Its cute how goodz suddenly ignored me :-)
I find it emberrasing to see taunt banners twice this age directed at Absalom having 0 thiefs on multiple killers since I play at HoH. Even if there is no gold farming going on, the game is in bad shape when killers can run no thiefs without a worry in the world. Like was mentioned earlier last age same thing a couple of Absalom killers with no thiefs. Maybe it's just the way they have always done killers?? Maybe Proteus can clarify if it's a constant theme or just a rare occurance.
The game is broken the competition is lame.
Maybe you should challenge absalom instead of holding thier hands age after age after age after age...
What is broken is that you are in range to steal them or to war them and you instead CF them for full ages. Dont blame them for being able to run 0 thiefs when all other competition CF them. The only **** they have to wry about is first wars of the age after that if they win they got the age all ready. HoH is one deciding factor and extra strength they need on thier side. If you want to realize this or not is another question.
War absalom, see if you can win.
We didunt send taunt banners, but i found its shame how some ppl explain how correct play for cows is to keep 0 thives. Its complete broken and when there is few ally kds and 1 from them need gold and second have 2 cows with zero thives its not hard to guess they can use "extra help".
Only abs kds and maybe hoh have stock gold. There is no kd what we can rob and there is no need. Few days back Sanc had 500 mill gold. When we are going hostile/war will be retard to rob from any other kd ever if they offer real money for it.
Just to be clear, you cannot rob gc through in-game cf. A "cow", is short for "cash cow" by definition, so it should not be that surprising that some kingdoms want to use them for transferring gc intra kingdom to their smaller provinces. If this is deemed to be broken, it'd be very simple to remove intra kingdom robbing from the game functionality.
Is Zauper trying to teach Elit about cowing? :P
Except we have in-game ceasefires with them, and absalom (unlike our opponents) has no history whatsoever of farming gold, ever.
Oh except we have no in-game ceasefire with havoc now. Lol.
You still think we were farming gc through an in-game ceasefire? Is that why our gc stocks constantly dropped?
Now that havoc inexplicably broke cf with us .. can we borrow 100mill plz =D ... odd
If you dont follow the conversation and understand what its about please refrain from posting. Thou if you are actually interested you can easily follow the conversation me and goodz had in the previous page and you will be up to date and hopefully understand what my comment was about. Hell let me make it easy for you! goodz explaination why their "cows" had 0 theives was to fix TB while he told us/ my kingdom a different story when we were taking advantage of that fact.
Our big provs all run thieves, there were obviously situations in past ages where we had to transfer money from larger provs to smaller ones. I don't see how this is anyone's business as there is nothing wrong with large provs, feeding up your kd, pumping books, or whatever.
Specifically encouraging other kingdoms to rob someone just because they chose to play a certain way is wrong. If you don't like it then don't make cfs but you yourself want to pump while inciting other people to rob Abs kds so they have a worse pump than you do.
The only time I have actually seen an unfair way of transferring gold was when its done in between kingdoms. The most recent instance of such was when flogger (pulse) farmed gc to Bio in age 55 so they could double us. The gc transfer did not help much as we still farmed Psyhward and BIO in spite of the gc transfer and doubleteam but it was nonetheless lame.
Kuhan yes I am in. If you want we can both transfer our money to ASF and he will pay the proceeds to winner.
At the time Elit mentioned it in this thread it was already common knowledge amongst players that it was happening. The fact that Elit broke his own code of ethics is probably because he was getting more and more pissed off at dorje accusing us of abusing a game mechanic, when we weren't. Not a good reason, I guess, but people do strange things when they get pissed off at being falsely accused.
Cows/killers or however you wish to name them, frequently release their thieves to let others fix their TBs as they generally have a surplus of resources. As of recent, it seems to have become a habit (by Abs kingdoms) to play without thieves for weeks rather than just a day or 2.
Don't give Proteus too much credit; it's an old strategy that's been used for many ages, probably just not the same way they do it now.
I'm also guessing they intra kingdom steal surplus to fund sciences, as with the income a human cow has it should generate enough cash and have spares even after buying extreme ;p
Sanc was already taunted this age with a 0thiefe infil, you think people aren't aware yet? :|
Situation in paste ages was similar to what Sanc/Havoc did, but perhaps you learned from being mass-robbed 1-2 ages back when you sat on 0 thieves for a longer period of time.
These taunts are actually pretty hilarious. Wonder how often they'll be used ;p
"active hostile" started 1h ago. Both kds use scary ops and look each other :)
Dragons was traded again.
One reason it's more effective now is that cows have silly income. Typically you will have +1m hourly income (with tog) on extreme science...what are you going to do with that money? Running 50k thieves lowers your hourly income by like 300k (7m a day). Even if some ghetto does rob all your cash, you're still going to have 200m spare after pumping come wartime. But better to let your own kingdom take it.
It costs me like 20m to retrain to 2TPA say. It also reduces daily income by say 5m. So I presume you can understand why i felt it was worth risk of leaving tpa at 0. I had planned to leave it there for a few more days even after I released to let a guy rob. In end I lost about 25m gc on my prov. But I have released a few others times during the age when we needed the TB to put up a bank easily. It is what it is like I said.
I just wish a KD would not leak me doing it to the entire world without any provocation from my kd.
They were given an advantage in that fortified didn't work as intended by devs and they were able to steal a couple hundred million gc in it. I don't think anyone was saying they abused mechanics...
anyway meh this whole thing is stupid I just want my monies back!
July 4 of YR6 We have entered into a formal ceasefire with Havoc of Absalom (odd).
Thank for the 100 million gc. Payment for CF.
Actually I was quiet the entire time as I was not leading that age as I was working a lot that summer which is common knowledge if you ask around, I came back to actively leading at beginning of freeze last age. Obviously if I do not have enough time to even lead why would I have time for forums.
Encouraging people to rob those who are holding gc to "punish" them is basically what you are doing. If smaller kds want to rob bigger kds they can do so on their own, they do not need someone coordinating/instructing them, etc. Same way that group of cows with kuhan/veritas etc did not need someone like flogger to coordinate their actions, it was none of his business. Generally people who do that kinda thing are just desperate to win at all costs.
The action will be on you Elit...Since Sanc doesnt have too open up.
This scenario is more in favor of ABS.
You gotta war em one by one!!!
Unles cfed with the rest ofc :)
Our cfs is time limited with few from rest kds. They can notice only if we don't have other notice/hostile/war/post war with another abs/hoh kd. I'm sure when we end with sanctuary goodz will come to punish us!
Its not easy to be abs and deal with evil ppl like us ;)
less talk more actiiiiiion
flogger you care to bet with me, you are supposed to be a west coast high roller. put your $$ where your mouth is, hundy spot on this.
