at what point does a person make a reasonable profit if they have a 300bil attack mothership and 8 100bil attack duels, and around 1.2 soldiers with weapons, roughly a 1.2tril strike off the following defences:
150bil defence
300bil defence
600bil defence
1.2tril defence
1.8tril defence (using AB assuming that the person is a LG, and is able to minimise losses)
2.4tril defence
thank you in advance

ps. maybe this is more suited to newbie questions??

My advice to you is stop worring about losses and this and that and just farm

600B(given those options) or less, no need to try cutting it close. Cause if AB kicks in on a close call your screwed and lose a lot.

hey nah i meant like
if a person has 800bil in attack planets, 300bil in MS and 1.2tril strike overall
at what point do they make profit off those defences
from what ive seen
150bil = 20bil
300bil = 30bil
600bil = 30bil
1.2tril = 60bil
this is just what i get hit for, was wondering if its the same with you guys as i want to know how much naq i should be able to keep out with out having it at risk for being taken by a certain player. lol

I always kept a 200 bill defense, and just logged in every couple hours I had free time before the war. Worked fine, just sleeping was a pain in the arse. It all depends on how much you login per day and how desperate a person is for naq.

they play 16 hours a day, take two breaks for 30mins each time, and i assume sleep the other 8 hours. they have an infinite amount of turns and suppliers, but you are tjp/fuall so people are alot more reluctant to hit you. lol

I'm talking before I was a part of FUALL. If I had 20+ bill out on a 200b defense, it was taken. It all depends on how often you bank and how big your income is. Even now, when I sleep I don't care if I get hit. It's bound to happen, even when I set Nox/Crit.

Indeed, and to know that point would be interesting.
(*thinks that was the question*)
And 16 hours? You may feel that way.. it's usually a lot less.

your combination doesn't work. They need a 200b strike to utilize their 100b strike planets, hence being 800b+200b+300bMS
also, ask blahh since u basicilly psoted his stats.

also, its a profit for any hit, basicilly especially if he only has 800k units trained.
