Attacking the #1 player...

[Joe Bamboo Wissmann]

So I ran into the number one player today while I was trying to gain some medals, thought I would share the video. Tell me what yall think of my attack strategy and what you would do differently. I am new to making videos so please cut me some slack there. https://youtu.be/duT4To3GDPg

Nice battle

 

[ChelseaFC]

Interesting, no cannon queued up for this battle. Are you using them less now?

Sometimes I use 2 or 3 of them but as they get killed I tend not to remake until im done for the session they just take to long.

 

[Redgar]

I think you might lost too much units on mortairs, so this is what probably could be improved with better HC/tactics/cannons usage, but it was a good victory, so nothing to add )))

 

[mwedwards]

Thought about that, but as you had 4 tactics available it seemed you might be starting a fresh session without cannon. They were obviously not required, which is interesting -- food for thought as I'm going to be hitting Enl. in 2 days...

 

[JuDomines]

The use of heal tactic was master piece. I really enjoyed how you saved this flying supply wagon that cross the wall

Yesterday's change to infantry range may have changed the outcome here, eagerly anticipating another zero-cannon attack replay...

 

[This game is laggy]

RIP Supply Trains that passed through walls straight into Spike Traps (about 3:37 in).

And if you look closely around 2:00, you can also notice some bugs

• Supply Trains pass through walls
• Troops forget about the rally after the wall is destroyed (if rally were working properly, the troop would all move to the rally spot instead of going their own ways)

I do have a question though: why use the First Aid tactics? In both occasions your cavalries still have almost full health and there's nothing that can really hurt them (mortar barely hurts them and you have plenty of troops left to deal with the defenders).

That said, it's nice to see high level play. Keep it comin'

p/s: You also get to see the replay bug in this video. Log shows 5 stars and replay shows 4 stars.

 

[Redgar]

Try doing it after the update lol )))

 

[Joe Bamboo Wissmann]

I must admit that since the update things are very different. I pretty much NEED to use Cannons now to have any chance at near max bases. I have done a couple videos since the update, check this one out. https://youtu.be/vafwTMLvlBw

joe, u skipped a 97k, and 171k gold base. then attacked a 27k gold base. i presume ur hunting medals in that case. if ur hunting medals then ur talking grinding maximum medals per hour. tactics and mercenaries dont really fit into a sustainable grinding, farming strategy. those are tools for taking down whales(massive amount of resource in storage but too strong defense to tackle without).

I was more looking for a base I thought I could beat lol. I wanted to show something interesting for the video. But to be honest I am not worried about loot, except Oil, so I mostly just grind when I can, but I cant play for super long stretches of time right now.

if u posted the video for people to just see it and move along then thanks for sharing. if ur interested in discussing ur tactics then theres some stuff that can be said. if ur not interested just ignore what i say no worries. 1) ur video was standard mixed troops battle. besides deploying the troops what do u feel someone would learn from the battle? 2) about 1/3 lf the way thru the battle i was itching for a rally. ur troops were unecessarily scattered. which makes them vulnerable. too many 1 v 1 battles againt defensive buildings and troops. u did eventually rally after a cannon died 3) in general battles involving mercenaries and tactics would be against valuable targets. in terms of showing something...show something worth seeing. a low wall level no resource in storage is not that. so basically if ur gonna show a vanilla army being used. use it well. or come up with more unique army composition to post videos. this is not an attack on u just a discussion about the video u posted

I watched your other video about the Industrial Age too - a bit disappointed with the no response as well.
