TinSoldier, please I need your help with this.
This post is really aimed at the game developers/programmers, but anyone could post their opinions if they want. However, I would really like to see some objective hard stats from the game programmers/devs on which troops are least used/popular in the game and, if possible, a break down of troop types used by age.
Why? Because I think it would be great to see more variety of troops types used in war and MP battles. Subjectively speaking, it seems to me that many of the more experienced or older players (Cold War to Space Age) are using a "meta" set of troops types: Bazookas, Heavy Tanks, Commandos, Fighters, etc.
A few years ago, when the game was newer, it seems the troop types used were more diverse. Now, with all the changes made in the gameplay, that is no longer the case. Atomic Age and higher players who want to be competitive in battle are hardly even using barracks troops anymore. Battles are almost looking like the same replay over and over. What is the incentive for some players to keep the unused troops up-to-date?
Take Commando/Saboteur, for example, players hardly (if ever) use to battle with them until their stats were boosted significantly and now they have become the "go-to" troop for many players. Wouldn't it be nice if all of the troops were equally "go-to" troops?
Also once the hard stats of least popular troops are compiled, would it be possible to have a week-long event where these troops are buffed/boosted 100 to 200% to see how it affects the gameplay? If the effect is positive, then the troops can retain their boosted stats so we can see more diversity in troops use.
TL;DR
1. Can we please get some hard stats on the least popular troops?
2. Also, a week-long event where the least popular troops are buffed?
3. Can we please keep them buffed, so we can see more variety in gameplay?
