For world war, it's fine. For multiplayer, defense is overpowered. The game economy depends on players reliably (and cheaply) getting 5-star victories. That's no longer possible with the missile silo. Again, for war, I love the silo, but it doesn't fit in with the multiplayer economy.

Agreed, although I am still able to raid resources from bases with a silo, if they are not protected. And I find that about half of silo bases got cocky, or lazy, about incorporating the silo in their layout and have easy mills and markets around the edges. They still protect their oil like crazy though lol. Re 5 star victories, I get those on the way up of my drop-climb cycle.

Tsamu - I would be one of those bases. Don't care about my food and gold to any significant degree, those resources fill up naturally while raiding for oil. I don't group them all together to make it easy, but I don't care about protecting them. My impression is that the vast majority are in basically the same boat - if you are trying to do serious offensive upgrades, especially anything to do with planes, you will get more than you know what to do with while collecting oil.

Difficult to fully answer this, as you can add 4 sets of additional troops through stronghold if you wanted.
Overall I put balanced but more variety in offence is required. Make commandos faster, better barrack air troops, enough to have a potential all air attack or similar. Heavy HP, low attack unit should be introduced now to help combat silo.

I think the question should stipulate for pvp or for War. I think defense is too OP for pvp.
I'm happy to be 4 or 5 starred by a high level AA player in pvp, if you can! ;)
However, The only people who can 5 star me are very high level British AA players using full tactics, 90+ archers, generals, planes, mercs and troop cards, or HTs with tactics, planes, generals, etc, etc.
I'm flattered but I feel for these people. They can't attack for another hour or so.
Where's the fun in that?

It is fine for resource raid, as you can always find base with lower age defense building.
But for war, it is very different, maxed base with elephant archers garrisoned and bazooka tower is barely unbeatable, unless you deploy elephant archers.

Now there is no strategy in war at all, what you can do is line up shooter and howie, tanks with TD and general, back up with 4 EA.

And also, I am actual fine with missile silo, but I encounter huge difficulty with "Hold the Gates", first wave in 2s, and each 13s there will be 8 tanks spawned.

well, if someone has put so much time in upgrading defenses in his bases, may be, just maybe his base is not meant to be 5 starred. This is as naive as saying, "I am in gunpowder age and i can't 5 star an atomic age base, game is so defense heavy!"

I think offense is still much stronger than defense, and its fine for me. This is only because you need much less time to max out your army then defensive buildings (without university upgrades for both of them) just compare how many days you need for upgrade your main army units and buildings, and how many days for upgrade all your defensive buildings, its like 1:3...
