Rate my Province

[VT2]

So you'll be a landfat target instead of a turtle?
Genius, vines.

[vines]

Yup I'll be landfat with a military of no difference in power that will be only getting strong.
Also I will be able to get large land grabs that's what you've been asking for right?
By the way I didn't turtle I war spoiled province in order to have new that would allow me to build and changed into my war stance. If this war last long enough you guys may get to see phase 3.

[CheeseMelts]

Oh no, not phase 3. Please don't hurt me.

[vines]

Most of the time I pass phase 3 and go to phase 4. Sometime I do a 2.5 phase it's much like phase 2 but doing it again. Some wars call for me to change the structure of my war stance more than once that's when I bring in phase 2.5.

[VT2]

You turtled.
War stance in war? Okay, so what were you doing during post-war preparations? Hangin' out with your buddies? Flirting with the local ladies?

[vines]

I didn't turtled. I didn't stay home building military. I didn't raze building change my build. I attacked and took land used that land to change my build. To tell you the truth when the war started I got on not even knowing we had a target and so I was shocked to see we were in war. Had I known we had a target and were going to war I would have went into war stance before the war started but I didn't know so I made do and got ready in war. And now you're like awww he's too strong he's just toying with us--damn he's good.

[Astares]

One would think so, however, that's when I go into phase two of my war strategy. There are 4 phase the first phase is getting into war stance and the second phase is making so I say in range. The kingdom our kingdom is war will start to see my province's net worth to drop.

They're going to see your nw drop all right man, as they start taking your land. And that has nothing to do with your strat, but everything to do with 18 attackers v 10 attackers. And 4 of your provinces are hurting already. Withdraw and eat a little crow.

[vines]

They can't take my land. Yeah that's why I'm trying to show my guys how to attack and defend. There will be many times when we have fewer attackers so in order to win we need to learn how to take land without give any back.

[VT2]

Let me educate you, vines.

First, the easy land is taken. This comes mainly from suicidal elves, suicidal gnomes, underdrafted orcs that refuse to use anonymity to cover their all-elite offense, and everyone else who constitutes a serious threat. You are not on this list.

Secondly, once all serious threats have been disabled, the permanent land is taken. This is kept safe in landfarms, known as T/M's, supermages, and superthieves. Once the conquests start, or at least one player has grown enough to start leeching the permanent land, it won't stop. You are not on this list either.

Thirdly, when all other sources of land have been depleted, the hard-to-reach land suddenly starts looking mighty tasty. This land can be found under the command of heavily drafted and defended gnomes, dark elves, and humans - all little to no offensive power. The politically correct term for the guardians of this land is 'explorer,' but I like to call them by their proper name: waste of space. You are on this list.

[vines]

I have taken the most land. What you mean to say is you can't take my land so might as go somewhere else for it. I told you once I'll tell you again there is no way were going to land grab me, no way. Now that you understand don't make reason for why your kingdom hasn't attacked the province taking the most land. There is only two reasons a province doesn't get attacked in war 1. keeps army at home 2. can't be broken when army is away. Those are the two reason. Don't try to make up reason as you why I haven't been attack you, me and any one reading this know if I could be attack I would have already been attacked. Simple as that.

3. The province sucks and makes 40 acre grabs with 18 hour attack times like yours so the opposing kd ignores you.

Most of the time I pass phase 3 and go to phase 4. Sometime I do a 2.5 phase it's much like phase 2 but doing it again. Some wars call for me to change the structure of my war stance more than once that's when I bring in phase 2.5.

You are amazing. I'm only able to reach phase 1.3; please teach me your ways.

I would also like to learn how to not get attacked like you. People tell me all I have to do is train defense and to attack people a lot smaller than me, but I'm sure there is more to your genius and those people are missing something.

[VT2]

Vines, if I wanted to, I could sit and camp behind my 70k defense, and only hit smallies in my war, too, but that's not as satisfying, rewarding, or useful as going for the big people that needs to drop.

Yes, your province sucks. Your 40 acres each hit are inferior to the 100 acre hits your buddies do, so they get to suck down attack after attack, but when they're all gone, your land is next up for the taking.
What will you do then, vines? Implement Phase 4: ultra-mega vines mode 2000?

I think you are mistaken. Vines has already attacked for 130 acres in about 3 days of war while almost everyone else in his kingdom is losing land or getting massacred. That takes some serious skill to pull off.

Also, once vines switches to Phase 4 he will probably be able to attack for at least 50 acres. I'm sure vines himself would agree that it's quite shocking.

[VT2]

I guess I should try to pick up some of his skills. It can't be easy at all camping with a networth-inflated gnome, building only elites, and getting in 18 hour attacks on people half his size.

I've hit for 128 acres so far in one day, and my second attack is set to take place in two hours. Of course, that can't ever compete with the godlike powers of vines.
