Because you've sunk a couple of mine, which I will hate you for a long time.

So, some numbers I was going over:

When I first declared war on Nopon Merchant: His losses were 644,000 to my 2,000. After that, we tried to call a temporary truce since his armies weren't responding to his commands. That resulted in the war casualties being reset.

The current casualties in the war Between Nopon Merchant and I: My losses are 1.61 million to his 231,000...

Also: War between Truthseeker4449 and I: My losses are 1.19 million to his 135,000...

I know I've doomed myself by declaring war on everyone, but still... What the hell happened? Why does this always happen to me? Was that first war just a fluke and in reality, I was doomed from the start of all this? Am I just that crappy at this game? These questions, plus many others, race through my head when I look at all that's happened...

And this is why I've decided to never play this stupid game again once I'm annihilated from this one...

You're missing a couple critical numbers. First off, you've sunk four of my battleships, something no one else has yet done to me. You also destroyed 10 of my railguns, again a first. I hate you for both. You had me concerned for a while and still have me slightly concerned, but now with one fleet eliminated and an invasion being nicely repelled thanks to my strategically positioned railguns, it's not really an issue.

Where I started to regain control of the situation is when you attacked my railguns, yes I lost them, however my 54 artillery were able to start pounding away on you while tanks and men arrived to nearly double my strength.

Men in the water also sink like rocks, particularly after already being weakened from fighting battleships.

Ultimately, I think the real lesson to take away from this is that it is much easier to defend than attack. Particularly where water is involved.

I've also noticed that you guys tend to focus on building up your armies and only do slight upgrades to your provinces, while I tend to build up my provinces first, then focus on my armies. What I end up doing is putting myself behind you guys in military might, and once I've fallen back, there's no catching up...

by **Truthseeker4449** 10th August 2015, 5:53 pm

Only do slight upgrades? A Lv5 fortress cuts damage by a staggering 91% It's one of the reasons I whooped your ass so hard in The Great Tea War. We pay for stuff as we can, though yes it does seem like we prioritize military more. Mainly because if you have a ton of artillery or a ton of tanks, you can rape a lot of things. However there is a time to focus on defense and other things.

If you share a border with a hostile nation (or pretty much any nation in a gold round), then hell yeah, build forts as fast as you can. If you're off by yourself, then Lv 5 forts can wait, and perhaps any forts for that matter.

Also the falling behind stuff isn't quite true. Going into the war with Lux, you had either the largest, or second largest military. Out classed mine by 10%, though I had disabled recruitment to focus on mechs. Actually scared me by how much larger you had become.

I don't understand the point of disabling recruitment to focus on mechs. Can you elaborate about this strategy?

by Lief Katano 10th August 2015, 6:03 pm

You don't have to use resources (e.g. money) on new recruits, so you can focus on the more powerful mechanical forces.

Probably it.

by **Truthseeker4449** 10th August 2015, 6:21 pm

Close but it's not money, it's oil. For each unit created, you consume more oil. But if that oil is being consumed by a tank or artillery, then it's worth more than an infantry unit.

I almost always make sure my fortresses are at level 5 in every province I own. But when you have 50 to 100 artillery units, 20+ battleships, and 20+ railguns, that defense is meaningless...

I think ever time I've played a round with you guys, it's been as an island nation (Great Britain, Japan, uhhhhh....what other rounds have we played?).

I noticed that, but, like with fortresses, having a nice army of troops is not going to do much if they're being bombarded to bits before they can attack. I do think they have a slight advantage though since they can be swarmed easier than other units. I noticed that, even with the larger groups of railguns and battleships, men alone, if they're a large enough group, have a considerably larger amount of power (example of that: I think my group of 100-200 had around 200 or so power to your 20+ battleships 50 power).

by **Truthseeker4449** 10th August 2015, 6:54 pm

Strength ≠ Attack Damage.

For example, one of my armies has a strength of 1211.1, but an attack damage of 183.7

Mechs generally don't have this drop in attack strength. For example my twenty remaining battleships have a strength of 117.7, deal the same in damage regardless of distance. Railguns do have reduced attack damage in comparison to their usual strength and ranged damage.

by Nopon 10th August 2015, 10:37 pm

for strategy, I actually focused on my provinces first and built up my resource production by boosting rail roads, harbors and factories, then from there when I could I began to build railguns then when it was time, I shifted from peace mode to war mode and produced a mountain of tanks to defend with (along with rail guns, though I should have built more battle ships, there was legit no way for me to protect the islands jokool took ;o;)

by **Truthseeker4449** 10th August 2015, 11:53 pm

So... if jokool doesn't want to play anymore and Greece has no internet, are we really going to have another game?

by Guest 11th August 2015, 9:26 am

I might try another game someday with a new strategy in mind, but not for a while at least.
