1374 defends on a single country!

My mistake was not recognizing immediately it was BRs (instead of walling mostly GSes), and was sitting on 250 pop (with 17 turns to wall) rather than 500 pop. :(

What country? Why do people like talking to themselves these days? Self aggrandizing, much?

<3 crest. #1146

Talking to yourself is a technique. I would like to educate you to its usefulness:

100% on Xin's post, except I always try to involve others so they have a window into my methodology and corresponding (in)sanity

I also don't own any ducks.

You're a red diaper doper baby, your methodology and corresponding (in)sanity are tarnished by constant leftist propaganda, in other words, FUBAR.

/me runs

KoH's so dumb he can't stray beyond a single line of thought.

what kind of terrible person doesn't own any ducks?!?

Oh Pang!, you got me good....

Well, I own 4 murloc (different colors) and a zergling/baneling transformable plushies!

What problem is your statement meant to solve?



That we go work out which country you ran? That we try to guess how you did? That we figure out why you walled against BR instead of GS?,.....etc,.....

FYI, I just rubberducked you into telling me which country you ran so I can figure if I farmed you good before you died. I'll let you figure out if indeed I did. That's me talking to myself by the way, in other words self aggrandizing,...much. Hehe.

Is crest complaining about something again?

Yeah, it seems like crest sounds very salty, or is sour a better word? I'm just having fun!

Awesome job , nice show!

Exactly! Toilet ducks are cool as fluff!

Hooray for ducks!

This may be the most 'fun' part about warring @ Xin. Love walling.

You had a good run. Very nice! We mostly had you as an offline target, but finally pulled you because we didn't think it was worth it to just keep letting you rack up defends.

It's not like this country walled a rush or anything.

Awwww yisss another dead Laffer.

starcraft 2 ftw i play to little of that theses days :(

Like I said,

You don't seem to show up in the EESTATS top ten list.

Don Gollum has a handsome lead there. I was catching him at one point but have now sadly fallen back.

Nice Job !

The restart bonuses seem a bit.... I don't know whether it is balanced. Currently, you gain 20% + 0.06% per defend of your previous country for your next restart, so it takes 1250 defends to cap out at the 95% restart cap.

So the weird part is that while my country is dead, it effectively didn't do much. My restart has 95% of everything the original had, and due to the restart bonuses, it actually has more cash on hand on the restart than the dead country. So to kill any stockpile, I would have to be killed again. The restart also has 600 more acres than the dead one, because it is the last week of the reset.

It just feels... strange. Not just that, the new BR formula makes it so that I lost no CSes when I get BRed, the only CSes I lost was due to CMs, so something like 450 CS dropped to like 410 after some CMs, it pretty much only took 3 turns to rebuild all the farms destroyed in some 20 hits. I'm also uncertain whether the BR nerf was "too much", I still have a ridiculous 90+ BPT, and it'll only take 11 turns to build up all the empty acres, fully functional country even before 15 turns OOP.

On the other hand, killing off most of the population though, completely killed production of any kind, even if most of the farms were still standing, so there's that at least.

95% seems like a very high % to cap at, although it is normally very difficult to even reach that.

Personally, I don't know if the restart bonuses actually achieved the goal of prolonging wars, although it is perceived to have done so.

That list is "faulty". It only shows countries that are still alive.

I bet the bonuses increase restart rate. I was floored when I restarted and had all that tech on hand, it made it pretty easy to be ready to rock again, made it less aggravating that my carefully crafted tyr tech died in between the time I got the alert and logged in.
