Purification has made it reckless and pointless to send nukes against players who are not known to be hard offline or inactive as they can be easily purified and sea stormed or zeus' raged. Can we please make nukes relevant for clearing again by allowing an attacker to place multiple spells on an attack to prevent a defender from destroying an attack before it even hits the target?
no, they have added purify spell to combat players who would simply send 200-250 ls nuke with cs and few olu's to your bireme city to stop you from front sniping, this was not very strategic in the early versions of the game, and now when defenders have purify spell it forces attackers to coordinate with each others and time supports/clearing attacks which is one of the best aspects of this game, the teamwork.
there is nothing bad with purify, it is up to each attacker how to go about it, you can send more than 39 LS/24 triremes if you want to get sea stormed at your own risk.
as for favor farming and attacking with your myth nuke, you can spread it in 5-10 per each attack but be warned soft newbie players like
@LaSophie would say you are a spammer.
