5 hypothesis: assault options are already strong, but even the best assault options can still easily be made untennable in teamgames through cooperation between porcing allies/a lack of cooperation from attackers - players work together to defend but most are too noob to work together to attack. the solution is the unit type designed to hurt defences without needing to be attacked by them, except it is massively hardcountered and not very effective. 5 hypothesis: assault options are already strong, but even the best assault options can still easily be made untennable in teamgames through cooperation between porcing allies/a lack of cooperation from attackers - players work together to defend but most are too noob to work together to attack. the solution is the unit type designed to hurt defences without needing to be attacked by them, except it is massively hardcountered and not very effective.

13 [quote]If players can attack from behind their own defensive lines with impunity, they will build large defensive lines to defend their big artillery ball and they wont venture out from them. Then they will build shields to protect from enemy artillery, huge impenetrable shield bubbles. And the front line will never move.[/quote] 13 [quote]If players can attack from behind their own defensive lines with impunity, they will build large defensive lines to defend their big artillery ball and they wont venture out from them.

15 shielding a whole front has a prohibitive cost and can be penetrated at any one point via EMP. forcing an opponent to spam shields is a victory, since it makes breaking through his lines elsewhere with assaults much easier and weakens his economy. 15 shielding a whole front has a prohibitive cost and can be penetrated at any one point via EMP. forcing an opponent to spam shields is a victory, since it makes breaking through his lines elsewhere with assaults much easier and weakens his economy.

18 Lastly, please actually read what I suggested. Namely, what I suggested was HP buffs for various artillery units, nothing else ( except a turn rate boost to pillager) . The only interaction this will noteably affect is napalm bomber vs light artillery and shadow vs heavy. 18 Lastly, please actually read what I suggested.

Currently good players dont use artillery in team-games unless they are experimenting, as it is UP.
