Well,
it is all about the stage of the game and
the situation you are in that specific moment. There are a lot of factors that will force you to change the nuke build considering the situation you are in that moment.
For example, I always found
HC nukes worst thing you can do to your nuke. In HP, tho, i was very close to change my nuke build and make all my nukes, HC nukes, cause i was in need of defense and it was a no haul. Would have been easily for me to attack/defend much better. (since i had to count mostly on my own defense). So, you have to adapt your game style all the time.
Setorines said earlier that he did sims with a standard of 9k sp and 1,8 HC. That is not what i call standard. I call standard the D build that includes swords. Sp/HC build is a faster build that you are force to go when you are under big fire, otherwise sp/sw/hc is way better than sp/hc.
Adding more LCs in your nuke, will make your nuke weaker in front of fast build defence:
But, you will do better on slower build defence:
compared to:
(not much more kill, but it is still a diffrence in favour of more LCs in nukes)
As more as you add LCs in your nuke, you will hit harder the standard D build:
Now the question of the thread was
for particularly this moment of the game. Everyone of us have a favorite standard build for our nukes.
Mine is 6500 axes, 3300 LCs, 260 rams. I am sure you have other builds, aswell.
To find best build for this stage of the game, we have to take under consideration few things:
- we are in a farming world, where LCs rocks! So going for more LCs at this stage is great.
- faster rebuild is also good, cause you can clear faster your targets, noble more which will get you more villas and you can dominate your area better.
- more than 220-230 rams are useless at this point. (as Core said).
- troops in this world at this point:
where you can see spears are not that unballanced with swords number, so, a lot of players are going for sp/sw/Hc build not sp/HC faster build.
Considering this,
for this stage of the game, in my opinion, nuke should look like this, or around this number:
5500 axes, 3600 LCs, 220 rams
(i calculated for 2100 farm population, feel free to adapt to another number adding more LCs ;P )
EDIT
I forgot to mention that the difference in time for building this amount of LCs is:
3100 LCs are build in 9,1 days
while
3700 LCs are build in 10,8 days
Almost 2 days (let's say) diffrence it is what we call "slower build". Are you sure you are sending your nukes out to clear as soon as last axe/LC/ram is built? ;P
/ALessonInNukeSize ;p
Just send moar nukes ftw.
I am sorry, but if you use those "fast build nukes' like you are using them on hitting stacks and lose 30 nukes per village to clear (and in the end get snipped), better not build them at all.
It's also how you are using your nukes (smart wise), not only send them away ;P
