Confirmed QoL changes coming:
Siege Machines - The game will automatically default to the last deployment you used. If you used a Siege Machine in your last attack, it will default to that setting for your next attack. If you didn't use a Siege Machine and just deployed CC troops normally, your next attack will use that setting instead. 

  • Status: Next update.

Siege Machines - Donating Siege Machines will now provide 30XP instead of 1XP.

  • Status: Next update.



So, we know the above is coming with the next update from the first post of the quality of life sticky thread. However, that thread is really designed for offering ideas, not debating them. There has been a bit of debate on this change in that thread and in other threads so I figured I would start a thread to discuss this change specifically. The change to increase donations to 30XP seems like a good choice that almost all would agree with. I’d like to see it count as 30 donation spaces too, but the XP change is good.

The default option change isn’t quite as universally loved. For me, personally, it will be better because I always use my SM on every attack. I would prefer a toggle be added to the home base much like the warden ground/air toggle (and would like the attack screen to add an option to change the warden much like the SM), but, overall this new default will be a benefit for me.

However, for players used to not using their SMs on general raids and only using them on war raids, this could cause some war attacks to go ahead without the SM being used. Those players will often be used to having a donated SM with the current default of “on” and now their default might be to only use the cc troops without the SM if their last attack didn’t use the SM.

Perhaps it would be better if it defaulted to your last multiplayer raid for your next multiplayer raid and for war raids it defaulted to your last war attack? Or always set to default of “on” for war attacks?
