If nobody else is going to do it, I guess I'll create another task force. I'm just having trouble thinking of a good name. Any suggestions?

I started one called Boat Pirates, with the description, "I like big boats and I cannot lie." I disbanded it to join the goonfleet. So you can take that if you want!

I discovered today that shock launchers will absolutely wreck your poo poo! Those should be a priority target when clearing the way to the core. Not only do they freeze your guys in place but they also do pretty good damage, enough to one or two shot a zooka swarm.

Yeah I hosed up and spent 280 Intel. The bases are nearly impossible for us so lesson learned. We need to spend 150-190 Intel. Also we won't likely be getting much more Intel unless they change the respawn formula. My map is clear now so I'm hoping I get more bases to attack. Speaking about the respawns, the max of 25 bases scaled to your HQ is basically stupid, you have so few choices to raid for big resources now. Also there is rumours from the Chinese version there is a loot cap.

Also per the Supercell forums, some players are bugged for respawns, which I think is affecting you cause I've had at least 8 respawns now (level 16 radar) and we're pretty equal VP-wise. Loot cap would be bullshit. I don't know wtf SC is thinking with this update unless they really think people will keep playing even though it's grindier I totally will

All riflemen like you have. You have Shockbombs I think, so rush the MG nests and shockbomb in the middle to disable everything while you wreck the MG nests. Keep chaining shockbombs while you wreck everything. One shockbomb will disable the two front MGs and the cannon and the sniper, so come in from the very bottom-left.

When I'm doing 1500k/1400k/600k for a single lc level I really don't see how I can do this given that I can't chain the bases now and dr terror no longer gives me decent resources. The task force rewards, sure I get 500k gold or 14 gems (so generous) or 300k wood or 200k stone? For the new players that is huge, but for me I can't do anything with that at all. This game got super grindy with no way out but

What do the new leader borders and purple color signify? In addition to everything else they changed on the map, they seemed to have turned way down the amount of diamond chests that spawn. Besides taskforces, not a fan of the patch. RVT fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Oct 27, 2014 |

This update is dumb. It got me more interested in playing, but the respawn rate is so low that I don't have anything to attack. Just player bases that I can't beat until I unlock medics, and Hammerman 35. I took a stab at Hammerman 35 with warriors and they all died. 40k gold in troops lost to a base that has a reward of 75k gold.

http://forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/435568-Feedback-Status-Update They posted a response to the player feedback. For instance, I am at radar level 12. The max number of bases for a fully explored map is 18. I currently have 17 player bases. 20 if I include resource bases (not sure if they count). I also have two unexplored areas, which probably do count towards my cap (since I haven't had an invasion since I cleared the npc maps a few days ago). So I guess I just have to skip the bases I can't tackle until I get ones I can clear until I can get below 18 bases, then I will see respawns. I also still have Hammerman 35, which may or may not count towards the cap.

They made a minor update to the number of possible bases on your map today. It's still not great, and everyone I refresh has 100k wood which wont buy me anything. As soon as I'm a smidge over 100k in any resource to steal someone attacks me now  With only 15-25 bases on my map it will take Edit: I picked a new Task Force target, I hope this one is better.

This game blows dick now. I don't know how much I need to write to make this a non-poo poo post, but the game went from having fun via progressing by stomping inefficient bases & pinjata-style plentiful loot Dr. Terrors, to grinding mission style player bases for minimal gains, and all Dr.Terror enemy defensive emplacements HP modified by 10x for even less resources. What a world we live in, where games have become more tedious than work.

Nah, games are much less tedious now. But instead of costing $25-50, they cost $200-10,000 depending on if you want to see the end or not. Star Wars Commander is still a lootfest with quick upgrade times. Too bad it's a buggy mess with about 10% of the SuperCell polish. I'm sure the loot will be nerfed into the ground before they fix that though. RVT fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Oct 29, 2014 |

The last TF I picked was 155 Intel and we cleaned its clock, so this time I'll pick one slightly above it. That is unless anyone gets to it first. edit: Picked a 175 for this one My Rewards for the previous 155 Intel are 15 Gems / 58800 Iron / 163800 Stone Risky Bisquick fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Oct 29, 2014 |

Pr0phecy posted:This game blows dick now. I'm gonna guess that SC is gonna give this a few weeks to see if they get their desired results. I can only assume they want the changes to force more pvp raids which will cause the avaliable loot to go back up to where it used to be. It would be nice if they had staggered these changes instead of throwing 3 big economy changes at us at once.

You could swap the south flamer and north sniper for added defense against warrior rushes. Otherwise it's good.

Is it just my luck or are resources from player bases worthwhile again? Or at least better? The spawn rate (when below invasion cap) is definitely better IMO, I see NPC and PC bases refill pretty quickly, just a matter of smashing them all again.

I'm level 17, HQ level 8 (so 4 boats w/9 cap each, no smoke screen), and getting paired against level 23+ enemies and utterly unable to take bases. Any recommendations? I'm tired of throwing my face into attacks that end up costing me 5k to recover from.

PJOmega posted:I'm level 17, HQ level 8 (so 4 boats w/9 cap each, no smoke screen), and getting paired against level 23+ enemies and utterly unable to take bases. My take on this game has always been to pump offense and mostly ignore defense. You don't get shields or any way of stopping people from attacking you so there is always the possibility of getting chain raided. I like to raid for upgrades and then stop while refreshing pvp bases for good loot and clearing out the npc spawns as soon as possible for crystals and more spawns in between upgrade sessions. I just leveled to 37 and was able to clear up to 13 on the new dr terror which got me enough to start HQ 17 and barrage 9. I regularly kill 41-44 on my map even with triple BC and SL. Maybe one of the higher level players can throw some more in.  For an Offensive Player: Always upgrade your HQ as soon as possible, there is no penalty for upgrading and it opens up new troops, gun boat abilities, LC/GB/armory level. Keep your armory as high as it can be for your HQ, I prioritize artillery -> barrage -> main troop type for upgrades. Throw in shock, heal, smoke, flare if you can but once you get to 15/20 sec of flare you only really need higher for TF maps. HQ -> armory -> gunboat -> vault -> LC (can lag behind if an upgrade wont give you 1 more troop) Throw in storage/resource upgrades if you need something cheap to do. I usually look at the resource cost of the next HQ level and upgrade my storages to meet that. Low level buildings are a good quick way of getting experience if you are close to leveling up to get the next HQ upgrade. Main Troop Combinations Rifleman Rush: Produced quickly for cheap and lets you attack while making more. Good for taking out single target buildings. Weak vs any high damage aoe, rockets and mortars. Target rockets and then mortars with artillery/barrage and medkits for flamethrowers and machine guns. Riflemen, Zooka, Medic (RzM): Same as above but adding more dps from zookas, just don't let a stray mcg or splash aoe pick them apart. Heavy & Zooka (Hooka): Beefy heavies to absorb the damage while your zookas kill from behind. Weak to rockets because the heavies sit in the dead zone and they will target your zookas. You can either art/barrage the rockets or another strategy is to art/barrage boom cannons then shock the rockets when your guys start to kill them. Heavy, Zooka, Medic (HzM): Same as above but you trade one LC for medics to give you some sustaining power. Smokey Warrior Rush: High damage with decent hp allows them to sit on the HQ for a few seconds. This is doable when you first get warriors at lower level, just flare straight to the HQ and shock anything in your path. Really shines once you get smoke to cover your path. Flare/smoke to the HQ and medkit/shock when smoke drops for a 20 sec win or loss if you didn't plan it right. If you have decent GBE you can art/barrage to clear out defenses by the HQ to make it easier. Tank & Medic (Tmed): Combine a heavy and a zooka to make a tank, only they get destroyed by cannons/boom cannons/boom mines so make sure you art/barrage BC first and then cannons along your way as you get more GBE. Medics are nice for helping sustain snipers/rockets/mortars because tanks kill pretty slowly. If you are decent with controlling where they go you can chain bases by not losing any tanks, but if you lose a tank you take a big hit and have to wait 30mins to an hour if you have double tank LCs. I would suggest either hooka/HzM or Tmed as both are pretty strong if you know how to play to their strengths and target their weaknesses with artillery. There have also been some people that have gotten very high with just pure smokey warriors. Statues: Red: Troop damage MP and 1 or 2 extra troop damage guardians Troop health MP Purple: Gun boat damage MP and 1 or 2 extra guardians Resource Reward MP Power stone Chance MP Blue: Building health MP (can remove this at lower levels if you don't have a high sculptor) Green: Nothing

That's a good post Zila. I'd only add don't underestimate the power of mass riflemen. The best part about them is that they are cheap and fast to replace and with good flare usage you can take stuff down pretty fast. For normal map clearing that is my most used troop comp. They tank for zookas surprisingly well also.
