Suggestion: Guard Towers

[Max]

Guards =>

Guards are a strictly defensive building, worth 500 defense points each.

Could we not decrease the amount of defence points, since some poeple tempt to take advantage and lock the lands for a nice period of time.

I wouldn't think that's too much of a problem. To get enough guards to be unbreakable, it repuires large amounts of land, and takes emense quantities of cash to demolish and rebuild, since running turns with 50% of your land in guards isn't profitable. Also, that's what the destroy structures hawk mission is for. And, of course, you can always mass one type of troop, and probably be able to break all but the best guard defenses.

I tried to break someone with 40K land and 350K otters. While I had 2.7 mill.. Still I managed to fail my attack.

did you try destroy structures hawk mission on your oponent?

Health and experience also affect your attack strength. As well as racial bonuses...

It took around 12 million rats (I had 16 million) to break someone when they only had 2 million. Guards do seem pretty powerful.

[Max]

Stop talking about Hawks!!! Hawks are not the problem here... IT ISN`T NORMAL! that you can only break someone with Hawks... The onse defending this are the onse using Guard Towers

Part of the point of the game is that you should be able to defend...

Some information:

1 tower defends vs. 250 Mice
1 tower defends vs. 167 Squirrels
1 tower defends vs. 100 Hares
1 tower defends vs. 71 Otters

10,000 towers defends vs. 2,500,000 Mice
10,000 towers defends vs. 1,666,667 Squirrels
10,000 towers defends vs. 1,000,000 Hares
10,000 towers defends vs. 714,285 Otters

The average for land in the game is around 10,000. That would mean that the average player has to put ALL their land into towers to defend against even a small army.

Must have been health, in your case. That, or the enemy had the defensive hero and a racial defense bonus...

Guards alone are nothing. Guard + army means you are unbreakable with troops. Then the hawk massers swarm and you die. I tried it and realized later that guardless was probably better in an environment where hawk battle captured so much.
