Barbed wire

[Angel forever]

does anyone know if Barbed wire reduces dmg of the wall breaker. It looks like it slows them down but don't seem to reduce dmg? If anyone has an answer that would be awesome

am sure it does, however according to the current balance between wall breaker damage and walls hp, u may notice that wall breakers almost always success in breaking the wall even when barbed wire is on
the only change barbed wire would do is that it will disallow the wall breaker to make a big gap by breaking multiple segments, as the primary wall brick takes 100% of the damage the adjacent bricks take less damage which is under normal conditions enough to break them but with barbed wire it won't be enough to take down the adjacent walls
if u really want resistant walls u need the max lvl (white walls) as they signifcantly increase in hp, kremlin, saladin univ research and wall hp coalition (in wars) which will be enough to stop wall miners even without barbed wires

I have the white walls nothing in uni yet but it's seems like even with the barbed wire seems like it don't reduce the dmg

I do not think barbed wire affects engineer damage and I cannot imagine why it should. The chap is still carrying his explosives in the backpack only more slowly. Gives towers and ballista more time to take him out, though.

would be great if him stepping on a land mine produced a double explosive effect, though. Or are we assuming his charges are not fused / primed?

Angel forever i tested it myself, as i said according to current balance even with barbed wire dmg reduction he will be able to break in, just the 1ry wall brick he targets without breaking adjacent bricks cuz they recieve less damage under normal conditions which if reduced by barbed wire won't be enough to break them

Barbed Wire can both slow a unit down, and impede their overall destructive power by 45% - 60% (Depending on what level the Barbed Wire is).

With this logic, it wouldnt effect any units damage

Which is why I am surprised that it does, based on the moderators response, to be honest.

I have max aa level barbed wire it ain't doing a thing to wall breakers iv seen them stand right on it not do a thing to there dmg vs my aa walls so either that dmg is just so high or it don't work on them
