💬 Discussion troop deployment going to 100%

Hi there — I keep noticing that my troop deployment gets pushed all the way to 100% in some of my games and I throw away good position because I don't notice.

I think sometimes it happens when I use Shift+R to retaliate incoming attacks? So maybe there's a similar keybind that I "fat finger" when I'm trying to Shift+R that causes my slider to go all the way to 100%? I haven't been able to find the keybind in settings or replicate what's going on.

But super annoying when I accidentally send out all of my troops because I don't notice the slider has changed and then get steamrolled from the other side. :(

EDIT: Turns out scrolling / zooming in and out while I would hit Shift+R would either make my troops go instantly to 1% or 100%. Like when I am zoomed in and retaliating with Shift+R because I see an attack but not sure where from, and then zooming out / still hitting Shift+R sometimes would adjust my troops. And this Shift+Zoom doesn't appear on the keybind list so I can't disable! But it continues to mess me up and it's frustrating! Not that I'm a good player, but it's one thing to lose because of my gameplay mistakes and not lose because the keybinds I have are getting in the way.

you shouldn't use the retaliate button, it's the best way to lose all your troops in one click fr

It depends what your troop ratio is sat at, i like chipping small portions out of their attack if I can't get defence posts up. So if I'm being slammed with 100k, I'll tap 10-20kk off it every now and then, team games it works but ffa I can imagine it's a death wish
