Don't you guys think coalition update is way too defense centric?

[calvarium]

Yeah, I know defense is kinda harder than attack in this game. However, I feel like new update massively focuses on buffing defensive coalition while nerfing offensive coalitions (also I got an impression that updated offensive coalition indirectly buffing black hawk medics, one of the most expensive troops. Bighuge want us to spend more on buying troops?)

New tactics will arise with this update. So, I'm quite excited but still with huge worries. I want to hear everyones opinion on this.

I just hope more and different strategys come from this update, lets see how it goes.
I feel like whatever happens something will be nerfed or improved after a month or two.
And honestly the attaking ways it could go i am more excited, definetly not just thworing everything out without thinking so yeah, i am optimistic.

And as I said, probably will be adjusted so im not really worried about defense or attack being too OP. Lets see what happens.

I don't think the new update focuses only on buffing defenses.
The former Egyptian Coalition bonus has been split into the Egyptian and Indian Coalitions.
Former Maori Coalition bonus divided into the Maori and Russian Coalitions.
These are definitely not defensive buffs.

The Russian Coalition no longer provides HP bonuses to Garrisons, Tank Depots, or Bunkers. That actually makes them more vulnerable to attackers.
Air defense's DMG & HP bonus also removed as well.

In my opinion, removing the Aztec Coalition's damage bonus for Barracks troops is good for balance.
It seems that BHG wants players to use not only Barracks troops, but Factory troops as well.

Overall, I have a positive view of this update. It's a bit unfortunate that the previously strongest combination seems to have been nerfed so heavily that people may stop using it.

However, I don't think it's healthy for the game if there is only one 'correct' strategy that everyone follows.
I hope this update encourages players to try different combinations and develop their own strategies.

I agree that splitting the coalitions might push players to try different combinations instead of relying on one strong setup. It will be interesting to see how the meta changes after players test the new balance for a while.

How about we all wait to play with the new updates before we ask for comments ... opinions are just that - opinions.

How do you think the changes in defensive and offensive coalitions in this update will impact players' strategy building?

I finished my first war yesterday. As defensive player, all I can say that it was SO nice to see the classic "Mortar+Artillery" got wreck against my walls instead of rush me in 1 minute with no chance at all. The change in the Egyptian and Aztec coalition were goat for this. Lets see what happen against other combos in the future.

And in the Offense, using USA coalition, it improved a lot my factory army, so now im not so useless in attack for being over defensive (but still not broken for having the same damage input as an ofensive player)

There's one way you'll know for sure ...

This was a good update fair to both O and D .

 

[calvarium]

So far, i feel like defense 7 offense 3 ish. Strategy diversified. Good. But now, because none of the ground troops can handle defenders, both attacker and defender heavily rely on defender spawn time. I mean, it used to be, but even more now.

Disagree completely. Well balanced update. It was always way too easy to 5 star any base. Now it's actually challenging.

That doesn't make sense.
Was the update balanced? If so, then the fact that 5 star even good 3D hasn't changed.
Or was it defense-centric, so that it's now challenging to defeat 3D?

I'm saying the game is more balanced now. It's more challenging to defeat 3D, which it should be. So as far as the update goes, maybe it helps defense more.

Oh no the sky is falling is all I am seeing on every thread.

Yet after the update I have seen Leggo apc/mrl apc/heli and bombers killing kill good 3D bases. So sounds like anyone having issues needs to become a better striker cause other strikers are still killing top 3d with ease, do better don’t blame update
