Rename it to "Raidnations"

[Carsten]

I am in EA now and the first day i was attacked overnight 10 times. I lose a million food and got no peace treaty, because i was 95% attacked by these annoying raiders who doesn´t destroy the TC. The next day i was sometimes attacked every 5-10 minutes. I tried to avoid the raider-attacks with some changing in the defense. Useless. These guys are way too fast! Mills and Markets are gone within nanoseconds!
Thanks, next please.
Oh, no flying horses this time. We host a motorcycle gang which smashes all(!) markets and mills before the defense starts to react.

What is this shit? My last peace treaty for a complete destroyed base with a REAL army in a REAL battle, is months ago. My last peace treaty was a accident, because some bored raiders destroyed my TC too.

I don´t wanna play this game with 30 raiders only. Playing this game like that, is the second place on the boring scale after pure farming.
Yes, i can go for medals. But why should i risk my entire army for 100k food and fun, if a handful of raiders steals 100k food from myself?

Nerf the raiders!

1.What is your wall status?
2.What is your lay out?
3.What is your medal range?
4.Is your TC exposed?

 

[Ravenlord]

Nerf the raiders!

Shut ... up ... !!!

Up your medals and dont become a baby noob

expose your tc outside your walls and defend your resources....then there is no point in raiding, you will get tc snipers for 2 stars...

And a occasional "real" army as you want....

 

[Carsten]

1. Level 9 almost 99%.

2. All mills and markets are protected by a cannon etc. and almost all cannons are protected by each other. TC is in the middle inside walls. 4 of 6 of the mills and markets are inside extra walls. I spread them around the base.

3. I went back to 600 because my army is still in GP style. Going for 1000 now.

4. No.

I think i put the TC outside and protect all mills and markets by any wall i have! Looks ugly, but i hope it works.

 

[atramar]

3. yeah, go 1200-1400, usualy riders sniping TC there, leaving resources safe. see 4.
4. put it outside, it will give you more walls for your resources too.

that's my range and my strategy for farming at the moment. Went under 800 for a day and noticed 3-4 attack per day with no peace treaty, they didn't get much though and my walls are weaker then yours, but still. moment I've hit 1100 again, TC snipers came like kids during Christmas sale.

With coming 'soon (tm)' raiders training nerf, those attacks will be less frequent.

 

[Parmenion]

Perhaps post your current base layout. There may be things that can be done to limit how much is stolen. Your walls are strong so I imagine adjusting a few things here and there will help.

 

[maggiepie]

I agree with atramar, and some others- your medal range and tc seem to be an issue. Even around 900 medal range the attacks are less frequent, and exposed tc should get you a pt pretty consistently. Then keep mills/markets behind walls.

As mentioned, raiders are being nerfed (by time), and their AI was already monkeyed with. I don't have any issues with raider spam and I'm also in EA, most lvl7, some lvl8 walls. I keep a lot of rss on hand all the time as well and raider spam can never get it all.

Oh, and great job on the walls! Good luck

 

[Carsten]

I deleted it and built a complete new one. GP/EA-raiders can now loot max. one mill and one market. To loot more is tricky and to loot all is almost impossible! Well, IA gangs will make them all. I need more level 9 walls!! ;-)

 

[Carsten]

Yeah, maybe i have to stay and play longer in EA to check out what´s going on there. GP over the last weeks was too easy with a wall level 9 defense. So i was astonished in EA about the many many raids in only 1,5 days. I never lost one million food in such a short time. New age, new rules it seems. Anyway, pure raider attacks are still annoying.

 

[Parmenion]

Yes, the extra wall HP definitely helps. I worked hard on completing my level 9 walls today (raided 11m gold) and am pleased it's done. I have a screenshot of my current layout in a thread in the general discussion board if you're interested in seeing how I have done my base. I try and use all elements to slow down invaders as much as possible. Certainly placing caltrops inside chambers makes a big difference. The enemy get taken out before they can progress to another chamber. When I advance to the IA I plan to choose the Kremlin wonder to make the most of the HP boost on walls.

Lol, yes, spam can get annoying, especially when you're losing so much. But hang in there! Have you upgraded your temple for the training blessing yet? That's the #1 EA upgrade- will help you raid so much better to make up any losses. Hopefully your new base configuration helps as well- I feel mine does an excellent job (and my walls aren't as good as yours). You just gotta get into a bit of a groove, and the frustration should subside

 

[Eddie F1]

I love raider attacks on me - they snipe the TC then try for a bit of loot <1000 usually and leave me with a cheap PT for 8 hours.

Kitchen sink attacks to 5* me I don't like seeing.

Now you are EA with longer/more expensive upgrade times, you'll switch to raiders sooner or later (whether footies or riders doesn't matter), basically spam a single troop unit to get the job done.

 

[Carsten]

Ok, i am finally arrived in EA. Complete new base layout works so far. I could reduce the nonstop raids from 20/day to 2-3/day and with the TC outside, i get PT and raiders get almost nothing!

And the level 9 walls doing a great defense job, btw.!

No temple upgrade yet, i like the current Storm and Siege Event. Soldiers retrained in 7 seconds and i like soldiers!
And i must upgrade the EA-library first, because prices will rise with the next game update!

 

[maggiepie]

Focus on the TB first, it will very significantly reduce your training times and allow you to raid much faster so you can get all those library upgrades super quick

Really glad to hear things are going better for you now though! That's awesome news!!! Glad you stuck it out

 

[Funks]

Nah OP is right, though there is a bonus play on atm (ends 22nd Oct) .. Ive noticed Im getting attacked a shitload more as well. Its near on impossible to save any decent gold. Donated troops sit in your TC so when youre attacked they will come out to help defend therefore you lose some or all of them to add to the annoyance of it all.

The current storm and siege event does not apply to raiders, so there is no correlation between that particular event and any raider spam you may be experiencing. But also, if you'll notice, Carsten (the op), has changed his base layout and has seen a reduction in attacks on him, which are now less successful and give him more PTs. If you are also suffering from too much resourses loss due to spam, many of the points in this thread may also help you. Best of luck
