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 :P

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. :P

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. :P


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