The sky is blue, woah.

If you are fine with continuing this, why did you pull out, and then apologize publically? I smell a lot of bravado, but little substance behind it.

If you caused Swamp a billion in damages so quickly and so easily, what's stopping you from giving them a few more bil damage? Why did you run to your protector so quickly? Who are you trying to save face for?

Problem with this is the fact that in 90% of wars, the defenders know that they are being targeted. This will be especially true with the fact that ground is now stronger, and alliances will probably be milling up b4 the blitz now more than ever, giving a heads up to their target that "Hey, we are coming".

I totally agree with this part. Having IT on someone is not a good enough trade off. You blitz someone on day one, they come back around on day two at full military strength, remove all those ITs you got by attacking them in the first place, and just plainly destroy you. This would completely discourage aggressive action by alliances. Instead, just as Azaghul said, limit the number of units that can be in reserve. Be it 50 to 80% of your total capacity.

I think that it is important to first off define what slot filling is. In my opinion, it is to attack a nation with the main intent of preventing it from being attacked and therefore harmed by others.

Again, it is still easier to switch that one barrack, and not to mention costs less. Sure, a few ground attacks probably get you enough to recoup ur losses on switching the barracks. But then come in the economic factors. Regardless, this is hardly a moot point. Alex just needs to remove those strikes.

Well, who would do that u say? Me, for example. I have 2k infra, and 8k tanks as an mmr. All I ever do need is 50 soldiers and a few thousand tanks for an IT every time. Plus, it is a lot easier to switch one mine to a barrack, than do that to all of em, and wait 3 days to max soldiers to get max profit. That's besides the economic factor as well. As a raider, I'd expect you to know this, Borg. What I said was in reference to slot filling. Slotting ur own member for loot is not against the rules, as the reason you are targeting the member is to loot him, not to prevent others from attacking him, which is what the basis of slot filling is, to prevent others from attacking the nation in question.

I cbf to read the rest of the thread, nor do I have the time for it right now. But I would like to address some of this. These 2 nations did not send minimal units to fight a war. No, instead, they sent minimal units to beige a target, as would anyone who gave the post a few more seconds of their time. Understand, these nations aren't fighting a war; thry are raiding. Why go mill up to 5/5/5/3 and waste tens of millions on milling up, when you can just attack with a few thousand soldiers? This is more cost efficient, and allows your other improvements to make u money whilst u are raiding the target. Again, what I said earlier. It is more cost efficient to go with the least troops possible to beige the target, rather than mil up, and lose millions of steel for tanks, and much more for daily income. As for beiging to protect, how does that make sense? If they wanted to protect the nation via beige, why not allow other pirates to beige said target? Would that not get the same result, with less effort? As I stated earlier, I didn't really read what Sphinx posted, but your ruling, and the logic behind it does not make any sense.

Add to that, this clearly wasn't planned out. Earlier in the day he was asking how much score he needed to make an aa, lmao.

I don't know. You tell me. Why would anyone buy credits if they are so poor ingame? This game is not P2W. If it was, there would be no cap on credits used per month. Y'all need to stop complaining and just play the game.

People aren't forced to spend actual money to buy creds. They can just buy em off the market. And if they don't like the prices, well, sucks to suck. You are merely trying to find a problem where there isn't one.

Sweeeeeet Ronny D!

Maybe stop posting racist shit on ur nation, and you won't get the strike. As they say, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I can't believe that some people still read/reply to Noctis 2.0.

Hm. Just looks awfully small to be a bank, lol.

Given the size of this alleged "bank", I wouldn't be surprised if the member was just VMing, and asked for his holdings back.

Shit is a bad word? Might as well think heck, frick, and the such are swear words too.

Have u ever heard of coordination?

Right, cause obviously this is alliance affairs section worthy...

What's with the rudeness?

Hey @JMKeynes. Your cities aren't powered. Probs should get a handle on that, and then reply to troll comments on this thread.

Let's be fair. It takes more money to jill spies, than the spies are worth, or at least that was the case last global. I may be out of touch atm. Either way, if you spend most of ur time spying spies, there will be very little respite from that to spy units, and that's to add on to the fight that using spies as a team is already hard enough. Why make it harder?

Sounds about right.

Ah, yes, let's make nukes the most powerful unit in the game. Sheepy can rename the game, 'Politics and Nukes'.
