What are your troop compositions after the game re-balance for wars & for MP battles?

Now that round 2 of re-balance has rolled out, please do share what troop compositions are working well for you for wars as well as for multi-player battles (for the purposes of gathering NTGs).
Please do call out your age, and maybe your level, when sharing your successful compositions, so that it will help others of your age.
Thank you, everyone! Appreciate your help!

I'm French Industrial level 153. My Combo before re-balance was 5 tanks, 4 howitzers, 2 supply trucks, 30 shooters and 10 infantry. My combo after the re-balance is exactly the same, I just dropped medals even lower and crush piss poor enlightenment bases and rushed industrials. I've pretty much totally stopped attacking globals.

I’m 274 CWA and have for the first time in my domi career started using full raiders. Army’s are too expensive and too timely to effectively raid with now.

Thanks Nexon

Shooters, artillery, healers, bazookas. same as before. (British CWA). I used 1 decoy but now I've changed it to an extra protect.
My Global Germans have tanks but less artillery/shooters. And now one extra protect. And I play at lower medals.
Life goes on.

I have 11 accounts with different nations. Tried one, French Lv 125 Industrial. MP : no problem, my medal is 800. Half troops will survive. It's French, so I have less training issue. War, different story 😆. I can usually 5 star Lv 130-160 Industrial, now I can only 3 star Lv 130 😱 (without O coalition). Our next war day will start tonight, so I might give it a try with O's.
Troops : 4 St. Chamond, 4 Artilleries, the rest shooters. 2 Flammpanzer, 1 Tercios, sometimes Hessian. 1 Sabotage, 4 Decoys. 2 Generals (Joan and Alex). Request for 3 artilleries.
Thank goodness there is Factory troops discount event, I should get to try HT soon.

Really, decoys are less useful now.

​​​​​​I have 2 AA accounts French & Brit but don't feel like wanting to MP and lose my army. So I will try in WW right away. Lose army, instant retrain.

Swapped some artillery for raiders, adopted machine gun infantry, and started using a bomber and a fighter. Swapped a first aid for a barrage.

Everything seems fine, if not better for my CWA account with maxed out heavy tanks and fighters. It was not worth the effort to attack most CWA bases before and it certainly isn't now. My global account I will just raid with 140 foot soldiers until I hit rock bottom in the medal count. My industrial, I'll do the same but with raiders.

So there are ways around this of course, but it's absolutely laughable that this was supposed to encourage more full attacks. That's right up there with doubling certain tactics' space to ''encourage diversity'' in the pantheon of Nexon zingers.

Without a drastic reduction in training times across the board I'm not sure how this change is supposed to appeal to more casual players. It's honestly not that appealing to a long timer like myself. Not quite sure how my IA and GA accounts are supposed to acquire and retain the ludicrous amounts of oil to advance without bolting the phone to my hand for hours. Guess they'll become full time university students, or more abandoned base fodder until I figure it out.

I haven't changed my troop composition post-balance. I am level 260 CWA, and I use HT/fighters for MP raiding. It seems just as effective as before. For war, I use a combo of APC/howie/RPG/miners. I haven't done a war attack since the update, but this mix has been effective in the friendly challenges I've done. For tactics, I use 2 sab, 1 protect, one first aid. Adios decoy!

I guess MP raids won't be a big deal for those who get use to raiders and engineers approach lol.
World Wars, different story. Unless your profile is fully developed CWA, oh boy you will bleed hard to get 100%, 5 stars, less than 3 minutes 😆.

Cheaters will LOL hard.

I haven't changed much I am just looking for weaker opponents instead.

My goal is to attack more and play the game not to attack less while waiting

I'm a bit turned off and I am entertaining the thought of switching to a new game

My current troop composition is about 3000 warriors, 2000 horsemen, 2500 slingers, and 1500 battering rams.

Oh, you mean Dominations? I started playing Rise of Civilations today, since Dominations sucks now.

You will be back. Dominations has it's claws deeply embedded in your soul. You can't walk away.

War is definitely going to require little more strategy because decoys get melted like butter now. I just finished my first war attack against a 267 CWA with lvl 7 maori. Valentines layout. I'm 229 CWA using lvl 7 aztec and lvl 7 mongol. I know that normally I would've beaten that base in about 2 mins but without getting used to the adjustments I attacked and got only 4 stars in 90% destruction using max troop cards though all of them from shipyards. I can see the valentines base being strong again since the tank guns are somewhat concentrated and the decoys don't last. Sams also got buffed so my planes went down faster as well. I think I may use Demo since they got buffed but we will see. Use 3-4 APC, 7-8 bazookas, 2-3 wall breachers, 11-15 ranged shooters, 5-6 heavy arts, and 5 supersonic mk5 (Whatever the max is).

On MP I just use random builds that aren't oil heavy but seeing that transports got a nice buff I may go back to using them.

For raiding: same combo as before - 6HT, 2 engineers, 3 infantry, 5 planes. Can roll over most people until about 2800 medals or until tactics (2 decoy and 5 heals) run out.
For war: same combo as before - 5 HT, 6 engineers, rest infantry. 3 elephant archers and 1 sherman crab tank. Allies is 3 FH, 1 heavy rpg and 2 infantry. Reluctant to use the APC+RPG+range siege combo, because too inconsistent with them right now.

Waiting for stage 3 when HT gets nerfed in the name of rebalance. Then will use full raiders and 7 demos in war for the lolz. Too bad I'm not with Garuda Sakai because I'm pretty sure they can get 5 stars in 30 seconds against any base using this crazy combo


I have two accounts, both cold war, level 269 and 267.

i have pretty good success with a french tank strategy that seems rare. i like it because it works with less skill and feels easy.
12 french tanks, 3 bazookas, 1 armored car, 17 infantry, 5 mk 6 supersonic fighters, 3 decoy, sabotage, protect.
no shooters or artillery.

i'm unsure how badly i'm affected comparable to the standard artillery/shooter attack.
with fair artifacts, this was strong enough to compete at CWA. it's clearly weaker now.
