Another way to limit the use of Sabotage Buildings is to require a spy actually be in the province/city from the previous day to perform the instant action. That way a player can't cover up failed tactics so easily.

Does this change also effect existing game rounds?

I know it was annoying because people were spamming the tool on airfields, but this forced me to think about how I place airfields. Where I once played 1 airfield I now place 2-3 in that general location.

In essence, I am bankrupting the enemy if they want to target all those airfields (which are cheap). Kind of fun to do.

So, I've been playing COW for years and I've seen many changes. But I can't say that any of the changes have ever made the game better. I remember when different types of artillery had different ranges. Now we have the war bonds! These things weren't even used for a week, and they started changing them. I get the impression, Bytro is constantly bowing to the crying by inexperienced players. You need to quit rewarding players who don't know the first thing about COW. Why are you punishing experienced players who learn the in's and out's of the game? Let's face it, COW is a very in-depth game and you need to spend time learning how the game works to become a better player. Just last month I started a scenario and the player bordering me immediately started attacking me with this massive army that no one could ever even begin to produce in days, but he has it in hours. Since he was obviously using cards or gold, I started doing the same. 50,000 gold later and that doesn't even include the untold cards I used, I wiped this guy out. And he had a fit because he just spent 21 days watching some stupid video that gives him cards, and he felt that after 21 days he was entitled to a win. Then he dumped the entire 21 days' worth of cards into an army 5 minutes into the scenario. Where are these videos? The only way I get cards is by spending time in game and taking over provinces. So, me being the more experienced player, and having a large cash of gold on hand that i've earned the old fashioned way, I'm forced to spend my gold defending against some shmuck who only knows how to scam cards for free. This is complete BS! For starters, this guy should never even be allowed to enter a map i'm playing on. All these kinds of players do is ruin the game for those who know how to play. You need to find a way to keep inexperienced player on maps with other inexperienced players. I can't remember the last time I actually watched 2 players fight it out with near equal armies. This game has turned into a crap show where 2 stripe corporals pound their chest after they take over an experienced players territory while he is out of game. When war bonds first came out, I was starting to learn how to use them. And before I even get a good grasp on their workings, they get changed. Why? Because the noobs started crying! by catering to the inexperienced players who refuse to read up on the internal workings of the game, you are ruining it for those who have invested their time and have learned ow the game works. Quit ruining a perfectly good game simply because the feeble and unworthy have to resort to crying since they know nothing about how COW works. I'm sorry, but if you can't hang in a scenario, get better or find a new game to play! It's not my fault you suck

@Northernking11 you can watch like 8 ad videos on mobile devices pr day ( and extra gift cards/ 6 hour premium time in buying shop for free if you click that present box ) That feature has been up for some time now ( and they have changed the values over time )

Also - if you make an account, new players get quest cards/units/gold by finishing the game guide. ( there was a time when pc and mobile had different versions with different quests, but I think they fixed it )

no, you have to start a new game to see the affects
