HOLY MOLY SH...... GOD. What a COMPLETE and UTTER GARBAGE layout....Man. If I paid people to design a bad battle UI that would be it!! Who the F uses wonder tactics first? Why is troops sandwitched in between tactics?? OMG

1. Wonder are used in war mostly so best kept extreme right.
2. Tactics should be moved middle screen.
3. Normal barrack/factory troops left side.

God who pays these idiots to come with bullcrap like that???? Did they even playtest this thing. One misclick and boom...You are out of blitz/sotg/satellite. Good work Newbon. You really outdid yourselves there

Have to agree with all, this is garbage. I have a question, all the time that went into changing the layout to something no one wanted, had it not been better to put all that time and effort into writing an algorithm that once and for all took care of those cheaters with everything upgrading?

The variable that appears to have been forgotten here in this redesign is the limited nature of these troops/actions.

Wonder tactics are limited to 1 use per day. TTs are limited based on availability or cash.

​​it feels like this was not taken into account when ordering, i.e. someone used to playing in "God mode" rather than what it's like to actually play day after day with optimal attacks for war and reduced attacks for MP to grind resources and NTGs.

for me I'm going all out for 2 war attacks every 2+ days, but need to grind 54 NTGs to do so, meaning roughly 18 attacks in between where I am not using TTs or Wonder tactics. So these tray items are now dominating when only used for roughly 10% of my attacks (at best).

I admit that not everyone plays the game this way, but as you play deeper into the game you are more likely to. You also gain more tray items and the impact is more significant of these changes.

For me it would be the best if everything I use in the early battle is on the right side and everything I use in the late battle is on the left.
Unfortunately this changes from base to base, from troop combo to troop combo. The is no fixed order which would always satisfy.
What we need is, as others that before a customisable order.

It is a good idea to fill your troop tactic slots with some trash clean up TTs even for multiplayer, some worthy loot bases might occasionally be a good time use those up (for example, an EA/IA troop tactic for a CWA player), for example if you're missing a couple of buildings for a 5* victory.

But with this terrible tray layout it is a far better idea to keep it empty. I would even not pick up Blitz before war, if it wasn't for the fact that you -need- to pick it up in order to have 2 ready for WW attacks (resetting 23hr timer)...

It is not just the troop tactics problem.
This is just a very very bad design.
In WW, I have to swipe to the very right to choose war tactics and swipe back to the left to deploy the planes all the time now.
And I dont have very complicated combinations, but I still feel that there are too much unnecessary swiping have to be done after this update.

Makes sense Kratos (though if it's the reason we shouldn't feel bad for dropping them by mistake, they're not premium cards right). It just suits me, new tray, cause I always empty my SH, I want my tray as small and as clean as possible in mp. I'm a troop card hoarder but I never bring tts to mp. Maybe just a few times, forgetting to unload them 🤷

I also try not to collect wonder during/beginning of war. Just need to plan it carefully. Too careful I always forget to collect (and use) them 🤭

The new troop tray is garbage! The reorganization makes the deployment of troops very difficult. Everyone of our alliance hates the new update.

When I play on iPad, my left thumb rests right next to rally button, this is where I had planes before, so I could switch to planes without even looking at screen. If I bring alliance troops, troop cards or wonder tactics in pvp, my thumb is not over planes anymore. I have to move my hand, flex my thumb and look for planes. This is just putting extra strain on my joints. Usability and accessibility failure.

Someone in comments mentioned losing ability to use two hands, so you crippled that person's ability to play, and I wouldn't be surprised to see people suffering injuries to their hands because of that new change.

Please have your developers and designers get familiar with section 508 of US GSA. More info here: https://section508.gov/
Current troop tray discriminates against people with disabilities and threatens others into disability too.

Please just bring it back.. hopefully after all these posts will make you understand we do not like the new update. Nice try but this one didn’t work out.

Make the game more interesting for the new player ex. Updates for every age.. etc. If you want more revenue focus on that. Not out of nowhere messing up the way we attack.
