Agreed this is probably the worst update in all the years I have been playing the game
The worst thing here seems to be that theres no limitations to this new tasks. You have multiple contradicting tasks at the same time.
As I said in other place. Dev team is either very stupid, haven't played the game ever or intoxicated
Catastrophique up date. I Think seriously to stop playing this game.

I don't mind the new tasks however there shouldn't be 2 contradicting tasks at the same time. It is impossible to complete a task which requires you to to open silver chest and the same time another task wants you to open common war chest. It is ok to have a task that forces you to win or at least gain chest in Wars but war tasks should only be two at maximum at one point. As to expansion area tasks I believe they would like players to open new regions and expand there.
Just like how you don't get 'Produce and Collect' tasks for items in regions you have not yet opened ...
It'd be nice if the developers can write some code that ensures war-related tasks only appear when your club is at war.
It's absolutely ludicrous that a player can possibly get a 'Open Silver War Chest' during the cool down period between wars. Meaning they'd have to wait 2 days till their next war ends, to be able to do the task.
Not only does this seriously hamper one's ability to complete the maximum 75 tasks in Megalopolis, given how competitive this level it, it's also a death knell to your hopes of winning that particular week. You'd have to be extremely lucky if you cancel 3 or 4 such tasks and can still end up in the top places. As tasks are random, another player might get something that's actually possible to complete, such as Upgrade Omega Homes.
I'm fully aware that the randomness of COM assignments means it's not perfectly fair across the board. I'm fine with the luck of the draw. But I have to disagree with tasks that you physically cannot do. For example, 'Complete Regional Exports' when the regional depot is currently unavailable. Or produce 55 Fish when you haven't unlocked Frosty Fjords yet, and don't have the required population to do so.
I read people saying they have not gotten 'Expand Mountain / Beach Area' when all of theirs have been expanded. If the developers rightly thought of that, why didn't the same thing occur to them about war-related tasks too?
I simply wonder why war tasks are even in CoM...2 completely separate contests that have nothing to do with each other.
Now 70% of the CoM assignments are linked to the war game....it’s a crying shame.
I'm kind of on the fence about war assignments.
Initially iz like "wth?!?" and not happy about HAVING to be at war during CoM, or how war cooldowns would make these assignments undoable at times, or that some assignments required upgrading disasters, etc.
But I soon realized war (and other) assignments have nearly totally replaced those god-awful "Earn Regional Simoleans" tasks which were an automatic skip lol. I'd far rather do *mostly* easy war tasks and occasionally skip those that are impractical/undoable vs 100% having to skip all the regional sim earning tasks that constantly appeared in my CoM list every 3rd or 4th new task...
I agree war CoM tasks are unfair to those who avoid doing wars (and I don't blame them for skipping war - it is utterly broken). But - CoM is just as broken as war, with ppl using feeder cities or outright hacking/cheating just as much as they do in war lol. It's online morality y'all - ppl do chintzy, sh*tty things; anything goes to get ahead. Makes me sick tbh; but that's the internet for ya - no consequences for bad behavior brings out the worst in ppl...
Anyway, I guess my overall point is: ya may as well do war, if only for CoM. War IS broken. War IS full of chintzy tactics and cowardly BS - but then again, so is CoM... Lol good times!
Wow. I made a well-thought out and expressed reply, saying nothing more controversial than others have, and had it reported/deleted... Lol! Guess I'd better not explore the topic as deeply as I did previously? "Goodbye freedom of speech!"
All I basically said is I'm on the fence about war (and other) CoM assignments, but that I'm glad they've replaced those awful "Earn Regional Sims" tasks that used to constantly appear every 3rd-4th new task..
This time around I'm not going to discuss in-depth how CoM and war are equally broken and chintzed/hacked, maybe that'll keep this reply from being deleted? Lol
Even being a somewhat frequent War player, I'd still take the 'Earn Regional Simoleons' tasks over War tasks any day.
Simply because the Regional Simoleons tasks are doable at any time (just gotta plan ahead and produce or stockpile items to trigger advisor offers / build and demolish regional buildings / complete regional deliveries / upgrade regional zones). You have multiple avenues to earn the required Regional Simoloens.
Whereas War tasks are very time-sensitive. If you happen to get those whilst your club is in cooldown between Wars, you're basically screwed. Either waste 2 days sitting on it, or cancel and be at a disadvantage in your maximum points potential.
