    Noob move spelled disaster for Randomination

    Trumpets were sounded, armies were assembled. The thousands of troops of our kingdom were quivering in delight, anticipating the upcoming war with Famous Last Words (FLW) kingdom. We haven’t had war for a long time that this chronicler could not find the last war history. It may have been well over two years, and our soldiers’ eyes were burning with bloodlust.

    Our kingdom, Randomination, was slightly bigger with a networth difference of about 200,000gc. Despite that, FLW showed signs that they wanted to fight us.

    Tension started as our kingdom hit in FLW even though they were fortified; our provinces sending out armies starting on the 20th of February, year 7th. Monarchs of both kingdoms met in secret and agreed that it is time for war. Still in fortified stance, FLW started to lure their dragon with gold and as such, we responded two days after.

    FLW answered our hits with 11 land grabs, one attack shy of ours. With an attack difference, they lost 129 acres to us. However, they gained the declare war button.

    The next month, the button was pressed, war was declared. But not by the kingdom we were expecting.

    March 20 of YR7 Old Greg (x:x) has declared WAR with our kingdom!

    A bigger army met us in the battlefield bearing flags of Old Greg kingdom, not FLW! We were confused; provincial rulers and generals had an emergency meeting. We can’t simply battle with a kingdom 1 million in networth more than ours! The leaders declared.

    Inquests were hastily made to ascertain who led us to this doom; history books and army ledgers were spread about. Finally the culprits were identified and the rascals confessed to their mistakes. The first one attacked two juicy provinces of Old Greg. He plundered and learned from one province. The second culprit wasn’t aware he was hitting into the same province, he too did a learn. Angered that he only gained a few books, he pillaged the same province, razed it, and grabbed land. The first culprit hit again for knowledge in the same kingdom, but with another province.

    With only 9 hits – 5 Learns, 2 Plunders, 1 Raze, and 1 Traditional March, these two provinces irked the rulers of this mighty kingdom. We have been marked as hostile!

    Right now, provinces have been massacred and reduced to half their sizes. We tried to put up a fight, but Old Greg’s forces were overwhelming. Our biggest provinces were their middle size and they had plenty of unbreakables.

    Since one of the offender was Dutch, we all blamed him. (I don't get this joke though).

    Currently, our kingdom has lost 1,577 acres, 847 acres were razed, and thousands upon thousands of people massacred.

    An innocent new player with no regard for life might've run the attacks to see how they work. Otherwise, we all know the answer.

    I like your stoicism, ginata. You have the right personality for Utopia :-)

    24 hours on April 20 YR7. Minimum time for war is 24 hrs if I weren't mistaken. We've already surrendered. Yey.

    True, it's crazy. Not much of a noob move, eh? Hahaha...

    Really? Would you enlighten me as to how all know this answer?

    I was the player who did those attacks. It's a really simple few reasons actually...

    1 - I was about to go to sleep, but war was looming on the horizon, so I decided I wanted my elite army out of the province so any hits while I was asleep didn't kill off elites.

    2 - The province I hit had a lot of gold. I was going for it.

    3 - The province I hit was SO darn under defended, that I could hit four times. I tried to learn but saw it was no good, then I razed to lower his GS, then I plundered to get my gold, and finally decided that to buffer my own province I might as well take some land... that's why I used every type of hit

    Of course I would have preferred that my learn had been good, but the guy had too many schools to make a second learn worthwile.

    So there. Are those reasons everyone knew? Good, UT is full of smart players then.

    1. You only had 1 land hit in there and likely not a good one. If war started and you got chained, you would have suffered pretty bad elite loses from overpop anyway.

    2-3. You could have seen if he was a good learn target with 6% stealth, not wasting a general and giving the target GBP. Next time just grab some intel .

    Helpful tip: Use 10 thief sends on SoS /Survey. The number of books will be accurate.The only thing that changes on Surveys are the Effects numbers. #buildings, %buildings, BE, Jobs, etc. all are accurate.

    80% accurate is usually good enough on survey or SoS. 0% schools +/- 0%. Guard stations 0% +/- 0%. Banks 20% +/- 4%. It does not matter the banks are 16%. Will not effect a learn attack.

    To confirm.

    On both SoS n survey, it is ONLY the effects that are inaccurate with 10 thieves.

    # of buildings,% of buildings, workers, be, workers for max efficiency and number of books are EXACTLY correct.

    Edit: I'm probably off topic but had a rare moment of helpfulness.

    On topic: Thanks for the write up, keep going!
