Strategies of War! v5.3

Some of that stuff is only 22 hours with me. It's been a while, but it's possible to reduce that time with researches in the library.

Maybe Nb4powerup could clear this out ?

 

[Sir Pizzuoff]

The latest word is that it will be sometime next week. Is that correct, Nb4powerup?

Great news on the second armory slot been a bottleneck for a very long time. 1000 crowns is also a fair price to pay for it.

Nb4powerup
​​​​​​​First of all,

The Stronghold sounds like an attempt to not let someone deploy 6 extra armies during any attacks not a bad thing. Helps us that are good at attacking out by not letting some people just be able dump tons of extra armies. I'm a little worried though that the 8 different types of extra armies that are in my current lineup will be lost. I am pretty good at attacking and don't often use extra armies that I have gathered through events, alliance gifting, or the holiday giveaways. I know things can be quite buggy when first released. Am I going to lose the extra troop tactics that I currently have in my arsenal?

I only use those troops in wars if we come across a situation where it means we will lose a war if I don't use them. I'm level 161 global in the Alliance NorthernVikings, being the leader I always hold back my second attack for any base that I would need to beat. There is a definite disadvantage if I'm going to lose these troops and not be able to take out any base I need to.

Second war coalitions,

• Purchase offensive Coalitions any time, not just on Planning Day!
• Updated Coalition balance. Most Coalitions now give 5/10/15/20/25/30% bonuses (previously 15/17/19/21/23/25%)

Im unclear on this purchasing of offensive coalitions at anytime. I've already been doing this anyways. After a war is over I purchased two more offensive coalitions or three. They have always worked fine and show up on the war screen until this war. For some reason they aren't showing up now. At least when you hit my base. So this really doesn't seem to be anything new. Please explain better if you can what's new about this?

Because I am focused on offense, but at the same time weigh out how much I can play I have not ever upgraded coalitions since the very small increase in bonus didn't matching the huge increase in cost of national trade goods it cost to buy them. Now are all of my coalitions going to be cheaper at level 1 since the bonus amounts are going down? If not you are effectively making the coalitions even more expensive to buy, so then it would make sense you should increase chances of getting them and storage of them as well. We take a one day break in between every war already to help our members stock up national trade goods, and I've coached up the alliance to not upgrade these so we could all have more of them to help in wars. You didn't mention anything about cost changes. Can you please explain this some.

Thanks

Anybody looking for a great alliance check out NorthernVikings. Chris is the leader over 19k glory and climbing. 22 war winning streak all ages welcome for wars as well.

Guess this patch gets postponed indefinitely? As per no response

 

[JuDomines]

It means you will be able to add an off coa during the war day and it will apply for this current war.

 

[TomAwsm]

They never said when it would come out, but considering "coming soon" and "postponed indefinitely" have basically the same effect you can look at it however you want.

I have never experienced anyone, especially not game devs, answering the question of when "soon" is.

 

[Brand Marrow]

I am going to start sulking.... keep checking for update and not finding it.... getting very annoying....really want that 2nd blacksmith slot while airplanes are on sale! Appreciate Nexon checking things out before release but Nb4powerup can you give us some info? Is there a new expected release date? Is there a particular hold up? Did they run out of brain empowering donuts?

 

[Sir Pizzuoff]

It could be as early as Tuesday, but not before then.

 

[Quovatis]

Release not likely until at least 2/21

 

[kal-el]

How do you know?

 

[Quovatis]

Discord and other forums. Shame same info isn't posted here.

 

[Gloppy]

Is there any news of likely date when this will happen?

 

[cclaerbo]

It appears small portions of the update are getting rolled out already. Planning day is only 23 hours now.
Nb4powerup is the second armory slot going to get rolled out the same way? How about any of the other parts of the update

 

[EywaTheUnknown]

Korean forum says it's rolling out today and tomorrow. Looks like Android before iOS if my broken translated Korean is correct.

 

[Imaera]

I have it already in play store, but i'm afraid to download it. We are in the middle of a difficult war and i don't know what kind of unpleasant surprise this update could bring, messing up with coallitions, inventory and such.

 

[Mountainking]

It already blew up on my face...Probably from Nexon overloaded servers. A 5* attack lost, gold, food and 2.5k oil. I sure am angry. Fortunately its recorded.

 

[Angel forever]

This has been an epic fail on release for android and iOS. Epic fail release

 

[cclaerbo]

I'm hearing of lots of crashes and problems with wars. Might want to hold if your alliance is mid war or getting close to war day starting like ours. Turn off your automatic updates lol
