Attack Bonus

[CivilSmoker]

Why has the attack bonus for CWA vs AA gone down? Used to be 2800 oil now it’s 840.

 

[Valamforth]

I guess its because space age... But now i dont have any reason to be in my medal range. All bases giving me 2800 or more bonus are incredibly hard. Therefore Ill drop my medals.

 

[oddin]

new age was released. we follow the normal rules now for -1, same age +1 age like all others

 

[Pretty]

I don’t like this at all. It’s hard enough to make resources without them reducing the bonus. We have real lives you can’t expect us to spend every second of the day on a game.

 

[Manifesto]

I can understand why they want uniformity but the game is hard enough as it was, there should be better/more incentives for us to play in higher ages.
Unfortunately the only incentive Nexon wants to encourage is the incentive to buy crowns.

As some wise people told me in the forum before "games like this are supposed to take long time and get alot harder" Lmao enjoy losing most of your troops, and wait an hour til you can do the attack, and then lose the resource you just previously looted by a space age player

 

[TizJourney]

Why do you still care about oil? You either have played game for years or bought your pass to be in Atomic/CWA.

If you still haven’t figured out how effectively farm oil after years of playing the game you are dead brain idiots.

And if you paid your progress then buy more crowns.

 

[CivilSmoker]

Dead brained idiot? I guess you don’t play in wars. I’ve played for years and have figured out how to attack repeatedly without loosing troops, which gives me max trade goods and allows me to keep up with NTGs. The oil bonus was a welcomed addition which also allowed me to keep up with oil, without having to “selectively farm for oil” while loosing tons of troops in the process.

And the trolling starts

With the rebalance and loss of global bases losing the bonus is very frustrating. A lot of us cold wars relied on it to avoid hitting next for 10 minutes trying to find the perfect base.

 

[Manifesto]

The bonus shouldn't be the end-all-and-be-all. I've found plenty of Atomic bases who give me 5k plus (without my museum bonus). 8-10 attacks on bases like that is nothing to be sneezed at and the bonus is just that, a bonus.
Us CW bases had it good for a long time, now it's Space Age that enjoys the benefits, while some CW players have to learn to fight hard again. Globals get a long overdue return to normality.
The world makes sense again.

 

[KniferX]

Nope, Globals got the short end on this update as well.
Before update they would be attacked by CWAs with 5 planes.
Now they will be attacked by AAs with 7-8 planes, and no buffs were given to air defense and SAMs of Global age. It's about the same situation if not worse.

As for benefits in MP, Space Age won't be enjoying much compared to CWA at the moment. 3 air unit upgrades, 5% boost in stats for each, and a 5% boost for basically every troop upgrade. Offensive silo is mostly reported as a hindrance (annoying scanning animation that you have to wait to finish before you can skip to next base in MP, 1000 oil cost and random target not that helpful). A choice of wonder, some economical (meh), one clear choice for wars, and 2 other what look to be meh wonders as well. Really, on the offense side, CWA vs SA in MP will be a barely noticeable difference, at least before the second part of SA is released.

 

[Manifesto]

KniferX
I stand corrected.
Actually, I expected the SA offense boost to be minimal compared to CW defenses, hence I'm not bothering to move up. Thanks for confirming this.
But curious as to what you mean by 'second part'.

 

[Alexey]

I guess one new building in a so advertised new age is not what we expected, so we’re waiting for some more)

 

[Mizzo]

Remove the silo completely and the game will for sure be fun again that would compensates the rebalance haha

 

[kilgore_trout]

That's crazy you guys were getting such a bonus for attacking down when atomics only get 740 for attacking globals. Have fun grinding with the rest of us

 

[pckrn]

well, if everyone is suffering, then the world actually is fair now lol

 

[Manifesto]

Well hopefully l can make the grind a little less painful. My rss buildings are out, my oil wells are out (sorry my refinery is still off ljmits) and I've hung up my trigger finger.
Atomics can get some nice loot and a partial bonus, if they're game!

 

[Alexey]

The problem is not the grinding. 8k oil bonus was good enough for me to stop attacking AA bases and focus on CWA. Now that it went down to 2.8 I’m not focused on CWA that much, I went back to hitting AAs. So the problem is that now dominations bonus doesn’t perform it’s role in encouraging to attack higher bases as it was planned.

 

[KniferX]

I mean the second part of Space Age upgrades. Second level of factory, factory troops, second half of air units upgrades. CWA was released in 3 parts as well, the most recent one being war academy, dock, level 17 walls, air defense and SAMs upgrades, etc.

As for switching to SA, there are some good quality of life improvements in 2 of the library chapters, along with a pretty good defense chapter for air defense and SAMs, look them up and possibly reconsider. And you give a bigger domination bonus when attacked.
