Thread that really really missed the point IMO.
Amulets are irrelevant to active players using their 10 raids a day.
Don't see what the hell the point is to make it easier for people to build troops without being active, while delivering nothing for the active player at all?
I am sure you will get lots of positive comments from people that "want stuff more easily" but that doesn't make it a good thing.
I'm an active player, but not using all my raids m'lord.
I just really like the Vampiric units. It's one feature of the game and it'd be a shame to leave it on the background because obtaining them is difficult. I mean, in that case they can basically scrap the idea of Maranian Amulets completely because it barely has use.
As mentioned in the suggestion post I've sent, the only thing you can use those amulets on are Units. Compare the strongest offensive Vampiric creature with the Dragon which is the strongest regular creature.
Renegade (Base offense: 1140) VS Dragon (Base offense: 1680)
The only way to obtain a Renegade is with those amulets or sapphires in the Black Market, whilst obtaining Dragons can be done by completing achievements, finishing battlegrounds, purchasing them in the Black Market and training them with resources.
Let's take another example with the Necromancer, being of the same kind as Renegade, but this time it's about the quantity.
Renegade (Total resource cost: 2537) VS Necromancer (Total resource cost: 10610)
Now you might think 'Seems fair!'
But if you re-consider that, you might see that in order to make 1 Renegade you need 2537 Amulets which takes quite some more time, as it's not automatic, in comparison to the Necromancer.
I'm rather slow, so I can possibly click the 500 for 1 hour about 5 times a day. 500 * 5 = 2500 Maranian Amulets per 24 hours.
Whilst I make circa 3463 Gold, 3483 Iron and usually rounded 10000 Food p/h. A total amount of circa 16946 per hour.
I think it's unfair, hence I wanted to suggest it and hope for a solution.
Though I get your point, thank you for your feedback!
