I personally do not like the recent update and prefered it when Orc camps 'did not' flee from you, when orc cams 'did' give silver after an attack. The only things in my opinion that needed fixing was the stuck commanders, PvP, Troop stats and Guild introduction.
Please, do something to rectify this as soon as possible,

Please Note that this is my opinion after the patch applied on 5/2/14.
Pre-Patch i had the game rated 5/5.
i liked this game as it was not a 'ptw' game. now it seems the only way to level high level heros is to spend gold. im disappointed. You had so much positive feed-back from people as it was not a 'ptw' and now it seems that you have patched the game in such a way that spending irl money is the only way to succeed.
The key to a successful product/business is to keep your target audience interested, constantly busy with your product and most of all, fun to use and/or play. Your recent patch has gone against all of this, and it now seems more like a task, to find camps, wait for the travel time, wait weeks on end for res and silver growth, to purchase building, army and heros. A daunting, dreary, hope killing, time wasting task.
So Digit, some time down the line, once you have firmly established your target audience and have a large fan base, could there be a possibility or alliances? and diplomacy between alliances would be a nice touch as-well.
You should really make you gold and/or kreed currency more available for people who can't really "pay to play". for example, on Kabam, most of there games hold some sort of a competitions with some pretty sweet prizes, such as rare in-game items or high value in game currency such as gems/diamonds and gold. Just a thought
