To me a perfet attack team would have no miners at all and live solely on farming and a good CO. Think about it. At war they could turtleshell and with no income the enemy is powerless.



Wasn't it Brothercrit and co who all sent their uu to one account with an unbeatable def and covert to keep their income safe - and then they just farmed anyone they wanted....memory's fuzzy from that long ago. :lol:

Re: Big defenses, small armys?

They are annoying because they screw up defence rank, now I've to build too much def to go in top 100 :evil: ...Better not the amount of them increase or I'll press a certain button a few times... :-D
Nah not attack/raid button...sabotage button as some of them have sometimes 0 spies loooool
Then eventually don't even send pm to them they'll never know who it was :o :o :D

Biggest def I had was hmmm 195bil when I had 15mil army size before ascending to Prophet, and my strike was 210bil lol :P

Especiallly for asgards who are peaceful creatures who would seek peace rather than war.

Even more temptating to mass them! :twisted:

Re: Big defenses, small armys?

It bugs me when people hit me for 16bil. Especially as I have about 150bil def.

:?

Surely the repairs use most of that up? And turns arent exactly cheap...

Re: Big defenses, small armys?

I'm willing to bet most of the ones with big defenses can't get online that often and unless they have a pretty good defense they might as well delete coz they will have nothing left each of the 2-4 times per day they log in if they didn't have that defense in place.

Life as a newbie in SGW isn't easy and it's even worse if you have a life. Personally i will farm for 2 bill off a zero defense account, but i know people who farm for a lot less and in this day and age it's quite easy to get enough income to make over 1.5 bill every 8-9 hrs.

yes, of course they can do the zero income technique, but then they can't save up for buying market trades without abusing brokers or getting others to broker them and if you log in 2-3 times per day it's not that likely they can manage that.

Plus i bet they laugh so loud when people like me see some rank 20k player with 4 bill out and attack without spying to find they get "massively repulsed" and loose 40k strike troops :lol:

I've always sabbed them and then PMed them, telling them I could have sabbed them more, but that my point is that they should invest in a covert. :lol:
