Blitz is OP. +3 movement and +2 view range for only -1 def? now blitz is a lot playlable in small maps and funds, in small scale wars, in rushing, and the INCREDIBLY EASY way to make walls winth militias. Blitz is not about defend, you get a bettle chance emplying a city and attaking it next turn thad defending, but -1def insteat of -2def is just making it all arounds ( refering thad is good in all ways, in all funds, in eitle small or wide maps, for attack and for defend [yet the walls make blitz easy to defend in one or other way. ] ) I dont see like bliz is according winth what " fast attack " mean.

Blitz does not need to defend, you need to use up all your opponent reinforcement to win.

btw, best defense is walls

thinking of large maps when i said this if you are wondering

since Blitzkrieg is about attack, i will agree with you:
-2 defense +3 range +2 attack, everyone happy.

now what about nerfing PD
i propose -2 attack to all units

It's only been 2 days since the changes, everybody relax, none of you are in a position of determining what the different strategies need after such a short period, including myself. Let's wait a few weeks and we'll adjust with experience. And I know for some of you some strategies are in obvious need of boosts or nerfs, but even then, wait and see. For example, a while ago with old gc, no one thought it a strong strategy for a long time, until it was discovered more deeply and became popular out of nowhere.

oops with blitz no doubt, Fortifying a position with IF, planes, or PD, or turnblocking and ambushing blitz armies with ANYTHING will give you throw a brick at a blitz user's head. Giant 60 convenient, fast, hard hitting death stacks have a 60 defense penalty that makes them vulnerable, and smaller squads can be forgotten, harder to micro, TB, and can die attacking defenders since essentially, your just playing with regular units that just move faster with paperthin armor

your affilmation is only correct in World games, but even in world games ONE WALL can charge ALL THE GAME!!! btw, Blitz can overexpand RA, PD, of couse IF, and by walling SM citys or stack, is easy cake too!. remember is easy to wall winth blitz.

Also winth -1 def is not hard to defend, and since you have fast militias the most cost-efficient unti in AW, you hardly will manage to break EVERY wall ( unless you playing against a non expert, haha )

If you play blitz, you should acknowledge that the damage penalty can be pretty painful, you will lose alot of defensive battles, or at the least take alot of casualties. The -2 was horrendous. there was no room for defense, it causes alot of pressure trying to always be on the offense, at least with -1 there a bit of breathing space. While you can wall an enemy stack, it's not always 100% pulloffable. Being able to use militia is cost efficient, but once your in larger scale battles, it becomes less priority when balancing time and effort to make militia walls.

You can use militia captured from cities to make walls, but once they die theres not much else to either A. attack or B. Defend and you should never defend with blitz. If you try to stack 15 troops of any kind in a say a vital capitol, that's a -15 defense penalty already, and your enemy WILL have an additional attack over you (Unless he's using no strat because he was lazy to pick one haha) ranging from 1-3 per unit that he owns that recieves a buff due to his strat. So for example Sky mence (Which has the range of blitz) can use bombers with an addition +2, or even a none strat user could attack with a combo of say infantry, helicopters, and tanks. Your infantry would be ripped apart by helicopters, followed up by infantry/tanks, and then your tanks and militia would be nonexistant.

-2 with Blitz is VERY punishing, -1 offers you to at least make a comeback if your main army(s) get attacked. Blitz's Militia wall and other pros can be easily countered by the pros of other strats.

Wouldn't say IF needs a boost, just remove the[still existing] range nerf it has on its transports.

That nerf was there before the -1 hp nerf and is now not needed. I(and others) have argued about removing it because IF has been nerfed enough by the -1hp. Sure the admins partially removed this range nerf, but didn't completely remove it. If you look at IF right now you'll notice that everything has -2 range, but both types of transport have -3 range. Just make it -2 just like the rest and it'll be fine.
