Kinda funny how BB always pretend to win without always winning.
2 ages ago when BB stayed in war at EOA to block us and hand a farm crown to Barcolo they claimed to have won inspite being farmed in war and losing 40k land and being downs millions of NW.
Now BB ends up doing a hit and run and WDs and calls that a win also?
Ever since WW bonuses were implemented no actually needs to hit and run to win, they just win by winning the war and getting massive game generated bonuses. In this meta why would anyone who is actually WD when they can get the win and huge WW bonus. Considering every one of BBs provinces was chainable and we’ve easily taken down provinces > 200% our attacker NW it was only a matter of time until Bb was 50% our NW and farmed out but they decided to wd prior to that happening and avoid the embarsssment. Makes sense.
So losing land in war and getting farmed is winning and giving your opponents the WW is winning too according to BB. I guess being BB = always winning.
Flogger talks about hitting and running to win a crown yet how does hitting and running to finish T5 in land charts look? In this case BB doing a max gain wave and running with acres doesn’t get them a crown so that’s a moot point. The funny is we waved BB all home and gave up the disadvantage of being chained by them 2x prior to us being home had they actually declared but they chose not to declare right away, we put ourselves in a disadvantage and still won.
BB actually had an inside track to crowning for a while now, we started this age with 22 provs and did not use pool until Y5/6 while BB has been #1-2 a good part of the age but still managed to lose due to noobplay.
I really don't understand why anyone would dislike you Proteus. You are a man who speaks his mind worthy of praise :D
Hmmm I guess nw protection really ain't what it used to be? I have not opted across that nw distance yet since Chris and Dave said they changed nw protection. So what rate loss was there across 60% nw for ops?
I don't think NW protection at that range ever meant hey I'm an UB attacker against 7 faeries now because my NW is high? Of course it's even worse now...
Ever being my short Utopian life span.
I sadly have to agree with Proteus, if I saw this war as over for BB being the noob that I am I'm unsure what everyone else was looking at. Might be considered rude posting it like that but it is what it is...
If you actually though about what I wrote instead of looking for a "zinger" you would realize I always was saying I was guessing as I looked at zero Intel and I had no idea how ops were going. To me, if ops pace and attrition rate of thieves and wizards was only 10% different from where it was, then BB had a decent chance of solidifying the top and getting Econ going. If it was improved beyond that, then probably not. My last post I made when I saw your 12 k undead on 119nwa acres compared with 174 nwa on 17 k acres, I thought that bb may have cushion to massacre.
Just guessing from outside man. No need to try to be competitive with any analysis I made. I was just guessing with the limited data I had.
