Here’s the other thread:
And yeah, individual troops that are really powerful I think are ones that can recharge themselves like Rock Worm, but generally good synergy is more powerful. However the most powerful team is crippled by a dumb AI that you can exploit. Apparently it will be harder in a patch or two; the AI engine might be purposely built like that so it consumes less processor power or comes to a decision faster, or just so that it’s at a lower difficulty setting. My team that always wins on offence almost never wins on defence.
Even Rock Worm on defence is dumb because the AI will do 4/5 of a kind brown matches before using its power, clearing the board of brown before it fires again.
Edit: or the AI might be built like that because it’s damn hard to build AI. I’m an IT programmer and I’ve tried to build an AI for a simple game once and… yeah it was hard. And it was dumb.
