So what is your new tactics strategy with the New Update?

[snowleopard]

I know a lot of people are not liking the new impact on the war academy. This is quite a bold decision by Nexon and I believe it can backfire them. However, the update is here and we have to live with that.Therefore, I am thinking what are the best combinations of tactics in every age to get the most stars from the opponents. For me, I am in the global age and my first aid, barrage, decoy are level 1. I am considering to upgrade the decoy since I think I'll need decoy in near future.
I know this question might be a bit early but what are the tactics combinations do you think will work for your age and nation?

Mine is to opt out of war.

Go Figure!!!

Maybe more practice with decoys, so 1 sabo 1 protect and 2 decoys. But i also have blitz and SOTG too.
I suspect B-Gate will be the definite must for IA wonder now!

I'm quitting wars due to this update. I'll continue to play for a while see what's panning. What i would like to know how useless did this update randered the mk tanks combo

 

[Deathspeed]

3 sab and 1 decoy

 

[Arya_Dominations]

On my main account i will go with 8 demolitions.

On my gunpowder accounts.... still scratching my head.

Barrage. Pair in with the mongol coalition. What I use now even before the update.

 

[British Coffee]

Attack bad bases without any tactics with normal army for diamonds and medalling,spam raiders for resources and medal drops. No more WW
Maybe I'll attack OK ish base with one protection and decoys for oil but most times, Raiders + Wall miners for oil instead of actual decent attack

 

[chris.dominations]

Parks, what level are you and how well is that combo working for you?

 

[chris.dominations]

I'm Global Age Korean. Before the update I'd use 1 Protect, 6 Betrayal along with SOG and Blitzkrieg. After the update I'd be limited to 1 Protect and 3 betrayal. Since I used betrayal to capture all of the tanks I'm thinking adding in a decoy might be a good option to make up for the lower number of betrayals. Since I won't be able to capture as many as before I think adding in a Decoy and possibly a Barrage might be good. Use the Decoy to pull out any tanks or arty, and hit em with planes. Then use the Barrage on anything that pops out of the Stronghold and hope it's enough to take em out, or at least weaken them significantly.

well cant afford the betrayal now. will have to also drop the decoy i was starting to get used to since its my belief even with blitzkrieg 1 sabotage alone wont make do (after al blitzkrieg is once a day and every 2 wars one will have to attack without it), will have to hone maneuverability of the troops even further to drop protection and make way for 3 sabotages. Finally try to make big enough ruckus for Nexonm to take some serious notice, and thats all i can do for my IA. as for my GA i can only crouch in fetal position while my head spins trying to figure it out

 

[Parks]

Chris, global max barrage for age and max mongol. 2 hits will destroy defensive buildings ( unless heavily leveled in university). You can generally get 3 to 4 buildings per 2. I time my planes to take out city center troops. Use barrage with all six tactics. Can wipe out half the defenses before I drop a troop.

 

[Gundolin]

I'm experimenting more with placement of Knights/Lancers trying to draw fire from fortified Mortars, and saving my sabotage for Town Centers and the Castles if I don't think I can destroy the generals.

(Edit - I am in the Enlightment age)

 

[nikki bella]

It will be hard to get oil from now on but farms and caravans will be easy enough for looting. Coalitions will become more scarce.

For war, I've been sitting on an undeveloped IA wonder for months, so that's gonna be finished before long. 5 spaces, I think 2 sab and one decoy. And a prayer that nexon will see sense before long.

 

[snowleopard]

How about 7 decoys in global age? How does that work?
