How to counter tannenbaums?

Postby calleharnemark » Mon Feb 11, 2013 3:13 pm

Hello me and ryankill have played a lot lately and I tried dragons and frankensteins to counter tannenbaums luck. 2 of the best defensive races. Plus they seem to have really good defense too. Is this race too OP or is there a way to counter that racial bonus without turning off boosts in game? Or I say we make a race with 20 % defense bonus somehow in just some case to counter this. I noticed lot of the rolls I lose is like 43-28. They usually get more 30. Or often over 40. Which I almost never get. Usually he gets a number where the difference is like 15-20 +more.

I started using snowflakes and directly saw a decrease in the rolls and the chances of winning. Too bad snowflakes only neutralize them cuz snowflakes 8 raley get more than 32 with an 8 and have quite decent rolls. So it's just going on pure luck. Tannenbaums still have an advantage if they avoid snowflakes and take other players who can't counter them and there by grow enough to defeat snowflakes. Unless snowflakes attack of course. Which would really tempt people to ally with snowflakes if they have bonuses, their opponent has none and they are suddenly 2 against one. So this is not a perfect solution. We must find a way to counter them.

Tannenbaums bonus is right there - 20% increase in attack which pretty much gives them a 100% chance of winning a 8vs8 battle. In attrition this is very weak as whenever they win a battle because of it they always drop down to 1 man, making other abilities more useful. However in Hardcore - where you probably played against it - they are really powerful, however once they deploy their boosts they often can't use them again, choosing between using each for offence or defence. Also don't leave your 8's unguarded, even from 2 spaces away, because 6vs8 still has a decent chance of winning.

There is something wrong. I lost 8v3 twice in a row (with defence boost). And lost 8v4. Luck can counter them.

Make a race with the opposite if tannenbaums abilities... When you attack someone {with a bonus} and win it automatically gets a shield on it.
Well this isnt quite opposite but it would be cool
