Maybe he puts his hand in his bush and grabs his bird 1081 times

Maybe he only wanted 1081 acres ?

I don't ambush often, but when I do I prefer 1081 acres

There should be some type of server-wide hall of fame so this can go into it :)

July 22 of YR4 11 Your army (AMA) recaptured 765 acres of land from Snow Crash (Havoc).
It would seem this is becoming a pattern.

There's surely more than meets the eye at play here, as long as Havocs bank keeps the NW range proper, which they seem to be doing as despite the ma bank being 2k acres bigger, the havoc bank has higher nw, they can recoup the acres at some point, perhaps going for the sci/wpa edge to more effectively damage the MA bank?

There's no way they are just repeatedly making the same mistake for no reason whatsoever

Given that so far you have failed and they have no...no?

Yes thats bound to hurt a lot, wonder if/how much he had to suicide for it.

I don't understand why ambushing a human is good? You still need to send ~70% of the offence they sent but only get 50% of the land?

Either way I think Havoc is in a strong position with their science. Look like they have also won the cow fight

That's gotta hurt Gene. 70% of 104% is nothing.

Ambush means they forgot to war spoil, which means that peasants will die to overpop when you hit them. and additionally they will be even more overpopped when they get half as much land in as they anticipated.

Also your question implicitly takes for granted that they could be doing something better with the offense. However it's certainly feasible that you could have enough to safely ambush + hit, but not quite enough to double tap. So ambushing is the best use in that scenario....

Let's speculate. - in ghetto tactics one may build a suicide/meat-shield province to draw attacks. Funneling enemy offense in predictable corridors clarifies a number of options. This may be a refined version of the meat-shield gambit in that humans require no build variation to achieve similar results. - Or I could be wrong and they're drunk conspirators.
