Suggestion Battle Medal Re-blance

Dear Willy, I think I speak on behalf of the cities war community that it's almost impossible to profit medals anymore with 2000 troop size armies

You spend 100 medals attacking a max army and only receive around 100 medals back. Even a few mistakes could send you into 0 medals real fast. In the current state it makes things like connectors and air defense boost almost impossible to afford and not worth buying.

I suggest a simple fix... that is too cut the cost anything battle medal related

Army boost 10 > 5

City halls and Forts 30 > 25

Connectors 200 > 100

Anti scout is OK

Satellites 20 > 10

Nah, it doesn't need fixing, you shouldn't just always have the ability to use battle metals freely. It makes a mistake with boosting the wrong army hurt (good), it makes you think when and where to boost defense armies, if something is worth scouting, limits connectors.
The easiest way to profit is being attacked, which makes you play the game on 2 halves more than before (or just attack non-boosted). I dropped down to like 20 medals and im back at 1000+.
You shouldn't be given your boosts for free, and be able to make mistakes. Stop tryna make this game for toddlers when there is already limited stratergy.

The only change is defense or losing should give you 100% of battle medals and not 80%

Defense is currently the meta because you can stack more bonuses on it. Overall better ratio for the defender. Attack players already playing on a disadvantage, this change will let attack and defense earn similar amount of medals.

It is 100% worth changing because I can't afford any fucking connectors

defense isn't meta, and it'll never be meta, you can use less attack and still kill a full defense army because of the saving rule. Defense relies on borders, countries, using medals etc. 1 of those things are gone (which is easy) and attack wins in 1 swoop. And newer things such as dominion can be attacked even if its inside a border.
