Knights are OP

Since the last update, every attack against me has been an army that is 90% knights. I never see balistas used, and now people have stopped bothering to bring many warriors or archers. Who can blame them when knights do more than enough damage on their own, there is no need to bring any other type of troop. The best part is, there is no defence for a swarm of knights. Two short range balista towers don't last long enough to do anything, even behind my max level walls. Knights are meant to absorb damage, not dish it out. A bunch of knights with no supporting troops should get stuck outside an upgraded wall, not melt through the wall in seconds. Knights are doing way too much damage. They are making other unit types obsolete.

Where to start... First you just need to properly wall off and upgrade your ballistas. I've never had a "Knights Tour" succeed at taking out more than two of my 6 base partitions, and many, many have tried. Of course proper walls and upgraded ballistas require medieval at a minimum, so in classical you are pretty much screwed -- just keep your medal count down until you get to Med.

Second, anyone who manages to clear out your base after getting your res is doing you a favor as you get 10-12 hours of treaty out of the deal, which is much better than someone with, say a swarm of legions or samurai getting the same res but only leaving you with 0-4 hours treaty (you can lose 400+% more res that way as you just get attacked far more often).

The balance is fine now, really. The cost of these units in pop and time to build justify the dps.

I think they fixed it for enlightement, because their last upgrade is super weak. I trust some experienced players that cannons are better there. For medieval and GP they are quite fine, caz we still need other units to take down your balista towers ;) also, there is castle and your own knights to help you deal with them.

if everything balance , the game will die, this world still runs around and we have nations because we are unbalance, everything are the same will interesting huh ?
what the F on earth if you guy want a Horseman just have attack damage same low as a footman ???? thât what you want ?
OK, you want balance so do the slot that horseman cost to 1, like a spikeman.
So i can have 100 Horseman in my team, now is 1 Horseman cost 6 slots ? that balance ?
If you want you can play Horseman too!

Good advice. Upgrade my walls and towers? Hmmm, my defences, including walls and technologies are 100% maxed for medieval age. Lower my medals? I'm already at 200. Partition my base? Already done. This morning, same thing, a group of knights cleared my whole base with no other troop to help until after all the defences were gone. Think about this, my knights do more than double the damage of my level 5 generals, which take 8 hours to recharge, compared to 3 minutes to make a knight. Knights are doing way too much damage plain and simple.

You are fully upgraded for Med, then you are not really be having any problems saving your res for upgrades? What's the issue again? The issue here is not the knights, its the generals -- the generals are under powered for sure. Make sure your ballista towers are within range of each other, you have nearby garrisons and traps to distract the attackers while the ballista towers make short work of them.

Don't worry, this too shall pass -- at the rate you are progressing you will soon be complaining about how OP cannon are and will have forgotten about knights. I hear the new gatling guns are going to be seriously OP. :)

Looks like you got your wish with today's update. 30% reduction to base damage, and 70% reduction in damage to resource buildings.

I see this in a different point of view.

Cavalry was weak before. Then they balanced the horses with samurais (these are OP!) and stuff. And now they are weak again.

Keep asking Developers to nerf a specific troop is the 'Ultimate Strategy' in playing this game as not much thinking is required.

Just simply layout a base and when someone uses a troop to steamroll the base - cry foul, post in forums, post in fb and force the developers to nerf it! Rinse-and-repeat! It is a guaranteed strategy to ensuring that we can login everyday and just tap on the caravans and farms to play this game for years.

now i know the facking person who crying like baby shitting tell the development team to nerf Kinght because of he is a ugly player.
If someone know this SHOWDANG place, tell me then i can kick his ass then kill him in the dark at the street corner!
What the fack on earth when you play not well then you cry all day to have all other UNIQUE unit of Greek, France... be weak like yours!
Do you know why we have NATIONs in this world ? just because every Nations have their own special, have they own that different. Now if you want all the Nation be the same, we all play one kind of Tribe ????
Fack you man! dont play online game anymore! of hide now because ìm sharpen my knife to give you a sweet shoot! i swear! because you break my favourite game! After a long time play all kind of game and boring at the end, i think i will quit playing Mobile game, but finally i found this Dominations, i think this will be my last game, but now it needs to change be "OneNation"...
Development team, as i said before, the players idea if it good, you guys can change, but with some bad ideas, you need to think enought before fixing it!
Some players cant play well? that not your prolems!
Take me as an example: When i first time play this game, full squad of Roman Legion come to attack my base, im defefeated, i feel its ok, because it is the game. Because of my level not hight enought, because im not good enought. So im agreed with that. No problem. Its fair because if i want to have full Squad of Roman Legion, i can play Roman too, it is so dammmm fair.
Same as when Chinese attacked me with Chokonu, Bristish attacked me with Longbow, all full squad! What do you guys think about my feeling??? Dear guys, i feel SO SO NORMAL! NO PROBLEM at all. BECAUSE THATS THE GAME, THAT IS THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE NATIONS.
ITS FAIR FOR ALL ! YOU WANT LIKE THEM YOU CAN PLAY THEM CHOICE TOO
SO, DONT CRY LIKE BABYSHITIING JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE FACKING PLAYER! FACK YOU

Rebuilding time for my armies, grew up from 6 mins in average to 9. That's sucks. My super 7 knights strike force does not work anymore. I had to change a lot, but still can't achieve performance I had even with bombards. Now knights are hitting the wall till the end of the battle near the catapult. Great balance?
