Having trouble to raider looting

[Averag3Joe]

Following up on dbukalski's comment: i also spam raiders and have been thinking exactly the same as him for a while. I have to say when you're looking for raiders attacking the closest thing - regardless of obstacles - you can see that's exactly what they do. They aim for the next closest thing regardless of obstacles.

That being said i have been wondering if they do make some kind of decision as to how to split the group when aiming for new targets. Sometimes it seems like half go for one thing and half for the other as if they have decided that "10 should be enough for that mill, the rest of the army can go this way...". But i have a feeling it's just one half of the army was closest to one thing, and the other half to another!

Ive seen same thing joe. I think its both targets are equal distance so they split in half

I use raiders to gain medala and they work perfectly every single time. I spam around 15 raiders+ 2-3 miners based on the wall with the protect bleasing and they do the job of getting me the quick victory by knocking off the town center. The rest of the Raiders are deployed for looting and I had battles were I won over 1200k resourceS (food+gold usually from cheater bases. I think cheater bases help the economy and not to mention premium resources like oil which is scare from honest players.)

No Title

Here is a good one. Being greeks and after the nerf the Raiders are the best troops I have if nexon nerf them. It will be a totalk loss for the game.

Well all this raiders hassle has a couple of results a) more players will use raiders b) there are more anti-raider bases already ))) My base was attacked very nicely by a player using footmen instead of raiders, but like raiders. He took all the food, but got no crystals, tho and it was the second attack, so no traps. The first raider dummy failed without giving me peace treaty, so learn people! )))

I am still expecting raiders nerf tho and then we'll talk to iron... )))

b) there are more anti-raider bases already

Exactly, current raiders are not overpowered, it's badly designed bases and playing strategy that make them appear that way.

Below ~800 medals, attacks are for one thing only - your resources, nobody wants your TC or a win even. If you are looting below 800 medals, expect to get looted back.

The best way to protect your resources is to climb above 1200 and leave your TC exposed, then 90% of attacks will just take the TC for the win and give you a 8 hour PT.

I totally agree. (Although I do stay below 800 medals, burn an entire base to the ground, and no one seeks vengeance- but I think I'm sick....)

 

[maggiepie]

I'm convinced of this as well

On a side note, anti raiders bases also defens well from HC/tanks spam, but they're weak against mass-archers combo which walk around and take your resources without breaking all these wall sections. So brits may enjoy this recent change
