Abduct attack gets NO scientists?

[Bishop]

Whether you agree or not Bishop, it needs to be adjusted.

Actually, whether i agree or not is what dictates if it will be adjusted.

Whether it was worth it or not, that is a different story.

It was never worth it day one.

Yeah, yet another abduct with no results... I Spied on Military and sciences before hand, and the province has never been hit before, not a mage, etc....

Please just give us some general guidelines on what to expect and not to expect with abduct attacks. -50% protection from abductions is seeming pretty useless to me now... My entire strategy for this age is looking more retarded with each passing moment.

On the matter, I'm just going to reset my province once able to. I just don't have faith in my strat anymore, so will conform to one of the three major race/personalities and become a mere pawn in my kingdom.

Know that I'll likely be crying myself to sleep tonight (lol, jk, I might just shed a tear or two).

[Burzum]

its day one, of course you arent getting scientists on hits.

You should probably have put up a warning in the changes for age 69 about this. It would have saved you a lot of whining from the nubs :)

I think it's fine.

New system was a little wonky right at the start. It has now been fixed. Some people lucked out, some people didn't. It really isn't a big deal. It's +/- a handful of scientists by 2 days into a 110-120 day age. So much bitterness.

What do you expect? That you can grab sci on every hit this early age? That would have been totally broken... How much sci could you grab from a non-sage oop last age?

No wonder this game has a fraction of a fraction of the players it used to have... Condescending individuals/attitudes everywhere. Troll central.

YES, I DO expect to grab some form of a gain when using an attack that was programmed into the game. I never did learn attacks much last age, but always got solid results when I did TBH (25K minimum each time). To ask for some simple mother-****ing guidelines on this new and different form of attack isn't really much to ask for.

What I don't expect is 2 abduct attacks in a row result in 0 net scientists. This is why I took the time to register in this joke of a forum.

So the gains are 0 atm and people have on average 20 scientists I'd say, which suggests abduct gains are <5%. Bear in mind though I have no real evidence of NW differences or stances or anything.

So let me get this straight: you were able to get 25k books off a single Learn attack right OOP? Even assuming that hit was on a Sage, who started with 40k books, the BS only becomes more clear. Learn attacks have NEVER been worth it OOP, you're lucky if you manage to get 10k books from 2 hits, let alone 25k in a single one. If you're going to whine about something, at least leave out the BS.

Learn was 8 percent.

I only did learn attacks closer to the end of the age (not OOP).

Let me get this straight: The forum users are condescending AND have the reading comprehension skills of children. Noted.

Knock it off.

Thanks for pointing that out, I knew it was small but couldn't recall the exact number.

@Kamikaze, you were asked initially why you expected to get significant gains from a Learn attack early age, and if you'll notice literally every response to you has repeated that this is regarding "OOP" or "early age." Please do your best to employ basic reading comprehension before attempting to call others out for lacking it.

If you get poor gains on an Abduct attack later in the age, then you'll potentially have a legitimate gripe. But not in this case.

Quick shout out to all those provinces who have had Revelation up for the past 24 hours and still haven't gotten a single scientist. Hashtag bonuses should matter!
