Nerf White Knights

[timtadams]

They currently rape flak (1:13-14) and just ruin nearly all of the good flak targets

Now if i want their land, i have to kill for it. So now, white knights are providing me with incentive to kill, rather than flak.

Also, they get great ratios on CG as well, so now CG are half as useful as they used to be, even since their nerf.

I think swap the order you get White Knights and White Wizards, or radically reduce damage.

I dont care if you are honorable. That doesnt mean you should be allowed to rape flak (imo). I am always honourable, i currently have almost 400k WK (on the odd occasion im not zeroed) and i still think they should be nerfed.

This effect is much more pronounced at the lower ranks where everyone has less troops.

Pretty sure someone has suggested to swap WKs and WWs before. I forget how it went and am too lazy to do a search, but I think that that is a good idea.

I agree. Makes far more sense to get a crappy let flak first and then the uber flak killer later.

Old idea is old, please search forums for similar (identical) posts in future

On a more serious note, I completely agree with you.

Nerf Dragons while you're at it. They're totally imba

The fact that they die like flies outbalances them. on any easy target the number of WKs are usually low enough that you can kill them without triggering AR and flaking past allied players are never much of an idea. (Even small allies have someone able to rape flak or block flak LT)

Sorry, didnt realise. Im usually good at checking for previoulsy suggested ideas :x

if you are CG, you can flak allies. Unless you get screwed by white knights

Thats with 4 people defending (excluding target)

I would have been through if it werent for WK.

And at lower ranks, which is where i usually am, you can flak plenty of people with normal gardeners. Thats what i do on most of my attacks. But if they have WK, which so many of them now do, forget about it.

I like to keep my LETs home to defend.
Now i have to kill my target, and risk not being able to defend effectively.

Agreed. I remember when they first came in and i thought that was how it worked even during testing...i dont know why its the other way round.

That is always how it should have been. Utter bollocks that it's not. Switch em up!

 

[willymchilybily]

i think the original topic was more to do with scaling? and when they fired early?
i mean wk are brilliant flak even if they die. and ww too and they dont die. i think the original topic started off talking about somethign else and got derailed.

but yeah either switch thier order, or have it at least some what moderated with respect to troop score. thats the main issue. (as otherwise the same problem will occur, but only for really honourable people)

if you die alot get picked on alot sure you should have a ncie flak killer to help... but at such low cost if you end up with 1m ww and 2.5m wk and only have 2million - 3million lethals yourself because of your size you are instantly like a power house because they are so cheap... and it is most likely lower ranks who will have the wk/ww

another alternative raise thier cost marginally. that way at least your score does increase to some extent.....but switching them doesnt seem like the best possible solution though its an easy fix
