THE THRILL IS GONE: I moved to Titan 2 weeks ago, This is the first season of GBG for titan vs titan troops. The fighting is miserable in GBG. I haven't found a combination yet that works in Auto Battle for more than 3 or 4 fights in a row before I either lose troops or have to swap out injured ones. I thought something was broken. It is nothing like SAJM where I could do 25+ fights in a row at low attrition with 2 harpoons and 6 rogues before something got killed. I got the most attack bonus in the guild. It seems ridiculous to add more attack boost. When I use the 300% attack defense black and 300% attack black potions, there is a nominal improvement. Swapping/replacing constantly is super slow for speed fighting. (If I manually fight, I easily win, with many 1 shot kills, AO is 138. Try to get to 120 attrition manually battling (600 fights), would take hours and hours)
Inno's AI changes have taken all the fun out of fighting both on auto and manually. On auto my troops make the worse move possible at least 50% of the time, that is mostly the reason they get killed so easy. They attack the untis that just hit, they attack rogues first, the avoid artillery until everything else is killed, they charge down the field when hanging back would be better or they hang back when they need to charge, they seldom use terrain bonus and almost never pull back out of range, if they have so type of stealth bonus they only use it occasionally even when it is right next to the tile they just moved on to. It used to fun to manually battle at high attrition and see if it was possible to outsmart the enemy. Now it is no longer an army I fight but 8 suicide bombers intent on killing a single unit of my army with no regard for their own life. It is nothing like it used to be and no it is not just the age I am in. On beta I'm in progressive and the same thing happened there, I was getting to 150 attrition 3 months ago, now it is difficult to get much above 100. So sell us these beautiful new inflated attack boost buildings and then change the AI algorithm to make them less useful. Seems like a nice way to cheat me, I mean create a revenue stream. I don't think inno is done, my troops are only half stupid on auto battle. The screen shot is my base numbers without any potions (except maybe the 4% tavern one) ( I can walk thru GE Level 5 and get ticked-off if I lose 1 troop in all 16 battles but I fight manually)
