I was attacked today in war and the attacker was able to jump over some of my walls that were not covered by the jump spell radius. Please see as follows:

Ignore the attachment. I was having issues attaching the images.
so, is this just going to be ignored?
Right now no one is really getting replies. Likely because of the sheer volume of bugs and flaws since the sweeper update. They've got a lot to cram into the next update. It's likely it's beenseen, just not replied to vid they are swamped.
For the record though, I have noted some flaws in spell coverage. I think they've adjusted the way it calculates the tiles it covers, leading to some ambiguity. This is evident here where it's allowed a jump where the spell just barely touches a tile the wall is placed on, while others have had troops not jump when they are clearly in the radius.
I'm not going to attempt to understand the coding involved with the way the spell works, but, in layman's terms, shouldn't it be something as simple as: "here's the circle radius of the spell, units touching, wall's touching, unit jumps wall"? Unless it comes down strictly to the tile and not the actual distance if any of that makes sense. "Circles touching tile, tiles touching wall, units touching circle, unit jumps wall." Does anyone have a dry erase board handy so we can draw some diagrams?
Yes it should, in theory, but there's also the factor that jump spells do mildly 'attract' certain troops to use it as a path to their next logical target.
The problem with many AI flaws like this is a result of progressive 'patching' of AI to change things people have moaned about, rather than a thorough 'back to the drawing board' accurate rebalancing that should be done as the playfield changes and the extra content is added.
Judging my the sheer number of different flaws and glitches identified since the sweeper update, I think it's time the game was taken back to basics and rebalanced from scratch, with a new league system and properly balanced defences and armies. I'd welcome that over any bolted on extra content!
