Auto cast script or program cheating.

[tiggis]

I took an SOM on a province and attacked 2 min later.. and failed.
I rechecked my numbers and I should have had a 104.8% chance.. so I was confused.
I retook the SOM and his defense went up 30k


Today I took an som of the same province..
Retook it 1 min later and it went up 30k.

There has to be some script or something he has set up to cast MP after an SOM is taken.

Or he is the luckiest and I am the unluckiest person on earth.

Are you sure you sent enough thieves to get 100% accurate intel? MP is only a 5% increase, 30k seems a bit excessive. It does sound suspicious tho...

[khronosschoty]

Did you hit, fail, then have your army come home, get intel to make a new hit (in other words you were AIAO?)? If so maybe the other person made sure to come on to stop you again.

All good questions.

I use utools so it auto sets your theives to 10% for intel.. but I also checked to see that it said 100% acurate.

The first time I took an SOM I attacked within 2 minutes.. bounced.. rechecked my info.. then took another SOM and his defense was up about 10%.

This morning at 9am eastern I took and som (100% acurate).. took another 30 seconds later and he had increased his defense about 10%.

Was he online at those times?

I have done mp/gp bounces before. If I notice someone getting my intel, immediately cast it. It can be effective, but isn't a good long term strategy just due to the issues of always being online, but if I know when the enemy is waving and they can't hit b4 that in war, it works great.

That is the question I did not look.
I will do it again in the morning and when MP should drop off and see if it pops back on after I take an som.

Take note of his DME too.

guild mate figured it out.

he hit me out of a war.
So I retal'd into a war.

Did not know.

The game automatically does this for you.

[Andurilas]

I assume you mean the explanation is due to you taking 83% accurate intel for SOMing into a war?

That is what I believe yes.

Thanks Palem - I thought it was utools.

[MyNameIsMatija]

Need 40% thieves SOM into war.

[StratOcastle]

That's a lot. I didn't know. ;-)

The other factors are obvious, but keen awareness is important.
In the last war we fought, the enemy provinces I was likely to hit would suddenly be active after I grabbed intel. This is due to some coincidence as I'm sure they were aware when my army got home.

You work with the evidence: one of our guys on the initial wave bounced his march and was chained. Same story, sort of. The enemy was online and apparently a soldier ball was passed at the right time. - Knowing this, and seeing it before, I then turned to playing 'duck, duck, goose' with intel on a variety of targets. Switching between 1 thief intel to 10% intel to disguise actual failures and faux successes. I'm on a slower mobile system so I can't sneak in quick objectives. It's also part of the challenges I enjoy vs the fast, bot driven, organized kingdoms.
