Open letter to EA regarding game theory and Clash of the Clones
Part 2
What is my incentive to attack a target with more than 1 nerd? If both the attacker and attacked get paid out on defending a target, what difference does it make if I use 1 or 20 nerds? It takes a lot more time to completely destroy a target with 1 nerd. But since most encounters end in a defense, you might as well attack more targets with the same number of nerds.
I realize the makers of Tapped Out were not planning on designing an RTS game. And this expansion is just a fun extra. I just thought I'd point a few holes that I found.
