Abyssal Ambush questions

Passing on feedback from within the alliance: the banner is quite large, so they wonder if there will be an option in the future to dismiss it is you don't want to use it.

absolutely thank you!

the banner is really too invasive and annoying !!!

if you are not interested in the event there must be a way to close it !!!!

Draxo .... HELP !!!

I don't quite understand the update yet.

We are sending troops to the event. Limited by 1000. What is this limit, and how do we pick effectively? What metric bases whether our pick us effective?

I've sent ships, but as soon as they arrived, they sailed back. No damage in event score, no units lost.

No battle report, no help section, no feedback to even know if we are doing it right or not.

Now the dealt damage has gone down to zero, and the maximum hp has gone to unknown (0 /?). Ok, seems to be an indication that the monster has been defeated, so we're waiting for a new one.

The description of the hydra mentions the monster can sometimes go on land, but doesn't mention strong/weak points (like mentioned in the changelog). No mention when it is a good time to send land troops versus sea troops.

I also find the banner very invasive..if we don't want to participate please give us the option of minimizing or closing it.

Thanks.

We need the HELP info in the game ....

So the whole thing is an Ambrosia sink as the way to get to the top few positions is from spending on Triton Engines so that you can send attack waves quicker.

Some units do more damage than others, so we still need to experiment and find out the most optimal formation to send. I am on a young server now, so don't have all troops, upgrades and forge yet, but from what I see, catapults do very well, then steam giants, then carabeneers. Swords and hoplites are meh. Don't have balloons and mortars and no fleet yet, so haven't tested ships.

It is random on every server and changes every wave.

Best thing to do is to send 1st wave of multiple units and then change composition based of that.

Yeah, at least it is a good thing that you can get as far with 30k generals as you can get with 800k generals. But it is really an ambrosia sink, the player who puts in the most ambro will win this.

Seems like the damage percentages are different per milestone. So depends on the round which unit works best. And the damage percentages also differ per server, which means they are made up random with the start of each new milestone.

There is a report in the reports tab, but it is below the regular ones, so it is easy to miss. Just scroll down in the reports tab

get some tests with certain units, I'm trying to alternate between them to see if the damage changes. In my opinion, troops are more advantageous than boats due to time and you accelerate with ambrosia, but I haven't tested all the boats, just the trireme, which gave me a higher percentage, I'll send some

How do we find out how much damage our units have done?

in the reports it appears below

I did 766 damage with the left setup and 727 with the one on the right. They were in 1st and then 2nd rounds

Monster Bush Info bar thumbs down

sent a wave, disappeared, don't see them on movements, no report. lol
