Ridiculous overpowered Rare Units

Greetings! This is a Story of Virtual Warring Nations in a Stalemate.

First, I do consider myself as a Newbie as Ive only won 14 games and lost 12, but I do have a decent kill rate.

The Last Game I played was hosted by a Guest and enabled the chances of Rare Units. The Standout between 8 players were remarkable. I managed to take out 2, the rest of us expanded in our very own respective continents. I myself is occupying Europe, Northern Africa and pretty much All of Russia.

The standoff.

The Axis:
Europe > Israel and Iran
Asia > Australia
Africa < Europe

The Allies
North America and South America.
______________________________________

Here's how the story goes: (Apologies, English is not my Mother tongue)

We, the Axis were planning to occupy Northern America as it ranks 3rd from the over-all SP pool and was by-far pars with Asia and I, Europe.

With both of us having our Transports & Support Units, including a dozen of ICBMs (High change of Rare Unit: Costs 5k cash and does only 120 ATK/DEF)
I, leading towards East Coast and Asia towards the West (With Africa doing nothing) YET we were intercepted by something...unfathomable.

Auroras.

Auroras costs around 2k cash and has 120 ATK/DEF, 6 of em (700+ ATK /700+DEF) was enough to wipe out almost everything I had. Asia took the blow and lost everything. We too stunned to visualize what happened and rushed into building another armada which was again, completely obliterated.

Asia and I, Europe had no choice but to end our relation with Africa and Australia. With I occupying its Capital and with him taking over Australia.

The remaining belligerents: North and South America against Europe and Asia.
We could pretty much annihilate South America yet the looming horror with the hovering Auroras were undeniable and defiantly, we stand no chance.

It ended up in a stalemate. I myself ended up with only 15 Nukes (The previous 12 were lost from the conflict) to defend myself against an impending Invasion and with Asia having a thousand troops.

We did find out that North America was holding at least over Hundred Auroras yet it never occurred to him he could take both of us in a snap. Not to mention he also has dozen of Nukes. Eventually, it ended with all of us in a tension of warring fallout. With them having the upperhand. (With the exception of South America of course)

2 and a Half Hours of tension. Akin to the Cold War. The experience was uncanny. Though i was on top, it felt like I was the weakest amongst all of us.
_______________________________________________________________________

What bothers me is the existence of Auroras. A unit so overpowered that it can swept whole of Europe and pretty much all of Asia.

Auroras.
Cost: 2000 Cash.
ATK: 120, DEF: 120
Range: Quadrupled of an ordinary Fighter Plane

against

ICBMs
Cost: 5000 Cash
ATK 120, DEF:120
Range: Tendfold of an Ordinary Fighter plane. Pretty much can travel from Continent to continent.

Question is, why the hell would atWar create such impenetrable Unit?
The scale of winning against these monstrosity is impossible. It took me a dozen of ICBMs to take out less than 10 Auroras.

For the Love of Cthulhu, take them out of the game.

Where does the Community stand on this?

Thats why rares should always be disabled.

I swear I could take both of the American Continents during the said Game. I could even take my ally yet I value our alliance.

If not for those Auroras...

Don't play games with rares. I feel sorry for you mate, but there is a simple, time saving solution.

the community stands in that after rank 5 most games have rares disabled and for good reason

Also, I was left with +7k per turn which was enough for 1 Nuke per turn.
SA was having around +10k per turn yet her territories doesnt have the ability to produce Nukes nor auroras
Asia was around +15k per turn, which was enough to supply the upkeep of her troops and nukes.

NA on the other hand has +15k per turn, which was 7 Auroras per turn.

What the hell is wrong with you atWar?

Rare be or not, its defiantly overpowered for a single Jet that can head on against a Nuclear Warhead.

Thread answered already.Topic locked.

Yeah, if you don't change the rare units settings, in which only premiums have access in, then the game will have the rare units disabled by itself.

Also, the countries' economy is based off on real life statistics. Just saying. A country's economy may be different only in scenarios or custom maps because the creator can edit those stuff.

Just don't play maps with rare units, simple as that.

I thought i locked this wtf.My powers have gone weak

Well, if it's not locked yet, here's something funny

andartes believes he is fit for MOD. LOOLOLOL

If I'm not wrong, they are custom units made by someone, it's a custom map. Rare units can't be created in World Map, they can only be found.
Anyway, never play with rares. They are really unfair and totally luck based.

..

Custom map simply don't play unknown custom map. Most maps(lately) are not made based on how the gaming Att/Def system should work instead the map produces tons of cash with cheap overpowered units.

Complain to the custom maps maker with a pm....

There is no reason for you to make thread like this
You don't like somebodys units don't play their map

How would I know? Im a new Player. Pffft
Anywho, many thanks to everyone who responded. Will try to avoid Custom Maps, did have fun with LOTR/GoT scenarios.

But still, this is ridiculous for atWar to tolerate such madness.

^_^ I expect common sense (example there being a list of default units in the thread.. it being the whole point of the thread)

Hue welcome to AW

Does common sense applies on venturing out in an unknown World, in this game, on a new game?
How would I know it was a Custom Map? As it did look like an ordinary World Map.

Duh

Duh

Some of the custom maps are very well balanced and have reasonable units or even just the basic units. Just make sure you check the unit list when you join a new map. Make sure it suits your standards.

There are many points of frustration in AW. This is not a well-polished strategy game. It allows players alot of freedom in how they play. I think you'll discover that custom maps is one of many potential issues you'll run into. You will learn to avoid the things you don't like as you further venture into the game. Have fun exploring
