Bases are getting stronger, it's a fact. It seems most used armies to tackle them now need to be used with spells: hogs, balloonions, gowiwi, etc. Most of the time it takes way longer to cook spells than the actual troops.
30 and 45 mins per spell might be too much now, spells for gowiwi take over 3 hrs to cook! How about we cut spells to 15 and 20 mins? Is it a reasonable request?
I don't think so. They already halfed the spell train time, and the spell times now fit in nicely with my army.
They cut most of them in 1/4 and then in 1/2 later. I don't think it should be any quicker. Otherwise zappers would be unstoppable
What is your army though? Could be that you only need spells occasionally.Quote:

I saw no more lightning attacks during those times than at regular spell training times. I dont think reducing spell training times would have much impact on game play other than making players happy but it would certainly have an impact on SC's pocket book as the number of players gemming their spells to match they're army build times would be reduced. Because of that i dont think we will see any more reductions in spell training time.Quote:

1 hour is a good time for a strong army trouble is now it takes 1 hour for the troops then 2-3 hours for the spells and 3 hours for the heroes. The game is no fun when you can only raid every 3 hours.
I think they should cut spell time by ¼ and cap hero regen time at 1 hour, this way we can spend more time actually playing and enjoying the game rather than sitting with full camps waiting on heroes and spells. This would mean we could do a decent raid every hour or so which is still a decent time to wait.
Will also give a reason to boost barracks since currently there is no point since a boosted spell factory produces about the same rate as an unboosted barracks.
Those saying they used to be longer. This is true but bases were also a lot weaker and you could get by without spells and heroes, trying to beat any well leveled TH10 or even 9 without spells now is certain to fail
