You prob tried to AB or GS him lol...

If he's in GDI you can't do that unless he has hit you more than once.

I am an EE noob.

it's because it's almost the end of set. your nw has to match within like 99% or you can't hit

so free land if you time it right before the 99% nw match comes into play?

this would be a bug, so if i start to do it.. deletion i assume? (serious question, heh)

You can't grab someone within the last 6 hours if u havn't grabbed them yet. Then they are free to hit u w/e till the nw range closes.

assuming i read that right, you can't hit within six hours of end of set, but if somebody attacked you six hours and one minute before, you can retal at five hours fifty nine minutes.. but two hours before end of set, (or whatever it might be?), your retal would have to be within 99% of nw?

i made up the 99% number but the nw match requirement gets tighter and tighter the closer you get to end of reset. read one of the recent announcements for details. it doesn't matter if the country has hit you.

ooh, so that's why noone had troops or tanks. doesnt this rule automatically render TTR useless? is this just in Express, or everywhere else too?

is there a time frame for this? Or if they hit you twice anywhere during the set, you can GS/AB them?

Right now the special GDI is here and on Primary. The time frame is the whole set; if someone hits you twice at any time their GDI is off and you can use all attacks on them. You are still in GDI until the time you make a second attack. You have the first strike.

so GDI switches off, or just for that person?

Humantarians at end of Reset
During the last 30 turns of a reset, the humanitarians range will tighten with ((turnsleft/31.7)^2+1.05) with a minimum of the range; (ie GDI, team)

Use this formula to work out how much nw you need to be able to hit back the guy. But since express turns are so quick, it changes really fast.

Just for that person, only for attacks by you.

Only humanitarians range is affected during the last 30 turns of a reset. It means its only 2 hours for express. From the time hsifreta posted his question, he should still be in range.

hsifreta, are you sure its humanitarians that its stopping you and you're sure that you hit the correct #? mayb you hit someone 12x larger or 12x smaller than you instead.
