With new allience perk, Demolition tatics become useless

[Bigbrother]

First I think that I can use it con Mortar, but with University search, I cant.
Then I think they can destroyed anti tank guns, but they release allience perks. Put 10% health to anti tank guns.
I think Suli search in University must have more effect on demolitions, 2% per level is better than 1%.
What do you think?

Who cares about demos even more unskilled than sabotage....

 

[JMoney]

Actually, now that I think about it, buffing demo would actually just help british out because it means they can just delete button the mortars -- aka, the only buildings that actually stop them -- and walk over a base. Nah, I rather enjoy the current state of demos where they are essentially tactics that are 2 space to be effective.

 

[Bigbrother]

Yeah, you are right. Mortar is the only defense that can stop Brits guns.

 

[Evningcome]

But they are working on balance ....maybe in Eastern world they start buildings from roofs .For me balance should start from balancing nations ,and from that point towards because nations are the fundaments

Demos always have been bad, learn to use decoy

 

[Bigbrother]

Not bad if it have huge damage. How about your decoy using? In this topic we are talking about demolitions, not decoy. Ok?

So, the alliance perks are designed to be symetrical - first you get a 10% boost to your defense (level 2), then later you get the same boost to your offense (level 7).

The issue I see is that the Level 7 boost does not state that it applies to tactics. So the back and forth effectively just reduces demolitions power by 10%, effectively nerfing an otherwise useful tactic for war. TinSoldier Nb4powerup - Can either of you comment on this? Between sabotage, protect, and betrayal being doubled in space, and decoys randomly causing my game to slow to a crawl especially if more than one is out, tactics are becoming more and more frustrating. If this is actually intended, can we call that out specifically?

Demolition has been useless since the university was introduced, and the "Monuments" library research. It takes 3 demo to take out the FC, which was one of the main uses (used to take just 2).

 

[yemen]

With the mongol coalition, and research in the university, it can actually take out a fair number of mortars in one hit. Not top atomic fully researched, but that is often not the case. So it is pretty useful, or at least has been. A 10% boost to defensive building hitpoints is pretty significant though, and will prevent it from being one shot killed in a lot of cases. And since building damage is not reduced based on the buildings health, that is a huge difference.

actually now u can't destroy FC even with 7 demos since the damage penalty applies to it against Town centers including FC and resource buildings

 

[Motaz Tarek]

i think the idea of demolition itself is so skilless, taking down a building with a single press is not strategic, however i feel bad for who spent time and workers to upgrade it's university bonus
but am not sure which is worse, leaving it so useless as now or buff it so british players abuse it, it's not about demolition it's all about british players, they abused sabotage and cause a universal nerf of it that caused more harm to non-british players than british players themselves, and anything gets abused by them will be nerfed without getting close to the core of the problem that british nation is the strongest and other nations need significant boosts for more diversity in game

 

[SiuYin]

I believe demolitions should buff so that 1 demolition can take down 1 tower

I am not worried about British, good British player can take down any defense without demolitions

 

[Imaera]

... british nation is the strongest ...

Am i the only one who feels koreans are the strongest? I play with two accounts, british and koreans, and i am tempted to switch to koreans both accounts.
Those shooters are mean, man!
On topic: Demos were always useless.

 

[TinSoldier]

yemen I know that there were many more Alliance Perks designed vs. the number that was recently introduced. I don't know if or when the Alliance levels would be expanded, but I imagine a perk focused on Tactics could possibly be on the Table.

We agree that the lag caused by Decoys can be a pain, and we are currently working on a fix for it.

 

[Bowhunters alliance]

I take 6 demos in use 4 on 4 mortars then finish with planes so really still not an issue for me

 

[Motaz Tarek]

depending on the age, earlier ages koreans will be better, later on when defenses get nasty, british are better for survivability in first place
