War Strategy

[s0830887]

So I'm not actually very good at choosing chain targets or war planning but as monarch my KD wants me to do it. So to the more experienced players: what kind of things are taken into consideration when choosing targets and planning war strategy? We're a pretty small KD (3mil) with only 10 attackers, but those 10 are pretty active.

Thanks

Theres a whole laundry list of things to consider, and its nearly impossible to give a general blueprint to wining wars. At the size & player population of your kd, what wins wars is activity....If your players do army-in-army-out and follows whatever orders you give your very likely to win whatever wars you get.

when it comes to choosing chain targets, the easiest idea is to hit the province with the most draft rate OR the most offense to defense ratio.. usually these targets are pure attackers, namely, Orcs and Undeads.. they usually pack with minimum of 60-70opa while having 30-40dpa(armies out)...

once you have a list of attackers with high OPA, low DPA, now go through their build strat in surveys taken.. priorities should be given to the biggest province and those who run the least or no Guard Stations..

the whole point of doing a chain attack is to quickly over-populate your target.. so make sure you could synchronize all your attackers into attacking the target in the least time frame, possibly in the same tick(that would give the best result) or within a 12 hour frame.. bring down the chain target to at least 20%-40% of his original size, the lower the better.. and then change to the next target...

disable key province, destroy unbrakable, protect ur unbrakable, take eco advantage. Thats what a war is all about. Take down those with good eco, take down those high off guys who can break ur tms, take down tms that can harm u. "chaining" can be done with TMs aswell... its not all about the attackers :)

Depends alot. As some have already suggested, dont just focus on your attackers power. TMs should also play a big role. If you play them right, you can do extreme damage with them. Last war we made one extremely big prov go from 110k def to 35k def in little over a day with TMs only. Also there is not a ONE full proof plan that would make you win your every war. It depends on your KD setup and who you are warring. If your warring a Ghetto i strongly suggest looking up who their active players are (and look if there are any inacts you can feed on).
