Bombers

The idea that Sky Menace Bombers should be nerfed is silly. If it needs it can we not make the Bomber a 6/5 unit to start with instead?

I for one think sky menace is in for a huge nerf. More and more people are useing it and it is takeing the fun out of the game. Although in all fairness I don't see how they can nerf the bomber itself anymore. I would suggest nerfing their infantry defence. That way their bombers still with low defence defend first even with infantry in a stack or in a city that way they can be killed before their air blitz takes too much ground and they become unbeatable by turn 4.

Sky Menace has it's uses, but it isn't OP. It just takes the least upgrades to use properly. Thus a rank 5/6 with it can match and beat ranks 7/8+ in bigger games and such. Basically I'm saying it's strong right away. Otherwise the defence of SM already has -1 to the bombers, to nerf the infantry defence would break the strategy. It actually is a pretty balanced strategy, probably the most balanced.

Instead we should be focusing on significant or subtle boosts to the weaker strategies to make them viable. We don't need to keep nerfing things, things have been nerfed into obscurity already.

My post was a bit unclear actually. I meant the bomber defence nerf, from 6 to 5, shouldn't be there; the bomber unit should be 6 attack 5 defence to start with. Non Sky Menace Bombers shouldn't be stronger in defence than SM bombers.

SM doesn't need to be nerfed, it is fine as it is. The fact that it's actually one of the few strategies which one can play without putting himself at a disadvantage in 1v1 doesn't make it OP.
See Desu's post for more reasonable suggestions concerning strategies.

How much of the thread did you read?

Lol at no one understanding cherse. I for one agree with the original post; it doesn't make sense that we should be nerfing the main unit in comparison to other strategies. The bomber category is Air: Main Attack; there's no reason it should be a defencive unit. Perhaps in place of the bomber def nerf, SM would nerf infantry defence?

SM is not OP, it requires moneys, loads of the money. SM is a decent strat but is beatable, Spain can just barely take Rome and Paris in the 1st turn, just send like 5 infs and over 7 bombers and you could beat the expansion!

Though SM could be veeery powerful in 15K.
