Update Notes for Oil Boom v1.5.67 (Android & iOS)

[stwolf]

please fix the dumb AI..... i have 3 GP characters.... spent more than 5 times max crowns .... intro'ed so many ppl into this game.... your yesterday update ruins everything...... my troops are idiots that can bypass wall gates. and circle buldings to die... heroes can spawn more than 1.... please at least return p[revious AI which are less DUMB.....

 

[This game is laggy]

According to the patch notes, they've increased the XP you get from some buildings. So everyone's level will increase. Odd decision, but it's intentional and not a bug.

Noticed the same thing myself. Been wondering if it has always been cataphracts all along too.

My troops spend most of their times to break the walls rather than dev bldgs after updating to this patch. Are they out of their mind? Or the developer is? Lol
This game was not so fun since then.

Can't update my TC to Industrial Age. Is Industrial Age released now or not?

 

[Binary]

Our alliance the dominion elite thanks you.

 

[pakaya]

Add some cool updates for the Greeks...and please add an option where we can invite other players to join our alliance without any hassle

Still no update for me. Still running 1.3.62, and google play also says 1.3.62

I'm noticing a lot more abandoned bases these days

 

[Jwinn]

I"m still on that version as well, and all those abandoned bases are ripe for the looting!

 

[Sir Herou]

All updates and small buggs are so funny in comparasence to all the freakin cheaters after some idiot posted how you can cheat and get free crowns ^^ I can live with a bug that "is same for everyone"... But when some ppl think they stands over the rules and cheats with absolutely no scrouples what so ever.... Hmmm...

 

[RogerGavín]

I do not like the changes!!!

 

[gunsgermssteel]

Raiding has become next to impossible. No matter the unit types or strategies, blessings and tactics applied, all units are eliminated. In addition, the units take inefficient routes. Posting on the bugs forum to see if something gets done.

 

[protogeoff]

It's so frustrating. Units walk by nearest buildings to attack something farther away. They get slaughtered walking around instead of attacking what is nearest. They cluster way too much so that only the first few units in the group do anything. The rest just run around following. By the time they get to the next building it's too late to do anything so they just uselessly follow the group not actually attacking anything.

 

[Funken_A]

so my android s pad at home is now running the new version, my phone runs the old version.

Its definitely a lot easier using my phone to raid

EDIT: Got the update on my phone this morning. And yes everything that has been posted is true.. Roll back the AI and troops hp and dmg to previous version please

 

[Ixtrimer]

I agree, the only way to get recourses is to attack those hackers who have tons of resources so they put their markets, mills outside walls. I really like this game and would even like to support developers with some money, but only if they did their job correctly, I think they have really good designers, I like the graphics in the game, historical features are also nice, but these programmers are so bad. Well, there are many other people who keep sending them tons of dollars and do not care about hackers, bugs and many other things, so developers will be happy, slowly reapairing bugs and making more of them. But I think it is bad way and if it doesn't change soon I will quit playing the game for a while.

Pre-update my (formerly) lvl 3 stables spawned knights. I'm assuming the apparent change was so level 4 isn't another filler/useless level to pass to get lancers spawning.

 

[pleaides]

I've been a big fan of the game since I started playing a couple months ago, and have seen many changes, most for the good.

This AI change, though, is definitely something that needs to be fixed as soon as possible and should have been tested much more, or rolled out in a much more granular fashion. All my troops are acting strange, and I concur with everyone else that the AI in the previous version was vastly superior. It pains me to say I might have to stop playing if this isn't addressed, as I have much better things to do with my time than wait for troop regen.

[Funken_A]

Yep the AI and the over zealous nerfs of troops have made the game completely unenjoyable

I was having a blast with the game even with all the bugs but now we have an unplayable game.

I keep hoping to see a post saying they are going to fix it, btu its become obvious they are trying to find way to get peoel to spend more money

Unfortunatley they are goig about it all wrong, I'm not spending another dime on this game unless the game AI and nerfs are fixed

I was trying to avoid this update, but yesterday it became mandatory. Well, here are my thoughts:

- The game became even more unstable. BEFORE the update, I could play 2 battles before my game crash. NOW, AFTER the update, I can't play a ****ING battle that my game will crash!

- And when a miracle happens and I can play a battle, I lose 90% of my troops against Medieval opponents (I'm in Enlightenment). I mean, before that I would smash that opponent easily, and now I lose 90% of the troops.

- I didn't notice any difference in the AI, because I can't play the game normally.

 

[David Pasquinel]

Yesterday the update became mandatory on my region... My troops are sometimes making a lot of stupid choices and dying in vain. I too hope that the devs roll a AI update to adress this issue. I'm not even agains the nerf of melee range, just fix the overall troop scripts!

Some things on this patch are pointless, like making the discount price on clearing forests a refund and removing those progress bars that shown our overall tech progress. Some step ahead, some critical steps back and a lot of tap dancing on useless grounds.

As yet, i did not spent a rusty shilling on this game. I advocate it saying that it's a very cool game that will suck you in, at the same time I strongly discourage anyone giving money to it because of the boom of cheaters, exploits and bad implemented changes. Until this game is cleaned of cheats and have updates that only enhance the experience (instead of breaking it while adding new content), I say that your ten-or-so bucks are better spent on stable and more polished apps.
