Any Idea why In Global Age no new troop expansion?

[The Huns]

I play as Roman and all other ages being Roman helped a bit each level. You got more Barrack space or more Barracks so the national benefit expanded. With Global Age no such expansion. All other nations still got their bonuses (Chinese got extra defender at town center, British still get range bonus and damage bonus on more powerful archer types, French still take less time to produce troops, Germans get Teutonic Fury added to their newer more powerful troops, etc.). Is it just that the system is already having issues with the memory to track all the current troops on the screen? Were Romans getting too powerful?

Can you not upgrade the barracks any further in global age?

 

[The Huns]

Nope. Still maxed out at 8. Same as Industrial Age.

 

[Motaz Tarek]

yep they should've considered that making barracks upgrades stop at IA is a nerf to romans since they get benefit of 10% troop space upgrade per age and they have just deprived romans from having that benefit in GA

There has got to be a limit somewhere to the number of troops any one nation can have until it starts to get OP.

Anyway when you mentioned all those benefits that the other nations still get to enjoy, don't you still get to enjoy the benefits of the Roman's preexisting extra troop space?

For example, when the other nations can only afford on 1 or 2 HTs, Romans can afford an extra HT by sacrificing just a few troop spaces?

But that's the main advantage of the Romans. Extra troop space. And as far as being OP it would add one or two to the troop space for the 15 extra troops that everyone else got.

Yes we still get the benefits from before. As do other nations. But other nations get the extra benefits expanded in Global Age. It's as Motaz Tarek states above a relative nerf. Lets take the Germans (my other nation). They get that 15% blitzkreig added to all the troop upgrade amounts for Global Age. So the German advantage grows when you reach Global Age. The Roman advantage does not.

EDIT: And I'm just wondering if this relative nerf is because the Romans were deemed OP, or if it was an unintended consequence of something else.

The attacking force in Global Age is very big at the beginning: the Global Units Air supply, the event troops, the huge mercenary 6 tank forces. When Global Age come, attacker has huge advantage over defender because most of the player cannot upgrade the defend buildings fast.

Later they can add the upgraded barrack if the balance need it. But for now anyone who can pay crown to get 6 mercenary tanks don't need it!

 

[BV123]

Who knows... maybe they are saving barrack upgrades for the later ages.

Look at it this way. The other national benefits is a gradual progressive increase as they advance in the ages. Where else the Roman's seems to be more of a step increment every time there is a barrack upgrade.

So I guess that's how they try to even things out.

The game is anyway hard on hardware resources, increasing the troops space again would be unbearable for many devices. Troops AI needs computational power...

Yeah, this was my guess as to the reason. Unfortunately this points to no barrack upgrades for Atomic Age either. May be time to consider a change in Nation.

Game is geared heavily towards offense, and the global troops are very strong. No barracks upgrade is fine for now. And yes, more troops would mean more crashing because this game is very demanding

I'm with BV on this. Romans have always had more troop space & still do. Brits always had +1 range & still do. Germans always had bonus DPS & still do. French always trained faster & still do. So Chinese have an extra worker - whoop-de-do!!!

Where is the Roman nerf?. Nowhere! If you were Greek and were complaining l might feel some sympathy for you .....

 

[Motaz Tarek]

actually if u wanna be fair, germans got extra 15% army size in term of damage not health, romans got extra 10% army size in terms of health and damage, french got extra army size in terms of health and damage concerning alliance donation ( which is by the way multi-role as they are useful in both defense and offense)
romans were beasts when soldiers had higher range and ability to shoot through walls and actually that was a main reason for some ppl to pick romans.
now the 10% extra army space is the only thing left and as i stated, other nations have what's almost equal to that bonus beside other bonuses

 

[Motaz Tarek]

possible unintended, i guess the main reason is, extra 15 troop space would make offense overpowers defense

 

[JMoney]

If you buff troop upgrades enough that one troop is almost as effective as 2 troops then you don't need 2 of those troops. This is probably why they decided not to add more troop space. Just look at the % of damage the artillery goes from to howitzer for example. It's humongous enough to make up for that -15 troop space on a building that could potentially take about two weeks to upgrade, which in turn also has a negative effect on one's ability to actually play the game via training troops. With the way they could be go with it, they could give the global age to atomic age troops some huge % buffs. That's not even considering that there is a possibility of sea units or something like that considering they had turned the river into a sea side not too long ago.

Ok, let me go over it.
Here's my Troop makeup for Roman (6 Ranged Seige, 2 HC, 53 Ranged Infantry) DPS Industrial - 5342 DPS Global 6428. 20% increase
Here's my Troop makeup for German (5 Ranged Seige, 2 HC, 49 Ranged Infantry) DPS Industrial (with 15% Fury Bonus) 5415 DPS Global (with 15% Fury Bonus) 6956 28% increase

That's what I call a relative nerf.

@The Huns

Was wondering that myself as a fellow Roman. I understand what others r saying about Roman's can b OP, but 10% extra troop space IS ALL WE GET! Lol. Just saying.

Would like to c more nations b added myself.
Possibles:
Ottoman
Egyptian
American
Russian
Huns/Vikings
Irish
Scottish...ik I am missing a bunch, sorry :0 (

 

[BV123]

I have a feeling they will not increase the troop size any more in the later ages Motaz Tarek.

 

[BV123]

But you fail to include the 20% (maybe more maybe less . Idk) on HP for Romans huns. Germans don't get a HP boost. So if you think about it Germans should be the ones doing the complaining rite?

 

[Motaz Tarek]

BV123 i guess they will next age, they just want to increase it when the number of defense buildings increase by decent amount
