Yesterday I was thrilled to report that the 5 Attack and 25 Power Attack buttons were activated for ALL players over level 500 in Brazil
(1). I got a few emails from players claiming that they still didn't have this feature. It's important to remember that when your bonus is activated, the 5 Attack and 25 Power Attack buttons will vanish while the bonus is in effect.
Here I am attacking a player without my Mercenary bonus activated. You can see I have a 5 Attack button and a 25 Power Attack button.
Notice the buttons change once I activate the bonus. Once the 50 fights in Brazil are over, the buttons go back to 5 and 25.
This does not happen when you activate the Marksman bonus. The Marksman bonus often confuses people in the player updates. If you see that a player won and then lost some fights while they attacked you, most likely they had this bonus activated (or they were using boosts in the winning attacks).
There is also some confusion as to the time intervals in which players can activate their Brazil Crew bonuses. Zynga started an experiment on April 4th and they haven't decided which option to use (or they forgot about it)
(1). Depending on your account, you either have a 18, 12 or 8 hour timer between activation intervals. The same is true with the Brazil Crew queue, you can either hold 16, 12 or 8 crew members. For more on the Brazil crew bonuses and how they work, go

Thanks to Kari from the PAC for reminding us how Mercenary bonus affects the 5 Attack and 25 Power Attack buttons.
Why are the victory tokens drop rate so messed up with 25 stam power attack in Brazil? I get around 200 with my stam in other cities, and in Brazil I get around 50 Max. Shouldn't Zynga do something about this ?_?
ReplyDeleteBecause 5 fights are only counting as one so you get less Victory Coins. I'll probably do a post about the statistics soon.
ReplyDeleteThis 5x/25x and 5 times loot is amazing. Cannot believe what I've been missing! Glad this has been fixed!
