A change in the value of tech may have been necessary, but the overall intensity of the change was too much. This change has killed any momentum a smaller nation had at being able to grow. Probably two reasons this decision was made: To stop the tech raiders, and to raise the demand of donations. Maybe cut the value of tech in half, 3/4 of the value dropped is horrid. These post are not necessarily "Whining" posts. These are post with legitimate arguments on an overal negative feeling on the change. So the kids using the, ahhh all the whiners copout didn't read the title of this blog or understand it. Still the biggest problem with the change, that will be evident the more days that go by, is the nation strength rule when it comes to getting battles. I can now get attacked by nations who have over 9,500 infra when I only have 3,400. Sounds like a fair fight to me. Nobody is complaining at the moment about this observation, but wait till your getting crushed on by someone 5 times your size, then get back to me.
