War Strategy - would you do it?

[crease]

a land def 70k nw prov should have more than the 50-60k that is prolly on the 3k prov, and its not difficult if he has 3 land def side hits to stay afloat.

it can take days to repump up to desired tpa that a single raze can do to the buffing of a halfer. Especially if your TM's are not free pumping at max pop after slaying several dragons. If said halfer goes from 20mtpa to ~27 youve got to pump 2+ tpa on ur fae's to counter that. If a 10mtpa fae gets a raze youve got to get an extra 8-10 mtpa to continue propping him. Its not ideal but it can certainly have its uses.

If that SINGLE raze allows that prov to stabilize then its certainly done its job, it can recover in a blanket. If the halfer thats taken a SINGLE raze allows it to prop you and start gaining tpa/wpa solely from props where before it was failing often enough to not gain then the power transfers to them.

Regardless, there are far better uses of time and energy in terms of T/M superiority that one could do, a lot of which comes down to knowing how to maximise your defensive play. If the hypothetical you propose were to come to pass it would be foolhardy to even allow the "tactic" air - the logical answer would be to remove the threat outright and not waste time about it.
How one goes about it? Well, that's another matter entirely.

Its a great strategy. I was able to find ur war by the names posted. If ur big attackers cant break their tms i guess this is a great strategy. U might want ur biggies at the top to attack eachother so they can have some decent gains again. Fight fire with fire:)

So what if the KD instanty kills that province you intraed?

[crease]

define kill... obviously you couldnt chain him or he wouldnt be up there, if hitting him once drops his def enough that you can take him down its a risky move, but you shouldnt want to TM a TM that you can only hit once, especially on elf. You should look to massacre him to regain that op advantage back.

You're missing the "that's a really dumb idea" option lol

could not have said it better my self....
