They have been fair for the most part. This time, however, supercell has greatly damaged the gameplay. Troops seem to purposely not go straight. Purposely. Troops seem to run right past targets, and attack whatever random thing is around. Not just myself, but a lot of people will stop playing this game if this continues to be the programming of the troops. C'mon, i know you all wanna make money, thats fine. I have spent quite a bit. But forcing me to use a certain spell or troop is where i draw the line. I wont do this much longer.

The new AI causes troops to target one wall section instead of a bunch of them. How is that dumb? Its rather realistic actually. If you and a bunch of friends wanted to knock down a stone wall in some abandoned park, would you all throw stones at one spot? Or each of you at a different spot? The wall section hit by everyone at once will fall sooner and allow you to get through it faster.

The new AI for the hero's keeps them close to home base where they can be protected by other defensive structures.... Again, how is that making them dumber?

Archers and Barbs have always been rather A.D.D in their targeting methods, but if you watch them, they go for the closest building. Weather its a barracks, or a defensive tower does not matter. If you want troops that target defenses first, use the ones with AI designed for it, if you want troops that go after resources first, use those. Try stepping away from the BARCH box and you will find your troop AI is very effective.

Good: Wbs has splash damaged, it's great that they don't run to a thinner wall when they can break double wall
Bad: Giants and others will attack double wall if it 's closest to them, even if there is a single wall few block down

2. Wbs- and this really annoy me- Wbs will target a piece where one of your deployed troops has been target. Make them much easier to be killed by Mortars. In addition, sometime you want wbs to target a different places, but it run over to the piece of wall that has been targeted by other troops. You can't use other troops to distract as good as before.

3. Wbs- again, yes- and troops doesn't tend to attack "join" pieces anymore. Before the update, they often attack join pieces whenever possible. Not anymore.

In short, troops is dumper :( especially wbs. I like the old wbs

You haven't noticed WB blowing an already opened section? It is happening all the time. First wave blows a hole, second wave, deployed several seconds later, blows a wall segment off the same opening. What 3 squares wasn't a big enough hole?

My AQ decided attacking a wall, all by herself, on an empty compartment was a better thing to do than just follow the archers around a near by corner. The archers knew better, she just turned and started hitting a wall for no reason.

Wizzies walking 5-6 segments past a cannon to get a building much further down.

AQ deciding she would rather hit a wall instead of going to an opening 6 squares away(different from above).

Barb King in an open section, free run to a TH, turns and attacks a wall to get to a tower instead.

I am not saying it is intentional to make us use the jump spell, but they have been tweaking AI for sure.

why shud the troops else where come to jump like a magnet...troops leave all around and just jump..

wb..as explained above is ridiculous..

& this update has made giants split...somehow they decide to form separate groups and attack instead of a single group..

the drags were cranky even before..they reach a TH and suddenly decide to turn and attack a nearby object ???

I am lvl 127 but had to come down after this update from masters 2...

I am going to officially EAT my words right now. **omg, somebody call guinness!**

Today, during battle day of my clans war I was watching some replays. It became increasingly obvious that the Archer, barbs, and wizards (even a giant once) are no longer behaving normally. NOT just attacking one wall together, but attacking walls randomly when they do not need to! It has thus far cost my clan only 1 star that I can see, but that is bound to add up.

Yup, In more than one replay a troop would attack a wall rather than the building that is LITERALLY 2-3 squares away. No walls in the way, and before the update these troops WOULD have gone towards the exposed building, not the wall.

Now, I am hopeing that it is a glitch in how they changed the wall targeting system. And I hope it gets fixed. I am going to report it as a glitch/bug and see what happens.
