I am only taking time out of my day to write this because this game had/has some amazing potential. I am not trying to bash but to give some constructive criticism.
Yesterday's update pretty much made this game dead to me. I have put some good money into this game and have put up with virtually no support for months. I have been hoping that things would improve, but they have not. They continue to get worse. Here we have an update with more content which is great, but where are your priorities when there so many game ending bugs? I am listing issues I have with yesterday's update, hoping that something will change.
1. Heavy infantry. Not only are they more expensive, but the range was nerfed. I can only assume this occurred because people whined about Romans. Now they are just expensive cannon fodder. Maybe their damage should have been reduced a little. But this is now a game breaker.
2. Rally. I am not sure what thought process or testing was even put into this. It is not improved, but now causes troops to act like kamakazes. Rally used to be a great tool to steer troops into a general direction. Now if you use Rally and pick a location that is behind any type of building they completely ignore them and go straight to that point, your troops just get picked off. Before the change my troops at least fought their way to the way point. I guess rally is now regulated to a role of grouping your troops off to the side of the map.
3. Troop AI. Troops are now UNINTELLIGENT. I have yet to see any troops work together on a single wall. Troops have no sense of survival any longer. They do not take smarter routes as you stated.
Since the update I have been trying for hours to come up with new attack strategies. It is useless. I am now losing 3x's as many troops in almost all fights. I have been wiped out trying to attack players 30 levels below me.
My last attack which totally surprised me and led me to write this was a joke. I am level 115, the defender was level 80 and had all his walls stacked to the side of the map. I destroyed less than 50% of his buildings before all my troops were dead.
I don't want to have it easy, I also don't see any reason for the extreme change.
I always kept crowns in the past for troop building. I didn't mind spending 10 crowns or so to restore troops after each battle if I was on a run. But that has tripled now. I can not and will not spend crowns like that. So now I am regulated to waiting 15-45 minutes between attacks and getting resources stolen all day long.
If your thought process was to get people such as myself to spend more on crowns to keep fighting you've made a grave mistake. Now I complete one battle and shut off the game while my troops regenerate. This does not keep me interested in your game, it's boring.
