battle timer should be increased

[Motaz Tarek]

Idk why nobody is talking about the battle timer and how unfair that it doesn't increase with the advance of ages and the huge increase in defensive buildings, also after nerfing dps of horse men series and making soldiers (which are the main dps) totally useless and die in a blink
U cant wipe out a base unless ur a hacker who uses 4 tatics and 2 max lvl generals and full mercenary army each battle,
Also horse men series dmg aganist walls should be increased cuz they take forever (except french) to break a wall, and no i cant depend on wall breakers since they break a hole only a single time during the battle which is not enough with multiple banking.. So i hope increasing battle timer to allow fair battles be taken in consideration

Hmm, I don't think the battle timer should be increased. I get my EA base wiped out by IA troops so don't want them having any more time.

As for wall breakers, carry 4 with you and breaking through 2 walls won't be a problem.

 

[dbukalski]

people have talked about it and ur correct motaz in ur entire post

@ parmenion - 4 wall miners isnt enough. well designed bases will force u to break through many many walls. most units have terrible dps for the job and usually u lose too many in the process

 

[Aurelius...]

Good post, but tough subject. I agree with all of the problems you state, but I'm not sure I want to make it easier to 5 star people.

Oh, french hc only have a 15% dps boost. Greek have 20%. Neither break walls well.

 

[Aurelius...]

On second thought, who knows. Defense does become quite overpowered later in the game. It would certainly be more fun to fully annihilate bases.

 

[Aurelius...]

And given more time, it's likely that more people would be willing to shift away from sniping tcs.

 

[Motaz Tarek]

Its hard to depend on too many wall breakers, they r effective only to break through superficial walls,horse men nerf shouldnt have included aganist wall, cuz there are already many troubles facing them specially defenders that lure them from attacking defense buildings while defense building ram them so they r easy to die, moreover they spend forever to break walls making them lose much hp till they break

 

[Motaz Tarek]

Well, what i meant with french and greek horses breaking through walls are the people using full horse army to snipe TC and get league reward for it, sry i haven't explained that, generally horse men weakness was ment to be aganist defender troops cuz they were eliminating defender troops as fast as archers, but they didnot notice that it will make them take forever to break walls specially in well banked bases with high lvl walls making them totally useless and lose much hp before they can reach their target

 

[Gambrinus]

I'll agree that defenses get way overpowered in the EA and especially IA, so i think adding an extra 15 second per each of those ages to the battle timer would be great.

 

[Endril]

I agree that for the higher 2 ages that are available at the moment that the time isnt enough. Considering it takes over an hour to build a strong mixed army adding a little time to the battle clock for these ages makes sense. For the players that are sniping it wont make a difference but for players who enjoy destroying a whole base or even just making sure you get all the defences can be a challenge.

u could say they already did that with library tech that made it 3:30 total

i need like 5 minutes to have chance to destroy entire industrial defense. i dont use kitchen sink attack

 

[Ravenlord]

Switch to Germans dbuk - you get more rallies per minute = more game control and/or quicker win!

 

[dbukalski]

ive thought about it ravenlord. im still working on 5 star strategies ill be mixing up nations at some point to see what they have to offer

 

[zaphod]

I agree completely. A bit more time would increase the chance of bringing (part) of your army back home and thus decrease the time of retraining. Playing with a mixed army is much more fun, especially with added air cover, but it is not the best strategy if you are in a rush to get somewhere.

I think adding more time would make for a much more interesting game and add a lot of depth. The way it is now we just throw our raiders against anything we want to get our greasy hands on and press retrain. Not much strategy involved.

 

[Motaz Tarek]

We cant just change to german to have a chance for returning troops, germans ability to rally more essentially made for minimizing troops loss by better control of ur army not wiping out all defenses or not

 

[Motaz Tarek]

Yea, the reason players in advanced ages snipe town centers or play full raider army is the overpowered defenses and the time allowed to wipe out those defenses

 

[Ravenlord]

Really? I'm 4-5 starring with the Germans - quicker than I was with the Japanese - and I often return with more than half my army. (GA at 1400 medals).
Admittedly there are plenty of battles where I have to use the Merc and tactics .... I just hate losing!

 

[Radzeer]

Hm, I'm in IA and at 2200 medals, level 140, still able to 5 star an IA (non suspicious - i.e all walls maxed) base in 50% of time. Until the rules are the same for all, I do not have a problem with it. Though I'm attacking mostly with weapon and armor buff and usually with full alliance gate (24 troops) help.

 

[Motaz Tarek]

Yea i know that cuz u got better control over ur army i mean u cant let me choose between losing my whole army cuz i cant finish off all defenses or play as german, germans control is to minimize troop loss, I'm GA and i cant find a problem as a roman to fight GA bases but when it comes to EA it will be a big problem cuz they got like 3 extra defense buildings along with extra traps and economic buildings, so i guess am going to suffer each battle to return whats left of my troops cuz of short timer even if i am winning the battle

 

[Radzeer]

Eh, you forgot already how to attack with a regular army. Raiders will not 5 star even in 10 minutes
