Need suggestion of defending British attack

[leoelephant]

I really can not figure out a way to defend Brits, typical their troops combo contains 70+ archers, 4 healers and 4 artillery, plus bplane to help mute mortar before archers attack reaching it.

Is it possible to defend?

 

[Yellowmar]

I am still trying to figure out myself. They are the only bunch that 5 star me consistently. Buzz me if you ever find a solution.

bunkers will help and antiaircraft

I still haven't figured this out yet either. According to my friends who play British, good good wall networks can give them trouble, but it doesn't seem to be enough. The +1 range on their troop is a complete game changer and renders most defensive structures obsolete. What can even harm their riflemen other than mortars?

The more I play the more I think British are a bit overpowered because of that +1 range. Its just too good.

How are they overpowered ? They have only one unit that has " super " power and you want to have it reduced. But the French get a much bigger gate for donated troops, reduced training time and superior tanks ... but thats ok with you.

Try a different base design but stop with the whining about one nation having some sort of benefit.

 

[Bla Bla]

It's not the British, it's the canons. Nexon sold them for cash so they are overpowered. Get rid of them, and British are no longer advantaged.

I have succeeded to limit British attacks to mostly 2-3 stars. Join us a short time to get the free training, or check my base (not all tips visible in the base!)

Haha, Martine is worrying his candy is going to melt down because of big bad wolf mr suplex

Yah, I agree good wall quality is the most important key to resist Brits. But I do not have good wall as lack of money for these expensive and large quantity crap. I just changed my layout to put a pair of mortar together, at two sides of my outer walls(still inside wall block), instead of previously put four separately on four corners. I bet on two shells together can kill the rifleman so healer has no chance to keep them alive

Yeah, mortar/catapult should not put near the edge, they will easy rush it. Put them near the center. Sometimes my enemy get pounding from 3 mortars!

Because this kind of post they nerfed the Greeks.

 

[Yellowmar]

If they just bring their British archers I usually get 2-3 stars. Its when they bring the whole party eg, 20+ lvl generals, 5 tactics, zepps and biplanes I usually pull up the white flag.

 

[leoelephant]

Oh ok. But honestly I really just want to learn how to counter them. I do not think they are op to the level that need to be nerfed.

 

[leoelephant]

I put mortar in the outer wall block, but not at the edge, there is another tank gun or antiaircraft between it and wall.
Do you mean you put them in inner wall block? I am concerning if put them too much to center, they will join defending too late only after enemy break through the outer wall block

 

[Cielmers]

If I not forget a post "how to defense against all HC and elephant raid" that made NEXON to nerfed the HC and kill the greeks.

 

[Martine]

Who is Martin ?

 

[Motaz Tarek]

no way to stop them, they become the best nation special unit after industrial age cuz the only defensive structure that can counter them (mortars) can now be handeled by zepplins, of course u can try to protect mortars by anti air guns but a single sabotage > send the zepplin > now ur done, the only way they become nerfed is that increase redoubts detection range to match its firing range, but i guess nexon devs wont figure this out and will just go with nerfing all shooters dmg aganist buildings so they r basically made to kill defenders or, they will just leave them as overpowered as they r

 

[leoelephant]

Haha, sorry for typo

 

[leoelephant]

I am against nerfing Brits, it is a challenge but a good one.
How about buff the mortar? Give it a upgrade so its range increase one, or through research
It will make mortar location more flexible and counter spamming archers

 

[Cielmers]

Then nerf the france because they can train faster than any nation. Nerf the Chinese because they have more citizens and merch. Nerf the korean because they have more tactics. Nerf the Romans because they have more troops space. If brit got nerf for this argument then nerf all the nations to be same as other nation. Also if they buff the mortar who gonna use riffleman anymore. Then we will back on the motorcycle era. Please no more nefr.
