Utopia

[daddy_4_eyes]

THE WAR IS OVER! Now I can finally rebuild and get an army. I'm currently 502 acres, but i just won 80 acres in a war, and i'm gonna gets me another 80 tomorrow

Just go after the "land fat" people.(someone with 700acres and only 40,000gc worth is an easy target).

Sabre's dead. I couldn't find his province

Grimlock is winning, 1000+ acres. Longboysfan is 2nd with about 822 acres, EKA is on 655acres, I'm on 502 (580 by midday tomorrow) and Jod is on 399acres.

Pretty good progress so far.

you need to get the enemies cb. I am assuming you don't know how to do that, but thats simple. You go to mystics and put in the kingdom/island of the person u wish to attack, where it says select spell you choose crystal ball. Now if that spell works, the enemies thrown screen will appear, and u just have to copy and paste it into angel just like it was your throne thingy. Then that will go in the enemies side, u fill in the attackers side and it will tell you your chance of winning

AHHHH Thank You...now i can make some serious progress.

i've just finished my transfer from explorer to attacker, and am beginning to grow, but will be at war soon, see how good my kd really is. Hope to grow heaps in this war.

Tell me which kd you're at war with and i'll attack them too (free land since they gotta concentrate on the war )

Gotta get more archers, cause 3500 just isn't enough. Got hit yesterday and lost 65acres Shouldn't have sent all my troops to raze a troublemaker in our kd (he started attacking us and said he'll take us all down, hahah, he's dead now).

Not a good idea since your gains go down if you are attacking a province that is at war with another war.

Yeah, i suppose. Main reason why i would want to attack a kd at war is that there's a smaller chance of getting retaliated against. Something I've had trouble avoiding lately

I just made a massive hit (my biggest ever at least), now i'm praying he can't break through my 3400 archers and 500 Knights while the rest of my army is recovering. Have a look at this hit :

Your forces arrive at HephaestustheViking (14:25), and battle begins quickly...

Our army has emerged victorious on the battlefield!
Your army has taken 89 new acres! Taking full control of your new land will take 12 days. Your new land will be available on January 20th, YR2. 367 peasants also settled on your new lands.

We lost 139 Knights and 111 War Horses in this battle. Our forces will be again available on January 20th, YR2.
We killed about 200 enemy troops. We also imprisoned 88 additional troops in our Dungeons.

 

[eagleskickass]

i just lost 105 acres today
Back to 611 acres, hit a bit of a no growth spot:S

 

[Longboysfan]

clippin along as an Elf - 900 acres - 8400 archers
3000- elf lords - high DPA.
over 100,000 gc net worth.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

I'm currently 632 acres with another 28 acres becoming available in 9hrs time. The guy i stole 89 acres off tried retaliating, but "failed miserably". So instead he stole my food, cast drought and vermin on me. At one stage i was down to 9000 bushells of food. I have been doing thievery opps on really small provinces hoping to break through (bout 0.25TPA makes it hard to steal), and have managed to grap a bit of food. I have offered to exchange 4000 runes and 100,000gc for 150,000 bushells but the damn americans won't be online till late tonight.

I'm doing alright now, but it seems we might be at war with the viking kd that i hit for 89 acres. They can't break me so they took revenge on other provinces in my kd, so we've been taking revenge on them, and so on. (hit someone for only 28acres today due to kd rules).

All in all, i'm hoping to reach 1000acres before the next war. If i can achieve that i should be safe from most attackers.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

The DPA's are becoming rediculous! I sent 45,000 modified offensive pts against a 700acres Orc and still didn't break through! Its as if these people have like a 70% draft rate and all their soldiers get trained into defense specs!

I've slowed down my growth quite considerably and am getting my DPA up too. Haven't got around to calculating it, but i've got 4100 archers on 580 acres (3600 elites too). I've only been broken once in the last 5 attacks i've suffered, and that was by a 1200acre province who stole single figures of land off me (9acres i think it was).

Our kd is gonna go to war soon, we're getting board with random hits

 

[eagleskickass]

Well our kd STILL hasn't had a war. We declared hostilities on a kd, obviously they didn't like that cause they declared peace:S

That is quite extreme dpa, but then there are a lot of other targets with significantly less dpa. Surely you cb the target b4 you hit them? assume mp always and send 3% over - it never fails. (if avian and faery, you might have to test for TW).

I usually do, but it fizzled twice on that fella so i figured if i send as much power as i did there's no way he can defend it. Obviously i was wrong.

I've got a different question for you. How do you get your net worth up? I probably look fat right now with 650acres and only 78,000gc NW (which makes me an attractive target, even though i have a fairly good dpa). I heard stables can raise it, but what else helps?

 

[grimlock]

Networth values:

Peasant 1
Wizard 6
Soldier 2
Horse 1/5
Specialist 5
Acre 15
Avian Offence Specialist 6
Building(both complete and under construction) 15
Elite 8
Gold 1/1000
Thief 6
Science 1/35

So I would say have more elites?

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

I've reverted back to an explorer. When i send my elites out to battle it just leaves me very open to attacks, so i might explore for a while yet till i'm much bigger (over 1000acres).

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

I'm about 800 acres now due to exploring ( i traded some gc for soldiers, so i've managed to speed exploring up a bit). My NW is only 90,000, but i'm gonna start training elites instead of defence specs now.

 

[Longboysfan]

up to 1200 acrea.
with over 12,000 archers
and 6000 additional elites.
Plus over 2600 thieves and 300 mages.
Draft rate is set at 61%.

We're at war with 37:8 So they are focusing only on my group.
Anyone who would attack them will get major win's without anyone retaliating.

You may want to focus on getting your homes to 15%
mines 15%
farms 14%
and spread the rest out.
Then train to get your DPA up to 40 per at the least.
your Thieves and mages per to at least 2.

Then pick and choose your spots.
loof to see who just attacked and their level.
those troops are not at home and reduce their DPA.
Jump them then.
But don't wait too long their troops return while you are away also.

DAMN you D4E
I should just inform you that u r SERIOUSLY land fat.
I could come through and break you WITH your army home, and i am 70 acres smaller. I can break you with only 3/4 of my army.
You r THE PERFECT target for an attacker, i would seriously train some defense and train it fast!

If i was looking for a target, and u weren't off bigfooty, i would be licking my lips right now cause angel is predicting a 100% chance of winning, and a 102 acre land gain!
But i won't hit you i promise

Hahaha, thats what you think. I've got lots of defence specs, which apparently don't add much to your nw. I've also got 12% forts, plus 110% Util, which adds to the defence points. I also always ensure i have mp on. I've got about 40,000 defence points, which aint too bad. I've also stopped exploring and am now training more elites, so by this time tomorrow i should have in excess of 50,000 defence pts.

I know its not that much defence, but a 950 acre province attempted to invade me last night, and they "failed miserably" But yeah, i've realised i'm land fat, and i'm training elites as we speak.

Don't worry, i'll survive. You learn from your mistakes.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Yeah, i just calculated my dpa, its about 45. And with about 900 elites and archers in training, it'll climb up even more.

Stop scaring me EKA

 

[eagleskickass]

good to see you are rectifying it.
Just seemed way to little, i mean if u sent out your elites u only would have left 3000 archers, that would have been way to much
Well keep up the good work, your going well, i aint going as well as i should be, but am getting there.

Is that 45 with your army home or away?
u need to have about 45 DpA left at home when you send your army out, thats a minimum i reckon.

With my army at home. But I'm aware that when i send them out i'll be weak, but it doesn't really affect me since i'm an explorer. But yeah, i've got over 1400 elites and defence specs in training with 800 soldiers waiting to be trained (short on gc right now). I took your advise and am trying to get more defences.


P.S. I made my own buildings calculator Calculates bonuses and stuff.
