Someone had to do it and i am deeply sorry that i will be one do it because people dont care or dont wanna care(not that i care either, just bored).
After 2020 Day of the Dead event, fort fights became extremely unbalanced because amount of flat defense J. Cortina set came with it. Instead of set being nerfed, forts tried to be balanced. Amount of attackers increased and tower bonuses reduced. Okay, so far soo good. Lets look at times "damager(just miss and do absolutely nothing)" sets.
Captain Set = 8 items -> +7.55 flat attack bonus
Mistake of Inno Set(nugget exclusive) = 8 items -> +21 flat attack bonus
Joaquin Murrieta Set = 10 items = -> +0 flat attack bonus
vs
J. Cortina Set = 10 items -> +29,5 flat defense bonus ++ fortification bonus
What is the problem here ? Let me tell you all in 10 words: You are screwed if you didnt buy the nugget set.
There was a backlash enough to force some level action to be taken and new team roles as "for fight balancing strategist" or whatever appeared. They tweaked the amount of attackers/defenders(understandable) and nerfed towers(???). All this "progress" from some player whos unable/doesnt want to spend real money to game end up having pathetic %30-35(%40 maybe if they managed to take a tower) hit rate. No one cared, snowflakes blamed people for "tanks having no love/tanks barely getting any sets meanwhile damagers have too many options" Due the nature of how calculations being made and how important the RNG factor about hitting or missing was a dice roll anyway(unlike the knowledge of common snowflakes).
Remember people saying "inno released cortina to counter union set". I DO NOT CARE. Just because 5-10 people got the mistake set doesnt mean every other player has to suffer that counter. That did nothing but people rage quitting the game including myself shortly after. I am sick and tired of this flock physiology. The West is alive today just because fort fights which is outdated and literally squares shooting squares and rest is church building simulator. Talk about Wild West Spirit, i didnt know The Sims existed during that period. Long story short, meanwhile you have single attraction to your game and you do not gamble with it that is a BAD BUSINESS STRATEGY. Sell gathering gear for real money, sell building gear for real money, sell speed gear with real money no one cares. Keep the only attraction the game in a fair state.
Lets go other side of forts before snowflakes come tell me how wrong i am because i dont care what they say.
- Wait a minute Aldunub, this is stronger than J. Cortina Horse how can you be ok with it :/ ?
-> Because grass doesnt give you any damn bonus
However. With towers are nerfed and people have maximum +2 Ron's set on their disposal, lets see what went wrong.
Ron's Set = 10 items -> +22 flat attack bonus + fortification bonus (+24 flat attack on +2 upgrade level)
vs
John Bull Set = 10 items -> +37.5 flat defense bonus ( +43.65 flat attack on +1 upgrade level)
Almost double. Add it some little razzle dazzle called RNG and "new" formulas. We will get workers and soldiers who dodge 180-200 shots. Fair ? DAMN RIGHT ITS FAIR. For 2 years attackers suffered and its totally good riddance seeing defenders suffering now but inno still doesnt seem to understand about how their own creation work.
-Fair Note -> Next even John Astor arrives to help defending damagers a bit( less flat attack than Ron's but way better SP wise)
NOW BEHOLD THE INCARNATION OF "WE DO NOT CARE"
VS SET THE BROKE THE GAME ON 2020
More AP -> CHECK
More SP -> CHECK
More Flat Defense Bonus -> CHECK
Inno does learn from their mistakes -> X
Lets check what Leavenworth set has to offer
+40 flat defense without any upgrades. ++ fortification bonus ( sorry my monkey brain cant calculate without wiki showing me the values instead )
Lets check why Leavenworth is exist
+21 flat attack bonus without any upgrades ( +23 flat attack bonus on upgrade level +1)
Note: Sousa has maximum scaling on 0.68 with leadership and Leavenworth has maximum scaling of 0.9 on health points.
There you have it, same old wheel keep going. Except inno stopped selling nugget only fort gear, now they only sell part of it. Which under this circumstances i would call it win. I tried to be simple, fair and subjective possible knowing that i damn well wasted over 75 minutes for this post and no one going to care. Well i dont care if you care Enjoy if you want but please dont come complain if you dont. I played over 5 years as a HP tank before starting on Colorado so i am well aware old struggles, with the pain knowing i wasted over 75 minutes on this i might react harshly.
I ENJOY being the Boromir in the room doesnt matter if i see the better times yet you need Boromir so he can state you the obvious.
Have fun reading it, i didnt have fun while writing it.
