Instant game over dog Greed

[scorp_poison]

Devs:I can not give a positive review of this game till you remove the unbalanced and frankly insulting Crown stealing greed dog, it makes expansion impossible, goes through walls and even just hit me in the end of the day before the portals were active.

That is not a unit that requires strategy to beat, it's a unit that shouldn't exist.
Until that game breaking unit is removed I am done with this game.

Came across those Leapers yesterday for the first time and I died to it while being outside my walls. But I'm sure it makes a noise so you know it's on its way so you have plenty of time to get behind walls and stay close to those archers.

It's a great enemy, keeps you on your toes.

There no noise, only my builder building before it blitzed me, it would be a good enemy if it wasn't faster then you, if it didn't one hit end your game, or if it died in one hit from anything.
I have only ever lost the game to those, and I'm frankley tired of sinking time into a game with a cheap bullcrap instant game over enemy.

I was almost done cleaning off island 4 this time, last time it hit me before I left 2.
I'm done.

Hope someone can confirm that, my game was glitched pretty bad yesterday but whenever Leapers came, they were very loud so I always heard them long before they arrived, it was a new sound I'd never heard before so I just assumed it was the Leapers barking.

How do you defend against this thing? I was well within my walls. Are they killable? Was there something I should have built to prevent insta-death? I don't mind dying to new difficult things, but this seems like it just appears within your defenses and takes you out. That's not fun. What's the point of building my defenses if my game just ends when this leaper appears?

[Velorien]

I just had the same experience. I was behind about a dozen archers and a wall, and it was like "Oh no it's that thing run -wait my crown- game over."

You can counter normal greed with walls. You can counter floaters with towers. You can counter breeders with fallback positions. But there's no strategy to leapers. Just run and pray.

I wish I knew what the counter was, i was attacking a portal once and half way through a normal portals death it popped out, stole my crown, then ran back into that same portal to game over me.
Now my army goes by itsself XD

I do not have many problems with the jumpers, some arrows make them die in midair, the problem begins when they come mounted on top of the breeders ...

The problem is that an instant game over enemy exists in a game about defensive strategy.

[!?!]

I guess the "strategy" is to spam towers everywhere and hope the unreliable AI hits something that moves faster than you by chance?
I don't know. That thing just jumped on me while I was crushing island 5. There is nothing else in the game that instakills you with a full sack of money and that can just lolrun past walls.
It just breaks every rule of the game you have been relying on.

I guess the endgame now means you are no longer allowed to watch battles because that thing can just randomly come and game over you so just stay in base and watch the grass grow. Fun.

I'm just tired of it being every single day now. The scratch sound gets kind of annoying when you hear it all the time. And the feeling like your now "stuck indoors"

Instead of enjoying watching my units battle, now I'm watching the middle of my castle walls.


Mid game its a rare novelty and its kind of fine when it ultra rare. But every day later on...nope.

[Tat011]

I actually got killed by it in the middle of the day and with no warning or way to prevent it. Extremely unfair.

[Rio]

Also what just happened. I lost due to winter on island 5. I restart on island 1 and everything is suppose to be reset.

I destroy the dock portal and 4 crown stealers spawn from the other side of the map portal. I thought enemy strength always reset if you lose?
