I demoed target 10 times (no bounces) but break didn't get lower at all and I doubt target had so low readiness that demoing didn't have any effects.

This is at FFA.

Maybe you were doing bioterrorism.

I'm pretty sure that demoralizing below 70% has little effect on the defenses military. Meaning that the break will be 70% of normal whether your opponents readiness is at 70% or 25%

I don't think those numbers are 100% accurate, but they are pretty close from what I understand

did he run turns? and what smlandau84 said

Readiness refers to how prepared a country's military is to fight an attack, either on offence or defence. When making attacks, readiness is multiplied directly with the attack strength; thus if a country's military is at 50% readiness, the attack will only be half as powerful. Defending has a minimum effective readiness of 70% however. [wiki]

I had 100% readiness on 1st attack and target didn't run any turns between demos and attacks but still break was same as it was originally which was minor oversent.

I did demos not bios (unless there's bug in spy center and demos do bios but show demos msg).

Either target had low readiness (possible although player didn't have much offensive military nor defends (0 defs) until I started hitting) but that doesn't explain why break wasn't lower.

you took weapons tech into account? Was he a dict? (boxcar breaks to not take dict bonus into account) Did he just change govs (that also lowers readiness)? Did he have med tech that reduced his losses?

if its none of those then i am out of ideas.

target wasn't dict nor had weap tech nor any other tech (restart you know) and only govt change is from mono to tyr.

even if defender (now died) had had readiness loss from govt change break should been lower.

marshal, why didn't you get a military op as well? that would have told you his readiness.

cause I didn't think I would need it, after that "incident" I've done military spy too to see if demos needed.

why wouldnt you think you would need it in order to confirm a bug

I assumed that country was at 100% readiness since no attacks past 24hrs and it had used over 100 turns.

someone else could of demo'd it and it was already under 70%

that's possible too but no hits on it past 24 hrs and again we would face the fact that break was same as it was before demos.

maybe he didn't regain readiness since he was last attacked or attacked himself

based on news boxcar provided I was 1st attacker and prolly spier too (at least no spy op provided on our site) and defender hadn't done attacks (like I said earlier he/she didn't have off. military besides some troops) but still fact is that break was still raw break aka his turrets + minor oversending not raw break/readiness + minor oversending.

Did you account for Defensive allies....?

def allies don't help on special attacks unless that has been changed.

It's not been changed. Your entire thread did not indicate what attack type you attacked with, and I thought you chain land grabbed, after which the target self-deleted.

now it is told but doesn't matter anymore, target died anyways at that day and later targets breaks have been lower after demos (not much but still lower).
