This happened on the old Stable server to me but long fail casting of a spell has been around for a long time. Most say its just bad luck. On old stable server was not a big issue but on these new server, with the costs of some spells being as high as they are failing to cast spells to many times can dry out your resources.

Bowser that looks to me like Dragons of Atlantis on Facebook. I'm also playing that, i'm on Seine server

Very sad to see the game not doing well. I agree with Ish, the ideas were not the problem. The only thing the game lacks is developers time to implement them. I'm part of a pretty big international gaming guild, granted its mostly for MMO games but some do play these web-based games too and i tried to get some of them to try Dolumar and all of them said that its way to simple. Very little stuff to actually do. The game needs a sense of achievement for both the player and also achievement for a guild. I played Stable1 for 2 years but i didnt have anything noticeable at the end that i didnt have in the first half of the first year(well outposts were not introduced back then yet)
We could put out a lot of ideas but the only real question here is if the devs have the time to implement them?
Some of the ideas that i had:
http://en.forum.dolumar.eu/topic/75/war … alliances/
http://en.forum.dolumar.eu/topic/73/an- … ing-speed/
There were others to but cant find them, probably on the old forum, i dono. But these would still only be improvements of the game. We still need actual content. There are countless other web-based RTS games that have like 10 diferent types of units, troops could get experience, level up. You could have NPC villages where players could go on a raiding party(single or guild type thing) gain rare equipements(like for example gain a legendary sword with witch you equip all your swordsman not just 1; maybe the treasure could be a blueprint to make that powerful sword or something).
Again, the problem is not the lack of ideas but the lack of time from the devs part to implement them. Daed you have to make a choice do you want the game to be something more or not. Look at Minecraft(dont think there's anyone who dosent know it, but if not just google it), just one guy made it and look at what he achieved. He allready sold a couple of millions of the game while beeing on beta!!!. IMHO anyway.

At least i'm not the only one, but now we're stuck and no way to get out of it. I guess this IS the end of that.

Thats what we all know allready Dem. Its the luck factor. I could live with a luck factor that can influence a battle to something like max10% win or loose but not this much like it is now. Like i said, just test battles in test server(i know troop stats are diferent there BUT the battle system works the same way). Test same battles multiple times and you will get results ranging from repelled to even 50%+ victory. That waaaaay to much of a luck factor in my book.

Well I didnt mean it like that Hidalgo. I agree that these kind of browser games need to be reset after a while, its normal. But we have the new Stable2 server so its allready kinda like Stable1 is finished, its just not closed yet. I asked for the Stable1 server not to be closed down since the very old Dolumar Legacy is still up, i think we should not loose completely the ruleset of Stable1, some people prefer the gameplay from Stable1 over the gameplay of Stable2, me included. So Daed agreed to keep the Stable1 alive but with a reset. All i'm saying here is that in my opinion, we wont have enough players around after a reset, but if the server is not reset just let to go on as is, more players would keep playing. But we do need to eliminate vacation mode, well not complitly but make it automaticly end after a set period of time, like 1 month, the vacationing player can be attacked.

My record is 22 faild casts on my own OP. True, this is on Stable1 but it does happen :

Well this is weird. I tried now and dietmar is right. The resorses did not dissapear. But that 1 time i did loose 800K wood and about 200K stone. Its not important, really. I know i noticed it then cause i needed those resorses to upgrade castle so i was trying to ladder them. And those resorses were actually gone. But like i said, it dosent matter now.

Well something did hapen to me. I lost all the resorses i was trying to send. Yes it was my mistake. That why i'm not complaining about it. I was just saying that a message that resembled to what Demonic posted apeared when i sent resorses to the same village. Cant be to sure though, i wasent paying much attention, i only noticed the message apearing in red square and i closed the market window, thinking that something went wrong and wanted to try again. But then i noticed the resourses gone and slowly figured out what happened

Its an old bug. It hapends in the posts that have any BBCode in it and you want to edit that post.

Conan show me just 1 browser game where 1 clan can not get "untouchable". Its the nature of PvP games. Eventually somebody will get too powerfull. Limiting the nr of players can hold has no influence in this. Player will just create 2 clans instead of one if 1 clan can not hold all their friends. Even if no alliances are made, every clan would have the same limitations, so eventually 1 clan will rise above others. Whats the point in playing a competitiv game if you can not win??? Winning means owning a server. But if you really want to talk seriosly, if enough players join together theres absolutly no way rank1 clan can hold off an onslought. You really think 20 players can really hold off 2000 or more??? Seriosly?

So now where back at square one? Well not really since the advantage shifted to humans and not elfs, i guess it s a change. But we need balance, not making amends for the humans for the abuse the've been suffering . I'm pretty sure i saw somewhere a battle simulator, wouldent it be easier to test changes like these with a battle simulator then test server, especially since there are to few players there and the ones that do play there allready built their villages around the advantages of speed server. For example very few players are humans, and even fewer that built enough archers to really test them. A battle simulator would work better i think. Have no idea where i saw that battle simulator but i'm pretty sure i did somewhere.
