Balance Changes + Decay Update

Most of these changes are positive, but why did Protect get sent to the grave? It had become popular after the rebalance, but now I doubt anybody will use it.

 

[Kenny]

Protect only lasts 11s BWAHAHAHA ok

and throw out the Selassie research for bunker defenders. LMAO

.... commandos ignore traps LLLLLOOOOOLLLLL

There’s no point investing in a strategy in this game it seems. It just gets turned on it’s head.

Get rid of the war museum and wind back ALL of these rebalances.

 

[TheRealDimp]

Many game companies do rebalances with gentle nudges. Like painting with soft brush strokes. These rebalances are more like dumping a can of paint on at once.

Seriously, I’ve never seen changes this drastic in any other game

 

[Kenny]

I was going to ask if the HT defender reduction applies to units spawned from demolished factories, but I guess there’s no point seeing as betrayal is now only 65%

It is impossible that the people doing this actually play the game. No way in the world.

 

[ThunderCrane]

It addresses some concerns. Still hard to tell, but atleast it is on a positive note.

All the spell looks like they got nerf, but they all got down to 1 space. So players have more chance to influence their game. Protection looks like got nerfed alot. But now u can use it when it counts, so... i think it should be fine.

Heavy tanks defender got nerfed which is good.

Commados can bypass trap, i think it good because i know quite alot of players like ninja style.

Improve rewards to fight advance players, so it can reduce the bullying problem in this game.

Hope it works as plan though.

 

[NateTheGreat]

This is great! All seem pointed in the right direction. A few suggestions.

Protect is getting nerfed a bit too much, need more damage reduction if duration is so short . 65% would definitely be reasonable.
Sabotage needs a smaller radius 3 space diameter (1.5 radius) instead of 4 diameter ( 2 radius)

Commandos should not ignore ALL traps, just be able to disarm 2-3 traps. Using a commando to disarm a couple landmines and a barbwire would be awesome.

 

[River]

7 sabotage + blitzkrieg sounds like we can destroy half of the base before even meet the defending troops!

I think the 30% of decreasing defending ht doesnt need because of the tactics advantage!

Commandos maybe is a real must thing now!

This was for me big offensive changes!

 

[Davina]

Positive and interesting changes with the exception of Protect. Why has it been nerfed into oblivion? Whomever decided an 80% reduction in time would balance it equally with the other tactics needs to go stand in the corner wearing a dunce cap.

 

[qi1ln]

I still think that Commando should get their troop space down.
For MRL I cant comment anything since never been used before. I'll wait and see.
Protect seems to be nerfed rather than buffed. (even tough 1 troop space)
Betrayal is also nerfed as their target, which is Heavy Tank, got nerfed.(even tough 1 troop space)
Sabotage is best one. I'll try it once updated.
For the Combat Bonus, I really appreciate it.

And thank you for listening about tactic's long build time.

 

[Blood]

Good god what a mess. I need to uninstall like the smart people in my group

 

[Omegaman]

No Title

 

[NateTheGreat]

Maybe Heavy Tank armies will now have to think on their toes without 50+ sec protects. Heavy Tank or APC + Commando which will win!!! Yay diversity!

 

[Omegaman]

What was the point of the '''Rebalance" ?
All made irrelevant if players can load up 7 Sab and just walk through your base. EA users going to love this change.

 

[Althalus]

Seems to be missing the drop in crowns per video watched from these notes? Now only 2-5 crowns per video, not impressed.

 

[NateTheGreat]

Sabotage only has 2 radius... comon 7 of them cannot sabotage an entire base. And each one is only 17 sec with upgraded univ. So at most you'll be able to sabotage 2 areas x 3 tactics for 51 sec. Definitely powerful... not game wrecking.

 

[BeerMan]

The update is out. Maxed protect is now 16 seconds.

 

[BeerMan]

It's 20 seconds now, not 17.

 

[Althalus]

No Title

Still not done pi$$ing the player base off eh guys...

 

[NateTheGreat]

13 sec * 1.3 ( 30% increase Leonardo) = 16.9sec what am I missing?
