Traps vs turrets

Even lvl 10 turrets can be destroyed without loss if shooting is maxed by attacker and speed is at 69. However with the new enhanced equipment there is also a window of speed that allows lvl 9 turrets to be destroyed without loss without sacrificing speed.

actually even with the new speed it needs to be 69 as when you try to hit the second row of turrets you will be hit by the last row i believe so the theory is still stuck at 69.

(this is not checked but merely an addition to the speed being 69 theory. whaty rider suggested may be right but the theory doesnt look like iit will work)

Well today I saw someone having troops out. Stupiditly I attacked with Catapults only. I'm a low level, only attacked with 400 cats. My opponent had lv3 traps and took down half my fleet. Luckily I didn't lose any prestige since I still won.

If you build a trap and you meant to build a turret, can you switch the two? I want turrets now instead of traps.

Turrets are what i used after level 12 or so, traps were easy upkeep to start but innefective during high levels.

Turrets: (Lvl 10)

Advantages
-Decent damage
-Increases field length and so changes the outcome of the battle
-Shoots from a far distance.

Disadvantages
-Could be taken down if your opponents cats move 99.

Traps

Advantages
-Enemy has to lose troops
-Enemy troops can be converted into your own

Disadvantages
-Troops killed are minimal
-Cant really change how the battle goes.

before i sleep, i always make 249 cats and 599 horses, so ppl just had to wait till they were made then they killed them, so i lost 4k prestige per city with my 3 cities it was 12k prestige per day. now when some1 attacks my city, with lvl 10 turrets, they lost more troops than they kill, so i dont lose prestige actually this is the only advantages that lvl 10 turrets have, cuz if u got 30k+ prestige sitting on ur city, i dont care if u got turrets or traps i will kill them and i will get prestige

for the disadvantage in turrets the 99 speed thing is so rare to see that its not really a disadvantage...

the 99 speed thing is an advatage and a disadvantage.

advantage for attacker because it means the turrets can be destroyed with 0 losses. but a disadvantage as the attacker might have lower speed than the defender which means in a real battle the defender will get the first hit as well which puts the attacker even further off the pace with the battle. (i would be 100 ranks lower down if id left my speed at 99)

yes i agree with the ranks thingy completely! 100 speed is much better
