Nerf the British?

[Hammer]

First off cards on the table, I play as the British, that said...

I see a lot of calls on the forum to downgrade the Brits ranged infantry, now for me this is not a sensible solution to the perceived problems.

This would only achieve one thing, make all the nations more similar.

Now this may mean more players choosing to play as different nations, thus increasing the availability of different national trade goods. Which is one issue.

However the other issue, one I think is more important to the majority of players is the limited game play having one perceived over powerful nation causes. This perception causes the majority of attacks to follow the same format and therefore the majority of defences to be set up to counter this. Making all the nations more alike would if anything decrease the diversity even more.

What needs to be done, in my opinion is buff the other nations bonuses, give more options, not less. Make other strategies for attackers appealing. This will freshen up the game. Let's not make all nations the same, make them truly different with increased power to thier various unique units. This would attract players and increase the range of nations played and hence trade goods avaliable.

Yes, buff the other nations. Or buff defenses to make British less effective. "That's the same as nerfing British" you say. Not exactly; in an arms race, nobodies abilities get worse, but rather your opponents abilities get better. So, for example, a research that increases the range of towers and redoubts is more realistic. I thought the nerf of sabotage, betrayal and protect was the wrong approach. There should have been research to counter them, such as a blessing or coalition ability that cut their effectiveness in half.

I m against the nerfing British. Other nations need a buff.

One thing I've noticed is that any tank comps are usually a lot slower. As a French player, I've found myself close to timing out on some raids because tanks take forever to break walls. They need to also buff other units slightly. Some were suggesting that that cannons and artillery should be the only ones to shoot over walls, I mean if rangers can, why can't tanks? Not to mention Napoleon has a range of 5 but I find him shooting at a wall instead of over it. They need to really define what should and should not be able to shoot over walls. This is what deters people from running tank comps. I feel if tanks could shoot over walls OR they only allowed artillerys and mortars to shoot over walls, it would allow for nations with Tank units to be somewhat more viable. Maybe even buff the damage tanks do to walls? I mean it's a tank after all.

More like buff heavy infantry and other underused troops as well as other nations. Current meta of lots of archers +tanks,cannons,heals should still be available strategy and not be replaced by something else. Its much better to have 3 different strategies being available than having only one strategy.

 

[Penambangliar]

Vote for single nation. Lol

 

[Bigbrother]

Other nation need a buff. Since they fix balance on tatics, we need to buff greek, japanese and korean.

 

[SiuYin]

We can do nerf British and buff other nation in same time

 

[Swięty]

Apc will get an upgrade available soon, it will slighty help to balance other nations army composition.

 

[Swięty]

I will start to nerf british with -5% or -10% dps to see if it still as easy to spam british shooter like it is right now.

 

[Omegaman]

If Redoubts did actually fire at range 7 as they are supposed to British range would be less of an issue

 

[Motaz Tarek]

u can't convince nexon to buff other nations if they still precieve offense as more powerful than defense, they would rather prefer to nerf offensive capabilities
however this nerf has been going over the years since the game launched, cavalry & infantry were once the most used but now they are the least used cuz of that nerf, the reason why shooters and howitzers dominate is that they haven't been touched since the game was released, and as a matter of fact, all nations have the same howitzers, so a reasonable choice for players is to go to the nation having the most powerful shooters, which is British
i really don't think they give the same effort to making a better gameplay as they give to making more profit so i think they dropped nation balance from their calculations for good

There is a ton of nation diversity for those of us in the bottom 99%, but I know this forum tends to have a narrow focus to the top players/alliances.

As soon as i can, im going to british, and others will as well. You get diversity at the lower ages because most in those ages dont realize how much better british are.

Long time ago, me and 5 of my player friends, switched to british for their shooters only. Let's say they will nerf the brits, Will we all be compensated 1000 crowns we spent for nothing? Then what? Nerf the french tanks too? Koreean shooters? What else?
Hell let's nerf the estate! Make it give only one extra worker! Who cares if people paid 50 bucks for 3 workers, not one?

Stop giving them ideas

 

[Manifesto]

Stop calling for NERFS!
But if we have to have a nerf, instead of nerfing the shooters' ability, Nexon shouldn't allow spamming.
If archers are nerfed then people will switch to spamming artillery, then if they're nerfed, which they would be, people will probably switch to HTs, then they'll be nerfed and people will switch to other things, etc, etc.
Stop calling for nerfs, call for other buffs instead!

 

[umpirerob]

I suggested this a while back and I'm British, but their ability to shoot over walls is silly.

 

[Krieg]

I agree. Nation choice is one important part of the game strategy. And this is a strategy game! So, instead of complaining, use the game options to make the choices that better suits you strategy.

Either nerf the Brits or adjust other nations to equal playing ground as the Brits. Seriously, its just so stupid how Brits farm so effectively. Everyday another Brit attacks me for 100%. I watch the reply and its like all my defenses are worthless. Take out my mortars and then walk away from Dominations because its all auto-win from here. I thought about switching to Brit but I dont want to follow the cheese meta. Its so tempting cause the ease and effectiveness.
