I've done 30

edit: okay, it took 36 hits before damages started to edge up.

If this goes outside 24 hours, will my hits become very weak again?

yea

Finally did the signature thing.

correct me if I'm wrong qz, but technically the damage goes up every hit compared to the last for quite a while. really if you think about it, 70 buildings an AB on 10k built several times in a row is a small increase in the destructiveness of the successive attacks.

an increase of ~1% of built land seems significant?

So this is going live in Alliance next reset I assume? Along with the changes in the other thread you posted on spying, etc?

Military losses for the defender remain normal, y/n?

36 hits is pretty unreachable in primary.

yep, that's what i was thinking. Missiles will still hurt of course. maybe start multi-tapping with SDI tech

54 hits and damages don't go up in primary. So AB is pretty useless.

Chewi is probably referring to http://www.eestats.com/primary/country/229

The AB results look weird. Why does it look like a step function, 153-153-153 then 151-151 then 148-148 then 146-146 buildings, etc.

Is the damage partly based on the number of tanks sent, since it can be assumed that the attackers only change the number every 2 or 3 attacks? Would oversending more result in higher damage?

should be based only on defenders i think

Just to be clear, this won't actually affect the send-again button; but it will allow walling to be more effective. We will probably have other methods of dealing with super-fast KR's sometime in the future.

to get rid of super fast killruns, take away war. until then, you will have super-fast killruns.

in short term- im assuming that before the attack again button was in place killruns werent nearly as fast.

switch to the classic attack button, use this addon https://addons.mozilla.org/...irefox/addon/submittotab/ gives you an attack again button

making super fast kill runs possible in firefox for over 7 years!

The problem before the attack-again button was that it would reload the entire page every time somebody made an attack; which meant we were sending out the WHOLE attack page sometimes like 50x/second when a fast KR was going on, with nobody actually reading it; 7k vs the now like 200 bytes or something.

Reduces the bottleneck a ton

Well...the new special attack changes have pretty much nerfed solo-kills in Express...

I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

I hit a guy with over 200 successful BRs/ABs on Express and it didn't even take him down haha. Every time I went to do another batch, since he'd played I guess, it would start back over at 30 buildings per hit or whatever, and stay there for another 30 hits before ramping up.

edit: I guess my suggestion/comment would be in solo games, turning someone into a parking lot is too hard. I did over 200 hits! Can I recommend easing these changes off a bit in terms of buildings killed, even if you leave the civ killed formula as is?

Could up building losses I suppose; we didn't focus on that quite as much as civs obviously

So I just realized today that SR have been made pretty much pointless. I needed readiness in FFA so I SRed a guy down to 4000 pop and then started a KR. It took 190 hits to kill him and he only had 24k turrets to start with :(

I guess you could still use SRs late in the KR but thats a pretty small window to use them.

yeah, it kinda nerfed it. used to SR country A and B, kill country C with Br or GS then finish off country A and Bwith minimal ammount of attacks...

them days r gone.

I get it, this is much more realistic. I like this a lot. Now, if you could just change the ability to take land with just jets to something more realistic because you can't really hold territory without real boots on the ground.

Just sayin'.

I don't need anger management, people need to stop pissing me off!
