Bunker Vs Castle

[Blacknife686]

Currently sitting at around 80k oil in IA and wondering which of these buildings are worth purchasing/ upgrading first. Baring in mind, one or both of these buildings may be featured in a weekend discount event at some point soon, which is worth my precious oil?

If you're in the lower medal range, a bunker will deter a LOT of attackers from going for you. Most players at that range seldom bother with players with bunkers because there simply are much easier targets. The fort upgrade opens up MacArthur which is nice and all, but my vote goes to bunker.

I have to disagree, I love bases with bunkers. As long as you have the betrayal tactic they actually help the attacker.

I also think a bunker is a good deterrent on defense - whereas you'd already have 3 or 4 Generals in your castle. Ask yourself: is getting one more General, who is slow & in a tank, more valuable to you than a bunker?

Often, if I can't decide which 'thing' to get, I'll choose the one I'll most regret not getting.

Bases with bunkers arent bad if you have a betrayal or two, but upgrading Napoléon as much as possible is better than MacArthur anyway. Depeneds really, do you defend more or attack more?

Castle, I always upgrade anything that benefits my offense first, even if it's only an extra general. Also castles are good for aerial defense

 

[GreekGod]

I would suggest to upgrade your air units instead. They will make a big difference in your battles. Depends what you are looking for right now, offense(air units) or defense(bunker) or both(castle).

Yes, I agree. I typically pack 2-3 betrayals myself for a run. But I'm also in a higher medal range where you regularly encounter 2 lv 3 bunkers and a tc full of howitzers. When I was in the 1000-1200 medal range, finding a bunker was a somewhat rare sight, and once I got one the raids seemed to get cut in half on my base. I assumed it was because an attacker didn't want to bother wasting a tactic on me when he could find some lv 95 without a bunker to attack.

I I decided to go with the castle upgrade, and due to the new event weekend I think I made the right choice

 

[leoelephant]

So clever you are.. I upg one bunker yesterday with full price. I can still enjoy the deal for upgrading the other one.

The HT in the bunker is even slower then the Gen in a tank.....lolol

 

[Furyan]

Well bunkers etc etc have 50% off atm, so that beats the castle ​
Like me, f**k everything you think you know

 

[Motaz Tarek]

if 2 bunkers separated then ur doomed even with ur betrayal

 

[Hammer]

Not if you have two betrayal
