the pvp even if it is atm unbalanced race wise, it brings me back into the feeling of the "Golden Age Of Gaming".
I have given so much advice in that blasted chat box instructing people how to play every race I AM DAWN OF FANTASIES GOD DAMN TUTORIAL!!!
I have already done everything there is to (currently) do. Beaten every races npc towns and players from every race, explored the dwarf lands and the dragon one ( SO AWESOME!!!)
With all of that said and done I have come to a conclusion about pvp and it is simply that it is need of a slight tweak in the way it works. I have been in fights that lasted longer than 45 minutes and we have not even gotten to siege battles yet.
I think the timer for armies invulnerability should be an hour after attack and maybe even two for cities once they come out...
Or a different method all together... After a LONG stressful day of work some people want to come home and relax sometimes and if you log into this to play and build your city then suddenly get attacked and get wtfpwned by someone it is REALLY going to drive people away as I have already witnessed this in the general chat box many times especially because whatever determines how many squads are actually killed off completely seems completely random as when my army was once wiped out of 60 squads i lost like 5 completely while when i smashed some poor new guys army of 30/60 squads he was down to 10 after the match. So I suggest that if you spend a decent amount of gold you can be immune for 2 hours but then vulnerable to attack for 4 and can't buy another "invulnerable" for at least those 4 hours.
I can tell you right now I have pvped my ass off in this game and I love it SO MUCH. I have seen however SO much rage about some poor noob getting his army wiped by someone whos got a max city splitting their army up hunting poor noobies for wealth. Hell I have even done that.
Bottom Line
I want to see your company/game succeed and you really need to increase the timer and/or do something along the line of what I just suggested in my
opinion if you want to appeal to more people.
Edit: Gold too easy to get.. make the invulnerability cost crowns... now that would be perfect... especially for a new slow player who LIKES to take it slow.
Also I recall a match were my only loss wiped out my entire army on the game rts map but when i got back to world view it only took away like 5 units from a full stack of 60... then i fought some poor orc noobie with my legion of doom of 60/60 and he lost 20/30 of his squads completely on the world map....... i felt so bad i wanted to trade him resources some how.... the randomization from that mechanic need to be a fixed number of like 5 or 10 or 15 or something.... (imo)
