  10. Clarification needed on GA mechanics

    in Question Center

    Posted

    1 hour ago, the rebel said:

    Attacking aggressively with really low odds against someone, you can still lose the attack and funds, but you have a chance of still doing damage.

     

    I believe the worse your odds the higher the chance you have of getting that "underdog" damage.

     

    Still, 8 out 9 loss ends up with him taking something anyway? This seems outright broken. And wasn't the underdog bonus toned down/removed a few years back?

    Posted · Edited by ccabal86

    Hello,

     

    I've recently fought a war with Fluens of murtibing: http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=325202

     

    Even though he had a significant tech advantage over me, I had much more infra and therefore more troops. Despite this, he decided to run Ground Attacks even though I had near max troops at home. Predictably he lost these GAs...except it wasn't really a loss, as it was the kind of defeat where he ended up looting tech and land, and destroying infra. I only gained money in return.

     

    Now, I know this happens every once in a while...except this time about 90% or more of his defeated GAs ended up like this (i think he just had one regular loss). It's as if he was guaranteed a win each and every time he ran a ground attack, no matter the odds, no matter the actual outcome. You can see the war log starting here: http://www.cybernations.net/war_information.asp?Page=10&Order=DESC&Field=Mess_Date&ID=801808#War_Logs

     

    So in light of this, I would like to have some clarification please about how GA mechanics work, specifically, about the factors that lead to a defeat where the defeated party ends up with the spoils of war.

     

    Thank you.

     

    EDIT: I don't know if mods can see the battle reports, but I'll copy all his "lost" GAs here (8 out of 9 ended up with him looting something):

  12. Game time while server down

    in Question Center

    If the game will really be down till Friday, I believe it is only fair to disable entering to Peace Mode for a few days when it comes back on. Not doing so would give the underdog party a free pass to hippe which can be done in a click. It takes infinitely less time to do that than it takes the other side to pick up the pieces and arrange for staggers, and by Friday many current wars will have expired.

  21. Announcement From the War Front On TLR

    No, it's because you backstabbed their ally. The issue is compounded by the fact that they actually entered this war in defense of the same common ally you and them have that you backstabbed.

    Or did you think everybody forgot about that already? It's gonna take at least a couple of years, mate.

     

    In the mean time, let's turn this into the 69th thread about how IRON is literally the anti-christ. I'm sure you guys have a million more fresh arguments in stock.
