Why continue playing in 2019 - after 2 years Im just tired now

[Mixie]

Here's something others haven't suggested :
Create an alt. This time, rush it! Who knows, one day in shorter time it gets to global age and stronger than your main
It's fun to get another one where we apply different strategies.

I believe the issue was 'vast' amounts of players.

People have suggested it, just not in this thread.

They are quitting in vast numbers but you dismiss all evidence and just say put out your resources so long hit the road like your glad they are quitting. It’s contentious

 

[PhilGoetz]

I see - my regular (food) troops are already maxed out - only the OIL troups is still ongoing - actually I max my university to get the 30% on MK tanks and also lower the workers and get the 10% shorter time. My defens buildings mostly bunkers need still 1-2 level before they are max GA- but hm yes, maybe I go AA and start maxing the MK and planes then first - with the 30% university bonus I guess that's the best.

@blood
Not glad they're quitting but why let the opportunity pass us by? If they're going we might as well benefit.
I'm still playing and l have my rss exposed. And guess what? There are plenty of people still playing and looting my rss.
Gripe all you want, we prefer playing.

how many medals do you have, and what troop composition would you use if you were to make a full attack rather than a raid? how well upgraded are your fighters?

if you have your barracks troops maxed, you should be able to score victories with them. maybe this forum could try to help you out with battle strategies.

what i may suggest for global is 1 fighter, 1 transport, 2-3 supply carts, 0-2 tanks, 5-7 cannons, 50+ shooters. the transport should be used to destroy defensive building that threaten your main army, like the mortar, but should not be deployed too far away because your supply carts will try to heal your paratroopers if your main army is healthy. the fighter can be used to kill enemy defenders or to slow down enemy building rate of fire. just watch out for their antiair capabilities. tanks dont do anything other than distracting the enemy while your cannons and shooters do their job.

and i would suggest playing in the silver leagues. if you have a solid defense, it may be difficult for you to stay down there because of too many successful defenses. one solution is to design your base so that it protects against raiders but bends over for full attackers. losing on purpose may sound odd, but by doing that you can control your medal count and have an easier time when you actually play. your resource losses will increase by a small amount while your gains will increase by a great amount.

and if your defenses are max global except for the bunkers, then you dont have to do any work on them anymore until cold war age. im in cold war age but i still have a lot of enlightenment defenses.

Good advice, not many players think about this.

800 medals is the best Phil.
​​​​​Oot, but somehow I keep getting attacked lately, been too lazy to drop medals after NTG farming lately and suddenly it is 1200 from 400
2 stupid maxed out jets and HT attacks took down my base successfully, hate them! And the rest were daily medal droppers, many of them, like each time I login there are 5. And I login very often
This will break Blood's ''fact'' about massive amount of players quitting!

And you shall not quit then Phil! Find your fun again.
AA rush is very close. Also don't forget, find the right place that'll suit your game style
Next time you post here it's about how excited you are, using your new AA toys and their boosts from uni!

Actually Im around 1900/2000 medals - even I just use raiders to loot or get 2 stars from fast townhall victories because of the gifts.

I feel tired for always do those downgrade plays, its so time consuming and as I said, I just do some 2stars or loot - but as Im LVL201 I get many people downgrading on me too so I get medals always for free hahaha.

If I try to use my troups - either 5MK2 plus 2 regular tanks, or the usual tanks, heal, artillery - its impossible for me to get 5 star wins.
I seem to be unlucky that my troops always run like mad but never like they should.
I see other guys attacking me with their soldiers and tanks as a good group in front protecting the artillery niecly during the whole attack.
I can place mine the same and immedialty my tanks go left, my artillery moves right and my soldiers run front followed by all healing troops, so my artillery and tanks get killed why the meds just look the other way. And dont tell me to assemble them - I can do that but either after they assembled they directly run back from where they came from, or during the assemble they decide to ignore it or just dont use the initial boost ... assembly for me didnt work at all for the last year, And my troups are somewhat stupid that its just frustrating too much to try that.
Oh I did those attacks when I was EA before and there it worked like a charm, but when I went to GA and Nexon "improved" gameplay for me it wnet havoc

 

[No Angel]

Think you should sacrifice a 30 minutes playtime to drop medals. Will be easy, train the whole infantry army. What's your nation? I drop 800 medals in 1 hour, but I also chitchat in alliance and logout to check other game then come back
My brother dropped 2.5k medals in 1 hour but he's just crazy! Don't follow his lead

Agree with pckrn. Base design is also important.

Oh yeah, I find this odd also, units movements. Noticed this in my Brits, I use 9 howies and 59 shooters. First spread was ok, but then the shooters and howies went separately to different ways SMH! Then I assume that big units will tend to move aside rather than move forward, I don't know!
Another thing that the game must fix (or at least, clarify)

Here's a suggestion: don't use tanks. Tanks separate from your main body and healers often run after them. Without tanks the healers, shooters, artillery generally move at the same speed. Sure they can move off on their own sometimes but they don't target defensive towers, they target anything. As a result they don't move too far from everyone else.
Also after you rally your troops they'll stick together better than if you had tanks in the mix.
Or another suggestion: if you like tanks then have 1-2 heavy tanks in the mix instead of the normal battle tanks. You'll still have tanks but they move with your army, not away from it.
Point to remember (@No Angel , for you too): troops will wander, that's what they do when searching for a target. You can't expect perfect formation. That's where planes come in. (or tactics if you prefer them)
Use your planes to strafe defenders or certain towers until your troops are out of danger or until you can rally them.
The game is not supposed to be set-and-forget, you have to use all your troops at your disposal.
Remember, you're the commander!

 

[bulwark]

I am of global age currently at 160 level. i use the following combo in world wars.(total troop space : 140)

2 supply carts
2-3 wall miners
7 howitzers
3 howitzers from alliance (total 10)
rest shooters
no tanks(with re-balance i dropped off tanks)

4 fighters

tactics : i use decoys 7 of them.

how i drop troops :

spread drop

shooters first,
then howies
supply carts
generals and Mercenaries in the mix

planes are used mainly for advancing my ground troops( clearing enemy defenders or slowing down certain defenses)

for silo bases ;

divert the silo by dropping generals and flammpanzers on safe spot which u think
then same as above

other combo i try :

5 HT mk 3(recently upgraded to mk3)
rest zookas
1 HT from alliance (total 6 HT's)
generals and flammpanzers

tactics :

4 first aid and rest decoys

4 fighters for advancing my HT

Dont just drop troops and stay idle lol, u got to watch your troops after being deloyed.

 

[No Angel]

Yes Master, hail the holy Grinch!
That is so motivating (seriously)
But we can't ignore the fact that shooters often shoot the walls when other troops have breached the other side of walls eh
I'd rather have personal troops rally/control but you will say I want the game to be easier

 

[sileepuppee]

If you play the same way for years than of course it’ll get boring. While I’m not a fan of the rebalance it did monkey wrench the hell out of the game for sure. We had players at Industrial Age take out silos bases easily pre rebalance. Now they’re forced to go global and to and extent, atomic. As far as the time it takes to upgrade, that’s really all games unless you’re paying money.

 

[Deathstreak]

PhilGoetz Looking at your current scenario, i think the best option is to drop medals...Pre rebalance i used to have short run ups to 2000 medal range once in a while because it was fun and possible..bbut post rebalance i have contained myself around 800 medals..its easy loot there and you dont gain many medals if you keep your town center exposed. (funny i havent come across No Angel yet). As told i use HT Mk3 army...but you can try all sorts of army combos in this range without having to retrain them everytime you use them. Planes are the most imortant units in the game..the influence they have is tremendous, especially in clearing path for your main troops...so maxing your planes and asosciated technology should be your main priority if not done already. I was also thinking of quitting after rebalance stage 4 as i lost my entire armies very often with less gain. But being in this forum (as a spectator of course till recently) and seeing what others had to share i have switched my attack method, medal range and units used and now i am doing OK. (Although i wish they reduce the defenders health to 75% or something of what it is now). Just try diff combos and see which suits you. having max HT in leo, your HT MK3 should be strong enough to take down most atomics if used properly. Hang around, you will find its possible to enjoy this game, maybe in a different way.

 

[No Angel]

Hah come find me, I'm currently with 200k oil now
My medals are raising a bit cause too many droppers messed with me so it's 1000-1200 now

 

[Quagmire]

Surely it's up to the Marketing Department to promote the game? Both to attract new players & give existing ones an idea of what new content is still to come? With Space Age only a few months away, this should be an exciting time for the game. But I've seen nothing from the Devolopers for over a month.

 

[Funken_A]

See you later, don't forget to leave your rss exposed!

I would never make this game easier for players like you who just roll over and ask to have their bellies rubbed cause they are a good boy.. aren't , yes you are your a good dog

 

[Manifesto]

First a clown, now a dog. I wonder what's next?
