The @drugwars team is about to break the battle system again.
At least they gave us a heads-up this time.
Buy as my rowdies/bouncers as you can afford. Hopefully you won't lose everything.

Explanation
As of tomorrow, units will no longer be grouped, making mercenaries worthless because the 120 damage will just be wasted killing a single rowdy. This also makes snipers and ninjas worthless for the same reason. Even bazookas, that are being given "splash damage" (max 5 targets) will be worthless because they are expensive and 29 damage is still 27 more than you need to kill a Rowdy.
On the flip side. You'll be able to dominate any account that doesn't have a lot of units. You'll be able to swarm any account that only has a single rowdy/bouncer for defense. Seriously, what are you guys thinking?
I'm guessing the thought is more special abilities will be added to the game to fix this shitstorm.
Here are some examples:
rowdy:38 VS mercenary:1
copy/paste that into the simulator: https://simulator.drugwars.io/next.html
One rowdy dies and they kill the merc. AH DUMB!
Two new units
Hobo
This unit appears to have no HP. They to do 2 damage on the first round and then die without tanking any damage. My guess is that they cost all/mostly alcohol and only a little bit so it is a way to burn excess alch.
Spy
This unit has 0 damage and 1 hp, meaning it is the obvious scouting unit to see what opponents have. Still, we see using this broken system that they will make good tanks:
spy:100 sniper:1 VS ninja:10
Just kidding... looks like spies get attacked last. So Rowdy will be the best unit by far under this broken system. Bouncers will be pretty good as well, seeing as they take 5 hits from a rowdy to die.
Unit HP being saved
Because of this new system, the algorithm is now saving the values of unit hp (armor) from round to round and attack to attack. In the old system you could tank with a big mama and if it didn't die the hp would reset to 100%. This is no longer the case.
