Massacres Or TM

[Deathlyric]

We where thinking of going to war vs an really TM heavy kd. Lets say 16 are either elf Or ha. Hybrid tms WHO Will hit out and be a problem with thieves and magic. IF its only 5-9 tms i like to TRademarch their rogues first overpop and reduce their nw to save our bigger attackers. But vs many i wonder IF a full massacre wave for 2 waves and NM 1 attacker just to get some acres in. 1x massacre and 1-3 hits on a massacre target. How would u do IT?

Can you provide more details about both KDs. How many t/ms, hybrids, attackers on each side. How many of your attackers can break how many rogues.

If you have significantly more attackers focus on massacring the rogues and aw their mystics/heretics. If you have access to NM you will need a lot runes so make some stockpile. Massacre the rogues oow, in war fast and good chain their attackers and then move to the t/ms.

i personally would need FULL intell before deciding if i massacre/ignor/chain. I would however not x1 massacre and then 1-3 trad marches on the massacre target. you are defeating the purpose of massacres when u trad march.

Yeah, massacres after trads if anything. Not before. Unless you hollow them out with massacres and take the land later one I suppose.

I think he meant 1 mass and 1-3 side hits on attackers for land.

I got this too.

I've always toyed with the idea of opening a war with a full massacre round, maybe have 4 mass targets and mass them all x4 or something.

A very general rule would be to chain rogues and mass non-rouges. Rogues can prop army back, and halfers have cheap thieves. So massing is often less usefuil than chaining them. (obviously, though, that is situational).

A hybrid only needs 2-3 massacres on them to knock them out. Combined with bloat, that should do the job.

If warring vs hybrids, also go high WTs - 20% across the board will do a good job of slowing them down, especially if they aren't suiper co-ordinated and aren't doing things like GA/MV CS before running thievery ops.

Personally I prefer
vs mages - mass/AW/prop then ignore them, unless they are part of a chain or low def for off hits (mages work even when overpop)
vs rogues - trad/razes/tornado/prop and finish them off (thieves dont work when overpop)
vs hybrid T/M - pick one of the above based on their WPA/TPA numbers
vs hybrid attackers - treat them like attackers

Do note the following
The problem about a massacre is you got no incoming.
The problem about a traditional is that their WPA/TPA goes up the roof.
