The 49% Fail

[victort]

depends on the TH your attacking .... it's on wiki somewhere, tells you exactly how many buildings you need at each level ... think the discrepancy comes from rounding and the fact not everyone has everything .......... (i seem to remeber)

When barching carry a lightning spell or two for these exact instances. Some bldgs count for more. One lightning is enough to take out a builder hut or a hero pad for that last percent. Two lightnings will take out a mortar for usually 2%.

What he said. If you're at 49%, one lightning on a builder's hut should do the trick

So you have never done a 98% 1 star hog riders attack ?

[vinnyXo]

depends how many building the guys has and how many 0.xx percent you have you can't see. I never lose at 49% If I lose a barch, its below 40% because gbs everywhere

I don't think it changes, because I have had something happen where Im at 48% and I get 2 percent more and win, I think it's more of a thing of luck and chance.

Hi All,

I am almost certain that everyone has had one of those 49% loss in a battle. This is very irritating and can lead to a lot of anger (I am sure phones and tablets have been broken/smashed).

I have lost many times at 49% as I Barch a lot. This happens a lot when I have 1 or both heroes upgrading.

However, I have noticed that at times, a defensive building will give me 2%. Other times, the same or another defensive building gives me 1%. This is evident when I have last few troops or lightning spells remaining and according to the calcultations, it should give me 50%... However I end up losing with 49%.

Now my question is... Is there some sort of fix when it comes to 49% losses? Why does the building percentage change when so close to the 50% win?

Thoughts would be much appreciated.

It's quite simple. Every building is worth an equal amount. If the defender has 20 buildings, each building will be worth 5%. It doesn't matter if it's a lowly builder hut or the town hall.

The issue you think you are seeing is when the percentages are not integer values. For example when the defender has 40 buildings, each building is worth 2.5%. Because the display does not show fractional percentages, the rounding makes it appear as though they give you differing amounts. This means the first building may look like it gives 3% and the second building 2% when in fact they both gave you 2.5%.

different buildings do not have set percentages, its just rounded to the nearest percent

So destroying buildings would give you 1%,1%,1%,1%,2% repeate since it can only give round percentages.

mega facepalm...

Glad to hear I am not alone. 50% means 50% of all buildings and Hero pads, so the first building you destroy is 2%, but 3 buildings may be 3%. What I have noticed at the very end and I am using lightning to get that 50%, 49% is 1 more building, 48% is two buildings, 47% is two buildings, 46% is four buildings. Good luck!

hmm interesting
