Generals and Bunkers in War

[Nathan Win]

I know these topics have been brought up before, but we never got any confirmation from the devs, at least, I didn't see it.

I want to confirm if we need to manually activate both generals before attack day in order to have 2 generals on defense or will researching the 2nd general research is enough?

Secondly, do we need to fill bunkers in order for them to be active in war or they refill automatically like traps?

It's impossible to know without war replay.

Thank you.

I thought only 1 general is aloud in WAR defense? And I have attacked dryed up bunkers in WAR that never released a heavy tank.

No Will, about Bunkers idk, can't say, but about generals, some bases really have the 2 defending.

There's a way to do it, but idk it, but it can be done.

Yes, 2 generals are allowed in war just like regular town defense. My alliance just trying to figure out how to always get 2 generals on defense. We have done the library research for the 2nd general.

I wonder this too, some bases have both generals come out and I have attacked bunkers that don't release heavys

Bunkers currently under construction will appear complete but are unlit in war, so look the same as dryed up bunkers. I scouted the enemy's normal base to find that out and in the war battle nothing came out.

Some clarification on generals and bunkers would be nice.

 

[Nathan Win]

Yup, I know the the bunker under construction doesn't have light on and, thus, not active. I wonder if those who don't refill their bunkers, will their bunkers be active.

From the official FAQ:

Your highest level General will automatically defend your base in World War (or two highest Generals if you have researched Leadership chapter 3 from the Library).

It seem a bit strange, I attack a lot of war bases and most of the time I see only 1 general, most people I assume put Leadership chapter 3 on their high priority list. Only occasionally I would see two generals on defense. Not that I am complaining about seeing 1 general.

You won't get an answer form devs because they don't know.

 

[Porcupine]

But anyway, library research is only required for 2 generals in wars. There's some bug making castle only spawn one general sometimes.

And yes you need to refill bunkers manually before war or else they won't spawn.
I attacked some empty bunkers and some bunkers who spawn 1 tanks and turned off, so yeah I'm sure about bunkers.

I double checked with QA on this and both generals will show up during War Day provided you research that Library tech before starting a World War. You also will not need to fill the bunkers.

Awesome, thanks for confirming. I appreciate your help

The bunkers that have oil are topped up in the wars. Just like the traps are reset. And defenders revived etc ..

So, add oil to get them cranked up. Only if you want them helping you out ... if not don't.

Do we need to refill the bunker after being attacked the first time in war?

 

[Nathan Win]

No, auto refill like alliance troops and traps

 

[Porcupine]

Yeah the information from CS is not accurate, there are many players who researched the tech and still got 1 general spawning. And we faught against too many empty bunkers in war, which aren't upgrading, and we had empty bunker in wars, which aren't upgrading too, suggest that bunkers needs to be refilled before war.

So either information from cs aren't accurate or its a bug.

I dont want to be rude, but its not true
Me and another member of my alliance has the chapter done and neither of us has 2 generals on castle/fort, so where is the trick?

 

[Nathan Win]

For your regular town defense , you have to manually activate 2. For war, you can't tell because there's a graphic glitch where where it only shows one general. How did you confirm you didn't have 2 generals ? There's no War replay now

If this is happening to you then please send in some screenshots to Support so they can escalate it to the dev team. That's definitely not the normal behavior!
