There were too many trashy prizes on the wheel on the final day. There were two good/decent prizes, which I got with the free shots and I ended up with the 3 bountiful seasons in the bullseye, which I really, really wanted, and four useless prizes. I don't remember what they were. I know one was spearmen and one was another type of troops. I think one of the other two was loot protection, which is completely useless.
The point is that people try to justify spending the $$ to get to the big prize and there's no way I can justify spending the crowns by saying to myself, "OK, yeah, it might cost me 450 crowns to get to the seasons, but if it does at least I get 200 spearmen too!" Now, if one of the other prizes remaining had been prosperity or domination or something else that feels like a real prize, maybe I would have been tempted to spend those 450 crowns.
