If I wanted to really stop the sabbs in their tracks how many cheap weapons would I need?


I would like to buy so many cheap def 5 weapons that even after eight turns a sabber would not have even blown through them all. Discouraging the sabber. His spies would cost more than the weapons and he'd get bored. How many cheapos will I need? I'm asgard. So go figure.

Hopefully I can stock them to stop three "eight turn" days worth against me. I'm pretty high covert. If anyone thinks they can spy me and have a look your welcome too it. Not saying its impossible just saying be my guest! So you will know what you're dealing with to better help you help me. (to see spies and level if that will matter)

hard to say since it does depend on the difference of ur covert

sometimes they'll kill one, sometimes more so there is no real safe number.

If you know a thing or two about this I will send you my Covert level, rank, and rating. Or just spy on me like stated.

Dont need numbers exact either! Just a guestimate.

someone bought 1000 of the second smallest and with 8x the covert i only destroyed about 400 at the cost of 80 spies, not worth it, i think the whole sab thing needs to be changed

So you know what I'm trying to get at Huh?

Agreed. The covert needs a swift kick in the ass. But I wanna take advantage of its weakness while I can

people can only sab 8 weapons before they get maxed out so sabbing is pointless i can buy like 8 weapons an hour so its not worth buying small weapons

i know, it is stupid, and sabbing costs a fortune in spies anyway, the only rason i get covert is so i canc stats of top players, which comes in very usefull sometimes
