    Question Are Base Defence Buildings Useful?

    Back in the day when 50k stats where considered OMG! base defence buildings seemed to make a difference to your overall defences. But now with players pushing up to the 100mil stat range, are base defence builds worth buying or upgrading?

    My thoughts are NO.

    Wouldn't it be good if your base defence buildings started to play a larger roll in your overall defence rating? Just a idea to throw out there, what if we have the level cap on base defence buildings raised to 20 or even 30? It would encourage more use of these buildings and reignite the purpose of actually having a base in game again.

    What's everyone else's thoughts?
    If you take a chance and succeed, it was worth it.

    If you take a chance and fail, try again.

    They currently are not worth it at all. I believe they're looking into making them relevant again.

    The only purpose of having defense buildings now is to fulfill the build x/x buildings mission. When you get over 100 buildings built, you will find it necessary to build defense buildings. Other than that, they only serve to take up space on your base and provide virtually no defense. I didn't like them before even when they did provide a significant amount of defense so I would say they should be removed from the game if anything.

    Stuck on Build 1 Bunker...So i wouldn't know. Didn't want the XP back in the day. Now it just makes me laugh that i have been playing for over 2 years and never bought a bunker of all things. (as i have all other buildings excluding gold ones)

    It would be nice to get a developers thoughts on this subject. Is there anything in the pipeline?

    They'd be worth something if their boost was a defence percentage, rather than an absolute defence increase.

    I think having them boost our defense stat is pointless now. BUT, maybe they should provide more defense against a raiding within their given proximity?? That probably wouldn't work either...

    like in Crime city new LTB defense building perhaps?

    Gree put this into CC. Do you want something similar here?

    It is expensive. It seems to do the trick though as I have successfully fought off much larger opponents lately.

    It would be great if they were more useful. That way players would upgrade them.
