Combats become boring again?

Sounds like a discussion between Vietnam war vets ^_^ btw, i still use a "complicated" army composition as you say and still 5-stars opponents and still get 80-90% back each time.

Theres so much missing from that statement that we cant make any meaningfull conclusions. Are u a cheater or paying customer that uses crowns to run 2x lvl30 generals, 5 tactics, full mercs, all blessings, air units every battle? Are u limiting ur attacks to the most pitiful base designs? Because my defense log is wall to wall defenses where people use all those things i just listed that a cheater would use every attack. And they still walk out with almost entire army dead if not fully destroyed and i dont even have maxed defenses, i try to remember not to leave my lvl1 and 5 generals activated because then i cant use them.

If they do and the isn't another fun option, it'll be the sound of wallets opening to play a different game and this will become ZombieNations with all the abandoned bases, then they'll have to buff them again to mop up excessive resources.

Why each time someone says he has some success you'r first instinct is to think he's a cheater or crows spender? As I said a lot of time in this forum my overall strategy is simple: i use units that stay close of each other so that they are constantly heals by the supply cart. for instance I don't use infantery. i use 4 cannons, 3 supply trains, 27 Musketeers and 6 cuirassiers. I also think i have the skill to use rally effectively. I use only the Protect spell and I use it for the tougher base. And for the very tough base I bring my mercecery squad which is 2 war éléphant, 1 cavalery, 1 hun warrior, and probably 1 level 9 general even though I prefer keeping the general to clean a base at the end. I stay in the 600-1000 medal range because this where I find the bases that suit my strategy. I have no shame attacking base 20 or 30 level below me if they have the loot I want (100k of each is the minimum). Since I aim for the loot and the 4-5 stars, I think the critical skill in my game is to choose the base I raid correctly. I don't attack based on a base design alone, a loot amount alone or an opponent level alone but a combination of that. Each base I see I make a mental calculation of the risk/reward ratio and decide to attack/skip based on that. I don't fear attacking a well designed base of someone at par with or above my level if he has 300k / 300k. Then before I release my troop I make a rough battle plan (i will first destroy this, then circle there, rally on this mortar, drop mercernary here to flank the redoubt...). I have to do it in 25s and I do it well. While I think this how a strategy game should be played, I think this is not what the majority of the players are doing. Under training blessing I loot roughly 1M gold / 1M food in 30 min. It's not super high but enough for me to enjoy the game and still progress and still live a real life.

2m gold an hour isn't bad at all. I had up to 4m with british before IA release, but then it dropped to 2m, indeed. Now, I am doing in around 3m with raiders and no stress and no buffs at all, but my combats are more boring in comparison to when I played british looking for 5-starring. I just think it'd be healthier for the game balance vice verse and not through raiders nerfs, but may be better bonuses for 4-5 star.
