Rebuild after being massed

For newcomers to ask questions to the other users... this section will usually answer most questions... requesting resources (naq/UUs/ATs) is not to be done here...

Rebuild after being massed

Ok, so I'm getting a little sick of getting massed for no reason. I mean, the last two times they only took 1 -3 bill total.

So I was wondering how do you guys cope and rebuild after having your MS and defensive weapons wiped out? I got my MS power back. I have roughly 1.4 mill defense soldiers, so thats alot of attacking.

Am I stuck just generating naq and attacking? It takes forever! I'm so sick of click,click,click. (Repeat) Just to rebuild my army. Its not even fun....

Whereas in a war at least you have a sense of vengeance etc etc

Re: Rebuild after being massed

Just don't build a defence bigger than about 100Bil (If any at all) and don't train more than about 3m spies.. Should eliminate the risk of being massed "for no reason" o_O

Re: Rebuild after being massed

Why would having a bigger defense than that increase my risk for being massed? (I could post the list of 64 1 turn attacks on me. I don't really see a reason to it for <1bill naq.)

I had a 300bill def., 600 bill anti covert... So I thought that'd be enough to prevent all that.

Re: Rebuild after being massed

90% of random massings are just so people can increase their ME (Military Experience)
If you have lots of stats that they could take down easily then you will most likely be targeted o_O

I would recommend getting a CO and not building up your defence until you plan on ascending ^_^

The 1AT hits was a MS massing, they were after her not your def or your naq. Sounds like a ME hit as well but it could be someone out to get you IDK.

Personally I'd say raid like mad and get a good farm list. Control your income and dont build to big a def or to big a MS.

Getting a good Co would help, or joining an alliance.

Re: Rebuild after being massed

So your saying I should focus now on building all things equal? Make sure my defense isn't to out of proportion (So I can retaliate with my own attack) or...?

yeah, something like that. Rule of thumb is dont train anything your not willing to lose. Controling ones income to not become a profitable target is the hardest part of todays SGW.

IDK why you were massed. Could be the race war related, could be a ME hit, could be many, many things beyond your control. Suck it up, move on, and mass someone back. Its just a game, they can't kill you, and they are no bear so they can't eat you.
