Not sure what they did to rally with this update but it's now really messed up. I never experience a problem with it until this update. I had my wall miner punch a hole in a wall, where I deployed my cavalry. As soon as my cavalry was going in through the hole I hit rally on to a ballista tower on the other side. My troops then ran back outside and started attacking the wall instead of just attacking the ballista. They literally made a second opening right next to the one which was already made! Foot soldiers are also clumping together very very tight instead of spreading like they used to. And taking very weird routes to targets. Over all the update really screwed up how troops attack. I wish I could add video of it but all I could do was add pic's.

I have so many others. I hit a rally on a tower right next to a group of soldiers and instead of just turning around they made a sharp left and ran around a castle, only to come back and attack the tower. They're acting bizarre.

Why these people think they need to make attacking more difficult??

The whole game is based around you looting to upgrade and research. And the more you play the more and more you need to loot. If I start losing tons of troops after an attack, I'm not going to bother waiting to retrain just to attack again so I can get another 3-5% of what I need for the next upgrade.

No one has a problem with being attacked and raided too easily? Seriously do any of you guys give a shit? I don't, there'll always be someone stronger than you who'll wipe you out. It really makes no difference to me, it's supposed to happen. I do it to another 100 players every day.

I have to agree. Why are they hell bent on making this part of the game unplayable. I'm in it to kill time and progress, but if it continues to become more difficult then I'll look for another game

I will only buy crowns if it means I can play the game more in a short period, and I will NEVER EVER spend crowns just to complete 1 army... give us barrack tactic times boosts so we can play more in a shorter period

I can't believe Nexon.
They already have a huge huge backlog of bugs, cheats hacks to overcome.
And instead they put out this update which has even MORE bugs.

That tells you a lot about where their priorities are.
(They want new game content to rope in more players but don't keep the existing ones happy).

I think your right bhoywonder. The game has virtually become unplayable. The AI is worse than ever. I'm having near 100% losses on bases that would normally be 100% wins with very few casualties. Attacked a base 20 levels below mines with a standard design I've annihilated 100's of times and lost near 70% of my troops. Troops are simply not attacking structures at all, and Instead chasing enemy defensive troops around. They are ignoring rally's to attack cavalry and when they do rally, thier I.Q. Points drop 2 fold and start attacking walls.

1)The rally function now makes the troops really stupid. Even worse than before.

2) Troops AI is worse than before even without rally. They would attack the closest wall even though there is an open space or building next to them. WTF.



BHG, do you guys do any extensive QA before you release new patch or update? So frustrating that the best part of the game (raiding) is now ruined and unbearable due to poor quality.

Combat tactics is destroyed completely. The only way is to wait for battle tactics recovery and using OP blessings leaving the game after each battle. It's not a gameplay we liked, it's not about combat tactics now too. Another poor effort showing how broken their approach is.

Using that battle tactic is the only way to have some troops survive. But it's still a pain being able to attack one every 13 min because you lose so many troops.

This is what must be their number one priority !

They should IMMEDIATELY release a new update with the old A.I until they fix the new one and release it again.

The old A.I is much better than this one ! I can't believe that they reviewed the A.I before the release ! It's simply DUMB !

Archers, infantry, cavalry, ALL UNITS now have a messed up A.I ! It's ruining the game !

It looks like they're using the last content already made before the final shut down. Otherwise, I see no reason for them to deliver this unbalanced and broken update instead of fixing critical bugs.

There's no possible way some one actually play tested this before the update was released. It would have been clear to anyone who actually plays that the new AI is seriously broken. My whole alliance is at a near standstill with this update.

Had a guy over 50 levels above me who only 2 starred my base with maxed out troops, alliance gate troops and mercs. He should have taken me to the cleaners and instead lost his entire army. That should be a clear sign things are seriously messed up.
