If you had max infantry, tanks, and planes (no ships), you would have 1760 score. You could updeclare to 3,080, there are 8 TEst nations below that score. If you and two of your buddies actually wanted to fight, you would be maxed and harpoon one of them with no counter risk, but you aren't, can't, and won't.

Sending 100,000 soldiers against 300,000 soldiers 3 times does not kill the 300,000 soldiers. 3 nations with 1,700 points attacking one with 3,000 will make a hole in the water. Anyway, I would really like to see you actually trying this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeeeet Ronny D Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 lol. They got hit by TEst because TEst wanted to hit them, not because "they could get away with it". They were millitarized anyways, might as well unload. .... That is pretty much what I said, "they could do it and get away with it." If you guys want peace without terms, I would recommend dropping as many nukes as possible on Test. They may say they dont care about their infra, but when their repair bills start climbing into the 200-300 million plus, and all they are doing is blowing up your super cheap infra, and not getting anything in return, they will peace out. Launching 1500-1800 planes in an airstrike 3 times a day times 1-3 opponents starts to add up after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabasstion Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 to expand upon greatnate, and because 'i think i can do the math' here are the current TFP nations that COULD be in the magic 1357 to 1782 score range WITHOUT buying ships, missiles, or nukes THAT HAVE NOT been war stressed in the last 5 days and here is a list of TFP nations that are currently fighting/recovering (most of them) that could hit this magic 1357 to 1782 score range you defined all told, it is 25 out of your 60 members could be in this magic range where you could attack and we could not counter. 42% of your alliance. another 2 could get there with minimal ship building, and another 31 would be so low of score they could not reach our lowest member. so to summarize: 18% of your alliance has not been involved in the war and could hit your magic range by building basic military 42% of your alliance could hit your magic range by building basic military with no ships 3% of your alliance could hit your magic range by building basic military with ships 52% of your alliance is outside of score consideration i think it is quite telling that you view building a basic military as an absurdity while your alliance is at war. "when we are attacked we defend ourselves" indeed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeeeet Ronny D Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 If you get 2 guys to build up some military and coordinate you could team up and take out VonNorman, he is wide open to attack, and he has a treasure you can steal!

Anyway, I would really like to see you actually trying this. the highest soldier count in test is 296k and that is a 5600 score nation. the average soldier count of test nations <2400 nation score is 165k. 3 people have routinely beaten nations with large military counts above them. if you want to see us actually trying this, just look here https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=6206 he had 405k soldiers, 33k tanks, 2430 planes, and 405 ships. i believe we were able to neutralize that army in 2 days with him putting up a good fight at the beginning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidude45454 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I find it amusing that TFP is trying to create nuances in the alliance name. Why not focus on the individual nations? Some like Jayne Lacey are pacifists - they would rather decom their militaries and negotiate peace than keep fighting. Some like Cromwell fit the fighting part better - they keep building up ships in the hopes of inflicting infra damage. But it's inevitable that TFP is a neutral alliance - neutral being defined as "a person, country, etc., that does not support either side of an argument, fight, war, etc." (from Merriam Webster). Just because an alliance supports itself during war does not mean that alliance isn't neutral - that's called common sense. So all I'm really seeing here is a bunch of salty TFP users complaining about how they're not in range, or how 3v1s aren't fair, or whatever. Deal with it - everyone is exposed to the same game mechanics. So if you would stop rambling about some honor bullshit and accept our flag (which is better than yours, BTW) then we can all call it a day and go home. If you want to keep fighting, fine. I want to get my infra destroyed count up anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is literally what we did to Ace last war, 3 5K nations beat an 8K nation, it's very doable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morts1 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I want to state our case clearly. We do not think TEst is inhabited by A-holes. I enjoyed getting to know my opponents and I am pretty sure it was the same for them. I know that was also the experience of others in our alliance. It seems only the worst of TEst post here (Sailor Jerry excepted) and I would like to see normal and friendly members of TEst post their opinions here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morts1 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 So everybody knows what's going on. here are the terms offered which was followed by two changes to the flag. If the message had stopped before the peace terms everything would have been sweet. I say let your members vote on whether the flag issue is acceptable to them just as I did in my alliance. I know there are TEst members that are wondering what the hell is going on here.

Instead, this time, we made again (you might have seen the one from GPA) a flag for you. Other then the GPA one, yours is kinda cool looking, so i hope you're not grumpy on us longterms We had our fun, and i'm sure you too.

Orfeas Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) So, are you all implying that having full military is as easy for someone with 9 cities and 12,000 infra with someone who has 11 cities and 21,000 infra? With less than 1500 infra per city, yes I can go full military in 5 days by destroying all my mines and keeping only power plants, commercial buildings and military buildings. My expenses for this military (at war) would be 1.7 million per day. My revenue would be 100,000 per day, not even enough to buy the resources I don't produce because of destroying farms and mines. But yeah, your calculators are right. I could have double points right now. P.S. Cromwell, that is a big flag at your post. No reason for such an advertisement.

The 1.7M is supposed to be worth it to you to fight for your alliance, hence the fighting in TPF. Also the proposed flag in the peace terms is awesome, hardly a huge humiliation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Suggesting we'll learn, hidude? Seabass-In my defense, I thought the war would end, so there was no reason to keep the war going on. I did deal about 700 infra damage on the nation I attacked, so at least I did do something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
