I would like to request that in the future feature changes with as large an impact as this were called out a little more explicitly.
I just turned in with 4 cards thinking I was forgoing about 10% of the troops I might get by waiting for the 5th card. Spoils were at 200, and I thought there might be 4 others who might turn in (a 12-player game with 8 people left). My thoughts being that if I waited for the 5th card, I might get 220 troops... Imagine my surprise when I noticed that the next round of cards would be worth 235! So now if I waited for my 5th card, I might have received 370 troops. So I just potentially left 170 troops on the table as opposed to 20.
A drastic feature change like this deserves to A) be opt-in or B) widely (more than once) and loudly (more than a link in an announcement post) advertised before being implemented.
