Balloon AI Improvement

Hello SC and fellow Clashers.

My request is to improve the Balloon's AI. What I'm talking about specifically is that after the Balloons take out all the defenses, they cluster up into one or two groups of absolute destruction. What I ,along with many other Clashers, are concerned about is that the cluster of death is not necessary(despite how cool that sounds). When the cluster forms, Balloons have more than enough fire-power to take down the remaining structures. This also slows down the battle. If the Balloons split up into smaller groups of 3-5, they would clear up the remaining buildings much faster. The cluster event has cost me many stars in war attacks, which cost my clan a couple of losses in war:eek:. What I ask is that SuperCell improve the Balloon's AI by making them split up into smaller groups after all defences are destroyed.

Thank you for your time. Any constructive criticism on this is welcome.

Clash on!

I loon hard and im starting to use Lavaloonion trust me when I say balloons are fine right now

This is just how AI works. When all but 1 defense is destroyed, the balloons will croud it. When it's destroyed, they just find the nearest building, causing them to all go for the same building in a giant swarm. It's like that for pretty much every troop, and sc won't change it for only 1 troop. Sorry if I sound rude, but that's just how the game is. Deal with it.

That is interesting, because almost every other unit, from my understanding, spread out around a building they are attacking, which causes them to occasionally split up and held elsewhere, because part of them are closer to a different eligible target. Dragons are very notorious for splitting up and wandering in an odd fashion.

Balloons I can see grouping up since there are fewer targets nearby, from being defence building favored, to cause a split up in the group, since thier 'attack range' is near 0, or is 0, and have to be in a tight group over a target, unlike dragons, where they can sit 1-2 titles away, and fry a target with a smaller splash damage attack, then go thier own way.

You might want to just change your tactic on use, and.. like most any other unit, spread them out. And if you are, see if you should widen the deployment, or deply balloons in split up groups in different directions.

Other than that, and you knew that already, best I can say is look up how AI pathing, as in what likely direction they will go.

they're working as intended

Take the average of the comments. In some situations, it can almost perfectly calculate what is actually there.

So with enough good data points, you might be able to tell if something is actually OP or too nerfed in-game! :D Who knew crowds of people could be so smart?

I think all troops are balanced. Just certain variations of attacks are over powered and need balancing since they came after the troop was introduced.(lavaloonion.)

the bloons are not an issue like others have said. I think the grouping is just normal as ALL troops do this. You even have a queen going for wall. A better idea is ai improvement for heroes

This is one of the first time I enjoyed the idea of someone with less than 250 posts...

Some of you guys are right. Only troops that go after defences primarily tend to cluster up. They may be working as intended but what I asked for was some improvement. But yeah, that would make the Balloon way too OP than it already is. However, SuperCell can balance the Balloon by nerfing some of the damage and making them spread out after all defences are destroyed. How does that sound?
