Pyro maniacs and marauders ineffective

daniel freed

The pyromaniacs are supposed to cause more damage if used to attack but i cant say i have noticed any difference between fires caused by normal vets and those caused by Pyros.
We dont get many pyros so on the rare occasion we do get them i think they should cause alot more damage than they actually do. This is not just me, others when asked also say the pyros make very little difference when used. And the same goes for the Marauders. I dont notice any difference in the amount of plunder gotten when i have used marauders instead of Vets.
Can i get some opinions from others on this.

what level are you?

I think that if GGE displayed the effectiveness of the pyro's in percentage, it would comfort me knowing that they are actually doing something. Because right now I am operating on the base assumption that the pyro's actually cause more damage, even though I don't have stats, or haven't tried to prove that they do work.

Maybe a more detailed battle report would help this situation? so a breakdown of what damage different troops did and what loot they took and what color dresses they were wearing at the time?

You can clearly see how much marauders carry, as for the pyros GGS probably don't know if they work or not.

I'd say the colossus is only really worth doing once you get to higher levels and the huge amount of resources used can be spared for the extra bit of po. By this point you won't be getting the farmers any more (I havn't seen them for months)... My advice here would be to still take the money. save your recs by getting several parks or castle gardens for the same cost as the colossus would have been. That way you get the farmers coins and five times the po you would have had from the colossal (see what I did there) waste of recs. That's just an opinion though :-)

the colossus is there to make more PO and take up less space it will help when ur a high level and low on space

I disagree, the colossus is good for when you are a high level, with your castles built. They give you extra PO and let you use up those resources instead of letting them sit around.

Maruaders carry 70 loot each, vet Macemen carry 32 each so there is a distinct difference there.

Pyros? Who knows it doesn't actually give any numerical statisitic to how much more damage they cause to buildings

with the greatest possible respect I don't think you read my post properly dude. I said the colossus is only worth doing once you get to a high level. Not that it isn't worth doing. My point was that when you are a lower level it is more worth while building than doing the colossus, better to wait and do the colossus when you can generate the resources to make a statue worth having.
this has gone off topic anyway so fin!

Oh yes, sorry. But in that case, I agree.

I am a level48, however that dont have any bearing on my complaint. My complaint is that when i use Pyros i expect them to do what is advertised. However i do not notice any greater number of fires in my enemies castle. Also when i have been hit by pyros my fires are usually around 10% damage, same as usual.

Really i just wanna be naaaasty and burn people aagghh lol :-)
