Which bit ?

This update benefited ACers, more power to those with the insane $Levels$


What difference does it make to you any Mr WarRunner, didnt you quit already, sell your account, mouth off about the game being dead, and stamp your feet saying you were leaving to play another game ????

Mezzo, just answer the question in this discussion thread, your obsessiveness should be left in the garbage thread, not out here in a very legit discussion.

Okay so, who exactly is going to benefit from your alternative? Details and tell us why it is viable and if it benefits smaller up and coming accounts/players, or will it just benefit one side in a current war, and perhaps hinder the other, do tell please thanks.

This is a never ending cycle, 1 of the main reasons i hit vac mode was because of some players able to inflict max damage with having no defense, has defense even been linked to strike yet???

A much more simplistic idea would have been to make it that strike weapons either cannot be sold or have a 5% resale value, and go up 1% per turn ( if they are not used )

To stop the exploit of having say 1mill supers trained, having someone lifer 100k of them then build up to lose them from massing,

Make it that you can lose 10% Supers for every person you hit.

So if i attack say

Player A
Player B
Player C

They can each remove 10% from me, this would mean that 1 man massing an entire alliance would have interesting results, you could also add in there that Lifering for Super is not protected from PPT, this stops the MASS MASS MASS hide on PPT.

This lifer suicide attack is ridiculous. You added it to solve a problem, but it is very ineffective against that problem.


I have read something along the lines, that it was made like this "to stop overkill", but when doing so, you forgot the point why it was added in the first place.


Regards.


The ratios are wrong, and because this attack kills more mercs, it is rather pointless. Also the mercs do not produce income and are very cheap while the supers are trained from units that could produce income; the sniping issue has a very cheap way around this "feature". IMO this attack should not touch the mercs.

Wasn't this to stop people from storing uu in reg attack soldiers? Cause it doesn't do that

If you read you can only do 10% damage. With
3 lifer target 1 attack marc.
5 lifer target 1 attack soldier.
10 lifer target 1 super attacker making up the cost. This is not meant to kill every unit that is in someones attack slots.

That was the initial idea, but it would restrict gameplay too much.

understood

It would, but this update does very little other than to provide another means of wasting your lifers on something...

Attack soldiers should not be invulnerable, I had 300m attack soldiers trained the other day with 0 defence for several days, doing the usual sniper thing.

Did anybody kill them? No - because it would have cost 1.5b to do so.

And Killing someone entire strike without any major looses is a dumb idea.

You shouldnt be able to have 1 person kill anothers whole army aside from miners/lifters with some good looses to the person doing it. It shouldnt matter that people use normal attack troops to store uu. Many people dont like training spies, to untrain them to train as miners. To do that so many times, the person would have a whole account of lifters. Which many people dont want to do, since it costs 10% to be turned into lifters.

*necro*

1. Lifer Suicide attacks now recorded properly: if AM/AS/ASS killed, they are no longer recorded as though you killed AC, but separately (on attack/defence).
   Lifer Suicide display in logs corrected (same grouping issue).
2. Lifers themselves, of course, being terrorists, are not recorded.
   (Might be grouped as 'Civilian Casualties' though, eventually.)

Now, a couple of years after the introduction of the feature, there have been numerous (attempts at) Lifer Suicide attacks. You know how effective they are, how they feel, and what they cost.
I hereby open a discussion for ONE week (7 days) in which I will listen to arguments on modifying rates and that '10%'. One week, after which a change will be made (immediately).
Go ahead, make your cases.

I would like to see it be 2 lifers to kill 1 AC, 3 lifers to kill a soldier or merc and 4 lifers to kill a super soldier, With 20% killable in one day.

I have no case as to why, But it would help stop snipers loading up uu as attack soldiers thus allowing a bit of payback, But still at a cost.

I would like to see a lifer suicide skill level introduced in a similar way to covert and ac levels

Reasons.

Lifers are untrained units that just kill themselves while killing others so why would they be able to kill something that is trained at different levels. for instance.. if you lifer suicide a level 30 anti cover you will kill the same as lifering a level 40 anti covert as long as you have sufficient attack force to initiate the battle. But the level 40 covert are higly skilled so does it not make sense that they would fight and evade the lifers better?

So if you added a lifer suicide skill level, it would make it more controllable in have many ac and soldiers you kill.

You could make a maximum kill rate but make it so you can only achieve this if the lifer skill matches the AC skill and the amount of other units could be based off this percentage too.

So if you are lifering an AC level of 40 with a lifer level of 10 then you would only achieve 25% of the maximum kills all round.

Hope this makes sense..

I am happy to see this finally installed however the 10:1 is not a good ratio...if supers are defenseless it should be close to the 2:1 for killing ac.

I would like for lifers to target ac first, even if the target is defenceless. Right now noobs can ac with 0 def without much worry about being lifered.
