Poll museum : hidden contents or not (during WW)

[Spaceboy]

Well, as BHG seems to be interested to get our opinion (first time I see this since 2015), let's do a poll around displaying the contents of strongholds during wordwar.

For displaying the number of TT in a stronghold.

Honestly does it really matter if you know what’s in there if you have no realistic way of dealing with them? I always assumed full ea or armored cars or 130 foot soldiers. Before use decoy after you have cleared a path for planes then destroy. Now..........just die the decoy is useless and it takes half a battle to clear plane path. The problem isn’t knowing what’s in there it is killing what’s in there before it kills your troops.

i also think it really doesnt matter.
imagine this:
prepare yourself for 4 TT. but it turns out there were only 3 in there. yay! what happens? you die anyway.

I don't think that they should be displayed. Some things have to be hidden, thus surprising the attacker. Don't let it go. Besides, if the enemy's SH units are hidden, yours are, too

stronghold is not the major problem, but the secret researches in university and library. All this can hide 30% extra strength. But knowing that a low level base has troops hidden in the SH, is important to know when assigning an attacker to that base. You will have to assign a more advanced player to kill the SH troops.

The same goes for the city that can contain 3-4 ugly canons...

And traps and museum bonus' are not enough of a surprise?

The Museum Artifacts nor the Stronghold contents should be displayed. The unknowns add excitement and an element of discovery to the process. It would be boring if you knew everything before a battle. My advise to my mates is to have a contingency plan for countering changes in the battle, troops pouring out of a Stronghold, or troops pouring out of a City Center. I really love the rebalance also, as it makes the battles more realistic and challenging.

Why all the naysayers?
You all get a 2nd chance to do it right!
