Require gold for Knight as Marshal [KBN Poll]

    I originally voted yes, gold should be required. I have since changed my mind. In the past few days we have seen several people get smashed in 130 because their gold was stolen and then they opened thinking their marshal was still on. Yes, this is player error. But the potential consequences of this player error are losing billions of might. Before gear got so crazy strong and might got inflated, being unmarshaled when your gold was stolen or ran out was certainly not good, but you had time to catch and correct it, and could rebuild relatively easily. Now billions can be gone in a minute or two.

    I've been on the beneficiary side of that a number of times - including catching 1.8b over the weekend and seeing my alliance catch about 7b from someone this morning. It's a huge rush when you're one of the lucky ones getting billions of easy tks. But it also can prompt people to quit. The person who got slammed this morning has dropped from his alliance and announced he is quitting. We can't really afford to lose more players.

      Gold

      I think drop the gold requirement. Even though it's been around since beginning of game it's clearly not working. The 20 letters some of my team mates receive every day telling them their Knights have become unassigned is driving them away, even tho they have gold and taxes high enough. It's hard to open and fight when you are getting constant hits. I don't quite trust the system to have my knight back in place when I try to open to receive these hits. It kinda kills some of the fun messaging people to hold off so you can get more gold and refresh and reassign. The amount of troops that can be killed in one shot just isn't worth the risk of opening and having your knight unassign because you have no gold. If the damage wasn't billions of might gone then maybe I could see not changing it. But between the letters and the risk of losing billions, really not worth it. It's just killing it. Get rid of gold requirement. Problem solved.

          Minimum of rules => thinking and strategy

          Are we still in a fight game or ...? I usually not use the "we always did it that way, so let us continue", but the gold requirement is a rule bringing, as someone said, a piece of thinking, responsibility and discipline in the game. Otherwise we can as well transform whole KOC into a giant "dungeon episode" (or whatever was the name of that event) where people have killed tons of troops... because 100% returned at the end.

          Indeed, human errors happen, and since gears appear, they are really painful... even more frustrating if caused by the untimely "other knight" taking over... but hey, is it so difficult to check gold, unassign refresh and re assign to be safe ?

            Change the calculation...

            Based on the way a knight unassigns, I assume the programming is 'if Gold You Own > Salary Cost, then the knight does not unassign'. So in other words, if Gold You Own is equal to zero at the time a knight is 'paid', the knight unassigns.

            Change the formula to 'if (Gold You Own + Gold Production) - Salary Cost > 0, then the knight does not unassign. The calculation takes into account your gold production. As long your production is greater than total salary, there is no way your knight should be unassigned from any position. It does not matter how often your Gold You Own reaches zero. It matters that your produce more than you pay.

            For those that turn their Tax Rate at percentage less than their Salary Cost, their knight will unassign when (Gold You Own + Gold Production) - Salary Cost < or 0.

              Gold

              Best solution I've heard. Thanks Bonz

                Bonz' approach seems like a hybrid. I have no idea if it's easy to do, but it seems to straddle the divisions in thought.

                    Thank you for all the feedback, in this thread and in private messages. We have shared the comments with gaea and will make sure players are informed if anything changes with gold requirements.
