    Whats more effective (Please read)

    Whats more effective at calculating attacks to exact numbers

    Angel - CB + SOM

    Or

    Som Calculator - Som + Som + (maybe a third)
    - = Paintrain = -

    Number two.
    Catwalk's crusade for legalized cheating was a stunning success, with ghettos and low-tiered teams everywhere losing their wells of knowledge to better kingdoms in the process.

    Step one: replace everything that works.
    Step two: blame the predictable epic fail on outside forces.
    Step three: keep the community informed that no progress has been made since the last update.
    Step four: thank you for your patience.

    Second. You usually get fewer results => the accurate result more often/easier.

    they are equally accurate if u r smart and know how things work

    som+som is more accurate if u r a number punching monkey

    cb+som is more practical in war because stealth is very precious in war, and sometimes som is hard to get

    That is a silly statement waheed :) Saying either is more precious in war is dependent on the province setup.

    both are good
    do som+som if army out if you ask me :)

    btw 99% of som+som also will work
    below 99% i am still testing (btw on 98% you can fail guys ^^)

    but by and large, stealth is always more powerful and useful.

    Sometimes, bad planning leaves you without sufficient runes to run down mana. You also cannot control your wpa as well as your tpa. Thief ops are also more consistent and predictable. Essentially, I guess I'm just saying T > M.


    I see where you're coming from saying its setup dependent, but general rule of thumb always tells you that t > m, so stealth > mana.

    I would get the CBs of all the provinces close to my networth before deciding on a target.

    If the SoM says no elites out or all elites out I don't think there is a reason for a second SoM.

    The value of the extra stealth can be determined by looking at the list of CBs, infiltrations, and surveys. If you have really good thievery targets you might save the stealth. If you have a chance to double hit the extra SoM might be worthwhile. A few extra nightstrikes and nightmares could be useful too.

    Thanks guys! :D

    I always usually use a som translatorv but a guy in our Kingdom was telling me that I should cb + som because it is more accurate. I think Ill just keep doing it my way. :D

    DHaran stealth is ALWAYS precious in war regardless of setup. if u can get an som, u can steal gc/runes

    I didn't say stealth wasn't precious, but to say it's more precious than mana is situational.

    I think that is true, mana is more useful for A/M.

    My fav way is with angel:

    1) Format own throne
    2) Format own KD Page
    3) Format enemy KD page
    4) Format enemy CB
    5) Format enemy SoM (twice for soldiers)

    Doing it this way gives little + signs in the miltary calculator beside the enemy troops, indicating every possible combination of troops at home. I am comfortable to over send by only a few hundred points with this method.

    i just cb+som, easier and simpler.


    i play attacker most times and usually have 1.5 tpa, most people make it difficult in getting that 1 som so i get one.
    What a rip-off. I went into our local bookstore and saw this huge
    display with a sign saying "Newly translated from the original French:
    37 mating positions." Noticing that the books were already wrapped in
    plain brown paper, I just hadda buy one.

    Once safely at home I opened it, out of sight of my wife, and found
    that I had just purchased an expensive book about Chess.

    Use a first SOM SOM to find out actual defense home and amount of elites out. Afterwards, use CB only, substracting the amount of elites out found on the first SOM translation.

    As said before, stealth has more value than mana.
