Join the Royals

**DrunkN** · 11-01-2013, 07:26 PM

Join on in everybody, I need people to invade.

**Kugyince** · 11-01-2013, 07:26 PM

I'll expect everyone's devout worship within the month.

**DrunkN** · 11-01-2013, 07:38 PM

How do I go about enabling it so that I'm messaged whenever I'm invaded?

**Dudebro** · 11-05-2013, 10:28 PM

More people should play this. If you join now you won't be too far behind. Just get some soldiers and buy them gear. Use your spies to see what other people are doing and plan accordingly. The Villains and the Royals are down a player so consider joining them first.

I keep forgetting this exists.

**DrunkN** · 11-06-2013, 07:49 AM

At this point I'm just raiding smaller armies for stuff, but I'm only attacking Kong, Tenser, and Dudebro to reduce their troop count to something that I can hit a little easier.

Dudebro's defense bonus is absurd and I can't come out of a raid successfully, which means we should all gang up on him at this time.

I will agree to abstain from raiding anyone who sends me troops. 200 troops will earn you 5 days, and 400 troops will earn you 12 days.

At the time of this posting DrunkN has an Offense of ~15,500 but only a defense of ~450.

As is such that I have no real allies, I keep my soldier count to a small number so that I don't generate very much money while I'm away. This means that there's far less money that can be gained from raiding me.

**Kugyince** · 11-06-2013, 04:00 PM

It also means you generate far less coins from mining.

Ideally I do not make my money from mining.

**Kugyince** · 11-06-2013, 05:42 PM

That's quite the risk you're taking. Most people spend their money as soon as they mine it.

Someone with ~1,000 troops can spend 10 turns to mine for about 800 coins. That's 80 coins per turn.

When you attack someone and succeed you win either their maximum coin amount banked or coins equal to your troop count, whichever is less. Example: If you attack Dudebro successfully with 100 troops and suffer a 15 troop casualty, the most you can earn for your 3 turns spent is 85 coins. 85 coins / 3 turns = 28.3 coins per turn. And that's only if you succeed, if you have 100 troops without suffering a lot of casualties, and if your target has 85 coins on them.

**DrunkN** · 11-07-2013, 03:39 PM

I don't believe that troop trade currently works. Has anyone else had any luck sending troops?

**DrunkN** · 11-20-2013, 07:43 AM

Is there any inefficiency in spending money on simple weapons when you already have more simple weapons than you do troops? Based on my attack rating growth, I've yet to see any.

**Kugyince** · 11-20-2013, 09:38 AM

No, there isn't. That's how I had over a million defense and offense with just a 1,000 troops last time.

**Dudebro** · 12-01-2013, 01:38 PM

Well it looks like I won by a landslide and it's time to reset this, if there's still any interest.

I think troop and gold transfer need to be rectified, and a system that prevents you from attacking people in your own nation might help garner interest as a sort of team game.
