Sweet Liberty! - Week Ahead 10/14

[SirBiggun]

I keep hearing some peeps referring to these “bought things“ like FSH and NH hangars, firstly 99% of peeps don’t use those..they are terribly expensive. ..second, if you do spend $15 an attack …yeah I think you should get something for it. Dont forgot D peeps buy zook tower which imo is way OP and is a LEGO killer fo as are the premium Ikes in SH. So the spending goes both ways. Bottom line is the results …which is wars where good O attackers are getting 0-2* lately on tough 3D and clearly time wars are a thing of the past. It seems D would be OP to me. Anyway, if I am going to get 0-2* on bases I’ll just snipe the TC and call it a day…that sounds like a fun game .

The problem your 99% estimate is way off. Most hits I get are from those using them. If they bought them on them but allot I am sure don’t buy them.
You say Zook Tower well that is 1 building and not extra tactic or air slots Plus defense can’t use two building on D defense like ZooK tower and Zook sentry but offense gets hangers and FSH.

So to me a fair exchange would be No FSH and No Hangers if a clone of drum is added or 4 coals allowed on D only Till then heck nah

Events

Headless Horseman Event 10/13 - 10/20
This week is our Headless Horseman Event!

The Headless Horseman is a classic Halloween character, and he comes from the 1819 novel The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, written by the American author Washington Irving. In the novel, the Headless Horseman is just a myth from the town of Sleepy Hollow and does not make an appearance throughout most of the novel. The Headless Horseman is rumored to be a Hessian soldier who was decapitated by a cannonball and now roams on his horse, searching for his lost head.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of the earliest examples of American fiction to hold lasting popularity. It has been adapted into various films, television episodes, theatre, and music. Additionally, the village of North Tarrytown, New York where much of the original story takes place, officially renamed itself Sleepy Hollow in 1997.

Thank you, I do hope to see more cards like this, this will definitely give me a nice boost if I ever receive it, I imagine it will be rare.

Remember that, in addition to NHH and FSH, fighters and bombers heavily depend on TUPs and recons, so attackers spend significantly more than defenders. In our current war, 3 out of 4 mortar attacks have failed against 3D bases, and even a T1 mortar attacker failed against an O base (this is happening more often too), demonstrating how overpowered defense is. Previously, 3D defenders could clear O bases, but with munitions, that's no longer possible. Again, my opinions are based for wars in the top 5 I know this is subjective but lets be real most alliances dont even fight when they match any of the top 5 teams. Furthermore, I’ve seen some strong mortar museums from different alliances but most fail when they face the top defenders.

Thanks buddy appreciate it, hope you still enjoying the game.

Not as much as I used to enjoy it in the past.

Bored mortars so much so trying to find a new combo to play.

At the moment struggling to make MRLs efficient

Bombers and fighters are usually the most dependable attack options, though it can be costly, while mortars can be inconsistent. HT, MRL, and infiltrators don’t function effectively as a standalone combination in World War, making them largely ineffective. We need a change to these units to make them viable as a complete and independent strategy, as many are losing interest, myself included.

Yep I agree.
I'd like commando attack but suddenly with those protected spawned tanks, the machine gunners from MG buildings and so many riflemen from houses and caravans it's almost impossible to make them work properly.

I will remind that defenders also spend allot on defending especially when it is all out no agreements. We make our attack and use TT plus fill SH with premium in allot wars. Plus Zook tower etc are a must

I will say biggest problem I see for O players is the fact there not enough effective combos. Defenders aren’t dumb and start to gear weapon and armor slots in muse to add to the nerfing them is why T-1 mortars are starting to fail. If we had viable apc/mrl, AH, HT/RPG, rifflemen/ assault tanks and whatever combo available defenders would not be able to just key onto mortars.

The problem with the FSH and Hangers and the fighter/bomber mix is there is not really a counter and becomes a very boring I WIN button for O player. Yea they win but how enjoyable is it to use them to clear base cause ground troops can’t fair well cause everything is focused on mortar O and D. I know when I am O I want to options and it not be just air slots winning the battle.

BHG pushing entirely mortars has hurt both O players and D players. To where most are bored and fed up with buying FSH and Hangers. Boredom and frustration on both sides has us fighting between O and D like two kids in backseat on long trip with no I Pads.

In addition, I don’t see how HTs can become useful in the near future since defending HTs are so strong and OP’d as bunkers and tank depots each spawn three troops, which can easily overwhelm an HT attack. This leaves MRLs, RPG, and other barrack troops except for Helis as the only viable option.

Been seeing a few targeting the bunkers and rockets arsenal with demo and recons before they even deploy and using fighter to take other spawn buildings.

This strategy might be effective against an average 3D museum but not against Tea, Momineen and others. A bunker has almost the same hit points as air defense, with Russian coalition you'll need three demolition units to take it out. But let just say 8 demo‘s destroy four bunkers, your fighters will then be vulnerable to all the tower defenses, and they won’t last long.

Well 90% of the game or more could use the strategy basically every alliance outside top 50. I know some of us like me are in just low level alliances lol one day maybe just maybe I will be in alliance that cracks the top 1000 lol

 

[Harlems369th]

When the Liberty Bell enters the museum, it’s exactly the same as the announcement, probably because the step-ups wasn’t updated.

There was a very very small amount that went out with the incorrect stats, those have since been corrected and those players have been compensated.
