I respectfully request you recall your attack, 19 hrs is plenty of time for me to defend that island, you better have a big fleet.

Cheeky. We're still getting him right?

[eproxy]

Yep, although my attacks have slowed I'm still sending them^

[mmupatton]

Last I checked, his island (and total) score was 51. From ik.uk I seem to recall that's the minimum score if you have one of each building. We can let him grow a little before revisiting... *evil*

51 is only the minimum score if said player had a statue. Otherwise its a score of 5 (I believe).

Omerta attacked with huge fleet, but failed. All 6500 stoners sent to aid Skulks was destroyed, but Skulks still has his isle.

So, I plugged the unit losses into a spreadsheet.

Cost for defender:
407230 gold or 55.5 days of production for one island.
70270 stone or 9.5 days of production for one island.
54980 lumber or 7.5 days of production for one island.

Cost for the attacker:
361460 gold or 49.2 days of production for one island.
33270 stone or 4.5 days of production for one island.
270310 lumber or 36.8 days of production for one island.

My conclusions:
1. It is kind of curious how a single island player with no friends gets that kind of resources for a hit.

2. This was expensive for us. Gold is the limiting resource (at least for me) and spending 55 days worth of production to keep a single island smells like a bad deal. And that is without the building damage that the cats did.

My understanding of the combat algorithm is that it favors overwhelming force. In order for us to avoid costly defenses, maybe we should aim for more spears on fully built islands? Maybe 2000? And a stronger stoner reaction force? Maybe 20K?

Bigger armies are the answer to everything yet cost and time doesn't always allow for them. We had to kill what he had in the end I suppose it was better to do it sooner rather than later^

As for him having that many resources I think it just about fits, after all 49 days would put him back in Decemeber no? Add the other units he still had on his isle and that would probably give around the begining of November when (some) people were finishing off their mines and starting to build small faming fleets. Oh and his account does have an old ID^

My main now has over 1600 spears, and I aim to double that over the next month or so. My #2 has 950 built or in the queue, and again I'll be looking to push that towards 2000 as soon as possible. I think I'll top out around 3K spears on each isle, that should discourage most attackers even when megafleets start appearing...

Omerta didn't have a stone wall. So his minimum score could be 4. Not sure without working it out properly.

Exalts Iny for keeping it tidy
