Good lord it's time for a gag order on you too. I can tell you exactly how to skew it.: 1. Buff infra to absurd levels. 2. Buy tons of troops. 3. Engage target with nukes. 4. Profit. I've never artificially inflated my casualties.. my stats clearly show that. Edited August 12, 2019 by Maelstrom Vortex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can try and get to my 23million Because I have my own goals and objective that are not in line with buffing an arbitrarily meaningless number for no reason than to do so. I prefer to let my casualties accrue with natural conflict. Then I know I can at least stand by those numbers and I don't have to admit committing national suicide in order to polish pixels. The stats that matter: Sending your opponents to the top 7 day nation losses. I've done that a lot.

There is a natural medium in conflict between being neutral and being so war mongering you destroy yourself. I prefer balance. I am a creator and a destroyer. It is possible to do both.

You can intentionally initiate them to just up numbers. <-- I do not do this. My wars have purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
