No, I don't think it is you. I just think that you are too lazy to actually put some effort into a country and win a set. You find it easier to just be a troll or mess with other people's countries because that is easier.

Actually Tellarion, we have been asking Pang to change it. He said he would look into it, but he refused to touch the code because qzjul was doing all these major backend changes (that have now been completed about a month ago).

Also, Pang was one of the countries we detagged last reset for not playing his country. So he isn't really "playing" in LaF.

The moderators will FS LaF in defense of Pang!!! :P

well that explains it... ABs aren't overpowered provided you have at least some defense. I think it's reasonable to require countries to ahve some defense.

Yeah, there's no excuse at this point. But when he started 2 days ago and he had 5k-10k tanks, that's a bit excessive. There's not even enough tanks on the market for everyone to have even 1-2k...

It is too much damage no matter the circumstances. It should be toned down, at the very least during the early set.

I take it that you didn't learn anything from the first round of ABs as you failed to make the necessary change to protect yourselves. hmmmph! I would have just gotten tanks and then worried about what else to do. LOL

Could 70 GS and 50 SRs do it if guy had 0 spies or troops?

Might have to stick to AB FS FTW tho, it's kinda my thing.

The ABs rule! Sure they lost their last match against England, but that was a fluke by them.

We currently hold the Bledislode cup, the tri-nations cup and the world cup and have been ranked number 1 in the world for how long?

Civs could run faster than the tanks' bullets.
But not with the GS, coz troops can run fast too.

I think they are. Say you got a 3k acre country, 15k tanks. It would take hardly any attacks to "ramp up" vs. such a low number of tanks. How many defending tanks would die per hit? Therefore, how many hits would it take to make the number of defending tanks something negligible? I could make an alliance country and AB the countries *with* tanks to prove demonstrate but I think I'll pass on that.

you know my opinion requiem?

lots of hate here!

I've stated before that I'll tweak 'em! it was waiting on my back-end changes as Xinhuan said; that was about a month ago, and I've done some bug-fixing since then, but have been *extremely* busy at work.

Slagpit and I already discussed modifications to the low end of specials like 2-3 months ago; just hasn't gone in yet.

I also have some changes in the pipeline for DR, esp the permanent country:country -- we'll probably replace that with something else....

Finally did the signature thing.

Could someone please explain why 5 tanks per acre is a magic number for AB defense? What happens when you have more/less than that when getting ABed?

Can't seem to find the reference to that on wiki or the boards. Thanks.

I believe qz said the magic number was 1 tank per acre for reduced damages. with 5 tanks per acre it'll take ~30 ABs to get to that point with no medical tech.

it's more or less a way to limit suicider damage to 1, maybe 2 countries in a tag when they go the AB route. the alternative is much worse. you need a handful of ABs against 0 tanks to ruin a country...
