Two times I use wall miners:
1) Sometimes I'll use one to punch a hole for my donated troops to pop a Forbidden City.
2) Some times on maze bases with high walls I'll use one so I can rally inside without losing my Supply Vehicles.
EDIT: As someone above said better to give up 4 troop space...
36 trade goods in 2-3 hours!?! I'm lucky if I can get 6 or 7 attacks in a training blessing. Since the update I only get a NTG about half the time when I five star the opponent, less if I don't get QV. Ocassionally (1 time in 4) I get 2 NTG's with a five star victory. At best I get 4 or 5 in...
If you war a lot you can't beat the UN. Now that coalitions are strengthened the need for more and more National Trade Goods far outweighs the need for faster retrain on planes.
Since the algorithm seems to have World War bases in a much more random order now, and since the algorithm doesn't take into account things like FC or coalition, how do you determine who hits what base? I've got a rough algorithm I've developed. Hoping you all can help me refine it. I should...
I imagine that some of the "inroads" on stalemates has to do with the broader matching. If you are an average of 30 levels above or below the opponent there aren't going to be many stalemates.
The one thing no one has mentioned yet is the use of mills and markets. They are high hit point buildings meaning if you can put them where troops will waste time clearing them while under attack from mortars or other defensive buildings that's best. Also it's always preferable to put mortars...
There are three methods I generally use and all have pretty much been mentioned. If there aren't many air defenses around FC (including towers/castle) I will use planes.
If the FC and TC aren't too far apart I'll try to rally between them and take them both out.
Otherwise I'll sacrifice...
For much the same reason I'd love you to pick German, Greek, or Chinese.
But honestly that means almost no one high level uses German, Greek, Japanese, or Chinese. Which may tell you something.
It used to be it booted you out of the game when you couldn't watch the replay for whatever reason (memory issues?). If you want to watch it you need to force quit the application and go in again.
At least during planning day the enemy coalitions aren't showing up. I actually see them, but only the top sliver. They are covered up by the frame below them. I should mention this is on an iPhone.
I just replaced my tanks with APC's in battles. Keep your troops together and they will do great. Best thing is once they have done a few deploys all the foot troops can start ripping through walls pretty well.
