First battle, found a village with a layer of walls, no spikes, then his mines and then another layer of walls. Deployed 2 giants to distract, put two wallbreakers down, bang! Blew up a holw in the first layer perfectly. According to the new AI the wb will go in and attack the next layer of wall, but no. They carry on attacking the first layer, only untill i blew up about 10 walls they go for the 2nd layer. I dont get it.

I agree so far. Not a lot of testing done yet but after my first battle I had a similar result. Blew a hole in the first wall and was going to send WBa thru that hole into the interior... Instead they kept deploying left and right of the original hole I made trying to target "T" joints on the outer wall that I didn't need to blow up.
SC seems to have missed the point of the complaints. What we were asking for was:
If I find a line in to your base and my wall breakers can reach it unimpeded, they should be able to be deployed to target that particular line without being "fooled" by corners or spikes.
The most common suggestion was to have them be deployed in a straight line somehow or to be guided in the intended direction, thus still leaving some control in the hands of the user while allowing them to function at an acceptable level.
It seems what we have instead is them operating on "auto pilot" and targetting things that are still unnecessary. This seems to take most of the strategy out of raiding, while at the same time leaving them still targeting pointless stuff.
I've only done two raids now, but I'd agree that wb AI isn't smarter at all. It's just different. Combined with the double pop this is turning into a wb nerf.
I'm with ya. Mine are going only for intersections. At least the old ones knew how to carve a path! :mad:
Agreed. So far, WBs has been changed, not smarter in any ways. We just got to learn a new techinique of using them. All update did was to make spikes and unique bases worthless. Also, two troops is overdone.
If a base has double layer thick walls, one wb will break through both layers :P
Did anyone notice that the damage area is increased?
Yeah the damage radius of WBs is like an AoE of a Lightning Spell. Way too big... lol
Wall breakers now suck even more than they did. why can't you make this very easy. Make a wall breaker a double click deploy click the wall you want to blow up then click where you want to drop him he then finds the best path to that point. This would then make wall breakers very strategic and value for space and elixir rather than a waste at the mo
moist my two pence worth
Yes, I have to agree. While I am only one raid into the new update the WB AI is not better.
2 layer base.
Blow a hole in the outer wall
Lease a couple more WB in the same spot to breach the inner wall, instead the WB ran sideways and contunued bombing the outer wall.
This is a fail. Please fix this.
P.S. please fix the WT and Mortar attack glitch also.
Thanks
