Combat Tactics is destroyed in the new update.

[firedancer]

I just updated the game, so it is not being pulled from google. Maybe your device already auto-updated it like it happened to one of my devices last time.

The new troops are still beyond reach for me

Everyone can have different opinions here and there is a bunch of players who like everything what developers do, but this update reduced divercity of the combat gameplay so badly. I thought that I need more time to get used to new AI, but no, it's just dumb. The more I try it, the more stupidness of AI and bugs I find. Defensive horsemen must be nerfed asap. Now, you may loose 80% of your army on 30 levels lower base if you're not using blessings which are OP too. So the game is loosing 'connected gameplay' component completely when you're forced to leave the game after each battle or pay. All old units rapidly became bad. Soldiers dumber and step on buildings. HC finds unpredictable paths and die faster, bombards are not efficient due to defensive horsemen spam. Archers still stuck. Who playtested this new combat???

The A.I. updated is truly disastrous. The troops run around the base aimlessly looking for death.

As for the defensive horsies, I think they did that to increase the difficulty to deter the high level Age players from easily steam-rolling the poor lower Age players.

I'm glad I didn't update. No comments about the new troops?

I'm currently waiting for a post where people complain about ... "How am I supposed to defend against air raids?", "How can those high Age fellas time-travel to my Age and wipe me out with Zeppelins?", "Those high Age fellas just raided my base with air units and I can't defend against it - This is so unfair, I'm quiting the game".

Well, defensive HC buff may be not bad idea, but combined with broken AI it just increases the mess.

Zloca, My loot number went to 128m as we spoke. I hope this is fast enough. My point was that I know what I'm doing in the attack and defense.

Anyone else having more frequent crashes during an attack? I went from not crashing for two months straight, to crashing 4 times over the past 24 hours. Regardless of having cleared all defensive buildings, after crashing all units and tactics deployed are lost. To add insult to injury here, every time I've crashed I've not yet had the opportunity to loot the mills to pay for the rebuild.

 

[Redgar]

Well, even now there are nations somewhere in the Jungle still stuck in the iron age, so nothing weird here. People will quit if combat is dumb and boring, tho

new AI got worse than the previous ones...at least they fix the dumb supply carts running through the walls though...

I've lost the whole army with blessing on noob square base, caz HC AI is bugged and I had no tactics. But he will say that it is better, because his defense become stronger. After that he will start splitting players to groups where his group is obviously better, so don't try to convience him too hard

hahaha ur such a bad player. today i started at 2100 medals, hit 2200 medals but too many "no opponents found" dropped myself to 2000 medals then back up to 2100. ill stay around there until more opponents become available and dont get as many no opponent found messages. so in one day i earned 200 medals at the higher medal ranges. im not even medal farming. im raiding for gold to upgrade my lvl8 walls. if i was purely medal farming it would be much more than that. probably farmed 15 mil gold today......i dont need my defense too be stronger. im logged in most of the day. even when i cant play all day because of work peace treaties last so long, come on in and smash my base. at most ill be hit twice in one day. then raid it all back......unlike u i know how to play so im not on here pissing my panties over every....single....change...they make....waaagh cavalry were changed....waaagh infantry were changed. just play the freaking game. were all subject to the same changes. if they buff defense then guess what. ur defense was buffed...and my defense was buffed so who cares. if they nerf cav then both our cav were nerfed. were playing with the same toolbox and thats all that matters. if they make attacking super hard so u can only get one attack per hour between army rebuild then ill be playing one of the many other games i enjoy in between my hourly attack. theres some issues with the ai. theyll fix it. in the meantime feel free to log off while u cry in the corner so i can raid more bases

The troops are just wandering around the based without attacking any nearest building. Completely a disastrous update!

 

[Redgar]

You talk like you were getting real army medals or smth.

Make it shorter next time, I was bored to read after the first couple of words. So what you wanted to say?

 

[Redgar]

There are some players happy about new AI, caz they got more medals or loot. They are in the special group of better players lol )))

 

[redprince]

I'm in Medieval with Germans and I use...32 swords, 32 bows, 1 ballista, 1 cart...to lose a raid I need to try hard to lose. I never use HC though, and that might be what the issue is for you guys. I also never use blessing and very rarely use tactics. I'm not trying downplay your guys situation, so I hope that's not how it's coming off. But I truly am not having AI issues...aside from the cart being stupid when I use rally. But that's been the case for a while.

 

[firedancer]

The update needs a patch!

yup, new AI means bad players lose entire army, cry, log off. so i am finding tons more maxed our storage players to farm. im in the special group of players who thrive regardless of the changes. i have to burn medals because too high leagues run out of targets. ur in the piss ur panties about every change group

 

[dbukalski]

im not having ai problems. but defenders got way stronger thats for sure

 

[dbukalski]

ur problem is probably u paid $800 to get where u got in the game and now u dont know how to push forward under ur own steam.

 

[Nathan Win]

The troops AI is fking horrible. They're either not attacking the closest buildings or just wandering aimlessly. I usually don't lose all my army and now I lose all my army most of the time. It'll take forever to gain enough loot to upgrade. FU BHG for having pos of QA. Other issues are tolerable, but messing up the raiding mechanics making this game not playable. Fix this crap fast,

 

[Redgar]

Even in this post you see that majority of players is unhappy about new AI, some of them are even thinking of restoring previous versions... Other experienced players like Whatwhat do not hurry to update after reading this... So you might represent the group of cheaters as far as I can see from your alliance, than it's basically explains a lot.
