Update coming soon with SkyRaider pirate ? Good or bad?

They do have that angry birds backing piggy island in the house

 

Yea he seems to only fire while his falling in, then on the ground he'll behave like a Bucc, they mention wind in the description so they must be adding this, so when you deploy them they'll be pulled in a certain direction while firing. I'd say the Gun Towers will target them anyway, maybe Bunkers too.

 

If you have a flag pole on your base, you can see wind direction....
now I wish I didn't buy a flag pole.
Time to move it to the very far corner away from everything

 

Also walls will still be needed, they aren't a waste, this is only one troop that can bypass them (at least while they're falling) in the game, Clash has a load of troops that bypass walls.

 

They'll have to add a way of telling wind direction if they're adding the feature, if not the troops will be pointless. There's also a flag on top of the Guild so having a flag makes no difference.

 

And attack in the air and land plus by pass walls seems overkill to what defense opt. They have now

 

Shoot... and there's a flag on the PH... And the guild hall...
And smoke from the blacksmith, and the tavern
All giving away wind direction

 

Maybe SantaBrute is dropping them from his sleigh?

 

I doubt any of those will even change with the wind, I can see them just adding a little directional arrow at the top of the screen when you're attacking.

 

Agreed. All the flags fly in the same direction every day.

 

Would be my guess.

I think gun towers should be able to hit airborne troops.

I hope they dont add another structure that would counter this unit, we have enough crap in the base as is. Give bunkers, and gun towers the ability.

Like Bear said they are only air born for so long, paratrooper type thing.

I think this new unit could really spice up the offensive attacks.

 

More than anything, I think this will be a severe learning curve both offensively and defensively. I'm sure the mods have thought this airborne buccaneer through, and will include defensive updates with this new offense.

 

Ugh. Even if they add a defense for it (and wind), I'm not a fan of aerial units, especially anachronistic ones. When you have 8 troops types, half with triggerable skills, it gets a bit difficult to follow....Unless you're 13, and high on energy drinks.

Plus, once a Buc loses a parachute, it's still just a Buc.

 

See what stats are on this unit if same as buc once on ground or if its a skill you get from schooling a buc who knows yet ,still flying pirates eeeehh

 

Maybe they're buccaneer cannon balls, being shot from a ship, catching some air, and landing in/around the base being attacked?

 

a big ASS(butt) machine that farts n blows them away. they get lost n become enrage n attack what Evers in infront of them due to the stench. it's call the big blows

 

I think they are an interesting addition that changes base layouts and attacking strategies without interfering with the game balance too much. Maybe they can drop behind enemy lines relatively easy, but then get picked up by defensive fire soon and in the meantime the thieves sneak in to get some l00t! awww yisssss!

 

We will see you know how pirates get Game is already offensively orientated more so then defense so we shall see.... But land and sea be my pirate way, air is for the birds.

 

Think if you have to launch them over the water? Everyone will be spreading their base again. Thats a long way to fly!
