Can we hear something official from a mod or a dev about the British issue?

[Player Killer]

Don't nerf the Brits. Just buff the Brits shooters with an AI upgrade. Just add a few wall hacking subroutines lol

 

[Green Bird]

This is a great idea. Making revolution very cheap would be a great way to diversify and rejuvenate player base. I support.

 

[Green Bird]

Lord, with all respect I contend that it is practically impossible to defend against the British assault. I am a level 190 Global with level 12-13 walls with a lot of uni done and they are the only ones who can 5 star my base. Not with ease, but 5 stars.

 

[Green Master]

Increase slot for shooters to 2 and/or
Prevent shooters from shooting over walls

 

[LordJestix]

Make it free to change nations, but make it have a CD of say 1 month. That way people cant just abuse the system and change at will. Or for 600 crowns they can change at will.

 

[Tsamu]

You can't nerf the British, or any other nation: technology and progress don't work that way in real life. What does happen is defenses adapt and improve to deal with the strongest threat. So towers get longer range, or shooters can't shoot over/through level 16 walls (or whatever the next unreleased level is), or a library or university tech stops shooters shooting over walls.

And other nations can be buffed, again through new and improved tech. So like there is a library tech to improve rallies, essentially giving everyone the German power, there could be a tech to increase shooter range by 1 for all nations. I think that would screw the British, because shooters would stay behind siege weapons, exposing the artillery to tower and mortar fire.

 

[Navalis]

In that case British players simply (for the most part) would not research that tech! That or they would restructure their army from the ground up...

 

[Festivus]

I don't need to hear from a bunch of British players about my lack of ability while they gloss over their own use of the game's biggest crutch. I don't need to hear that if British archers are nerfed something else becomes too powerful. British archers are the only units in the entire game that are mechanically different with their +1 range. All other unique units just have higher HP or DPS, they don't get any other advantage that completely alters their behavior or utility. I don't need to hear that I should just switch to British too, that solves nothing defensively or NTG-wise. Thanks.

You know, maybe it's your lack of ability that's leaving you vulnerable to Brit attackers? Anyway, if you nerf Brit archers then something elkse will just become too powerful, relatively speaking.

Maybe you should just switch to British and join the party?

 

[yemen]

Or, with range 6 shooters they would cheerfully go no artillery at all.

 

[Manifesto]

Green Bird , I'm lvl 219 Atomic and occasionally I'll get 5 starred by a Brit but I've also had German HTs 4-5 star me. As you said, not easily but it can be done.
Should we nerf the HTs next?

 

[Tsamu]

I know you were only semi-serious, but if everyone switches to British, only timber will be available, and the embassy becomes useless.

 

[Tsamu]

yemen, yeah, I thought of that about an hour after writing my comment. Better to have research to increase the range of towers so British shooters can't outrange them.

 

[Imaera]

Not really, not everybody is scared of brits.

 

[yemen]

Tsamu Balancing is hard, and any changes have unintended consequences. Tweaks like increasing tower range are dangerous - suddenly ranged siege starts dying easily to towers, or absolutely requires tanks for cover, and the tank based nations (or Germans and a HT strategy) start to dominate the game. And planes; imagine the extra planes that will die when all the towers have an extra 1 radius. 1 radius is a huge increase in the area covered, the whole map becomes an interlocking tower field.

Attack helicopters were apparently a cool new feature at one point - thanks to the addition of sniper towers, they languish uselessly. Sniper towers were apparently added to counter Brits, or at least the general rifle spam strategy. There is no easy fix here.

 

[Master Contrail Program]

How would you know what my base looks like? It's not posted here. And for being such an easy target it seems to do just fine against every other nation, unless they want to go all in mercs/tactics/generals style war attack.

 

[BeerMan]

Let's just say that we share some common alliance DNA. I see that you changed your base. How's the new one working out?
