My entire army dies from a tiny attack after forced update??

[Zloca]

FUCK this game! I know many people complained here how they lose battles easily after the update so I didn't want to update myself, but they made it mandatory today so I couldn't launch without updating. All 11 my companions just died raiding a base that yesterday would have not killed a single one, possibly one at worst. WTF?? And the flipping base only had 30k gold, I thought this is routine, I did 100 similar ones yesterday and many days before with no casualties. One after another.

This is blatantly a move to force you to buy more crowns, this was always a p2w game, but they think they've got us suckered in by now and we'll stay no matter how irritating their updates get. I'm giving up, this is stupid. There are better games out there. Don't be an addict, quit this shit, they're making you into a grade a sucker if you buy crowns just to get the same level of gameplay you had before this update.

Yeah, the updated A.I. makes the Horsies parade around bases taking arrows and mortars for nothing too.

 

[vu.nguyen1987]

same thing happened to me man. the update nerf the Greek so badly, i.e. reduce dmp of the heavy companion, rip off the 5% refund, and the worst is the AI. before I just need to use a wall miner to create a hole and others will use that hole to raid the base, I use 10 heavy companion and rarely loose any, but now they go around the hold attack the walls and got hit by ballista. I can't tell enough how much I hate these money sucker developers, **** them all.

 

[Funken_A]

I agree. They've destroyed their own game

 

[firedancer]

Probably need to live with it for a month before they release the next update because they seem to be in a monthly release cycle.

offense and defense will pendulum between one or the other having an advantage or being broken. one day theyll release an update and our walls will get nerfed and be paper thin. the zeppelins will get buffed etcetc. some of it will be on purpose. other times a bug like the ai is now. we ride the wave. were all on the same boat. sometimes well get sea sick. other times we have a great fun time. when a game first comes out it has more waves till they find a better balance. but even established games have flavor of the month armies strategies. some players roll with the punches others quit

which isnt to say bhg shouldnt use kitten gloves to harness new casual players. right now their sledgehammering the player base

Well, the pendulum needs to be in favor of the attackers, or there is no point in playing the game. since you only ever get attacked when you are offline, and you have no input in how well your village defends against the attackers, there isn't much "fun" in defending. everyone plays the game so they can attack other villages for medals and resources, but with the oil boom update, attacking is now so incredibly difficult, and rebuilding an army takes so long, that it's no longer fun to play, and is now just frustrating.

And it is combined with global cheats, bugs, crashes and imbalances. You just feel stupid if you invest a lot of time/money now, while you can't progress with all these 3 days upgrades and 1 hour army recovery. I don't know why they decided to fail a successful game. The biggest mystery so far.

 

[Cent Kail]

Im pretty sure they are trying their best on how to make a smarter AI and change it. Nobody want to fail a successful game. I mean i myself was furious after every update that they made but have some faith if you love the game and hope it can get better.

I am a programmer, trust me you don't "mess up" AI like that. Every change is explicitly deliberate, they want to reduce offense as much as possible. It's not just this last update.

so the question is why? why would they do something so short sighted. I just do not see a bunch of players running out there buying crowns to advanced the game because they killed the offense.

And depending on farms and caravans to do your upgrades is just insanely boring

 

[Nathan Win]

AI issue is so bad, I try not to use the rally button. That will just make them worse than they are now. FU Nexon and BHG

Using crowns to speed up troop retraining after a heavy loss during an attack. I think that's what they want. I can't see what else would make them mess it up for all of us.

Lol! Devs have PMS! Explains so much!

 

[JuDomines]

Guys, you really need to learn how to use Protect - now the best War tactic in he game, supply healer and armor blessing. And be wise when you pick the base you want to attack (yes it may require skipping 15-20 bases before finding the right opponent). I know it's hard to change your behavior and you will be tempted to resist a LOT to the change. But the only other alternative is to quit. Up to you.

Why?? are the makers and developers bots too? They cant just read the stuff said here and act on it!? Gueesh

Seems they make it so that when one uses Rally, the affected troops will not stand in occupied cell when they are attacking their target. In before, they just go to one spot then start attacking, but now when under the effect of rally, they surround the target instead of stacking on each other like before. Which then create a different distances from one troop with the other, making them attacking different targets (because now their nearest favorites are at different ranges from one another) after the rally target destroyed.

I guess they are trying to prevent us from just dropping a bunch of cavalries and letting all of them attacking same building (fast destruction, focused attack and higher survivability rate for the cavalries). Instead they want the cavalries to spread out after Rally target destroyed (slow destruction, spread attack and very low survivability rate). Targeting the weak will be first priority with this...

Basically they are just asking the players to either use crowns or cheat. Seriously, it just looks more like they encourage cheats now... Otherwise, no point on trying to play this game for getting top rank.

Prior to the last update, the game was grossly imbalanced in favor of offense. You should not be able to steamroll over a base with your army. I understand that people were used to the faceroll that attacking had become, but it was silly. This latest update fixes this, and while there are certainly problems with the AI, it is more balanced and a better game for it.
