Simians Vs Sanctuary

[jdorje]

Question for dorje: May I ask what you want out of this war vs.Simians? WW and bragging rights? Or?

I want to get some good recruits out of it. Simians is hyped on this board as the best warring kingdom around. Sanc lost a couple wars this age where we went into battle unprepared against kingdoms with 30% more troops than us, giving us an unfairly poor reputation. Now we're more prepared but still a few players short. We need people that'll be here on time for your armies, every 9.5 hours of war for however long it lasts. Previous skd experience is a plus, but not required.

Still a lot of cleanup to do, but a corner has been turned and I'm now confident of an eventual sanc victory. Looks like both kingdoms should be able to find a few players to replace after this one so it's back to the recruiting board.

word?

War is swinging more to sanc's favor, but this isn't really reflected on the kd page yet.

That's a sh!t ton of attacks from Simians though! Are they focusing so much on chains causing their gains to be terrible? almost 200 more trad-marches SHOULD relate to more acres taken, why isn't this the case?

-2,632 - The Amazing Spiderman (34 [14]/119)
-2,888 - Bugs Bunny (35 [11]/106)
-3,041 - Ducktales (40 [11]/150)

50% of their attacks are on these 3 provinces. Who are on understandably rather low defense by now. Bottomfeeding has a kills penalty but an even bigger gains penalty, so just sheer number of hits makes defense impossible after a while.

[CannaWhoopazz]

Oh, ok! So most of their attacks are multi-tapping those guys to keep them down, then 1 hit on a new target/max gain? That makes sense why they drastically outnumber you in attacks but are falling more behind in acres

I think Anri told OldSchool to disband.. :)

Compared to OS we have not lost a single acre yet.

But i made some change of plans tonight. We see more in 24-48h what status of war is :)

If its one thing i learnt over all these ages running an orc KD it is that orcs cant run away vs a KD with our setup. The problem is the bank. Were going back to our normal tactics and since i got off my work weekend 2h ago i done nothing else but peptalk and changing entire game-plan and sending some hundreds of sms out. So we like to give it some more time and get back on track. ;-)

as long as that bank doesnt get fb'ed properly I cant see simians coming on top. extra elite credits vs extra avian losses on off ... merchant or not this looks like a one way street to me and longer it goes on better sanc is.

While offense seems important, the point is to be the first side to start double tapping the other. So for every point of defense earned the enemy needs to gain 2 points of offense to keep up. In a really long-drawn out fight assuming both sides destroy eachothers economy to where they can't afford to train troops themselves (which isn't the case now), gaining free 6 pt dspecs is preferable to gaining free 9/2 elites.

[citadela01]

yes, but they gain 9*1.3 with tact, and replenishing deff with money is much cheaper than replenishing elites, money orcs save on retraining elites returns twofold in defspecs training. even if their economies arent trashed I doubt they are able to sustain building acres and retraining all the troops. I am really surprised simians are even bothering with ll's and greeds and havent just gone with fullout fb runs on the bank, with so many pezzies on one pile return gains will be awesome and efen if they fail 4/5 with their faes its still very much worth it, thats one income/draft moster there and the longer the war goes on more it will contribute.

[Realest]

it's best to keep your defense, offensive. Refer to level 1 of the Kobe System.

God I wish monkeys could SKYPE. One day.

[Palem]

You mods treat people differently it seems. Some gets banned for it, others doesnt.

I think it's very well known that I'm very apologetic when it comes to people breaking "less-than-major" rules. I don't treat anyone different. I can start banning for every violation I see like DHaran does if you'd prefer that...?
