Need suggestion of defending British attack

[leoelephant]

Buff mortar does not mean no rifleman. It only means more skill is needed to distract mortar fire power or mute them precisely in the battle. Imo it is a valid proposal and Brits still keeps their unique power

 

[Cielmers]

Brit is strong because of his unique unit just like greeks used to be. If they unit become not too useful anymore than what can we hope from brit. If you jealous of brit's unique unit than switch to brit. This is why Dominations have nations to pick because of each nation have it own advantages that make them different from other nation.

I say let the Brits have their fun 5 starring bases. Its not that Brits can just drop all their shooters and expect to get 5 stars. If I get 5 starred by a Brit I fine with that cause I get a long pt and the loot lost can be gained back in a couple of raids. I rather be hit by 1 Brit daily and than a couple of people who 1 or 2 star me. Think of the cost of rearming my traps and requesting ally troops. Think of the of fun you have 5 starring bases. You do not want a base to be too strong where you have to rebuild an army after every raid. If I want to have fun with a better chance of 5 starring bases, only cost me 1000 crown. I have change wonders and nations a couple of times and still have crowns to spare. But for now I am happy play being French, I can pack more game play in a single session. I actually get excited when I get 5 starred finding out how they did it.

And the s e x change ..

I am not bothered about candy. Just fed up with so many players crying over a nation's unique units.

I would like my army to have the extra 10% of the Romans. The impressive gate and reduced training time, plus tank strength of the French. The stronger power of the Korean shooters and artillery. Plus the quicker shooting of the Chinese. The German rally. Etc .. etc ... all rolled into one. But I can not have it all.

So .. take it or leave the game. Just everyone stop asking for reductions on units.

I am getting attacked by British nation every day (some days 2 times in a day) and usually they get 5 star by an army of archers and cannon/artillery. the mortars can be disabled by tactics and the rest of defense buildings do almost nothing against them due to +1 range. also they get +15% more than my usual available loot. I need to do 2 attacks to gain what I have lost to a British. I believe the DPS of British archers needs nerfing. Chinese archers do 2x faster but their DPS is 60% of normal archers. it should be applied to British too.

 

[Yellowmar]

Oh no how did we get to this path again? 5 starring is good. Domination not protect your nation. Let not nerf every 5 star strategy left in the game.

 

[Ravenlord]

People could try a couple of mortars close to each other but not so close that 1 sabotage disables them or you could try traps in ''killing zones'' (obvious targets). These are the things that usually get my Brits.

But really - are people that naive to expect that they will never be 5starred?!! Regardless of who is doing it to you, we've all been on the receiving end. As Martine said, stop being childish - accept it and move on.

And learn from it.

"mortar in the outer wall block, but not at the edge"

That way the British can just rally rush the mortar. Even they are at the edge, they will be distracted by enemy cavalry. The best moment to kill them is just after they broke the wall, they can be pounding by 2 or more mortars. After viewing hundred replay, my base layout design for this: killing enemy when they broke the wall, with multiple mortars, waves of heavy defenders and more.. All at the same time so their heal carts cannot help.
You can copy my base and see.

 

[Quang t legend]

you just copy my base layout and the 5 star will gone most of the time!

 

[FroggyKilla]

Can't tell if you mean killing them on defense or removing them period.

 

[FroggyKilla]

Oh Jesus Christ don't buff Mortar the God-like killer of all that is Assault Infantry.

Well Said!

Thank you for calling me a child, I really have no problem with that. but let me explain why I believe in nerfing. In this game we have 8 nations and this is the key concept which make this game interesting. if one of this nations is overpowered, gradually more people will revolution to that nation and this will destroy the joy of game. This is what happened to British. A couple of month ago I was attacked by every nation but in the last month 70% of attacks to my base was by British! it shows that the number of British players are growing too much!. I have no problem with being looted by other players this the core concept of this game but all nations must be almost balanced. there are 8 nations and if all nations are balanced, each nation should take about 12.5% of players more or less. The exact count of players of each nation is only known for developers and they can judge this.

 

[Ravenlord]

How about calling for buffs for other nations rather than nerfing the Brits ??! Or is that too alien a concept?

 

[Cielmers]

My French account also able to 5 starred IA bases some of them have max wall. With British 5 starred any bases will be easier but British will need more times than French to training it troops. Also British rally cooldown is longer than germans. British also carry less tactics and merc than Chinese anf Korean. But this why we have 8 nations. The only nations that need buff are Greeks and Japanese. If we want all the nation to be the same then what is the fun of this game.

 

[Quang t legend]

I also confirm the Brit is overpowered but let the others to decide if they need a nerf! I suspect the British (and the Korean) is growing fast in the high league, but still minority at a whole. The French is still the best country for who are willing to do the hard work!

And yeah my Fish base layout designed to resist artillery, and happens to be good against the British too. Just copy it if you have serious problems with them!

 

[FroggyKilla]

Agreed because quick victory is the most ulcer-inducing star to get for me.

This. 80% or more of my losses come from British or French players. The French players are usually just TC tank rushes that net 2 stars, but the British attacks are always the ones that 4-5 star me. I don't mind that I'm being attacked or 5 starred, but when its always from the same nation it starts to raise my eyebrows.

People can defend it all they want, but the British unique unit definitely needs to be looked at. The +1 range is godly and puts this unique unit in a class all its own, way above anything any other nation has access to. The change doesn't necessarily need to be a "nerf", but possibly replacing the +1 range with some other trait that doesn't completely change the mechanics of the game (extra damage, fire rate, etc like Koreans and Chinese have).

 

[Mr Suplex]

No one is calling for all the nations to be the same, but there IS growing concern that the British unique unit is problematic since its +1 range completely changes the mechanics of the game. It is the only unique unit that changes game mechanics (all other uniques just have buffed damage/HP, which makes them tougher and stronger, but not fundamentally different in any way), since it alters the way defense behaves against it, which is the definition of a game changer, and often what leads to something being overpowered and in need of being toned down or changed.
