Attack Problem

[_Apophis__]

just declare war on the person then attack him ( you will take all the naquadah he has out ):smt046
im glad every1 is behaving in this section, keep it up
have a very nice day folks.

and actually, it makes perfect sense:

he had 1.1 mil naq, and you were only able to steal 650k cause hes significantly lower than you in rank. the rank modifier kicks in so that with such a rank difference, you should only steal about 30% each time, so the first time you stole about 330k with 15 turns, the next time u got 230k, then about 100k, and yea, thats why you got so little... rank modifier

yea sorry but the reason i replied as i did was "didn't have much effect on him" is about as ambiguous as it gets... what did you mean? your weapons didn't do as much damage as you expected? you didn't steal as big a percentage of his naq as you expected?

and actually, it makes perfect sense:

he had 1.1 mil naq, and you were only able to steal 650k cause hes significantly lower than you in rank. the rank modifier kicks in so that with such a rank difference, you should only steal about 30% each time, so the first time you stole about 330k with 15 turns, the next time u got 230k, then about 100k, and yea, thats why you got so little... rank modifier

Yeah...but why wouldn't it do the same for everyone else I have a go at?
It doesn't matter if it's above or below in rank...I've never seen / had that happen before...

I've edited the results...so that the damage is taken out...and put it on a table...so here you go...

Now...down the bottom is the first attack (coloured Green )
Up the top here is the last attack (coloured Red )

As you can see...I had very little effect on him in the first four rounds...
now before the start of the fifth...I spied and tried to use sabotage (unsuccessfully I might add ) and that's when it jumped ...but then three turns after that...it dropped back down to literally...nothing...

So hopefully that will help to answer a few of the questions that people have been asking...?

Any ideas...? Put 'em up here...

LOL! ALl those attacks have shredded his defenses. He doesnt have much.

[[SGC_ReplicÅtors]]

why would u keep attcking him in the first place even if u do have a couple 100 turns use them wisely, hit once find another target hit him and repeat its not hard

The 'bug' has already been solved. Rank modifyer, as explained by chunkysoup:

and actually, it makes perfect sense:

he had 1.1 mil naq, and you were only able to steal 650k cause hes significantly lower than you in rank. the rank modifier kicks in so that with such a rank difference, you should only steal about 30% each time, so the first time you stole about 330k with 15 turns, the next time u got 230k, then about 100k, and yea, thats why you got so little... rank modifier

Next time you attack, declare war to get a larger percentage of their money (100%)
