Retaliation Wave 2.0 question

[KikiMofo]

So Ive seen people saying that 2.0 changed how retaliation waves for destroying portals work now.
They use to get harder each portal you destroy but I see people saying that 2.0 changed it so that it only gets harder with the amount of days passing and not at all with the amount of portal destroyed.
Is this true?
If so that would mean blitzing the portals as soon and fast as you can would be the best option now right? Use to be just ignoring the portals till unlocking Iron was a good option.

I'm also curious how time scales now, by day 80 on normal I was getting stomped on island 5. But I haven't played in a while so maybe I'm just out of practice.

Same here except I went back to clear islands 1-3. It's day 80ish and I am jammed up on the second island. I like this game but I'm ready to say screw this.

Yeah this game loves to take one step forward and then three back.

I can confirm that destroying portals does still make the retaliation waves stronger though days passed also makes them stronger.
Though because destroying all portals on the dock side makes the troops move to the other side it does even out the difficulty.
Now I'm playing on Norse Lands and trying to figure out how to keep crushers from just destroying everything instantly because they start showing up in normal waves around day 60. Arrows don't seem to affect them till they hit the walls and making a shield wall doesn't help because the crusher just smashes them.

sounds like we can only hope they fix sleipnir asap. the crabs are not so bad, a 2 times upgraded wall can stand there 1 charge before they get killed.
