    well
    1) Kegs are useless. most of the time you can't reach or they bug out and don't destroy any blocks the only hope is to throw a bomb on the ground, pick up the keg and suicide explode in the enemy base AND while you are throwing bomb someone 90 % of the time seals your keg.

    2) I beg you return the mechanics of the keg explosion, just reduce the radius so 3 blocks away from the explosion blocks are being destroyed and in 6 block radius instakills players if not shielded. Don't mess the previously well done and successfully tested mechanics. Round keg explosions were realistic. Also please return explosion on collision, just make it so that the hit between keg and block must be stronger than it was before.

    3) Also make it so players could light bombs while holding them in your hands and add some sort of window where knights and archers could see what is selected. It is really annoying to go to your inventory every time I want to see what is selected.

    4) Make mines detonation radius bigger so that players wont reach them with swords.
    :blank::blank::ladder:
    :blank::blank::ladder:
    :ladder::ladder::b_shop::ladder::ladder:
    :blank::blank::ladder:
    :blank::blank::ladder:

    :ladder:- detonation blocks
    :castle_bg:- blast radius (instakills players)
    :castle_wall:- destroyed block
    :b_shop:- explosive

    5) When the library is destroyed all research notes must be in one book and not a pile of scrolls, it will be easier to steal researches for the enemy team. (more refined end game scenario). Also if team A will steal team B's researches and put them in to their library it should be End game. As a different end game scenario.

    6) It is too hard to spot fire and understand where it is to get it extinguished. I don't now is it a bug or new textures.

    7) Bases are still looking like 9 story hotels, but better. Keep refining that drom idea and it will eventually get perfect. At least I hope so.

    8) It could be helpful if there was an optional window which showed things that were researched, so when Players are buying scrolls they wont wait 350 gold.

    Good job on bug fixing. keep refining beta I hope more people will migrate from classic to beta.
    But new updates made Beta worse. Serious changes in the update must be done and quick!

    I understand the devs wanted to implement that drom mechanics but it takes so much time to build these shop. so people build the fastest and compact way possible and then rush to fight leaving one poor builder to do the boring job. Even if he enjoys it is unfair both building and fighting aspects must be fun that's why prefer people play classic.

    Sometimes when I play new update it seams that devs have ideas which they want to put in to the game, so the SHOVE all these ideas in and hope for the best.
    Devs remember how you made classic you must know when to stop.

    10) Devs the best idea you had in the whole KAG game was building time. Add it to the beta. It might help.

    11) Boats are too far in the research line and people cant chose what to do go dig gold or research same problem like BETA and Classic has People are sure that research will work but slowly and in the same way every time, but mining gold is not super fun and some one might go and dig some of it and you won't have enough ...Etc.

    I really hope that devs will see this post and fix stuff; till then I wont play beta!
    :(:>:(:
    That's my opinion!

    Also, I feel like I should add this, as this is my opinion.
    This game is so, so much fun when it gets into the late game, with large, awesome battles with a bunch of cool weapons.
    The thing is, the game oft gets stuck in the early/mid game due to rushes that either end the game in a couple minutes, or cripple one team so that they cannot recover enough to get their production on track, but not enough to die. Then we have a stalemate.
    Also, bomb arrows are evil.

    This killed KAG, way to go. You could have left it where it was and added little things. Every game ends this way.

    You mean update 780? Yeah, it has quite a few flaws that i didn't realize until now, but beta is beta, and nothing is concrete.

    Dude to harsh it never killed the game but it wounded it badly.
    That is a biased unthought statement.

    They add useless stuff instead of fixing the things that need fixed. Like reach slashes.

    Way to go and to be retard about it.

    I only realize it's not as fun because no one even bothers to build proper nice castles, it's always hotels and half assed walls, the main problem is, everything is too easily destroyed, I think players should be able to besiege castles and keep on attacking each other for extended periods of time, or the main problem is everything nice takes way too much time to build and only few seconds to destroy, not everyone is fast, not everyone has imagination and there is a lackluster of blocks to use, also there is no point upgrading wood to stone as it does not halve the material cost at the moment.
