Keep a good defence for the first few days, ill send you the cash to support it, it will stop all those attacks you were getting before.

I suggest a defence of at least what I sent you.

mrmitchell · May 13, 2003, 20:21

If anyone else is out there this minute and reading this, I've got two things:

1) Black Flag (10) is defenseless against Stone Bombardment, and yes, I am in the final phase of eliminating him.

(I don't forget who crosses me

)

2) Anyone need any units? I'm not strong enough to keep up with ALL of whut Barley (StormWarrior2) sent me. (But don't worry, it all came in use!

)

EDIT: Okay, Barley, - everyone else, disregard 2)

EDIT: Actually, I think Black Flag doesn't have a military left at all...just beat the crap out of him

Namor (#68) is being dickheaded....

Do with him as you please

Your military is shamed by your attack on such a weak opponent. Many desert!

he just took 2000 acres off me and they're being shamed by getting their farms back?

I put him into protection. This is going to be annoying if we have limited attacks while theres like 10 of us he can hit. I hope we get the full 20 or so hits back if he launches an attack

germanos · May 14, 2003, 13:09

I love this when you get online:

20.3 hours ago
namor (#68) attacked you!

You held your defense and your enemy was repelled, but you lost:
1,329 Zeppelins
You managed to destroy:
56,477 Zeppelins

Barley · May 14, 2003, 13:37

He hit me, i was wondering when it would start.

Barley · May 14, 2003, 13:40

Yes this going to be annoying, he took like 60k land and we only get about 20k back.

He's still in protection!

Barley · May 14, 2003, 13:43

What sort of strategy can we use, hes always going to make a land profit when he attacks ant player with more land than him.

We need to figure out how to play the game and how to attack to get the most benefit. I imagine he will target Ottomania (#16) or Sheng-ji Yang (#49) later tonight or tomorrow!

At the moment I dont know what we can do to stop him!

Barley · May 14, 2003, 13:49

1st idea!

A bit radical............

Disband the clan, divide up the land by attacking each other so we all have about 50k, then divide up the money that we all have (I have $32bil).

Any other ideas?

Barley · May 14, 2003, 13:52

Im not spamming but this is my 100th post.

If we'd stayed in OT id have taken another year to get there.

Disbanding the clan would take care of the problem?

And BTW, you can give land, just like you can give money or units IIRC, so I see no point in changing what we have.

I just hope i get online sometime when he has no shield so i can steal most of that 2bill and then he'll just be a regular target waiting to be eaten.
I've almost got as much cash as you now

tree of gold gives me 155mill heh .. any1 got any spare mana they aint using ?

Lazerus · May 14, 2003, 15:47

Upkeep (roughly)

Infantry - £0.5
Siege - £1
Aircraft - £2
Ships - £4

just a mental note to myself and any1 else who was wondering why selling units, cashing for 500 turns then buying them back is a good idea

Lazerus · May 14, 2003, 16:09

1 Sheng-ji Yang (#49) 117,434 $207,450,943 Zerk Dark Elf Present

Its my land now !

Any mana is appreciated please, need to make money.
Free for all on #46 aswell !

mrmitchell · May 14, 2003, 17:20

Sorry, but I have to go...I'm beating up on 10 again. I'll be gone for a full day so I'm going to buy up a lot of units before I go for defense against Mr. Attack-Happy (namor.)

EDIT: BTW, I could use some money too. (Mil upkeep.)

DITTO: Yeah, dunno how $200mil is going to keep me through...in good news, however, 10 is down to 300 acres. However, I'm not a killer, so if one of you want to finish him while I'm gone, feel free. (Which would make me a torturer instead.

) But about cash...

just a billion will do, nothing fancy, but you can send more if you want.

EDIT: 10 has no defenses

Barley · May 14, 2003, 19:09

Ive sent you $4bil mrmitchell, hope its not to late.

How do you send land - germanos

Laz, ive sent you 4 mil bandwidth.

Barley · May 14, 2003, 19:22

Laz, it says "That empire is far too large to require your aid!" - sorry.

Guess your just a fat git lol.

HIT ME FOO took about 11000 acres from me. Trying to get some of it back from nationofryan, considering HIT ME FOO has protection.

Wittlich · May 14, 2003, 22:30

Can we have a run-up of everyone's "Game Name" connected to their Apolyton Name?

It would make organization much easier. I'll start:

Game Name: Wittlich Apolyton name: Wittlich

Nice and simple.

What about everyone else?

Barley, ally my clan zerk in your clan management section, you can send unlimited aid there. I'm upto 22bill cash and 0.5mill food, net gain of 7bill this morning.
Could only buy 23mill jets aswell ... black market ran out

I find it REALLY suspicious how he went from 2bill to 18bill while at the same time #7 dropped alot of NW, and we all know how much NW cash is making up at these later stages of the game ... dammit no amount of units is going to be worthwhile if he spends all that on zepplins.
Could somebody start embezzling it, i've gotta go now and my wizzards desert when i cast it anyways

Lazerus · May 15, 2003, 08:30

Also im curious to know if the target goes into protection via a certain amount of attacks made OR attacks succeeded, im guessing it will be the later but if it is the former then we could all help each other out by performing attacks with just 1 unit and keeping each other defended.

Barley · May 15, 2003, 12:47

Ive hit him again about 4 times, #46 is already back down to 26k land (most of what he got). I think the key is to build a defence he cannot penetrate no matter what the cost to us. I am making a profit of about £8-10bit per 400 turns of cashing so can afford to buy and dispose of a defence of about 20,000 of each unit type. I suspect those of us over 50k land can afford to do the same. I can distribute spare cash if anyone needs help to do the same (am currently running with a float of about $40bil).

If we all buy masses of units not only will he have to buy about 10mil to attack us (imagine the effect of the clan defence as well - lol). If he is having to buy so many units to attack with the poor cash flow and reserves he has 15 attacks will mean he has to sustain about 100 turns with a net turn loss of about $20-30mil.

Its worth a try. I think it will certainly minimise how much land grabbing he can do. Once he's attacked we get 20 attacks on him plus one every hour, with this strategy we should be able to contain him.

One other point, I think any attacker needs to have 10-20% of your net worth to attack you.

Laz,

Not sure on the possibility of #46 and #7 collaborating, try and monitor it with spy reports. My guess would be that #7 just has a lot of troops and the drop is accounted for by his fluctuating numbers.
