So Exactly what do Guard Stations Protect

[Verbal Abuse]

Been gone awhile, can someone list specifically what a Guard station protects, thanks.

Gc, Runes, food via plunder. Land via Trad march/conquest. Science via learn.

[Verminator]

Basically, way too much for one building type to protect. ;)

[Bo To]

Not really. They protect best land when you are big(above 1.5k acres). The protection on books is much smaller than what schools provide(for current age).

Errrr GS's don't protect science. Schools protect science. Well used to. Now Universities will protect your scientists. GS's though will protect everything else.

"Schools used to provide a home for books, having a dual effect of reducing the cost of producing books and protecting books from learn attacks. Schools are now gone. In their place are Universities, which provide refuge for Scientists from Abduction attacks. "

i dont know about abuct but GS provided protection on learns. 2-3 ages back my kd did a science oop strat. WE ran 5% draft and ran 3/tick science with max schools and some running gs. We collected buttons and re-explored using the fact that we were completely untrained to stay outa nw range of the vast majority of kds. We had mutltiple people learn us and they got LESS science when we had GS it was flat multiplicative with the school effects.

Really now??? Is this something that we had to figure out on our own by pure coincidence? Freaking guide should definitely have been updated then.

Did Gs protect honor? According to Palem honor is a resource that mean it must protect it?

not that i know of....directly at least

Gains = Target Resource * Attack Type * PNF * KNF * GBP * GS * Race * Stance * Relations * Target Stance * Attack time modifier * Anonymity

target resource=science.....its already right there

GS don't protect honor in any way, or you might say they indirectly leave you more exposed to honor farming since they reduce the amount of NW you lose after getting hit.

The guide is fine, and you can infer this without even reading the guide. Straight out of the building advisor page:
"0.0% lower resource losses when attacked (2.0%)"

Science is a resource, is it not? (Well, was...prior to the changes)
