• Ending Support for AOS6
    As highlighted in our 12.10 Update notes, we will be ending support for AOS6 with the release of the 12.11 Update due to technical requirements. Those on AOS6 will need to upgrade to a device that supports AOS7 or above to continue playing DomiNations.

i agree. and i dont use decoys or demos. i still use standard protect and sab. what the tactics change has done at least for me is force me to become a better player. i hardly use tactics now in multiplayer

nah honestly decoys don't deserve to be 2 space tactic
it's usage is not as easy as u think if ur facing a well planned base, not as easy as sabotage which is a fire and forget tactic for the following reasons
1- it's easily taken down by anti tank guns specially if they r placed next to mortars (the usual target players are going to use decoy against)
2- it triggers defenders which if excessive will cause defender overwhelming on ur troops
3- it triggers Tc defenders and generals
4- it's not effective if ur troops become in closer range to defensive buildings
5- it's not effective at all against sniper towers

for these reasons, making it a 2 space tactic will render it obsolete, it's a hazardous tacitc which requires careful use and a fair trade for who want to protect his army from mortars to face difficulties of triggering many defenders around

Decoy is a good aggro pulling tool, but it is only that. It's not going to kill those buildings shooting at it, nor is it going to kill the mass of defenders it will pull to it. And if the attackers can't kill the defender clump then they'll have an issue to deal with.

its basically a replacement of sab. People use it because sab is in an akward position now. It has its merits like activating traps and forcing out TC troops and stuff but its nowhere as good as sab but its better than other 1 space tactics. Does it need a nerf? No, but other tactics need a buff

I believe Decoy worth the same or even more than Betrayal and both of them must have just one tactic capacity. Sabotage is the strongest tactic but what made it overpower wasn’t the Sabotage itself! British is overpower and combination of this tactic with +1 range of British made the army of death! for other nations sabotage worth the same as Protect.

I agree about betrayal not being worth 2 spaces. It is really a 1 space tactic at best. Especially beginning in Global when you can research HTs from the factory so all of a sudden you face too many HTs on the battle field! I stopped using it because its battle value for 2 spaces is very low for me.

Indeed, I too learnt two new word usages - 'to nerf ' and 'to buff' - on this forum. I wonder if they are much used in the gaming (or any other) community?
