coss, why bother with logic? Haters gonna hate no matter what.

that's just one. Other changes include it was some random nub kingdom and you thought, why not. You thought it was a kingdom that gave you a hard time last age and you were going to give them a lesson.
On the other hand, and you didn't say that, it could have simply been a friendly willing kingdom lending a helping hand because you wanted to avoid a real war?
IF you were gaining so much in this war and it was a legit war as coss claims, why even report it at all? If it was a legit war, what exactly did you report it for?
"Hey big daddy the utopian monster may play in this kingdom we have a legit war with and might later on claim it was fake"?
so glad y'all agree on how the story went...
Are you just Dumb or Dumber?
The post clearly states that They were waiting for admin to react. But after seeing this in forums 8:6 made additional hits to which they went ahead and started hitting again.
1) They came oop with a very legit strat with humans
2) They stole gcs and had massive elites in training
3) They got a few hits on them and they offered war to which it was accepted.
4) They entered war and started to NS their soldiers till their offence came in.
5) They understood from IRC that this is bart with some proof(?)
6) They reported this to the admins/mods and were waiting for some legit outcome
7) 8:6 then went ahead and made some hits and this actually led to Sleepy making more hits from their end which they had initially stopped.
Is it so easy for you to NOT UNDERSTAND basic sentences?
Your only point is them releasing 500 soldiers to get in war range or train elites. So yes its definitely a bait move to get buttons as people will hit you on low defence.
Like Coss said. YOU & Strategy are 2 different things!
Might as well ignore Goodwitch, shes on a crusade against "top people" and she will do anything to land a punch.
I noticed a lot of kingdoms don't even have a drama strat.
At least I've been working on my standard diplomatic rebuttal:
~ And then suddenly your head falls off and poop comes out like soft serve ~
I will have to agree with Korp, however much it hurts :)
Goodwitch is talking out of her ass. It gets old real fast.
@Goodwitch you have no idea what happened here, that is a fact. Why do you insist on using your own theories as some kind of universal truth? They are just that, unsupported speculations.
You are arguing with ppl who actually play in the kd in question - its a loosing battle.
Let the admins decide and stop ranting pls.
And no i dont play with coss/shai/freaka
(holding hits while getting an answer) ...that one does

speaking with someone is something different than sending a message and waiting for a reply. Just like pressing the button is different than proposing war. Just like a random nub kingdom with a big mouth and a kingdom they had beef with from last age are very different. Just like planning to drop 500 def specs to train elites and dropping 500 def specs to get into war range are different, same effect different motivation. Just like claiming it's a legit war and reporting it as fake war are different.
I am not saying it's fake or it's not fake. But if you want people to believe your narrative at least get your stories straight.
@korp..why should he if you won't? I was almost proud of you for something productive you posted earlier, how disappointing that it was a fleeting thing. I speak up for fairness and for what I think is good for the game. Really not concerned with who disagrees with me, I don't come here to lick boots in return for favors.
Fairness? You are nitpicking. You think trying to bash people that did eseentially the right thing is good for the game? You think spewing out lies about how the top operates feeding people that dont have any clue your delusions about how the top works a good thing? You have a very twisted sense of what is good for the game.
Take here for example that you are unable to understand the context. Shai is describing their strat and coss was describing their actions in the situation. You cant compare apples with pears.Quote:

So I guess if you suspect a something afool you would just ignore it and grab as much acres as you can? Pretty ironic consider how you try to bash all the top kds..Quote:

Yet again unable to grasp context. coss is describing outcomes from their strategy.Quote:

So essentially nothing that you write contradicts their claims.
Also, you are biased nothing that you write is off worth.
That's it. My recollection was Godly disliked that strat; found it risky.
@ Goodwitch. It's ok,. Maintain the Drama Beams! ZZZZZAP! - One could argue that anything the top does is conducted, not unlike wrestling. Yes, I made the wrestling comparo again.
My belief in what they do is irrelevant, but I expect them to keep up appearances. Generally that's what I'll be interested in, regarding top mingling.
Wait can someone clarify this "trained 900-1300 elites" on 23 humans. Can anyone math that with prosperous and let's say max arms to give benefit of the doubt. Then we can arrive at roughly what figure was robbed (call it figure X), excluding explore costs (Y), oh and draft costs (D), oh and random factor in finding that many fat targets (call that ???). I wish to employ this genius strat every OOP from now on and get 5th place EOA.
Are we still drinking this cool aid?....
EDIT -
Mathed -
900gc
540gc fort
351gc fort/max arms
351 x 1k x 23 = 8m
------
Run down on events
8 million robbed OOP
Got war with 0 offence trained
Ghetto KD overpowered by 0 offence strat and WD
Profit

Clearly this is very legitimate and not a fake war at all.
well i robbed 400k oop and i only spend 50% stealth and was on a merly 600 thifs on 400 acers, so seems easy.
You should also add exploration costs for 10k acres. That should be 1.5 mill more
It seems all inactives this age landed on island 6
Still no ban?
So whats the going rate for crowining this age? Can anyone in sleepy tell me?
Bart is playing in 7:6. Not 8:6.
So who is the rogue monarch in 8:6 who present the war offer to 7:6?
Matija?
Impossible. Human SAGE who explored in pro comes OOP with 2.5 rtpa (equal to rogue starting buff) + draft + dspec train and has enough GC with minimal robs to train 900-1300 elites? Show me how that is even remotely feasible on 1x prov - then show me it on 23x....
So math me that please.
Point being that they didn't train said elites pre war and did in war - which is another FW sign OR they robbed mass multis for cash and took the farm war to train safely on zero def.
I personally robbed @ 30-40k gc/op when went OOP. What you miss is that we had low NW due to lack of troops and that we explore 1-2 hours before exit fort so tpa calcs are based on 400-420 acres and not 600. And there were quite a lot of people with gc OOP, inactives and not. I know one mate found a guy on 800k gc and stole over 500k from him. On top of it we made @ 40k gc/hour when we exit protection, don;t exactly remember how much it was when age started but I believe @ 23k and went up slow till we reached 40k. That is NET income, after the draft costs.
All I know is that we had more gc than we had soldiers for training:)
Now, redo your math pls.
Man. you are delusional. How is training elites in war a sign of a fake war. 8:6 (my kd) had 10+ inactives with gc to rob, you think they were planted by 7:6 as multis...?
7:6's humans came oop with 250k+ gc on hand. Thats ~600 elites in prosperity depending on arms. Each one of them could have easily robbed another ~250k gc for another ~600 elites from either our kd or others on the island. And as shai said, they had between 700-1.3k, not all on 1.3k...
Yeah sure, this story has so many plot holes. If you're going to have a FW then don't say anything on the forums, it will work better. Lie poorly and you'll always look guilty. Make up stats that don't add up, and you'll get caught out.
And you're missing the point of my argument. Those stats were provided as evidence to show that this wasn't a fake war - the reality is that they're not credible OR only possible if the exact perfect circumstances occurred (which again is beyond belief).
2.5 rtpa train on human sages (what does this cost if exploring?)
Explore costs ( figure?)
Draft ( figure ?)
Then now 600 or 900 or 1300 elites trained pre war OR in war (what does this cost)
If you seriously think a KD can do all that in 24-36 hours from age start then you're dreaming. Show me how that is possible on 23x provs!!!!
This farm out early age stuff is so boring. What's the incentive for the rest of the community to use strategy and skill to play the game when this happens. Devs should action it.
Don't push it now coss

training 2.5 tpa as a human sage costs on 400 acre costs 500k million gc. Explore costs are ~200k gc for 200 acres. Traing 1k leets cost....486k
Leet cost=900gc per leet, propepersous *0.6, minimal arms for 10% cheaper=486 gc/leet

Econ
Raw Income = (2.75 * Employed Peasants) + (2.75/3 * Unemployed Peasants) + (0.5 * Prisoners) + (Banks * 25 * BE)
Modified Income = Raw Income * Plague * Riots * Bank % Bonus * Income Sci * Honor Income Mod
* Race Mod * Personality Mod * Dragon
10,000 peasnts-3000 dspecs training -1000 theives-1000 solds for explore=6000 peasents
Raw Income =2.75*6000+ 140*25=20000
Modified Income=20000 raw*1.3race*(1+0.225 science*1.3sage)* 1.32815 banks=44632 gc/tick
Assume 8 ticks of that after buildings come in we get 357k gc.
We want "on hand" gc of 1000 leets+explore costs of 200k or roughly 486k+200k= 686k gc.
686-357=329k gc stolen at oop.
AT 15k/op thats 21 theif ops of stealing.
AT 3 stealth/op thats 63% stealth. 10% stealth u cant use. 100-63-10=27.
They each could do 27 sot's looking for gc and then steal 15k/gc per op.
The only question then is can u afford 2.5 tpa worth of theives with initial gc and your first 16 hours of econ.
you Start with 300k gc and need to spend 500k on theives. Or do you generate 200k gc in the first 16 hours of protection. That i cant give exact #'s but you need to earn <12.5k gc/tick an i was earning like 10k as a feary so i'd say easily yes.
You crazy? Nothing would happen. You've already established you can dealbreak Sparta unprovoked and nothing will happen to you diplomatically.
Now, imagine if it was mango last age. We actually did get GBed for less.
Anyway, strangely enough I do believe coss in this even though this is something he's done in the past. He might be next level tricking everyone, but this seems like a Bart thing to do by being so over-the-top to force dev's hands. Though I don't think actual farm wars are illegal. This is a bit of the gray area when it comes to actioning wars and determining fakeness of it. It seems like the MO of a ghetto now could be when they stuck in a farm war not attack and cry to the devs to get kicked out of the war. I didn't read the whole thread so can anyone fill me in on how the ww happened? Did Bart surrender or did the devs do it? If so, did sleepy get the full ww bonus? Will sleepy raze off their acres?
