For war, any preference on what troop to donate to town center?

I suppose it doesn’t really make much of a difference especially going against a somewhat decent opponent but has anyone really tried anything other than howitzers/heavy arts/cannon type units? For the longest time (And more so because we were trying to conserve all oil but the costs have gone down) it was always those and I still donate it depending on the layout of that particular war base such as it being a closed off by walls. Because of the rebalance, I’ve been upgrading armored cars towards cwa. If anyone has tried the mrls (Again because of the new research and rebalance) strictly as a defender Id like to know if they work. It all of course also depends on a.i. which is all know is perfect.

Not taking oil cost into consideration for the second, Pro/con on armored cars is the speed, dmg though not aoe, and high hp. Con being shorted range. I have a gunpowder base and even going against one that’s has mrls or heavy arts (Scary as it may be to see them), they can be killed with 2-3 barrages whereas the armored requires all and that might not be enough so tip there if anyone wants to try.

People still do war in this game? I thought it's become Farmville, since raiding and warring is tedious and pointless now?

Viking Army 0TT - an army of men and not whiners war non-stop.

and we like to have different troops in the TC - depending on oponent and where in the map the TC is

Armored cars or Heavy tanks were the best choices before the rebalance. Now that plane damage has been doubled, and offensive heavy tank HPs haven't, HTs aren't as good. They die much easier than the standard defending heavy tanks, with their insane HP boost. ACs are still a decent choice.

Heavy RPGs are the new super defenders. Splash damage, speed, decent HP and tough against planes.Mixing those in with a couple ACs (better against infantry, more HP) is probably the best best. Maybe a HA in the mix as well, so that those defenders spread out and you can't handle them all with one strategy. Mixing it up a bit depending on available space keeps your opponents guessing, but I think the RPGs are the strongest base now.

I don't war anymore, or really play at all beyond an occasional free retrain attack. Just watching the game wind down at the moment.

War is only pointless when you lose

War is pointless when it has no challenge. We still go to war, but the thrill is gone. We still donate howitzers since people don’t have high level factories.

My alliance uses Howitzers, Armored cars, and Gatling guns. British shooters to top off (increased range). We are looking into bazooka, but none of us have it upgraded yet - never used it before the rebalance
