Reduce re-arm costs of Giant Bomb

The Giant Bomb, while handy is terribly overpriced. [Seeking Air Mines also but not in this topic]

Facts
Lv 4, max level Giant Bomb
DPS: 250
Re-arm: 20,000 gold

Lv 6, max level small Bomb
DPS: 42
Re-arm: 900 gold

6 x max level small Bombs
DPS: 252
Re-arm: 5,400

How is that possible? 6 small bombs have the slightly more power compared to one Giant Bomb...yet cost almost 4 times as much?

You could argue bonus Hog damage, but the Hog is one of 16 troops. Or 21 troops if you count heroes, skeletons, lava pups & golemites.

Paying an extra 15,000 for that is complete nonsense.

The Giant Bomb should be more around the cost of 6,000 to 10,000 gold to re-arm at max level.

Bombs are just scattered throughout the base and the giant Bomb does less combined damage but in one blast. The price right now is fine

But if you happen to put those 6 small bombs right next to each other the DPS is greater. And significantly cheaper.

I'm thinking maybe small bombs explode individually (If you put 6 next to each other they rarely all explode when a troop comes over), while the BB is a giant blast. I think a heal spell can keep a group of archers' health up because the small bombs don't explode all together. Also, it takes 2 more tiles of space for 2 more damage.

I do see your point though, 15k for those small advantages is a bit much.

Also, you should change DPS (Damage per second) to just Damage. They don't have a consistent fire rate. :p

Forgot to mention BBs also do 1.5x damage to hog riders.

bigger price because it deals greater damage rather than bombs, it would be a waste to just clump them all together in one spot when the giant bomb can do their work. and oh, right. giant bombs have damage multiplier applied against hog riders.

So you admit a Giant Bomb and 6 small bombs does the same thing right?

So it makes no sense to pay 4x as much.

yep they do the same thing. it's just that 6 bombs vs. hogs, the enemy can still use a heal spell. *they survived!*, while with the giant bomb, it can instakill hogs..
