Guido Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 So I'm fighting a GPAer, nice guy, we've been chatting. Both of us are having a good laugh at how ridiculous the battle system is. Here are our stats for reference.. Attacking Ruler: Guido Defending Ruler: conan the barbeque Attacking Technology: 2,541.55 Defending Technology: 1,516.24 Attacking Infrastructure: 9,389.99 Defending Infrastructure: 8,154.99 So as you can see I have over 1k more tech than him and more than 1k more infra than he does. So really I should have an advantage, but I understand that when attacking I have to deal with the infra bonus he has defending. OK no problem. My problem is a very weird thing that has been consistently happening... Before I attack, I deploy about 85k troops and about 9k tanks, He usually has about 70k troops and 7k tanks. I think 4 out of the last 5 days, my first attack has been a defeat and I lose ALL my tanks. 9k tanks lost every time. How is this possible? Bad luck? I thought so, but then I got talking to a few other guys in NPO and they said that both them and their attackers have had this happen as well. The funny thing is that after I lose all those troops and my chances of success drop to about 25%, I usually win the battle...with no tanks at all against his 5k tanks and 50k troops. This seems really odd to me. Isn't there a defeat that doesn't destroy all of your tanks? I rarely get one. POINT 2: The last 2 times the GPAer I'm fighting against has had a ground victory attacking me, he has only destroyed/looted half of everything. 37.5 miles of land, 2.5 tech, and 10 infra. And I've actually looted 1 million of his money. 2 times in a row...How rare is that? I hadn't seen this until like 2 days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayton Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 i hav gotten defeats with NO TANKS lost at all on my side.. so its def just your weird luck :-D as for point two.. ive never seen exactly HALF of tht stuff destroyed etc etc.. but i have seen my nation win and drestroy land tech infra.. but i lost 1million too.. so yea.. thats happened to me too :-D its just weird hing about the game i never ask about and just tak it :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykep Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 its luck of the draw, favoritism to the defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SynthFG Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 let me guess 1st attack = aggressive ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayton Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 let me guess 1st attack = aggressive ground agreed... if you first attk aggressive.. you will most likely lose ALLL or NONE.. lol :-D Thats a question i have..does any one use aggressive and not lose either all or none of their tanks?

enderland Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 This has happened to me quite frequently too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan the Barbeque Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hah, HI GUIDO! Yeah my tanks have the same effect, and though you lost some of your attacking ground attacks, I think your size really granted you a colossal defence advantage. When I go aggressive and lose, all my tanks die too :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
