Topic: [362402] Minimum number of troops sent in an attack

[-362402] msantos29 (GB1) [GB1] :: March 22, 2019, 10:21 p.m.

what do you think about increasing the minimum number of troops (32) that can be sent in an attack, GGE devs?

would have to be applied correctly, as all things should ..

something like, above legendary level XYZ, the minimum should be 300 or some other number that worked (im not dev).

Don't understand why this would be necessary. There are several examples where it would make it harder for players to do certain things. For example, if you are capturing an RV you have to send at least 32 troops. If it were an RV that was on the map with natives or one abandoned with only one troop, why would you want players of higher levels have to send more troops than others to capture it? That would seem to be unfair to me. Another example is the Shapeshifters. It is impossible to beat the shapeshifters, so some people will send the minimum # of troops (which is 32). I am a level 70, 231 Legendary Level, so I should have to send and lose 300 troops just to get the ShapeShifter points and insignias? Once again, is that fair?

You're sat in pro mode so doesn't bother you much either way

Wow, lets see if we can solve the problems you came up with:

1) Dont apply it to captures (rvs, etc) - sorted

2) dont apply it to shapeshifters - sorted.

can just apply it to PVP

So with your proposed implementation, I can't send 32 troops BD hits... I can't send toolcleaners?

Also since a lot of CG users are bots - does this mean we can still send 32 troop hits at them, as I assume they come under the "NPC" classification?

I've always thought the minimum should be increased for us higher levels. At least against other players. Tool burning is too easy and no risk involved.
