Ok, I have always understood anti covert as being 0 losses if you attack and they have zero defence, and a crapload if you attack and they do have a defence, of any nature, Regardless of the strength of this defence. Can someone please explain this to me?

As with all battles, this one has been recorded for the official history of your realm. You, of course, are the first to know the results as they are reported directly to you first. This is the official report of the battle:




The army of Player stormed the realm of Gordash!



Player sent:
998,867 Anti-Intelligence Drone and 386,423 Super Questers and 8 Questers

Careful and thourough observation records that the troops were armed as follows:

386,423 Super Questers have Equipped Military Fleet
8 Questers have Equipped Military Fleet




Opposite this, stood the forces of Gordash



Gordash resisted the aggressors with:
18,290 Super Repulsors and 986 Repulsors
Careful and thourough observation records that the army carried the following arsenal:

Putting down the chronicled battle report, you cross reference and call for the corrosponding military armory reports to see the state of your weapons after such a battle...

Considering what was available at the time in the realm of Gordash, it is recorded that

This appears to be different to how the anti system used to work, I may be wrong, but I'm 95% sure I'm not, if so why has their been a change to the fundamental war gameplay without anyone being notified? I apologise if I'm wrong, but I can't find this update anywhere.

His defence wasn't 0, as your report indicates one of his supers was equipped with a defence weapon, thus your anti's died.

He was attacking, he lost about 150 men, normally you would lose sending a mil many many more.

hmm my apologies, I didn't read properly. Maybe the anti-loss percentage has been reconfigured to reflect (more realistically) the defensive potential of the target. To be honest I reckon your defence super did rather well and should maybe even given a medal, he took down 127 of them , your surviving spies however might need a lesson on how to hide better

I know... I supsect that its been reconfigured as well, however I think that things such as this should be posted... little gameplay changes have a huge effect on strategy.

Nah it's normal I remember when I killed spies or got my spies killed, that if my def was small, very little lossses would happen, BUT if the guy had small strike, I dont think losses would be minimal for him. I believe more difference between strike/def in percents there is, less losses there are, apart of 0 def people that kill no assassins.

That would make a little sense... most acers have low strikes so the damages would be small.

Its okay
The 5% AC loss when loosing is only the maximum.
You can loose less when you have lots of AC and the defender has only a small def. I also used that as a tactic before:)

LOL

A "rule" reconfigured for Omega no less hahaha

as far as i kno, its been like this for a while.
u lose up to a max of 3% (i think its 3%, mite b 5%) when you attack. the higher the defence the more AC units you will lose.

and my reasoning behind ACers having small strikes is to minimise the repair costs. i mean, would you AC when you had to pay 500mill-1bill each time u hit with 15 turns when you could pay next to nothing and get the same results?
