Better ai for mortar

When i get attacked my mortar always goes for groups of 2-3 archers/barbs or any other tier 1, while there are groups of 10+ next to that group. For a future update i think supercell should improve the mortars ai, so it attacks larger groups as opposed to the smaller ones

What level is your mortar?

In my opinion, the mortar is just fine

Agreed- but still if his mortar is a low level it could explain the lack of damage it does.

Well the real problem is that if the mortars were to be programmed to target larger groups of tier 1 troops, it would be WAY OP cuz giants and golems would no longer be good meatbags

My mortars are level 6, and my original idea is that they are strong enough, but they should attack larger groups instead of smaller ones

No that would be horribly imbalanced. It would make wizards and witches useless. You have to consider this is competitive play.

Mortars are meant to be stupid. lol

NO.

If you want better coverage then place your mortars more intelligently.

Strategies such as "ring-around-the-rosie" is made for making mortars stupid and go for 1-3 grouped archers.


:rolleyes:

Yes I agree the mortar shouldn't even have an ai. The game programs it to attack ALL TROOPS. And yes it would be op, archers would be pointless.

No, otherwise the mortar would be an overpowered defense. It's fine as it is now. Try moving your mortar positions around. I think you're exaggerating that it ALWAYS goes after smaller groups. It must go after larger group sometimes because the size of the group does not impact its AI. It just attacks whatever enters its radius first.

The OP never complained about low damage though. They were complaining about who it targets (small groups instead of large ones)

This doesn't make sense. Every defense has to have an AI. Even having a set radius/range is considered AI. Hwo would any defense know who/when to attack if it didn't have AI? :confused:
