Over Powered Captain Tactics

Post by Serruntiss »

Hey guys i want to post this here see if we can get this nerfed a bit.
Below i am posting general army numbers, i understand it can vary a lot if you play cards etc.

100 cats, 200 pikes, 200 archers.
This is the normal army make.

It takes about 7 armies and a captain army to raze a well carded village.
Now with the captain tactics - Arrow volley and Catapult barrage working.
You can raze ANY village with -

150 cats, pikes and archers (2 drills)
1 big captain army with 3-5 captains.
1 captain for arrow volley (to clear the keep, this can clear even 5 captains in the keep)
1 captain for catapult barrage (also to clear the keep plays well together with arrow volley)
1 captain for healing
1 captain for delay (the raze captain)

So this means you can spend about 5-6 USD carding a castle, or wait a month or so for it to complete building and you lose it with 2 well timed drills and a big captain tactics army.
This also means i can time a raze within mere mins, say 2-3 mins if my drills are close by.
If i need to time 7 armies it would take longer which means the player has more time to ID.
But with the captain tactics being so overpowered you look away and you can get raze.


I have personally tested this, and also have been a target of this.
It really works very well.

I would much rather like it if it take more armies to destroy a castle rather then just 2-4.

Hope something can be done to fix it.

Well returned after a year on world 1 and started domination. Then I reviewed the captain tactics. Now I'm not very * If I will continue. Although I even use some cards, I find the captain tactics very overpowered, i think it was better before.

We need captain asasins now.

However it may be easier to attack then defend however it is less costly to defend then attack :)

So it balances itself out

There are no strongholds in Stronghold Kingdoms,
just weak castles that fall like cardboard.

Nerf the cats or buff the walls.

I want the same thing but any bets there will be some disagreement.

It is cheaper to defend, IF you win.
But, if you lose, you lose your entire village.
And a village is worth far more than the troops needed to defeat it.
