that's an interesting way of doing your conversion. let a suicider/war decide for you...
kinda makes the bpt a bit rough though.

not to mention your wasting a ton of turns.


7k labs on 7k acres will cost you 30mil cash, not 200mil.
7k labs on your 8.4k acres will cost 38mil cash abouts.

You were hit by 42 AB's killing about 3800 buildings and destroying 42 CS, (not 27).
(3800 buildings cost 21mil cash to destroy)

Not gonna say ABing is a smart way to go (Unless you did buy tanks in the rest of your countries, which you did), but in no way is the loss of 42 CS an advantage, even while saving you 21mil cash (Which is chump change, your country can pay for that much with 3 turns of teching).

On the other hand, your country cannot tech well, and will have no real income for several days now. (42 turns to rebuild CS then rebuild the country costs you about 160mil cash worth of lost income, and 1 day of time, assuming you rebuild as a farmer).

The problem is that most people worry about HPK and total number of kills. Those aren't the telling stats of a war, the beginning TNW and ending TNW is what matters. If IMP + Focus get 200 more kills this set than CC, but CC ends up with 10x their TNW, who won the war?

If your goal is to just out-kill the enemy, then ABing is not a wise strategy. If your goal is to actually win the war, then ABing is conditionally useful.

In this case, ABing a country puts it back at the tail end of the queue of countries to be killed, which given Donny's apparent lack of understanding of basic game mechanics, seems to be useful to leave him to last and kill off countries of the smarter members first.

At this point Focus and Imp's best strategy is to kill CC breakers, if they can even get a 0.8:1 kill ratio from this point onwards as well as keep up with restarts, they have a good shot at winning. Gonna be fun watching this.
